| [1]For this Melchisedech kyng of Salem, priest of the most hye God, who met Abraham returnyng from the slaughter of the kynges, and blessed hym |
[1]This but Melkizedeq is king of Salim priest of Alaha Most High and he met Abraham when he returned from the massacre of kings and he blessed him |
| [2]To whom also Abraham gaue tythe of all thynges, first being called by interpretatio king of righteousnes, & after yt also, kyng of Salem, which is, kyng of peace |
[2]And to him distributed Abraham a tenth of everything that was with him is interpreted but his name king of righteousness and again king of Salim which is king of peace |
| [3]Without father, without mother, without kynne, hauyng neither beginnyng of dayes, neither ende of lyfe, but lykened vnto the sonne of God, and continueth a priest for euer |
[3]Without his father and without his mother being written in the genealogies neither beginning of his days nor end of his life but in the likeness of The Son of Alaha remains his priesthood for eternity |
| [4]Nowe consider howe great this [man] was, vnto whom also the patriarche Abraham gaue tythe of the spoyles |
[4]But how much? greater is this one than Abraham chief of the fathers to him he gave the tithe of the best |
| [5]And veryly they which are of the children of Leuie, which receaue the office of the priesthood, haue a commaundement to take tythe of the people accordyng to the lawe, that is, of their brethren, though they came out of ye loynes of Abraham |
[5]Those for of the sons of Levi who received have priesthood a commandment there was to them of The Written Law to take a tenth part from the people those of their brethren as also those from the loins of Abraham had come forth |
| [6]But he whose kynrede is not counted among them, receaued tythe of Abraham, and blessed hym that had the promises |
[6]This one but who not is written in their genealogies a tithe received from Abraham and blessed him him who received the promise |
| [7]And without all controuersie, the lesse is blessed of the better |
[7]Without dispute but he who is lesser is blessed of him who is greater than he |
| [8]And here men that dye, receaue tithes: but there he [receaueth them] of whom it is witnessed that he lyueth |
[8]And here the children of men who die receive tithes there but he testify about whom the scriptures that lives he |
| [9]And to say the trueth, Leuie also whiche receaueth tythes, payed tythes in Abraham |
[9]And as a man let us say by Abraham also Levi he who tithes receives was also He was caused to tithe |
| [10]For he was yet in the loynes of his father, when Melchisedech met Abraham |
[10]Yet for in the loins he was of his father when he met him Melkizedeq |
| [11]If therefore perfection was by the priesthood of ye Leuites (For vnder that priesthood the people receaued the law) what neded it furthermore that another priest shoulde rise after the order of Melchisedech, and not to be called after the order of Aaron |
[11]If is therefore perfection by the priesthood of Levi it was for by it was established the written Law to the people Why? needed was priest another to arise in the image of Melkizedeq does it say? but that in the image of Aaron he would be |
| [12]For yf the priesthood be translated, of necessitie also there is made a translation of the lawe |
[12]But just as there was a change in the priesthood in this way there was a change also in the law |
| [13]For he of whom these thynges are spoken, parteyneth vnto another tribe, of which no man stoode at the aulter |
[13]He for of whom were said about him these words from tribe is another is born that a man ever from it not ministered at the altar |
| [14]For it is euident that our Lord sprong out of Iuda, of which tribe spake Moyses nothyng concernyng priesthood |
[14]Revealed it is for that from Yehuda arose our Lord from a tribe that not spoke about which Moses anything concerning priesthood |
| [15]And it is yet a farre more euidet thing, yf after the similitude of Melchisedech there aryse another priest |
[15]And moreover again it is apparent by this that He said that in the image of Melkizedeq arises Priest another |
| [16]Which is not made after the lawe of the carnall commaundement, but after the power of the endlesse lyfe |
[16]He who not was by The Law of commandments carnal was but by the power of Life that not is destroyed |
| [17]For he testifieth that thou art a priest for euer, after the order of Melchisedech |
[17]He testified for about Him "You are The Priest for eternity in the image of Melkizedeq |
| [18]For there is truely a disanulling of the commaundement goyng before, for the weakenesse and vnprofitablenesse therof |
[18]A change but there was to the order first because of its impotence and benefit there not was in it |
| [19]For the lawe made nothyng perfect, but [was] the bryngyng in of a better hope, by the whiche we drawe nygh vnto God |
[19]Anything for not perfects The Written Law entered but in its place hope which is greater than it in which we approach to Alaha |
| [20]And in as much as that was not without an oth (For those priestes were made without an oth |
[20]And He confirmed it to us by an oath |
| [21]But this priest with an oth, by hym that saide vnto him: The Lord sware and wyll not repent, thou art a priest for euer, after the order of Melchisedech. |
[21]Those for without an oath were priests This One but with an oath as He said to Him by David "has sworn the Lord and not will lie that You are Priest to eternity in the image of Melkizedeq |
| [22]By so much was Iesus made a suertie of a better testament |
[22]This all is better covenant this is by which The Guarantor Ieshu |
| [23]And among them many were made priestes, because they were forbidden by death to endure |
[23]And those were priests many because dying they were and not allowed were to continue |
| [24]But this man, because he endureth euer, hath an vnchaungeable priesthood |
[24]This One but because eternal He is not passes away His priesthood |
| [25]Wherefore he is able also euer to saue them to the vttermost that come vnto God by hym, seyng he euer lyueth to make intercession for them |
[25]And He can give life for eternity to those who come near by Him to Alaha lives He for in every time and He offers prayers in our place |
| [26]For such an hye priest became vs, whiche [is] holy, harmelesse, vndefyled, seperate from sinners, and made hygher then heauens |
[26]That as This for Priest also right was for us pure without malice and without defilement Who is separate from sin and exalted higher than Heaven |
| [27]Whiche nedeth not dayly, as those hie priestes, to offer vp sacrifice, first for his owne sinnes, and then for the peoples: for that dyd he once, when he offered vp hym selfe |
[27]And there is not to Him compulsion every day as Chief The Priests first because of his sins to offer sacrifice and then for the people This One for did it one time in His Life which He offered |
| [28]For the lawe maketh men hye priestes which haue infirmitie: but the word of the oth which (was) after the lawe (maketh) the sonne, whiche is perfecte for euermore |
[28]The Law for men does weak establish priests the word but of the oath that was after The Law The Son perfect into eternity |
