Hebrews - Chapter: 7


7:1	And this Melchisedech, king of Salem, and preest of the hiyeste God, which mette with Abraham, as he turnede ayen fro the sleyng of kyngis, and blesside hym;
7:2	to whom also Abraham departide tithis of alle thingis; first he is seid king of riytwisnesse, and aftirward kyng of Salem, that is to seie, king of pees,
7:3	with out fadir, with out modir, with out genologie, nether hauynge bigynnyng of daies, nether ende of lijf; and he is lickened to the sone of God, and dwellith preest with outen ende.
7:4	But biholde ye how greet is this, to whom Abraham the patriark yaf tithis of the beste thingis.
7:5	For men of the sones of Leuy takinge presthod han maundement to take tithis of the puple, bi the lawe, that is to seie, of her britheren, thouy also thei wenten out of the leendis of Abraham.
7:6	But he whos generacioun is not noumbrid in hem, took tithis of Abraham; and he blesside this Abraham, which hadde repromyssiouns.
7:7	With outen ony ayenseiyng, that that is lesse, is blessid of the betere.
7:8	And heere deedli men taken tithis; but there he berith witnessyng, that he lyueth.
7:9	And that it be seid so, bi Abraham also Leuy, that took tithis, was tithid; and yit he was in his fadris leendis,
7:10	whanne Melchisedech mette with hym.
7:11	Therfor if perfeccioun was bi the preesthood of Leuy, for vndur hym the puple took the lawe, what yit was it nedeful, another preest to rise, bi the ordre of Melchisedech, and not to be seid bi the ordre of Aaron?
7:12	For whi whanne the preesthod is translatid, it is nede that also translacioun of the lawe be maad.
7:13	But he in whom these thingis ben seid, is of another lynage, of which no man was preest to the auter.
7:14	For it is opyn, that oure Lord is borun of Juda, in which lynage Moises spak no thing of preestis.
7:15	And more yit it is knowun, if bi the ordre of Melchisedech another preest is risun vp;
7:16	which is not maad bi the lawe of fleischli maundement, but bi vertu of lijf that may not be vndon.
7:17	For he witnessith, That thou art a preest with outen ende, bi the ordre of Melchisedech;
7:18	that repreuyng of the maundement bifor goynge is maad, for the vnsadnesse and vnprofit of it.
7:19	For whi the lawe brouyt no thing to perfeccioun, but there is a bringing in of a betere hope, bi which we neiyen to God.
7:20	And hou greet it is, not with out sweryng; but the othere ben maad preestis with outen an ooth;
7:21	but this preest with an ooth, bi hym that seide `to hym, The Lord swoor, and it schal not rewe hym, Thou art a preest with outen ende, bi the ordre of Melchisedech;
7:22	in so myche Jhesus is maad biheetere of the betere testament.
7:23	And the othere weren maad manye preestis, `therfor for thei weren forbedun bi deth to dwelle stille;
7:24	but this, for he dwellith with outen ende, hath an euerlastynge preesthod.
7:25	Wherfor also he may saue with outen ende, comynge nyy bi hym silf to God, and euermore lyueth to preye for vs.
7:26	For it bisemyde that sich a man were a bischop to vs, hooli, innocent, vndefoulid, clene, departid fro synful men, and maad hiyere than heuenes;
7:27	which hath not nede ech dai, as prestis, first for hise owne giltis to offre sacrifices, and aftirward for the puple; for he dide this thing in offringe hym silf onys.
7:28	And the lawe ordeynede men prestis hauynge sijknesse; but the word of swering, which is after the lawe, ordeynede the sone perfit with outen ende.


7:1	For this Melchi-sedec was King of Salem, the Priest of the most high God, who met Abraham, as he returned from the slaughter of the Kings, and blessed him:
7:2	To whom also Abraham gaue the tithe of all things: who first is by interpretation King of righteousnes: after that, he is also King of Salem, that is, King of peace,
7:3	Without father, without mother, without kinred, and hath neither beginning of his dayes, neither ende of life: but is likened vnto the Sonne of God, and continueth a Priest for euer.
7:4	Nowe consider how great this man was, vnto whome euen the Patriarke Abraham gaue the tithe of the spoyles.
7:5	For verely they which are the childre of Leui, which receiue the office of the Priesthode, haue a commandement to take, according to the Law, tithes of the people (that is, of their bethren) though they came out of ye loynes of Abraham.
7:6	But he whose kindred is not couted among them, receiued tithes of Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises.
7:7	And without all contradiction the lesse is blessed of the greater.
7:8	And here men that die, receiue tithes: but there he receiueth them, of whome it is witnessed, that he liueth.
7:9	And to say as the thing is, Leui also which receiueth tithes, payed tithes in Abraham.
7:10	For hee was yet in the loynes of his father Abraham, when Melchi-sedec met him.
7:11	If therefore perfection had bene by the Priesthoode of the Leuites (for vnder it the Lawe was established to the people) what needed it furthermore, that another Priest should rise after the order of Melchi-sedec, and not to be called after the order of Aaron?
7:12	For if the Priesthood be changed, then of necessitie must there be a change of the Lawe.
7:13	For hee of whome these things are spoken, perteineth vnto another tribe, whereof no man serued at the altar.
7:14	For it is euident, that our Lord sprung out of Iuda, concerning the which tribe Moses spake nothing, touching the Priesthood.
7:15	And it is yet a more euident thing, because that after the similitude of Melchi-sedec, there is risen vp another Priest,
7:16	Which is not made Priest after the Law of the carnal commandement, but after the power of the endlesse life.
7:17	For hee testifieth thus, Thou art a Priest for euer, after the order of Melchi-sedec.
7:18	For the commandement that went afore, is disanulled, because of the weakenes thereof, and vnprofitablenes.
7:19	For the Law made nothing perfite, but the bringing in of a better hope made perfite, whereby we drawe neere vnto God.
7:20	And for as much as it is not without an othe (for these are made Priestes without an othe:
7:21	But this is made with an othe by him that said vnto him, The Lord hath sworne, and will not repent, Thou art a Priest for euer, after the order of Melchi-sedec)
7:22	By so much is Iesus made a suretie of a better Testament.
7:23	And among them many were made Priests, because they were not suffered to endure, by the reason of death.
7:24	But this man, because hee endureth euer, hath a Priesthood, which cannot passe from one to another.
7:25	Wherefore, hee is able also perfectly to saue them that come vnto God by him, seeing he euer liueth, to make intercession for them.
7:26	For such an hie Priest it became vs to haue, which is holy, harmelesse, vndefiled, separate from sinners, and made hier then the heauens:
7:27	Which needeth not daily as those hie Priests to offer vp sacrifice, first for his owne sinnes, and then for the peoples: for that did he once, when he offered vp himselfe.
7:28	For the Law maketh men hie Priestes, which haue infirmitie: but the word of the othe that was since the Lawe, maketh the Sonne, who is consecrated for euermore.


7:1	Because, this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of the Most High God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him,
7:2	to whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all, first being translated as "king of righteousness," and then also king of Salem, that is "king of peace,"
7:3	without 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.
7:4	Now consider how great this man was, to whom even the patriarch Abraham gave a tenth of the spoils.
7:5	And indeed those who are of the sons of Levi, who receive the office of the priesthood, have a commandment to receive tithes from the people according to the law, that is, from their brethren, though they have come from the loins of Abraham;
7:6	but he whose genealogy is not derived from them received tithes from Abraham and blessed him who had the promises.
7:7	Now beyond all contradiction the lesser is blessed by the better.
7:8	And here mortal men receive tithes, but there he receives them, of whom it is witnessed that he lives.
7:9	And Levi also, who receives tithes, paid tithes through Abraham, so to speak,
7:10	because he was still in the loins of his father when Melchizedek met him.
7:11	Therefore, if perfection were through the Levitical priesthood (because under it the people received the law), what further need was there that another priest should rise according to the order of Melchizedek, and not be called according to the order of Aaron?
7:12	Because, the priesthood being changed, of necessity there is also a change of the law.
7:13	Because, He of whom these things are spoken belongs to another tribe, from which no man has served at the altar.
7:14	Because, it is evident that our Lord arose out of Judah, of which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priesthood.
7:15	And it is yet far more evident if, in the likeness of Melchizedek, there arises another priest
7:16	who is made, not according to the law of a fleshly commandment, but according to the power of an endless life.
7:17	Because He testifies: "You are a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek."
7:18	Because, on the one hand there is truly an annulling of the former commandment because of its weakness and unprofitableness,
7:19	because, the law made nothing perfect; but the bringing in of a better hope did, by which we draw near to God.
7:20	And inasmuch as He was not made priest without an oath
7:21	(because, they have become priests without an oath, but He with an oath by Him who said to Him: "The LORD has sworn and will not relent, 'You are a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek'"),
7:22	by so much more Jesus has become a surety of a better testament.
7:23	Also truly there were many priests, because they were prevented by death from continuing.
7:24	But this Man, because He continues forever, has an unchangeable priesthood.
7:25	Therefore He is also able to save to the uttermost those who come to God by Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them.
7:26	Because, such a High Priest was fitting for us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and has become higher than the heavens;
7:27	who does not need daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifices, first for His own sins and then for the people's, because this He did once when He offered up Himself.
7:28	Because, the law appoints men as high priests who have weakness, but the word of the oath, which came after the law, appoints the Son who is consecrated forever.
