| 1 | For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of the Most High God, met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him; | The Priestly Order of Melchizedek Hb.7.1-28 | Οὗτος γὰρ Mελχισέδεκ, βασιλεὺς Σαλήμ, ἱερεὺς τοῦ θεοῦ τοῦ ὑψίστου, ὁ συναντήσας Ἀβραὰμ ὑποστρέφοντι ἀπὸ τῆς κοπῆς τῶν βασιλέων καὶ εὐλογήσας αὐτόν, | |
| 2 | and to him Abraham apportioned a tenth part of everything. He is first, by translation of his name, king of righteousness, and then he is also king of Salem, that is, king of peace. | ᾧ καὶ δεκάτην ἀπὸ πάντων ἐμέρισεν Ἀβραάμ, πρῶτον μὲν ἑρμηνευόμενος βασιλεὺς δικαιοσύνης ἐπειτα δὲ καὶ βασιλεὺς Σαλήμ, ὁ ἐστιν βασιλεὺς εἰρήνης, | ||
| 3 | He is without father or mother or genealogy, and has neither beginning of days nor end of life, but resembling the Son of God he continues a priest for ever. | ἀπάτωρ, ἀμήτωρ, ἀγενεαλόγητος, μήτε ἀρχὴν ἡμερῶν μήτε ζωῆς τέλος ἐχων, ἀφωμοιωμένος δὲ τῷ υἱῷ τοῦ θεοῦ, μένει ἱερεὺς εἰς τὸ διηνεκές. | ||
| 4 | See how great he is! Abraham the patriarch gave him a tithe of the spoils. | Θεωρεῖτε δὲ πηλίκος οὗτος ᾧ δεκάτην Ἀβραὰμ ἐδωκεν ἐκ τῶν ἀκροθινίων ὁ πατριάρχης. | ||
| 5 | And those descendants of Levi who receive the priestly office have a commandment in the law to take tithes from the people, that is, from their brethren, though these also are descended from Abraham. | καὶ οἱ μὲν ἐκ τῶν υἱῶν Λευὶ τὴν ἱερατείαν λαμβάνοντες ἐντολὴν ἐχουσιν ἀποδεκατοῦν τὸν λαὸν κατὰ τὸν νόμον, τοῦτ' ἐστιν τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς αὐτῶν, καίπερ ἐξεληλυθότας ἐκ τῆς ὀσφύος Ἀβραάμ· | ||
| 6 | But this man who has not their genealogy received tithes from Abraham and blessed him who had the promises. | ὁ δὲ μὴ γενεαλογούμενος ἐξ αὐτῶν δεδεκάτωκεν Ἀβραάμ, καὶ τὸν ἐχοντα τὰς ἐπαγγελίας εὐλόγηκεν. | ||
| 7 | It is beyond dispute that the inferior is blessed by the superior. | χωρὶς δὲ πάσης ἀντιλογίας τὸ ἐλαττον ὑπὸ τοῦ κρείττονος εὐλογεῖται. | ||
| 8 | Here tithes are received by mortal men; there, by one of whom it is testified that he lives. | καὶ ὧδε μὲν δεκάτας ἀποθνῄσκοντες ἄνθρωποι λαμβάνουσιν, ἐκεῖ δὲ μαρτυρούμενος ὅτι ζῇ. | ||
| 9 | One might even say that Levi himself, who receives tithes, paid tithes through Abraham, | καὶ ὡς ἐπος εἰπεῖν, δῖ Ἀβραὰμ καὶ Λευὶ ὁ δεκάτας λαμβάνων δεδεκάτωται, | ||
| 10 | for he was still in the loins of his ancestor when Melchizedek met him. | ἐτι γὰρ ἐν τῇ ὀσφύϊ τοῦ πατρὸς ἦν ὅτε συνήντησεν αὐτῷ Μελχισέδεκ. | ||
| 11 | Now if perfection had been attainable through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people received the law), what further need would there have been for another priest to arise after the order of Melchizedek, rather than one named after the order | Εἰ μὲν οὖν τελείωσις διὰ τῆς Λευιτικῆς ἱερωσύνης ἦν, ὁ λαὸς γὰρ ἐπ' αὐτῆς νενομοθέτηται, τίς ἐτι χρεία κατὰ τὴν τάξιν Μελχισέδεκ ἑτερον ἀνίστασθαι ἱερέα καὶ οὐ κατὰ τὴν τάξιν Ἀαρὼν λέγεσθαὶ; | ||
| 12 | For when there is a change in the priesthood, there is necessarily a change in the law as well. | μετατιθεμένης γὰρ τῆς ἱερωσύνης ἐξ ἀνάγκης καὶ νόμου μετάθεσις γίνεται. | ||
| 13 | For the one of whom these things are spoken belonged to another tribe, from which no one has ever served at the altar. | ἐφ' ὃν γὰρ λέγεται ταῦτα φυλῆς ἑτέρας μετέσχηκεν, ἀφ' ἧς οὐδεὶς προσέσχηκεν τῷ θυσιαστηρίῳ· | ||
| 14 | For it is evident that our Lord was descended from Judah, and in connection with that tribe Moses said nothing about priests. | πρόδηλον γὰρ ὅτι ἐξ Ἰούδα ἀνατέταλκεν ὁ κύριος ἡμῶν, εἰς ἣν φυλὴν περὶ ἱερέων οὐδὲν Μωϋσῆς ἐλάλησεν. | ||
| 15 | This becomes even more evident when another priest arises in the likeness of Melchizedek, | καὶ περισσότερον ἐτι κατάδηλόν ἐστιν, εἰ κατὰ τὴν ὁμοιότητα Mελχισέδεκ ἀνίσταται ἱερεὺς ἑτερος, | ||
| 16 | who has become a priest, not according to a legal requirement concerning bodily descent but by the power of an indestructible life. | ὃς οὐ κατὰ νόμον ἐντολῆς σαρκίνης γέγονεν ἀλλὰ κατὰ δύναμιν ζωῆς ἀκαταλύτου, | ||
| 17 | For it is witnessed of him, "You are a priest for ever, | - Thou art a priest for ever, after the order of Melchiz'edek. Hb.7.17 | Ps.110.4 | μαρτυρεῖται γὰρ ὅτι Σὺ ἱερεὺς εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα | |
| 18 | On the one hand, a former commandment is set aside because of its weakness and uselessness | ἀθέτησις μὲν γὰρ γίνεται προαγούσης ἐντολῆς διὰ τὸ αὐτῆς ἀσθενὲς καὶ ἀνωφελές, | ||
| 19 | (for the law made nothing perfect); on the other hand, a better hope is introduced, through which we draw near to God. | οὐδὲν γὰρ ἐτελείωσεν ὁ νόμος, ἐπεισαγωγὴ δὲ κρείττονος ἐλπίδος, δῖ ἧς ἐγγίζομεν τῷ θεῷ. | ||
| 20 | And it was not without an oath. | Καὶ καθ' ὁσον οὐ χωρὶς ὁρκωμοσίας, οἱ μὲν γὰρ χωρὶς ὁρκωμοσίας εἰσὶν ἱερεῖς γεγονότες, | ||
| 21 | Those who formerly became priests took their office without an oath, but this one was addressed with an oath, "The Lord has sworn and will not change his mind, | - The Lord has sworn and will not change his mind Hb.7.21 | Ps.110.4 | ὁ δὲ μετὰ ὁρκωμοσίας διὰ τοῦ λέγοντος πρὸς αὐτόν, Ὤμοσεν κύριος, καὶ οὐ μεταμεληθήσεται, | |
| 22 | This makes Jesus the surety of a better covenant. | κατὰ τοσοῦτο καὶ κρείττονος διαθήκης γέγονεν ἐγγυος Ἰησοῦς. | ||
| 23 | The former priests were many in number, because they were prevented by death from continuing in office; | καὶ οἱ μὲν πλείονές εἰσιν γεγονότες ἱερεῖς διὰ τὸ θανάτῳ κωλύεσθαι παραμένειν· | ||
| 24 | but he holds his priesthood permanently, because he continues for ever. | ὁ δὲ διὰ τὸ μένειν αὐτὸν εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα ἀπαράβατον ἐχει τὴν ἱερωσύνην· | ||
| 25 | Consequently he is able for all time to save those who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them. | ὁθεν καὶ σῴζειν εἰς τὸ παντελὲς δύναται τοὺς προσερχομένους δῖ αὐτοῦ τῷ θεῷ, πάντοτε ζῶν εἰς τὸ ἐντυγχάνειν ὑπὲρ αὐτῶν. | ||
| 26 | For it was fitting that we should have such a high priest, holy, blameless, unstained, separated from sinners, exalted above the heavens. | Τοιοῦτος γὰρ ἡμῖν καὶ ἐπρεπεν ἀρχιερεύς, ὁσιος, ἀκακος, ἀμίαντος, κεχωρισμένος ἀπὸ τῶν ἀμαρτωλῶν, καὶ ὑψηλότερος τῶν οὐρανῶν γενόμενος· | ||
| 27 | He has no need, like those high priests, to offer sacrifices daily, first for his own sins and then for those of the people; he did this once for all when he offered up himself. | ὃς οὐκ ἐχει καθ' ἡμέραν ἀνάγκην, ὡσπερ οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς, πρότερον ὑπὲρ τῶν ἰδίων ἀμαρτιῶν θυσίας ἀναφέρειν, ἐπειτα τῶν τοῦ λαοῦ· τοῦτο γὰρ ἐποίησεν ἐφάπαξ ἑαυτὸν ἀνενέ γκας. | ||
| 28 | Indeed, the law appoints men in their weakness as high priests, but the word of the oath, which came later than the law, appoints a Son who has been made perfect for ever. | ὁ νόμος γὰρ ἀνθρώπους καθίστησιν ἀρχιερεῖς ἐχοντας ἀσθένειαν, ὁ λόγος δὲ τῆς ὁρκωμοσίας τῆς μετὰ τὸν νόμον υἱὸν εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τετελειωμένον. | ||
