UKristu ungumpristi omkhulu njengoMelkizedeki
7Ngoba uMelkizedekia lo, inkosi yeSalemab, umpristi kaNkulunkulu oPhezukonkec, owahlangabeza uAbrahama mhla ebuya ekubulaleni amakhosi, wasembusisa, 2 uAbrahama laye wamabela okwetshumi kwakho konked; kuqala uphendulelwa ngokuthi inkosi yokulunga, emva kwalokhu besekuthiwa futhi inkosi yeSalemae, okuyikuthi inkosi yokuthulaf; 3 engelayise, engelanina, engelasendo, engelakuqala kwensuku kumbe ukuphela kwempilo, kodwa esenziwe wafanana leNdodana kaNkulunkulug, uhlala engumpristi laphakadeh.
4 Bonani-ke ukuthi mkhulu kangakanani lo, ngitshoi uAbrahama ukhokhoj amnika okwetshumi kwezimpango. 5 Lalabo abavela emadodaneni kaLevik abemukela ubupristi balomlayo wokwemukela okwetshumi ebantwini ngokomthetho, okuyikuthi kubafowabo, lanxa bevela ekhalweni lukaAbrahamal; 6 kodwa yena ongabalelwa osendweni lwabo, wemukela okwetshumim kuAbrahama, wasembusisan lowo owayelezithembisoo. 7 Njalo kungelakuphikwap ngitsho ukuthi: Omncinyane ubusiswa ngomkhulu. 8 Lapha-ke abantu abafayo bemukela okwetshumi; kodwa lapho esemukela lowo okufakazwaq ngaye ukuthi uyaphilar. 9 Kungatshiwo-ke, uLevi laye owemukela okwetshumi wanikela okwetshumi ngoAbrahama; 10 ngoba wayesesekhalweni lukayises, mhla uMelkizedekit emhlangabeza.
11 Ngakho-ke uba kwakukhona ukuphelelau ngobupristi bukaLevi (ngoba isizwe sanikwa umlayov ngaphansi kwabo), kwakusaswelekelani ukuthi kuvele omunye umpristi ngokohlobo lukaMelkizedekiw, lokungatshiwo ngokwendlela kaAroni? 12 Ngoba uba ubupristi buphendulwa, kuyadingeka ukuthi kube khona lokuphendulwa komlayo. 13 Ngoba lowo okukhulunywa ngaye lezizinto ungowesinye isizwex, okungabanga khona kuso owanakekela ilathi. 14 Ngoba kusobala ukuthi iNkosi yethuyz yavelaa koJudab, isizwe uMozisi angakhulumanga lutho ngaso mayelana lobupristi. 15 Njalo kusesobala ngokwengezelelwe kakhulu, uba sekusima omunye umpristi njengokofuzo lukaMelkizedeki, 16 ongenziwanga ngokomthetho wesimiso senyamac, kodwa ngokwamandla empilo engelakuphela; 17 ngoba ufakazad esithi: Wena ungumpristie kuze kube nininini ngokohlobo lukaMelkizedeki. 18 Ngoba ukubekwa eceleni komthetho wokuqala kwenziwa ngenxafg yobuthakathaka lokungasizi lutho kwawo; 19 ngoba umlayohi kawuzanga wenze ulutho luphelele, kodwa uyisingeniso sethemba elingconojk, esisondelal ngalo kuNkulunkulu.
20 Njalo okungangokuthi kenziwanga ngaphandle kwesifungo, 21 (ngoba bona baba ngabapristi ngaphandle kwesifungo1, kodwa yena ngesifungo, ngalowo owathi kuye: INkosi yafungam njalo kayiyikuzisolan yathi: Wena ungumpristi kuze kube nininini ngokohlobo lukaMelkizedeki;) 22 ngalokho uJesu waba yisibambisoo sesivumelwano esingconopqr. 23 Lalabo babebanengi ababa ngabapristi, ngoba bavinjelwa yikufa ukuthi bahlale njalo; 24 kodwa lo, ngenxa yokuthi uhlala kuze kube phakades, ulobupristi obungadluliyo. 25 Ngenxa yalokho laye ulamandla okusindisa ngokupheleleyot2 abeza kuNkulunkulu ngayeuv, lokhu ephilela njalo ukubanxuselaw.
26 Ngoba umpristi omkhulux onjalo usifanele, ongcweley, ongelacala,z ongelasici, owehlukaniswe lezonia, lowenziwa waphakama kulamazulub; 27 ongadingi insuku ngensukuc, njengabapristi abakhulu, ukunikela imihlatshelo esenzela ezakhe izono kuqalad, emva kwalokho ezabantue; ngoba lokho wakwenzaf kanyeg mhla ezinikela yena. 28 Ngoba umlayo uyamisa abantu babe ngabapristi abakhulu, abalobuthakathakah; kodwa ilizwi lesifungoi elalandela umlayo lamisa iNdodanaj ephelelisiweyok kuze kube nininini.
