Lettera agli Ebrei (عبرانيين) 7

SMITH VAN DYKE	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 لان ملكي صادق هذا ملك ساليم كاهن الله العلي الذي استقبل ابراهيم راجعا من كسرة الملوك وباركه	1 This "Melchizedek, king of Salem and priest of God Most High," "met Abraham as he returned from his defeat of the kings" and "blessed him."
2 الذي قسم له ابراهيم عشرا من كل شيء. المترجم اولا ملك البر ثم ايضا ملك ساليم اي ملك السلام	2 And Abraham apportioned to him "a tenth of everything." His name first means righteous king, and he was also "king of Salem," that is, king of peace.
3 بلا اب بلا ام بلا نسب. لا بداءة ايام له ولا نهاية حياة بل هو مشبه بابن الله هذا يبقى كاهنا الى الابد.	3 Without father, mother, or ancestry, without beginning of days or end of life, thus made to resemble the Son of God, he remains a priest forever.
4 ثم انظروا ما اعظم هذا الذي اعطاه ابراهيم رئيس الآباء عشرا ايضا من راس الغنائم.	4 See how great he is to whom the patriarch "Abraham (indeed) gave a tenth" of his spoils.
5 واما الذين هم من بني لاوي الذين يأخذون الكهنوت فلهم وصية ان يعشروا الشعب بمقتضى الناموس اي اخوتهم مع انهم قد خرجوا من صلب ابراهيم.	5 The descendants of Levi who receive the office of priesthood have a commandment according to the law to exact tithes from the people, that is, from their brothers, although they also have come from the loins of Abraham.
6 ولكن الذي ليس له نسب منهم قد عشّر ابراهيم وبارك الذي له المواعيد	6 But he who was not of their ancestry received tithes from Abraham and blessed him who had received the promises.
7 وبدون كل مشاجرة الاصغر يبارك من الاكبر.	7 Unquestionably, a lesser person is blessed by a greater.
8 وهنا اناس مائتون يأخذون عشرا واما هناك فالمشهود له بانه حيّ.	8 In the one case, mortal men receive tithes; in the other, a man of whom it is testified that he lives on.
9 حتى اقول كلمة ان لاوي ايضا الآخذ الاعشار قد عشّر بابراهيم.	9 One might even say that Levi himself, who receives tithes, was tithed through Abraham,
10 لانه كان بعد في صلب ابيه حين استقبله ملكي صادق	10 for he was still in his father's loins when Melchizedek met him.
11 فلو كان بالكهنوت اللاوي كمال. اذ الشعب اخذ الناموس عليه. ماذا كانت الحاجة بعد الى ان يقوم كاهن آخر على رتبة ملكي صادق ولا يقال على رتبة هرون.	11 If, then, perfection came through the levitical priesthood, on the basis of which the people received the law, what need would there still have been for another priest to arise according to the order of Melchizedek, and not reckoned according to the order of Aaron?
12 لانه ان تغيّر الكهنوت فبالضرورة يصير تغيّر للناموس ايضا.	12 When there is a change of priesthood, there is necessarily a change of law as well.
13 لان الذي يقال عنه هذا كان شريكا في سبط آخر لم يلازم احد منه المذبح.	13 Now he of whom these things are said belonged to a different tribe, of which no member ever officiated at the altar.
14 فانه واضح ان ربنا قد طلع من سبط يهوذا الذي لم يتكلم عنه موسى شيئا من جهة الكهنوت.	14 It is clear that our Lord arose from Judah, and in regard to that tribe Moses said nothing about priests.
15 وذلك اكثر وضوحا ايضا ان كان على شبه ملكي صادق يقوم كاهن آخر	15 It is even more obvious if another priest is raised up after the likeness of Melchizedek,
16 قد صار ليس بحسب ناموس وصية جسدية بل بحسب قوة حياة لا تزول.	16 who has become so, not by a law expressed in a commandment concerning physical descent but by the power of a life that cannot be destroyed.
17 لانه يشهد انك كاهن الى الابد على رتبة ملكي صادق	17 For it is testified: "You are a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek."
18 فانه يصير ابطال الوصية السابقة من اجل ضعفها وعدم نفعها.	18 On the one hand, a former commandment is annulled because of its weakness and uselessness,
19 اذ الناموس لم يكمل شيئا. ولكن يصير ادخال رجاء افضل به نقترب الى الله.	19 for the law brought nothing to perfection; on the other hand, a better hope is introduced, through which we draw near to God.
20 وعلى قدر ما انه ليس بدون قسم.	20 And to the degree that this happened not without the taking of an oath --for others became priests without an oath,
21 لان اولئك بدون قسم قد صاروا كهنة واما هذا فبقسم من القائل له اقسم الرب ولن يندم انت كاهن الى الابد على رتبة ملكي صادق.	21 but he with an oath, through the one who said to him: "The Lord has sworn, and he will not repent: 'You are a priest forever'"--
22 على قدر ذلك قد صار يسوع ضامنا لعهد افضل.	22 to that same degree has Jesus (also) become the guarantee of an (even) better covenant.
23 واولئك قد صاروا كهنة كثيرين من اجل منعهم بالموت عن البقاء.	23 Those priests were many because they were prevented by death from remaining in office,
24 واما هذا فمن اجل انه يبقى الى الابد له كهنوت لا يزول.	24 but he, because he remains forever, has a priesthood that does not pass away.
25 فمن ثم يقدر ان يخلّص ايضا الى التمام الذين يتقدمون به الى الله اذ هو حيّ في كل حين ليشفع فيهم.	25 Therefore, he is always able to save those who approach God through him, since he lives forever to make intercession for them.
26 لانه كان يليق بنا رئيس كهنة مثل هذا قدوس بلا شر ولا دنس قد انفصل عن الخطاة وصار اعلى من السموات	26 It was fitting that we should have such a high priest: holy, innocent, undefiled, separated from sinners, higher than the heavens.
27 الذي ليس له اضطرار كل يوم مثل رؤساء الكهنة ان يقدم ذبائح اولا عن خطايا نفسه ثم عن خطايا الشعب لانه فعل هذا مرة واحدة اذ قدم نفسه.	27 He has no need, as did the high priests, to offer sacrifice day after day, first for his own sins and then for those of the people; he did that once for all when he offered himself.
28 فان الناموس يقيم اناسا بهم ضعف رؤساء كهنة واما كلمة القسم التي بعد الناموس فتقيم ابنا مكملا الى الابد	28 For the law appoints men subject to weakness to be high priests, but the word of the oath, which was taken after the law, appoints a son, who has been made perfect forever.
