¹For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of God Most High, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him,

¹Ecen Melchisedech haur cen Salemgo regue, Iainco subiranoaren Sacrificadore, cein bidera ilki içan baitzayón Abrahami haur reguén deseguitetic itzultzen cela, eta harc ceçan benedica:

²to whom also Abraham divided a tenth part of all (being first, by interpretation, king of righteousness, and then also king of Salem, which is king of peace;

²Hari hamarrena-ere gauça gucietaric parti cieçón Abrahamec: eta lehenic hura da interpretatzen iustitiazco regue, eta guero Salemgo regue-ere: cein erran nahi baita baquezco regue:

³without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made like the Son of God), remains a priest continually.

³Aita gabe, ama gabe, leinu gabe: eztuelaric egunén hatseric, ez vicitzearen finic: baina Iaincoaren Semearen irudico eguin içanic, dago Sacrificadore eternalqui.

⁴Now consider how great this man was, to whom even Abraham, the patriarch, gave a tenth out of the best spoils.

⁴Considera eçaçue bada cein handi eguin içan den haur, ceini Abraham patriarchac despuilletaco hamarrena-ere eman baitzieçón.

⁵They indeed of the sons of Levi who receive the priest’s office have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is, of their brothers, though these have come out of the body of Abraham,

⁵Eta Leuiren semetaric diradenéc Sacrificadoregoa dutelaric, manua baduté populuaganic hamarrenaren hartzeco Leguearen arauez, erran nahi baita, bere anayetaric, Abrahamen guerruncetic ilki içan badirade-ere.

⁶but he whose genealogy is not counted from them has accepted tithes from Abraham, and has blessed him who has the promises.

⁶Baina hec diraden leinu bereco contatzen eztenac, hamarrena hartu vkan du Abrahamganic, eta promessac cituena benedicatu vkan du.

⁷But without any dispute the lesser is blessed by the greater.

⁷Eta contradictioneric batre gabe chipién dena guehién denaz benedicatzen da.

⁸Here people who die receive tithes, but there one receives tithes of whom it is testified that he lives.

⁸Eta hemen hiltzen diraden guiçonec hamarrenac hartzen dituzté: baina han vici dela testimoniage duenac hartzen ditu.

⁹We can say that through Abraham even Levi, who receives tithes, has paid tithes,

⁹Eta (hunela minça nadin) Abrahamtan detchematu içan da Leui bera-ere, ceinec hamarrenac hartzen ohi baititu.

¹⁰for he was yet in the body of his father when Melchizedek met him.

¹⁰Ecen hura oraino bere aitaren guerruncean cen, Melchisedec Abrahami bidera ilki içan çayonean.

¹¹Now if there were perfection through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people have received the law), what further need was there for another priest to arise after the order of Melchizedek, and not be called after the order of Aaron?

¹¹Beraz baldin perfectionea Sacrificadoregoa Leuiticoan içan baliz (ecen populuac Leguea haren azpian recebitu vkan du) cer behar cen goitiric berce Sacrificadorebat Melchisedech-en façoinera altcha ledin, eta ezladin Aaronen façoinera erran?

¹²For the priesthood being changed, there is of necessity a change made also in the law.

¹²Ecen Sacrificadoregoaren officioa cambiatu içanic, necessario da Leguearen cambioa-ere eguin dadin.

¹³For he of whom these things are said belongs to another tribe, from which no one has officiated at the altar.

¹³Ecen gauça hauc norçaz erraiten baitirade hura berce leinuri appartenitzen çayó, cein leinutaric nehorc ezpaitu aldarea cerbitzatu vkan.

¹⁴For it is evident that our Lord has sprung out of Judah, about which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priesthood.

¹⁴Ecen claro da Iudaren leinutic ilki içan dela gure Iauna, cein leinutan ezpaitu Moysesec Sacrificadoregoaz deus erran.

¹⁵This is yet more abundantly evident, if after the likeness of Melchizedek there arises another priest,

¹⁵Eta are haur da claroago, ceren Melchisedech-en façoinera ilkiten baita berce Sacrificadorebat:

¹⁶who has been made, not after the law of a fleshly commandment, but after the power of an endless life:

¹⁶Cein ezpaita Sacrificadore eguin içan manamendu carnaleco Leguearen arauez, baina vicitze immortaleco puissançaren arauez.

¹⁷for it is testified, “You are a priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek.” Psalm 110:4

¹⁷Ecen testificatzen du hunela, Hi aiz Sacrificadore eternalqui Melchisedech-en façoinera.

¹⁸For there is an annulling of a foregoing commandment because of its weakness and uselessness

¹⁸Ecen aitzineco manamendua abolitzen da bere debilitateagatic eta probetchu gabeagatic.

¹⁹(for the law made nothing perfect), and a bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw near to God.

¹⁹Ecen eztu deus perfectionetara eraman vkan Legueac: baina içan da sperança hobeagoren preparationebat ceinez hurbiltzen baicara Iaincoagana.

²⁰Inasmuch as he was not made priest without the taking of an oath

²⁰Eta iuramendu gabe içan eztén becembatean (ecen berceac iuramendu gabe Sacrificadore eguin içan dirade.

²¹(for they indeed have been made priests without an oath), but he with an oath by him that says of him, “The Lord swore and will not change his mind, ‘You are a priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek.’” Psalm 110:4

²¹Baina haur iuramendurequin, hari erran vkan draucanaz, Iuratu vkan dic Iaunac, eta etziayóc doluturen, Hi aiz Sacrificadore eternalqui Melchisedech-en façoinera)

²²By so much, Jesus has become the collateral of a better covenant.

²²Hambatenaz alliança hobeagoren fiadore eguin içan da Iesus.

²³Many, indeed, have been made priests, because they are hindered from continuing by death.

²³Eta Sacrificadoréz den becembatean, anhitz eguin içan dirade, ceren herioaz empatchatzen baitziraden egoitera.

²⁴But he, because he lives forever, has his priesthood unchangeable.

²⁴Baina hunec, ceren eternalqui egoiten baita, Sacrificadoregoa perpetualbat du.

²⁵Therefore he is also able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, seeing that he lives forever to make intercession for them.

²⁵Eta halacotz salua-ere perfectoqui ahal ditzaque, harçaz Iaincoagana hurbiltzen diradenac, bethi vici delaric hecgatic ararteco içateco.

²⁶For such a high priest was fitting for us: holy, guiltless, undefiled, separated from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;

²⁶Ecen beharra guenduen halaco Sacrificadore subiranobat guenduen, saindua, innocenta, macularic gabea, bekatoretaric separatua, ceruäc baino gorago altchatua:

²⁷who doesn’t need, like those high priests, to offer up sacrifices daily, first for his own sins, and then for the sins of the people. For he did this once for all, when he offered up himself.

²⁷Ceinec ezluen beharric egun oroz, berce Sacrificadore subiranoéc beçala, lehenic bere bekatuacgatic sacrificioric offrendatu, guero populuarenacgatic: ecen haur behingoaz eguin vkan du bere buruä offrendaturic.

²⁸For the law appoints men as high priests who have weakness, but the word of the oath which came after the law appoints a Son forever who has been perfected.

²⁸Ecen Legueac Sacrificadore subirano ordenatzen ditu guiçon infirmoac: baina iuramenduco hitz Leguearen ondocoac, ordenatzen du Seme eternalqui sanctificatua.
