希伯来书 7
Chinese Standard Bible (Simplified)
麦基洗德的地位
7 原来这麦基洗德——
撒冷之王，至高神的祭司，
在亚伯拉罕杀败众王回来的时候，去迎接他、祝福他，
2 亚伯拉罕就从所得来的一切中，把十分之一献给[a]他。
“麦基洗德”翻译出来，首先是“公义之王”，
然后又是“撒冷之王”——这意思是“和平之王”。
3 他没有父亲，没有母亲，没有族谱，
没有年岁的开始，也没有生命的终结，
与神的儿子相似，持久做祭司，直到永远。
4 你们当想一想，这个人多么伟大！连先祖亚伯拉罕也从最好的战利品中把十分之一献给他。 5 虽然利未子孙中那些领受祭司职务的，从亚伯拉罕的后裔[b]中出来，他们还是奉命按照律法向子民，就是自己的同胞[c]，收取十分之一。 6 可是，不出于利未世系的那一位，却从亚伯拉罕收取了十分之一，并且祝福了那拥有各样应许的亚伯拉罕。 7 原来，位分小的从位分大的接受祝福，是毫无争议的事。 8 在这里，收取十分之一的人们固然都会死去；但在那里，他却被见证说是永生的。 9 甚至从某种意义上可以说：连那收取十分之一的利未，也藉着亚伯拉罕交纳了十分之一， 10 因为麦基洗德迎接亚伯拉罕的时候，利未还在他先祖的身体[d]里面。
完美的祭司
11 既然如此，如果藉着利未人的祭司职份能达到完全——子民本来在这职份下领受了律法——那么，为什么还需要照着麦基洗德的等级[e]，而不照着所谓“亚伦的等级”兴起另一位祭司呢？ 12 祭司职份被更换，律法也必须有所更换。 13 其实这些话所论到的那一位是属于别的支派，这支派中从来没有人在祭坛供过职； 14 就是说，我们的主明显是从犹大支派[f]兴起的，而对于这个支派，摩西从来没有提到有关祭司[g]的事。
15 如果照着麦基洗德的相同样式另有一位祭司兴起来，那么，这件事就更加明显了。 16 他成为祭司，不是照着有关肉体条例的法则，而是照着那不能毁灭的生命大能， 17 因为他被见证说：
18 原来，一方面，先前的条例因着本身的软弱和无用，就被废弃了， 19 因为律法没有使任何事物完全；另一方面，一个更美好的盼望却被带来了；藉着这个盼望，我们可以亲近神。
20 再者，所发生的事并不是没有神的[j]誓言保证。就是说，其他人成为祭司是没有誓言保证的， 21 可是耶稣[k]藉着对他说话的那一位是有誓言保证的：
22 既然如此，耶稣也就成了更美好之约的保证人。
23 那些以前成为祭司的固然人数众多，因为死亡阻止了他们继续留任， 24 但由于耶稣永远长存，就拥有永恒不变的祭司职份； 25 故此，他也能彻底[n]拯救那些藉着他来到神面前的人；因为他一直活着，为他们代求。
26 这样一位圣洁、没有邪恶、毫无玷污、与罪人分开、高过诸天的大祭司，对我们实在是合宜的。 27 他不需要像其他大祭司那样天天献祭：先为自己的罪孽，然后为子民；因为当他把自己献上的时候，就一次性地把这事完成了。 28 律法委任的大祭司都有软弱，但在律法以后，誓言保证的话语所委任的儿子，却永远完全。

Chinese New Version (Simplified)
至高 神的祭司麦基洗德
7 这麦基洗德就是撒冷王，又是至高 神的祭司。亚伯拉罕杀败众王回来的时候，麦基洗德迎接他，并且给他祝福。 2 亚伯拉罕也把自己得来的一切，拿出十分之一来给他。麦基洗德这名字翻译出来，头一个意思就是“公义的王”；其次是“撒冷王”，就是“平安的王”的意思。 3 他没有父亲，没有母亲，没有族谱，也没有生死的记录，而是与 神的儿子相似，永远作祭司。
麦基洗德的祭司职分
4 你们想一想这人是多么伟大啊！祖先亚伯拉罕也要从上等的掳物中，拿出十分之一来给了他。 5 那些领受祭司职分的利未子孙，奉命按照律法向人民，就是自己的弟兄，收取十分之一；虽然他们都是出于亚伯拉罕的。 6 可是那不与他们同谱系的麦基洗德，反而收纳了亚伯拉罕的十分之一，并且给这蒙受应许的人祝福。 7 向来都是位分大的给位分小的祝福，这是毫无疑问的。 8 在这里，收取十分之一的，都是必死的；但在那里，收纳十分之一的，却被证实是一位活着的。 9 并且可以这样说，连那收取十分之一的利未，也透过亚伯拉罕缴纳了十分之一。 10 因为麦基洗德迎接亚伯拉罕的时候，利未还在他祖先的身体里面。
耶稣按麦基洗德体系作祭司
11 这样看来，如果借着利未人的祭司制度能达到完全的地步（人民是在这制度下领受律法的），为甚么还需要照着麦基洗德的体系，另外兴起一位祭司，而不照着亚伦的体系呢？ 12 祭司的制度既然更改了，律法也必须更改。 13 因为这些话所指的那位，原是属于另外一个支派的，这支派向来没有人在祭坛前供职。 14 我们的主明明是从犹大支派出来的，关于这个支派，摩西并没有提及祭司的事。 15 如果有另一位像麦基洗德那样的祭司兴起来，那么，这里所说的就更明显了。 16 他成了祭司，不是按着律法上肉身的条例，却是按着不能毁坏的生命的大能。 17 因为有为他作证的说：
“你永远作祭司，
是照着麦基洗德的体系。”
18 一方面，从前的条例因为软弱，没有用处，就废弃了； 19 （因为律法从来没有使甚么得到完全，）另一方面，它却带来了更美的盼望，借着这盼望，我们就可以亲近 神。
20 此外，还有关于誓言的事。其他成为祭司的，并不是用誓言立的； 21 只有耶稣是用誓言立的，因为那立他的对他说：
“主已经起了誓，
决不改变，
你永远作祭司。”
22 耶稣既然是用誓言立的，就成了更美好的约的保证。 23 一方面，从前那些作祭司的，因为受死亡的限制，不能长久留任，所以人数众多。 24 另一方面，因为耶稣是永远长存的，就拥有他永不更改的祭司职位。 25 因此，那些靠着他进到 神面前的人，他都能拯救到底；因为他长远活着，为他们代求。
26 这样的一位大祭司，对我们本是合适的。他是圣洁、没有邪恶、没有玷污、从罪人中分别出来、高过众天的。 27 他不必像那些大祭司，天天先为自己的罪献祭，然后为人民的罪献祭；因为他献上了自己，就把这事一次而永远的成全了。 28 律法所立的大祭司，都是软弱的人；可是在律法以后，用誓言所立的儿子，却是成为完全直到永远的。

7 Ko tenei Merekihereke hoki, kingi o harema, tohunga o te Atua o te Runga Rawa, i tutaki nei ki a Aperahama i a ia e hoki ana i te patunga i nga kingi, i manaaki nei i a ia,
2 A hoatu ana e Aperahama ki a ia nga whakatekau o nga mea katoa, ko te whakamaoritanga o tona ingoa i te tuatahi ko te Kingi o te tika, i to muri hoki ko te Kingi o Harema, ara ko te Kingi o te rangimarie:
3 He mea matuakore, whaeakore, kahore nei ona whakapapa tupuna, kahore he timatanga o ona ra, kahore he mutunga o tona ora; he tangata kua whakaritea ki te Tama a te Atua, mau tonu ana ia hei tohunga.
4 Na, whakaaroa te nui o tenei tangata i hoatu nei ki a ia e te tupuna nui, e Aperahama, nga whakatekau o nga taonga parakete.
5 Ko nga tama hoki a Riwai, ara nga mea kua riro nei i a ratou te mahi tohunga, he ture kei a ratou kia tangohia ta te ture i whakarite ai, nga whakatekau a te iwi, he mea na o ratou teina i puta mai nei ano i te hope o Aperahama:
6 Ko tenei tangata ia, ehara nei i te mea no to ratou kawai, riro ana i a ia nga whakatekau a Aperahama, a manaakitia ana e ia te tangata i a ia nei nga kupu whakaari.
7 E kore rawa ia tenei e taea te whakateka, ara ko te mea iti e manaakitia ana e te mea nui.
8 I konei e riro ana nga whakatekau i nga tangata, he matemate nei; i reira ia, i tera e kiia nei kei te ora ia.
9 Me penei ano te ki, ko Riwai e tango whakatekau nei, hoatu ana e ia he whakatekau i ta Aperahama meatanga ra.
10 I roto tonu hoki ia i te hope o tona papa i te tutakitanga o Merekihereke ki a ia.
11 Na, ki te mea na ta te Riwai mahi tohunga i tino rite ai, a i na runga hoki i tera te rironga o te ture i te iwi, he aha atu te mea e whakatika ake ai tetahi atu tohunga i runga i to Merekihereke ritenga; te kiia ai i runga i to Arona ritenga?
12 Ka whakaputaia ketia nei hoki te mahi tohunga, ina kua puta ke ano hoki te ture.
13 Ko te tangata hoki mona enei korero, he hapu ke tona, kahore nei tetahi o ratou i whakatata ki te aata.
14 He mea takoto marama hoki tenei, i puta ake to tatou Ariki i roto i a Hura: hore rawa he kupu a Mohi mo te mahi tohunga a tera iwi.
15 A ka tino marama rawa ta matou i korero ai, ina whakatika ake tetahi atu tohunga i te ritenga o Merekihereke;
16 Ko tona whakatohungatanga nei hoki ehara i te mea no runga i te ture o nga tikanga o te kikokiko, engari no runga i te kaha o te ora e kore e mutu.
17 Kua whakaaturia mai nei hoki e ia, Hei tohunga koe ake ake i runga i te ritenga o Merekihereke.
18 Kua whakakahoretia hoki te ture i whakatakotoria i mua, no te mea kahore ona kaha, kahore ona hua,
19 Kahore hoki he mea i tino tika i te ture; kua mauria mai ano he mea e hira ake ai te tumanako, na reira nei tatou ka whakatata atu ki te Atua.
20 Na kihai nei i mahue te oati:
21 Ko era hoki kahore he oati i to ratou whakatohungatanga; he oati ia i to tenei, na tera i ki mai ra ki a ia, Kua oati te Ariki, a e kore e puta ke tona whakaaro, hei tohunga koe ake ake i runga i te ritenga o Merekihereke:
22 Koia i nui ke ai te pai o te kawenata ko Ihu nei tona kaiwhakamau.
23 He tokomaha hoki ratou i whakatohungatia, ta te mea kihai i tukua e te mate kia tu tonu;
24 Ko tenei ia, e mau tonu ana ake ake, e kore ano e puta ke tana mahi tohunga.
25 Na, e taea ano e ia te tino whakaora te hunga e na runga atu ana i a ia ki te Atua; e ora tonu ana hoki ia hei inoi mo ratou.
26 He pai rawa hoki tenei tu tohunga nui mo tatou, te tapu, te kinokore, te pokekore, he mea motu ke i te hunga hara, kua whakanekehia ake ano hoki ki runga ake i nga rangi;
27 Kahore ana mea e pera ai ia me nga tohunga nui, e whakaeke patunga tapu ai ia i ia ra, mo ona hara ake i te tuatahi, muri iho mo o te iwi; kotahi tonu hoki tana meatanga i tenei, i tana whakaekenga atu i a ia ake.
28 Ko nga tohunga nui hoki e whakaturia ana e te ture, he tangata e pehia ana e te ngoikore; ko ta te kupu ia o te oati, i muri nei i te ture, ko te Tama, kua oti nei te mea kia tino tika ake ake.
Hebrews 7
New Century Version
The Priest Melchizedek
7 Melchizedek[a] was the king of Salem and a priest for God Most High. He met Abraham when Abraham was coming back after defeating the kings. When they met, Melchizedek blessed Abraham, 2 and Abraham gave him a tenth of everything he had brought back from the battle. First, Melchizedek’s name means “king of goodness,” and he is king of Salem, which means “king of peace.” 3 No one knows who Melchizedek’s father or mother was,[b] where he came from, when he was born, or when he died. Melchizedek is like the Son of God; he continues being a priest forever.
4 You can see how great Melchizedek was. Abraham, the great father, gave him a tenth of everything that he won in battle. 5 Now the law says that those in the tribe of Levi who become priests must collect a tenth from the people—their own people—even though the priests and the people are from the family of Abraham. 6 Melchizedek was not from the tribe of Levi, but he collected a tenth from Abraham. And he blessed Abraham, the man who had God’s promises. 7 Now everyone knows that the more important person blesses the less important person. 8 Priests receive a tenth, even though they are only men who live and then die. But Melchizedek, who received a tenth from Abraham, continues living, as the Scripture says. 9 We might even say that Levi, who receives a tenth, also paid it when Abraham paid Melchizedek a tenth. 10 Levi was not yet born, but he was in the body of his ancestor when Melchizedek met Abraham.
11 The people were given the law[c] concerning the system of priests from the tribe of Levi, but they could not be made perfect through that system. So there was a need for another priest to come, a priest like Melchizedek, not Aaron. 12 And when a different kind of priest comes, the law must be changed, too. 13 We are saying these things about Christ, who belonged to a different tribe. No one from that tribe ever served as a priest at the altar. 14 It is clear that our Lord came from the tribe of Judah, and Moses said nothing about priests belonging to that tribe.
Jesus Is like Melchizedek
15 And this becomes even more clear when we see that another priest comes who is like Melchizedek.[d] 16 He was not made a priest by human rules and laws but through the power of his life, which continues forever. 17 It is said about him,
“You are a priest forever,
a priest like Melchizedek.” Psalm 110:4
18 The old rule is now set aside, because it was weak and useless. 19 The law of Moses could not make anything perfect. But now a better hope has been given to us, and with this hope we can come near to God. 20 It is important that God did this with an oath. Others became priests without an oath, 21 but Christ became a priest with God’s oath. God said:
“The Lord has made a promise
and will not change his mind.
‘You are a priest forever.’” Psalm 110:4
22 This means that Jesus is the guarantee of a better agreement[e] from God to his people.
23 When one of the other priests died, he could not continue being a priest. So there were many priests. 24 But because Jesus lives forever, he will never stop serving as priest. 25 So he is able always to save those who come to God through him because he always lives, asking God to help them.
26 Jesus is the kind of high priest we need. He is holy, sinless, pure, not influenced by sinners, and he is raised above the heavens. 27 He is not like the other priests who had to offer sacrifices every day, first for their own sins, and then for the sins of the people. Christ offered his sacrifice only once and for all time when he offered himself. 28 The law chooses high priests who are people with weaknesses, but the word of God’s oath came later than the law. It made God’s Son to be the high priest, and that Son has been made perfect forever.
