Heb 7 | Ndebele | STEP | Ngoba uMelkizedeki lo, inkosi yeSalema , umpristi kaNkulunkulu oPhezukonke , owahlangabeza uAbrahama mhla ebuya ekubulaleni amakhosi, wasembusisa,

1 Ngoba uMelkizedeki ^a lo, inkosi yeSalema ^b, umpristi kaNkulunkulu oPhezukonke ^c, owahlangabeza uAbrahama mhla ebuya ekubulaleni amakhosi, wasembusisa, 2 uAbrahama laye wamabela okwetshumi kwakho konke ^d; kuqala uphendulelwa ngokuthi inkosi yokulunga, emva kwalokhu besekuthiwa futhi inkosi yeSalema ^e, okuyikuthi inkosi yokuthula ^f; 3 engelayise, engelanina, engelasendo, engelakuqala kwensuku kumbe ukuphela kwempilo, kodwa esenziwe wafanana leNdodana kaNkulunkulu ^g, uhlala engumpristi laphakade ^h.

4 Bonani-ke ukuthi mkhulu kangakanani lo, ngitsho ⁱ uAbrahama ukhokho ^j amnika okwetshumi kwezimpango. 5 Lalabo abavela emadodaneni kaLevi ^k abemukela ubupristi balomlayo wokwemukela okwetshumi ebantwini ngokomthetho, okuyikuthi kubafowabo, lanxa bevela ekhalweni lukaAbrahama ^l; 6 kodwa yena ongabalelwa osendweni lwabo, wemukela okwetshumi ^m kuAbrahama, wasembusisa ⁿ lowo owayelezithembiso ^o. 7 Njalo kungelakuphikwa ^p ngitsho ukuthi: Omncinyane ubusiswa ngomkhulu. 8 Lapha-ke abantu abafayo bemukela okwetshumi; kodwa lapho esemukela lowo okufakazwa ^q ngaye ukuthi uyaphila ^r. 9 Kungatshiwo-ke, uLevi laye owemukela okwetshumi wanikela okwetshumi ngoAbrahama; 10 ngoba wayesesekhalweni lukayise ^s, mhla uMelkizedeki ^t emhlangabeza.

11 Ngakho-ke uba kwakukhona ukuphelela ^u ngobupristi bukaLevi (ngoba isizwe sanikwa umlayo ^v ngaphansi kwabo), kwakusaswelekelani ukuthi kuvele omunye umpristi ngokohlobo lukaMelkizedeki ^w, lokungatshiwo ngokwendlela kaAroni? 12 Ngoba uba ubupristi buphendulwa, kuyadingeka ukuthi kube khona lokuphendulwa komlayo. 13 Ngoba lowo okukhulunywa ngaye lezizinto ungowesinye isizwe ^x, okungabanga khona kuso owanakekela ilathi. 14 Ngoba kusobala ukuthi iNkosi yethu ^{y
,} ^z yavela ^aa koJuda ^ab, isizwe uMozisi angakhulumanga lutho ngaso mayelana lobupristi. 15 Njalo kusesobala ngokwengezelelwe kakhulu, uba sekusima omunye umpristi njengokofuzo lukaMelkizedeki, 16 ongenziwanga ngokomthetho wesimiso senyama ^ac, kodwa ngokwamandla empilo engelakuphela; 17 ngoba ufakaza ^ad esithi: Wena ungumpristi ^ae kuze kube nininini ngokohlobo lukaMelkizedeki. 18 Ngoba ukubekwa eceleni komthetho wokuqala kwenziwa ngenxa ^{af
,} ^ag yobuthakathaka lokungasizi lutho kwawo; 19 ngoba umlayo ^{ah
,} ^ai kawuzanga wenze ulutho luphelele, kodwa uyisingeniso sethemba elingcono ^{aj
,} ^ak, esisondela ^al ngalo kuNkulunkulu.

20 Njalo okungangokuthi kenziwanga ngaphandle kwesifungo, 21 (ngoba bona baba ngabapristi ngaphandle kwesifungo ^{▼▼ kwesifungo: kumbe, kukufunga isifungo.}, kodwa yena ngesifungo, ngalowo owathi kuye: INkosi yafunga ^an njalo kayiyikuzisola ^ao yathi: Wena ungumpristi kuze kube nininini ngokohlobo lukaMelkizedeki;) 22 ngalokho uJesu waba yisibambiso ^ap sesivumelwano esingcono ^{aq
,} ^{ar
,} ^as. 23 Lalabo babebanengi ababa ngabapristi, ngoba bavinjelwa yikufa ukuthi bahlale njalo; 24 kodwa lo, ngenxa yokuthi uhlala kuze kube phakade ^at, ulobupristi obungadluliyo. 25 Ngenxa yalokho laye ulamandla okusindisa ngokupheleleyo ^{au
,} ^{▼▼ ngokupheleleyo: kumbe, ngokulaphakade.} abeza kuNkulunkulu ngaye ^{aw
,} ^ax, lokhu ephilela njalo ukubanxusela ^ay.

26 Ngoba umpristi omkhulu ^az onjalo usifanele, ongcwele ^ba, ongelacala, ^bb ongelasici, owehlukaniswe lezoni ^bc, lowenziwa waphakama kulamazulu ^bd; 27 ongadingi insuku ngensuku ^be, njengabapristi abakhulu, ukunikela imihlatshelo esenzela ezakhe izono kuqala ^bf, emva kwalokho ezabantu ^bg; ngoba lokho wakwenza ^bh kanye ^bi mhla ezinikela yena. 28 Ngoba umlayo uyamisa abantu babe ngabapristi abakhulu, abalobuthakathaka ^bj; kodwa ilizwi lesifungo ^bk elalandela umlayo lamisa iNdodana ^bl ephelelisiweyo ^bm kuze kube nininini.
