1 GLT لِأَنَّ مَلْكِي صَادَقَ هَذَا، مَلِكَ سَالِيمَ، كَاهِنَ ٱللهِ ٱلْعَلِيِّ، ٱلَّذِي ٱسْتَقْبَلَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ رَاجِعًا مِنْ كَسْرَةِ ٱلْمُلُوكِ وَبَارَكَهُ، BSB BSB: This Melchizedek was king of Salem and priest of God Most High. He met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him,
2 GLT ٱلَّذِي قَسَمَ لَهُ إِبْرَاهِيمُ عُشْرًا مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ. ٱلْمُتَرْجَمَ أَوَّلًا «مَلِكَ ٱلْبِرِّ»، ثُمَّ أَيْضًا «مَلِكَ سَالِيمَ» أَيْ «مَلِكَ ٱلسَّلَامِ» BSB BSB: and Abraham apportioned to him a tenth of everything. First, his name means “king of righteousness.” Then also, “king of Salem” means “king of peace.”
3 GLT بِلَا أَبٍ، بِلَا أُمٍّ، بِلَا نَسَبٍ. لَا بَدَاءَةَ أَيَّامٍ لَهُ وَلَا نِهَايَةَ حَيَاةٍ، بَلْ هُوَ مُشَبَّهٌ بِٱبْنِ ٱللهِ. هَذَا يَبْقَى كَاهِنًا إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ. BSB BSB: Without father or mother or genealogy, without beginning of days or end of life, like the Son of God, he remains a priest for all time.
4 GLT ثُمَّ ٱنْظُرُوا مَا أَعْظَمَ هَذَا ٱلَّذِي أَعْطَاهُ إِبْرَاهِيمُ رَئِيسُ ٱلْآبَاءِ، عُشْرًا أَيْضًا مِنْ رَأْسِ ٱلْغَنَائِمِ! BSB BSB: Consider how great Melchizedek was: Even the patriarch Abraham gave him a tenth of the plunder.
5 GLT وَأَمَّا ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ مِنْ بَنِي لَاوِي، ٱلَّذِينَ يَأْخُذُونَ ٱلْكَهَنُوتَ، فَلَهُمْ وَصِيَّةٌ أَنْ يُعَشِّرُوا ٱلشَّعْبَ بِمُقْتَضَى ٱلنَّامُوسِ، أَيْ إِخْوَتَهُمْ، مَعَ أَنَّهُمْ قَدْ خَرَجُوا مِنْ صُلْبِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ. BSB BSB: Now the law commands the sons of Levi who become priests to collect a tenth from the people—that is, from their brothers—though they too are descended from Abraham.
6 GLT وَلَكِنَّ ٱلَّذِي لَيْسَ لَهُ نَسَبٌ مِنْهُمْ قَدْ عَشَّرَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، وَبَارَكَ ٱلَّذِي لَهُ ٱلْمَوَاعِيدُ! BSB BSB: But Melchizedek, who did not trace his descent from Levi, collected a tenth from Abraham and blessed him who had the promises.
7 GLT وَبِدُونِ كُلِّ مُشَاجَرَةٍ: ٱلْأَصْغَرُ يُبَارَكُ مِنَ ٱلْأَكْبَرِ، BSB BSB: And indisputably, the lesser is blessed by the greater.
8 GLT وَهُنَا أُنَاسٌ مَائِتُونَ يَأْخُذُونَ عُشْرًا، وَأَمَّا هُنَاكَ فَٱلْمَشْهُودُ لَهُ بِأَنَّهُ حَيٌّ. BSB BSB: In the case of the Levites, mortal men collect the tenth; but in the case of Melchizedek, it is affirmed that he lives on.
9 GLT حَتَّى أَقُولُ كَلِمَةً: إِنَّ لَاوِي أَيْضًا ٱلْآخِذَ ٱلْأَعْشَارَ قَدْ عُشِّرَ بِإِبْرَاهِيمَ. BSB BSB: And so to speak, Levi, who collects the tenth, paid the tenth through Abraham.
10 GLT لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ بَعْدُ فِي صُلْبِ أَبِيهِ حِينَ ٱسْتَقْبَلَهُ مَلْكِي صَادَقَ. BSB BSB: For when Melchizedek met Abraham, Levi was still in the loin of his ancestor.
11 GLT فَلَوْ كَانَ بِٱلْكَهَنُوتِ ٱللَّاوِيِّ كَمَالٌ— إِذِ ٱلشَّعْبُ أَخَذَ ٱلنَّامُوسَ عَلَيْهِ— مَاذَا كَانَتِ ٱلْحَاجَةُ بَعْدُ إِلَى أَنْ يَقُومَ كَاهِنٌ آخَرُ عَلَى رُتْبَةِ مَلْكِي صَادَقَ؟ وَلَا يُقَالُ عَلَى رُتْبَةِ هَارُونَ. BSB BSB: Now if perfection could have been attained through the Levitical priesthood (for on this basis the people received the law), why was there still need for another priest to appear—one in the order of Melchizedek and not in the order of Aaron?
12 GLT لِأَنَّهُ إِنْ تَغَيَّرَ ٱلْكَهَنُوتُ، فَبِالضَّرُورَةِ يَصِيرُ تَغَيُّرٌ لِلنَّامُوسِ أَيْضًا. BSB BSB: For when the priesthood is changed, the law must be changed as well.
13 GLT لِأَنَّ ٱلَّذِي يُقَالُ عَنْهُ هَذَا كَانَ شَرِيكًا فِي سِبْطٍ آخَرَ لَمْ يُلَازِمْ أَحَدٌ مِنْهُ ٱلْمَذْبَحَ. BSB BSB: He of whom these things are said belonged to a different tribe, from which no one has ever served at the altar.
15 GLT وَذَلِكَ أَكْثَرُ وُضُوحًا أَيْضًا إِنْ كَانَ عَلَى شِبْهِ مَلْكِي صَادَقَ يَقُومُ كَاهِنٌ آخَرُ، BSB BSB: And this point is even more clear if another priest like Melchizedek appears,
16 GLT قَدْ صَارَ لَيْسَ بِحَسَبِ نَامُوسِ وَصِيَّةٍ جَسَدِيَّةٍ، بَلْ بِحَسَبِ قُوَّةِ حَيَاةٍ لَا تَزُولُ. BSB BSB: one who has become a priest not by a law of succession, but by the power of an indestructible life.
17 GLT لِأَنَّهُ يَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ: «كَاهِنٌ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ عَلَى رُتْبَةِ مَلْكِي صَادَقَ». BSB BSB: For it is testified: “You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.”
18 GLT فَإِنَّهُ يَصِيرُ إِبْطَالُ ٱلْوَصِيَّةِ ٱلسَّابِقَةِ مِنْ أَجْلِ ضَعْفِهَا وَعَدَمِ نَفْعِهَا، BSB BSB: So the former commandment is set aside because it was weak and useless
19 GLT إِذِ ٱلنَّامُوسُ لَمْ يُكَمِّلْ شَيْئًا. وَلَكِنْ يَصِيرُ إِدْخَالُ رَجَاءٍ أَفْضَلَ بِهِ نَقْتَرِبُ إِلَى ٱللهِ. BSB BSB: (for the law made nothing perfect), and a better hope is introduced, by which we draw near to God.
20 GLT وَعَلَى قَدْرِ مَا إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ بِدُونِ قَسَمٍ، BSB BSB: And none of this happened without an oath. For others became priests without an oath,
21 GLT لِأَنَّ أُولَئِكَ بِدُونِ قَسَمٍ قَدْ صَارُوا كَهَنَةً، وَأَمَّا هَذَا فَبِقَسَمٍ مِنَ ٱلْقَائِلِ لَهُ: «أَقْسَمَ ٱلرَّبُّ وَلَنْ يَنْدَمَ، أَنْتَ كَاهِنٌ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ عَلَى رُتْبَةِ مَلْكِي صَادَقَ». BSB BSB: but Jesus became a priest with an oath by the One who said to Him: “The Lord has sworn and will not change His mind: ‘You are a priest forever.’”
22 GLT عَلَى قَدْرِ ذَلِكَ، قَدْ صَارَ يَسُوعُ ضَامِنًا لِعَهْدٍ أَفْضَلَ. BSB BSB: Because of this oath, Jesus has become the guarantee of a better covenant.
23 GLT وَأُولَئِكَ قَدْ صَارُوا كَهَنَةً كَثِيرِينَ مِنْ أَجْلِ مَنْعِهِمْ بِٱلْمَوْتِ عَنِ ٱلْبَقَاءِ، BSB BSB: Now there have been many other priests, since death prevented them from continuing in office.
24 GLT وَأَمَّا هَذَا فَمِنْ أَجْلِ أَنَّهُ يَبْقَى إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ، لَهُ كَهَنُوتٌ لَا يَزُولُ. BSB BSB: But because Jesus lives forever, He has a permanent priesthood.
25 GLT فَمِنْ ثَمَّ يَقْدِرُ أَنْ يُخَلِّصَ أَيْضًا إِلَى ٱلتَّمَامِ ٱلَّذِينَ يَتَقَدَّمُونَ بِهِ إِلَى ٱللهِ، إِذْ هُوَ حَيٌّ فِي كُلِّ حِينٍ لِيَشْفَعَ فِيهِمْ. BSB BSB: Therefore He is able to save completely those who draw near to God through Him, since He always lives to intercede for them.
26 GLT لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ يَلِيقُ بِنَا رَئِيسُ كَهَنَةٍ مِثْلُ هَذَا، قُدُّوسٌ بِلَا شَرٍّ وَلَا دَنَسٍ، قَدِ ٱنْفَصَلَ عَنِ ٱلْخُطَاةِ وَصَارَ أَعْلَى مِنَ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ، BSB BSB: Such a high priest truly befits us—One who is holy, innocent, undefiled, set apart from sinners, and exalted above the heavens.
27 GLT ٱلَّذِي لَيْسَ لَهُ ٱضْطِرَارٌ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ مِثْلُ رُؤَسَاءِ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ أَنْ يُقَدِّمَ ذَبَائِحَ أَوَّلًا عَنْ خَطَايَا نَفْسِهِ ثُمَّ عَنْ خَطَايَا ٱلشَّعْبِ، لِأَنَّهُ فَعَلَ هَذَا مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً، إِذْ قَدَّمَ نَفْسَهُ. BSB BSB: Unlike the other high priests, He does not need to offer daily sacrifices, first for His own sins and then for the sins of the people; He sacrificed for sin once for all when He offered up Himself.
28 GLT فَإِنَّ ٱلنَّامُوسَ يُقِيمُ أُنَاسًا بِهِمْ ضَعْفٌ رُؤَسَاءَ كَهَنَةٍ. وَأَمَّا كَلِمَةُ ٱلْقَسَمِ ٱلَّتِي بَعْدَ ٱلنَّامُوسِ فَتُقِيمُ ٱبْنًا مُكَمَّلًا إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ. BSB BSB: For the law appoints as high priests men who are weak; but the oath, which came after the law, appointed the Son, who has been made perfect forever.
