1Hierdie Melgisedek immers, koning van Salem, priester van God, die Allerhoogste, wat Abraham tegemoetgekom het toe hy terugkeer van die verslaan van die konings, en hom geseën het,Οὗτος γὰρ ὁ Μελχισέδεκ, βασιλεὺς Σαλήμ, ἱερεὺς τοῦ θεοῦ τοῦ ὑψίστου, ⸀ὁ συναντήσας Ἀβραὰμ ὑποστρέφοντι ἀπὸ τῆς κοπῆς τῶν βασιλέων καὶ εὐλογήσας αὐτόν,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, 2aan wie Abraham ook 'n tiende van alles toegedeel het; wat eerstens vertaal word as koning van geregtigheid, en daarna ook koning van Salem, dit is koning van vrede,ᾧ καὶ δεκάτην ἀπὸ πάντων ἐμέρισεν Ἀβραάμ, πρῶτον μὲν ἑρμηνευόμενος βασιλεὺς δικαιοσύνης ἔπειτα δὲ καὶ βασιλεὺς Σαλήμ, ὅ ἐστιν βασιλεὺς εἰρήνης,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.” 3sonder vader, sonder moeder, sonder geslagsregister, met geen begin van dae of einde van lewe nie, maar gelykgemaak aan die Seun van God, bly hy priester vir altyd.ἀπάτωρ, ἀμήτωρ, ἀγενεαλόγητος, μήτε ἀρχὴν ἡμερῶν μήτε ζωῆς τέλος ἔχων, ἀφωμοιωμένος δὲ τῷ υἱῷ τοῦ θεοῦ, μένει ἱερεὺς εἰς τὸ διηνεκές.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.

4Kyk nou hoe groot hierdie man is, aan wie Abraham, die aartsvader, 'n tiende uit die beste van die buit gegee het.Θεωρεῖτε δὲ πηλίκος οὗτος ⸀ᾧ δεκάτην Ἀβραὰμ ἔδωκεν ἐκ τῶν ἀκροθινίων ὁ πατριάρχης.Consider how great Melchizedek was: Even the patriarch Abraham gave him a tenth of the plunder. 5En wel, diegene van die seuns van Levi wat die priesteramp ontvang, het 'n gebod om volgens die wet die tiende van die volk te neem, dit is van hulle broers, hoewel hulle uit die lendene van Abraham voortgekom het.καὶ οἱ μὲν ἐκ τῶν υἱῶν Λευὶ τὴν ἱερατείαν λαμβάνοντες ἐντολὴν ἔχουσιν ἀποδεκατοῦν τὸν λαὸν κατὰ τὸν νόμον, τοῦτʼ ἔστιν τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς αὐτῶν, καίπερ ἐξεληλυθότας ἐκ τῆς ὀσφύος Ἀβραάμ·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. 6maar hy wie se afkoms nie van hulle gereken word nie, het van Abraham tiendes geneem en hom wat die beloftes het, geseën.ὁ δὲ μὴ γενεαλογούμενος ἐξ αὐτῶν δεδεκάτωκεν ⸀Ἀβραάμ, καὶ τὸν ἔχοντα τὰς ἐπαγγελίας εὐλόγηκεν.But Melchizedek, who did not trace his descent from Levi, collected a tenth from Abraham and blessed him who had the promises. 7En sonder enige teenspraak word die mindere deur die meerdere geseën.χωρὶς δὲ πάσης ἀντιλογίας τὸ ἔλαττον ὑπὸ τοῦ κρείττονος εὐλογεῖται.And indisputably, the lesser is blessed by the greater. 8En hier neem mense wat sterf tiendes, maar daar een van wie getuig word dat hy lewe.καὶ ὧδε μὲν δεκάτας ἀποθνῄσκοντες ἄνθρωποι λαμβάνουσιν, ἐκεῖ δὲ μαρτυρούμενος ὅτι ζῇ.In the case of the Levites, mortal men collect the tenth; but in the case of Melchizedek, it is affirmed that he lives on. 9En, om so te sê, deur Abraham het ook Levi, wat tiendes ontvang, tiendes betaal;καὶ ὡς ἔπος εἰπεῖν, διʼ Ἀβραὰμ καὶ Λευὶ ὁ δεκάτας λαμβάνων δεδεκάτωται,And so to speak, Levi, who collects the tenth, paid the tenth through Abraham. 10want hy was nog in die lendene van sy vader toe Melgisedek hom tegemoetgegaan het.ἔτι γὰρ ἐν τῇ ὀσφύϊ τοῦ πατρὸς ἦν ὅτε συνήντησεν αὐτῷ ⸀Μελχισέδεκ.For when Melchizedek met Abraham, Levi was still in the loin of his ancestor.

11As daar dan volmaaktheid deur die Levitiese priesterskap was (want op grond daarvan het die volk die wet ontvang), watter behoefte was daar nog dat 'n ander priester volgens die orde van Melgisedek sou opstaan en nie volgens die orde van Aäron genoem word nie?Εἰ μὲν οὖν τελείωσις διὰ τῆς Λευιτικῆς ἱερωσύνης ἦν, ὁ λαὸς γὰρ ἐπʼ ⸀αὐτῆς ⸀νενομοθέτηται, τίς ἔτι χρεία κατὰ τὴν τάξιν Μελχισέδεκ ἕτερον ἀνίστασθαι ἱερέα καὶ οὐ κατὰ τὴν τάξιν Ἀαρὼν λέγεσθαι;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? 12Want as die priesterskap verander word, vind daar noodwendig ook 'n verandering van die wet plaas.μετατιθεμένης γὰρ τῆς ἱερωσύνης ἐξ ἀνάγκης καὶ νόμου μετάθεσις γίνεται.For when the priesthood is changed, the law must be changed as well. 13Want Hy van wie hierdie dinge gesê word, het aan 'n ander stam behoort, waaruit niemand by die altaar gedien het nie;ἐφʼ ὃν γὰρ λέγεται ταῦτα φυλῆς ἑτέρας μετέσχηκεν, ἀφʼ ἧς οὐδεὶς προσέσχηκεν τῷ θυσιαστηρίῳ·He of whom these things are said belonged to a different tribe, from which no one has ever served at the altar. 14Dit is immers duidelik dat ons Here uit Juda opgekom het, ten opsigte van watter stam Moses niks oor priesters gesê het nie.πρόδηλον γὰρ ὅτι ἐξ Ἰούδα ἀνατέταλκεν ὁ κύριος ἡμῶν, εἰς ἣν φυλὴν ⸂περὶ ἱερέων οὐδὲν⸃ Μωϋσῆς ἐλάλησεν.For it is clear that our Lord descended from Judah, a tribe as to which Moses said nothing about priests.

15En dit is nog veel duideliker as daar na die gelykenis van Melgisedek 'n ander priester opstaan,Καὶ περισσότερον ἔτι κατάδηλόν ἐστιν, εἰ κατὰ τὴν ὁμοιότητα Μελχισέδεκ ἀνίσταται ἱερεὺς ἕτερος,And this point is even more clear if another priest like Melchizedek appears, 16wat dit nie volgens 'n wet van 'n vleeslike gebod geword het nie, maar volgens die krag van 'n onvernietigbare lewe;ὃς οὐ κατὰ νόμον ἐντολῆς ⸀σαρκίνης γέγονεν ἀλλὰ κατὰ δύναμιν ζωῆς ἀκαταλύτου,one who has become a priest not by a law of succession, but by the power of an indestructible life. 17Want daar word getuig: “Jy is priester tot in ewigheid volgens die orde van Melgisedek.”

Aanhaling uit Psalm 110:4.

⸀μαρτυρεῖται γὰρ ὅτι Σὺ ἱερεὺς εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα κατὰ τὴν τάξιν Μελχισέδεκ.For it is testified: “You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.” 18Want daar vind enersyds 'n afskaffing van die vorige gebod plaas vanweë die swakheid en nutteloosheid daarvan,ἀθέτησις μὲν γὰρ γίνεται προαγούσης ἐντολῆς διὰ τὸ αὐτῆς ἀσθενὲς καὶ ἀνωφελές,So the former commandment is set aside because it was weak and useless 19want die wet het niks volmaak gemaak nie, en andersyds die invoering van 'n beter hoop, waardeur ons tot God nader.οὐδὲν γὰρ ἐτελείωσεν ὁ νόμος, ἐπεισαγωγὴ δὲ κρείττονος ἐλπίδος, διʼ ἧς ἐγγίζομεν τῷ θεῷ.(for the law made nothing perfect), and a better hope is introduced, by which we draw near to God.

20En in soverre dit nie sonder eedswering was nie (want hulle het sonder eedswering priesters geword,Καὶ καθʼ ὅσον οὐ χωρὶς ὁρκωμοσίας (οἱ μὲν γὰρ χωρὶς ὁρκωμοσίας εἰσὶν ἱερεῖς γεγονότες,And none of this happened without an oath. For others became priests without an oath, 21maar Hy met 'n eed deur Hom wat tot Hom gesê het: “Die Here het gesweer en sal nie berou hê nie: Jy is priester tot in ewigheid”,

Sommige manuskripte lees: Sommige manuskripte voeg by: volgens die orde van Melgisedek.

Aanhaling uit Psalm 110:4.

ὁ δὲ μετὰ ὁρκωμοσίας διὰ τοῦ λέγοντος πρὸς αὐτόν· Ὤμοσεν κύριος, καὶ οὐ μεταμεληθήσεται, Σὺ ἱερεὺς εἰς τὸν ⸀αἰῶνα),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.’” 22in soverre het Jesus die borg van 'n beter verbond geword.κατὰ ⸀τοσοῦτο ⸀κρείττονος διαθήκης γέγονεν ἔγγυος Ἰησοῦς.Because of this oath, Jesus has become the guarantee of a better covenant.

23En hulle was baie wat priesters geword het, omdat hulle deur die dood verhinder is om aan te bly;Καὶ οἱ μὲν πλείονές εἰσιν γεγονότες ἱερεῖς διὰ τὸ θανάτῳ κωλύεσθαι παραμένειν·Now there have been many other priests, since death prevented them from continuing in office. 24Maar Hy, omdat Hy tot in ewigheid bly, het die priesterskap wat nie oorgaan nie.ὁ δὲ διὰ τὸ μένειν αὐτὸν εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα ἀπαράβατον ἔχει τὴν ἱερωσύνην·But because Jesus lives forever, He has a permanent priesthood. 25Daarom kan Hy ook volkome red dié wat deur Hom na God toe kom, aangesien Hy altyd lewe om vir hulle in te tree.

Of: vir altyd red.

ὅθεν καὶ σῴζειν εἰς τὸ παντελὲς δύναται τοὺς προσερχομένους διʼ αὐτοῦ τῷ θεῷ, πάντοτε ζῶν εἰς τὸ ἐντυγχάνειν ὑπὲρ αὐτῶν.Therefore He is able to save completely those who draw near to God through Him, since He always lives to intercede for them.

26Want so 'n hoëpriester het ons ook gepas: heilig, onskuldig, onbesmet, afgesonder van die sondaars en hoër as die hemele geword;Τοιοῦτος γὰρ ἡμῖν ⸀καὶ ἔπρεπεν ἀρχιερεύς, ὅσιος, ἄκακος, ἀμίαντος, κεχωρισμένος ἀπὸ τῶν ἁμαρτωλῶν, καὶ ὑψηλότερος τῶν οὐρανῶν γενόμενος·Such a high priest truly befits us—One who is holy, innocent, undefiled, set apart from sinners, and exalted above the heavens. 27wat nie, soos die hoëpriesters, daagliks die noodsaaklikheid het om eers offers vir sy eie sondes op te dra en dan vir dié van die volk nie, want dit het Hy een maal vir altyd gedoen toe Hy Homself as offer opgedra het.ὃς οὐκ ἔχει καθʼ ἡμέραν ἀνάγκην, ὥσπερ οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς, πρότερον ὑπὲρ τῶν ἰδίων ἁμαρτιῶν θυσίας ἀναφέρειν, ἔπειτα τῶν τοῦ λαοῦ (τοῦτο γὰρ ἐποίησεν ἐφάπαξ ἑαυτὸν ἀνενέγκας)·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. 28Want die wet stel mense as hoëpriesters aan wat swakheid het, maar die woord van die eed wat ná die wet gekom het, stel 'n Seun aan wat tot in ewigheid volmaak gemaak is.ὁ νόμος γὰρ ἀνθρώπους καθίστησιν ἀρχιερεῖς ἔχοντας ἀσθένειαν, ὁ λόγος δὲ τῆς ὁρκωμοσίας τῆς μετὰ τὸν νόμον υἱόν, εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τετελειωμένον.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.
