Hebrews 7

For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him;

Fa io Melkizedeka io, izay mpanjakan'i Salema sy mpisoron'Andriamanitra Avo Indrindra, ilay nitsena an'i Abrahama, rehefa niverina avy nandresy ny mpanjaka maro izy ka nitso-drano azy,

To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace;

sady nomen'i Abrahama ny ampahafolon'ny zavatra rehetra aza (voalohany, raha adika ny anarany, dia Mpanjakan'ny fahamarinana, dia vao Mpanjakan'i Salema koa, izany hoe: Mpanjakan'ny fiadanana;

Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually.

tsy manan-dray, tsy manan-dreny, tsy manana tantaram-pirazanana, tsy manana voalohan'andro na faran'ny fiainana, fa natao tahaka ny Zanak'Andriamanitra),- izy dia mitoetra ho mpisorona mandrakariva.

Now consider how great this man was, unto whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils.

Ary hevero ny halehiben'io lehilahy io -, izay nomen'i Abrahama patriarka ny ampahafolon'izay tsara tamin'ny zavatra nobaboina.

And verily they that are of the sons of Levi, who receive the office of the priesthood, have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is, of their brethren, though they come out of the loins of Abraham:

Ary izay avy tamin'ny taranak'i Levy ka mandray ny fisoronana no mahazo teny haka ny fahafolon-karena amin'ny olona araka ny lalàna, dia amin'ny rahalahiny izany, na dia teraky ny kibon'i Abrahama aza ireny;

But he whose descent is not counted from them received tithes of Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises.

nefa izay tsy isan'ny firazanan'ireo akory no nandray ny fahafolon-karena tamin'i Abrahama sy nitso-drano ilay nanana ny teny fikasana.

And without all contradiction the less is blessed of the better.

Ary tsy azo lavina akory anefa fa ny kely no mahazo tso-drano amin'ny lehibe noho ny tenany.

And here men that die receive tithes; but there he receiveth them, of whom it is witnessed that he liveth.

Ary etỳ dia izay olona mety maty no mandray ny fahafolon-karena, fa any kosa dia izay nambara fa velona.

And as I may so say, Levi also, who receiveth tithes, payed tithes in Abraham.

Ary toa azo lazaina fa Levy aza, izay mandray ny fahafolon-karena, dia mba nandoa ny fahafolon-karena koa tao anatin'i Abrahama,

For he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchisedec met him.

satria mbola tao an-kibon-drainy ihany izy tamin'ny nitsenan'i Melkizedeka an'i Abrahama.

If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron?

Koa raha nisy fanatanterahana tamin'ny fisoronan'i Levy (fa tamin'izany no nahazoan'ny olona ny lalàna), ahoana no mbola ilana mpisorona hafa hiseho araka ny fanaon'i Melkizedeka ihany, izay tsy hotononina ho araka ny fanaon'i Arona?

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

Fa raha ovana ny fisoronana, dia tsy maintsy ovana koa ny lalàna.

For he of whom these things are spoken pertaineth to another tribe, of which no man gave attendance at the altar.

Fa Izay nolazaina amin'izany teny izany dia avy tamin'ny firenena hafa, izay tsy nisy olona manompo eo amin'ny alitara.

For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda; of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood.

Fa hita marimarina fa avy tamin'ny Joda no nisehoan'ny Tompontsika, ary izany firenena izany dia tsy nisy nolazain'i Mosesy akory ny amin'izay ho mpisorona.

And it is yet far more evident: for that after the similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest,

Ary hita marimarina kokoa indray izany, raha misy Mpisorona hafa miseho ka tahaka an'i Melkizedeka,

Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life.

izay natao tsy araka ny lalàn'izay didy momba ny nofo, fa araka ny herin'ny fiainana tsy manam-pahataperana.

For he testifieth, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.

Fa Izy dia nambara hoe: "Hianao no Mpisorona mandrakizay Araka ny fanaon'i Melkizedeka" (Sal.110.4).

For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going before for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof.

Fa misy fahafoanana ny didy nialoha noho ny halemeny sy ny tsi-fanasoavany

For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God.

(fa ny lalàna dia tsy nahatanteraka na inona na inona), ary misy kosa fampidirana ny fanantenana tsaratsara kokoa, izay anatonantsika an'Andriamanitra.

And inasmuch as not without an oath he was made priest:

Ary tahaka an'i Melkizedeka tsy natao mpisorona raha tsy tamin'ny fianianana

(For those priests were made without an oath; but this with an oath by him that said unto him, The Lord sware and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec:)

- fa ireny kosa dia natao mpisorona tsy tamin'ny fianianana, fa Ity tamin'ny fianianana nataon'ilay nilaza taminy hoe: "Efa nianiana Jehovah ka tsy hanenina: Hianao no Mpisorona mandrakizay" (Sal. 110. 4)

By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament.

- dia tahaka izany koa no nanaovana an'i Jesosy ho Mpiantoka ny fanekena tsara lavitra.

And they truly were many priests, because they were not suffered to continue by reason of death:

Fa natao maro ireny mpisorona ireny. satria tsy navelan'ny fahafatesana haharitra izy;

But this man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood.

fa Izy kosa dia manana fisoronana tsy dimbiasana, satria maharitra mandrakizay Izy;

Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.

koa amin'izany dia mahavonjy tokoa izay manatona an'Andriamanitra amin'ny alalany Izy, satria velona mandrakizay hanao fifonana ho azy.

For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;

Fa Mpisoronabe tahaka izao no miendrika ho antsika: dia Izay masina, tsy misy tsiny, tsy misy loto, voasaraka amin'ny mpanota ka natao avo noho ny lanitra,

Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this he did once, when he offered up himself.

Izay tsy mila hanatitra fanatitra isan'andro tahaka ny ataon'ireny mpisoronabe ireny, voalohany noho ny otan'ny tenany, dia vao noho ny an'ny olona kosa; fa izany dia nataony indray mandeha ihany, raha nanatitra ny tenany Izy.

For the law maketh men high priests which have infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was since the law, maketh the Son, who is consecrated for evermore.

Fa ny lalàna dia manendry olona izay manana fahalemena ho mpisoronabe; fa ny tenin'ny fianianana kosa, izay tato aorian'ny lalàna, dia manendry ny Zanaka, Izay notanterahina ho mandrakizay.
