7:1
|
这麦基洗德就是撒冷王，又是至高神的祭司，本是长远为祭司的。他当亚伯拉罕杀败诸王回来的时候，就迎接他，给他祝福。
|
|
|
For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of God Most High, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him,
|
|
7:2
|
亚伯拉罕也将自己所得来的，取十分之一给他。他头一个名翻出来就是仁义王，他又名撒冷王，就是平安王的意思。
|
|
|
to whom also Abraham divided a tenth part of all (being first, by interpretation, King of righteousness, and then also King of Salem, which is King of peace;
|
|
7:3
|
他无父，无母，无族谱，无生之始，无命之终，乃是与神的儿子相似。
|
|
|
without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made like unto the Son of God), abideth a priest continually.
|
|
7:4
|
你们想一想，先祖亚伯拉罕将自己所掳来上等之物取十分之一给他，这人是何等尊贵呢！
|
|
|
Now consider how great this man was, unto whom Abraham, the patriarch, gave a tenth out of the chief spoils.
|
|
7:5
|
那得祭司职任的利未子孙，领命照例向百姓取十分之一，这百姓是自己的弟兄，虽是从亚伯拉罕身（原文作腰）中生的，还是照例取十分之一；
|
|
|
And they indeed of the sons of Levi that receive the priest`s office have commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is, of their brethren, though these have come out of the loins of Abraham:
|
|
7:6
|
独有麦基洗德，不与他们同谱，倒收纳亚伯拉罕的十分之一，为那蒙应许的亚伯拉罕祝福。
|
|
|
but he whose genealogy is not counted from them hath taken tithes of Abraham, and hath blessed him that hath the promises.
|
|
7:7
|
从来位分大的给位分小的祝福，这是驳不倒的理。
|
|
|
But without any dispute the less is blessed of the better.
|
|
7:8
|
在这里收十分之一的都是必死的人；但在那里收十分之一的，有为他作见证的说，他是活的；
|
|
|
And here men that die receive tithes; but there one, of whom it is witnessed that he liveth.
|
|
7:9
|
并且可说那受十分之一的利未，也是借着亚伯拉罕纳了十分之一。
|
|
|
And, so to say, through Abraham even Levi, who receiveth tithes, hath paid tithes;
|
|
7:10
|
因为麦基洗德迎接亚伯拉罕的时候，利未已经在他先祖的身（原文作腰）中。
|
|
|
for he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchizedek met him.
|
|
7:11
|
从前百姓在利未人祭司职任以下受律法，倘若藉这职任能得完全，又何用另外兴起一位祭司，照麦基洗德的等次，不照亚伦的等次呢？
|
|
|
Now if there was perfection through the Levitical priesthood (for under it hath the people received the law), what further need [was there] that another priest should arise after the order of Melchizedek, and not be reckoned after the order of Aaron?
|
|
7:12
|
祭司的职任既已更改，律法也必须更改。
|
|
|
For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.
|
|
7:13
|
因为这话所指的人本属别的支派，那支派里从来没有一人伺候祭坛。
|
|
|
For he of whom these things are said belongeth to another tribe, from which no man hath given attendance at the altar.
|
|
7:14
|
我们的主分明是从犹大出来的；但这支派，摩西并没有提到祭司。
|
|
|
For it is evident that our Lord hath sprung out of Judah; as to which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priests.
|
|
7:15
|
倘若照麦基洗德的样式，另外兴起一位祭司来，我的话更是显而易见的了。
|
|
|
And [what we say] is yet more abundantly evident, if after the likeness of Melchizedek there ariseth another priest,
|
|
7:16
|
他成为祭司，并不是照属肉体的条例，乃是照无穷（原文作不能毁坏）之生命的大能。
|
|
|
who hath been made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life:
|
|
7:17
|
因为有给他作见证的说：「你是照着麦基洗德的等次永远为祭司。」
|
|
|
for it is witnessed [of him,] Thou art a priest for ever After the order of Melchizedek.
|
|
7:18
|
先前的条例，因软弱无益，所以废掉了，
|
|
|
For there is a disannulling of a foregoing commandment because of its weakness and unprofitableness
|
|
7:19
|
（律法原来一无所成）就引进了更美的指望；靠这指望，我们便可以进到神面前。
|
|
|
(for the law made nothing perfect), and a bringing in thereupon of a better hope, through which we draw nigh unto God.
|
|
7:20
|
再者，耶稣为祭司，并不是不起誓立的。
|
|
|
And inasmuch as [it is] not without the taking of an oath
|
|
7:21
|
至于那些祭司，原不是起誓立的，只有耶稣是起誓立的；因为那立他的对他说：「主起了誓，决不后悔，你是永远为祭司。」
|
|
|
(for they indeed have been made priests without an oath; but he with an oath by him that saith of him, The Lord sware and will not repent himself, Thou art a priest for ever);
|
|
7:22
|
既是起誓立的，耶稣就作了更美之约的中保。
|
|
|
by so much also hath Jesus become the surety of a better covenant.
|
|
7:23
|
那些成为祭司的，数目本来多，是因为有死阻隔，不能长久。
|
|
|
And they indeed have been made priests many in number, because that by death they are hindered from continuing:
|
|
7:24
|
这位既是永远常存的，他祭司的职任就长久不更换。
|
|
|
but he, because he abideth for ever, hath his priesthood unchangeable.
|
|
7:25
|
凡靠着他进到神面前的人，他都能拯救到底；因为他是长远活着，替他们祈求。
|
|
|
Wherefore also he is able to save to the uttermost them that draw near unto God through him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.
|
|
7:26
|
像这样圣洁、无邪恶、无玷污、远离罪人、高过诸天的大祭司，原是与我们合宜的。
|
|
|
For such a high priest became us, holy, guileless, undefiled, separated from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;
|
|
7:27
|
他不像那些大祭司，每日必须先为自己的罪，后为百姓的罪献祭；因为他只一次将自己献上，就把这事成全了。
|
|
|
who needeth not daily, like those high priests, to offer up sacrifices, first for his own sins, and then for the [sins] of the people: for this he did once for all, when he offered up himself.
|
|
7:28
|
律法本是立软弱的人为大祭司；但在律法以后起誓的话，是立儿子为大祭司，乃是成全到永远的。
|
|
|
For the law appointeth men high priests, having infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was after the law, [appointeth] a Son, perfected for evermore.
