Hebrews

Chapter 7

Phonetic (Greek): Ohytos gar ho Melchisedek, basileys Salem, hiereys toy theoy toy hypsistou, ⸀ho synantesas Ἀbraam hypostrephonti apo tes kopes ton basileon kai eylogesas ayton,

Edified Edition (EDE)For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him;

Οὗτος γὰρ ὁ Μελχισέδεκ, βασιλεὺς Σαλήμ, ἱερεὺς τοῦ θεοῦ τοῦ ὑψίστου, ⸀ὁ συναντήσας Ἀβραὰμ ὑποστρέφοντι ἀπὸ τῆς κοπῆς τῶν βασιλέων καὶ εὐλογήσας αὐτόν,

Phonetic (Greek): ho kai dekaten apo panton emerisen Ἀbraam, proton men hermeneuomenos basileys dikaiosynes epeita de kai basileys Salem, ho estin basileys eirenes,

Edified Edition (EDE)To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace;

ᾧ καὶ δεκάτην ἀπὸ πάντων ἐμέρισεν Ἀβραάμ, πρῶτον μὲν ἑρμηνευόμενος βασιλεὺς δικαιοσύνης ἔπειτα δὲ καὶ βασιλεὺς Σαλήμ, ὅ ἐστιν βασιλεὺς εἰρήνης,

Phonetic (Greek): apator, ametor, agenealogetos, mete archen hemeron mete zoes telos echon, aphomoiomenos de tῷ yhiῷ toy theoy, menei hiereys eis to dienekes.

Edified Edition (EDE)Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like the Son of God; remains a priest continually.

ἀπάτωρ, ἀμήτωρ, ἀγενεαλόγητος, μήτε ἀρχὴν ἡμερῶν μήτε ζωῆς τέλος ἔχων, ἀφωμοιωμένος δὲ τῷ υἱῷ τοῦ θεοῦ, μένει ἱερεὺς εἰς τὸ διηνεκές.

Phonetic (Greek): Theoreite de pelikos ohytos ⸀ho dekaten Ἀbraam edoken ek ton akrothinion ho patriarches.

Edified Edition (EDE)Now consider how great this man was, to whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils.

Θεωρεῖτε δὲ πηλίκος οὗτος ⸀ᾧ δεκάτην Ἀβραὰμ ἔδωκεν ἐκ τῶν ἀκροθινίων ὁ πατριάρχης.

Phonetic (Greek): kai ohi men ek ton yhion Leui ten hierateian lambanontes entolen echousin apodekatoyn ton laon kata ton nomon, toytʼ estin toys adelphoys ayton, kaiper exelelythotas ek tes osphyos Ἀbraam·

Edified Edition (EDE)And truly those who are of the sons of Levi, who receive the office of the priesthood, have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is, of their brothers, though they come out of the loins of Abraham:

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·

Phonetic (Greek): ho de me genealogoymenos ex ayton dedekatoken ⸀Ἀbraam, kai ton echonta tas epangelias eylogeken.

Edified Edition (EDE)But he whose descent is not counted from them received tithes of Abraham and blessed him who had the promises.

ὁ δὲ μὴ γενεαλογούμενος ἐξ αὐτῶν δεδεκάτωκεν ⸀Ἀβραάμ, καὶ τὸν ἔχοντα τὰς ἐπαγγελίας εὐλόγηκεν.

Phonetic (Greek): choris de pases antilogias to elatton hypo toy kreittonos eylogeitai.

Edified Edition (EDE)And without all contradiction the less is blessed by the better.

χωρὶς δὲ πάσης ἀντιλογίας τὸ ἔλαττον ὑπὸ τοῦ κρείττονος εὐλογεῖται.

Phonetic (Greek): kai hode men dekatas apothnῄskontes anthropoi lambanousin, ekei de martyroymenos hoti zῇ.

Edified Edition (EDE)And here people that die receive tithes; but there he receives them, of whom it is witnessed that he lives.

καὶ ὧδε μὲν δεκάτας ἀποθνῄσκοντες ἄνθρωποι λαμβάνουσιν, ἐκεῖ δὲ μαρτυρούμενος ὅτι ζῇ.

Phonetic (Greek): kai hos epos eipein, diʼ Ἀbraam kai Leui ho dekatas lambanon dedekatotai,

Edified Edition (EDE)And as I may so say, Levi also, who receives tithes, paid tithes in Abraham.

καὶ ὡς ἔπος εἰπεῖν, διʼ Ἀβραὰμ καὶ Λευὶ ὁ δεκάτας λαμβάνων δεδεκάτωται,

Phonetic (Greek): eti gar en tῇ osphyi toy patros en hote synentesen aytῷ ⸀Melchisedek.

Edified Edition (EDE)For he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchizedek met him.

ἔτι γὰρ ἐν τῇ ὀσφύϊ τοῦ πατρὸς ἦν ὅτε συνήντησεν αὐτῷ ⸀Μελχισέδεκ.

Phonetic (Greek): Ei men oyn teleiosis dia tes Leyitikes hierosynes en, ho laos gar epʼ ⸀aytes ⸀nenomothetetai, tis eti chreia kata ten taxin Melchisedek heteron anistasthai hierea kai oy kata ten taxin Ἀaron legesthai;

Edified Edition (EDE)If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchizedek, and not be called after the order of Aaron?

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;

Phonetic (Greek): metatithemenes gar tes hierosynes ex anankes kai nomou metathesis ginetai.

Edified Edition (EDE)For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.

μετατιθεμένης γὰρ τῆς ἱερωσύνης ἐξ ἀνάγκης καὶ νόμου μετάθεσις γίνεται.

Phonetic (Greek): ephʼ hon gar legetai tayta phyles heteras metescheken, aphʼ hes oydeis prosescheken tῷ thysiasteriῳ·

Edified Edition (EDE)For He of whom these things are spoken pertains to another tribe, of which no one gave attendance at the altar.

ἐφʼ ὃν γὰρ λέγεται ταῦτα φυλῆς ἑτέρας μετέσχηκεν, ἀφʼ ἧς οὐδεὶς προσέσχηκεν τῷ θυσιαστηρίῳ·

Phonetic (Greek): prodelon gar hoti ex Ἰoyda anatetalken ho kyrios hemon, eis hen phylen ⸂peri hiereon oyden⸃ Moyses elalesen.

Edified Edition (EDE)For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Judah; of which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priesthood.

πρόδηλον γὰρ ὅτι ἐξ Ἰούδα ἀνατέταλκεν ὁ κύριος ἡμῶν, εἰς ἣν φυλὴν ⸂περὶ ἱερέων οὐδὲν⸃ Μωϋσῆς ἐλάλησεν.

Phonetic (Greek): Kai perissoteron eti katadelon estin, ei kata ten homoioteta Melchisedek anistatai hiereys heteros,

Edified Edition (EDE)And it is yet far more evident: for that after the similitude of Melchizedek there arises another priest,

Καὶ περισσότερον ἔτι κατάδηλόν ἐστιν, εἰ κατὰ τὴν ὁμοιότητα Μελχισέδεκ ἀνίσταται ἱερεὺς ἕτερος,

Phonetic (Greek): hos oy kata nomon entoles ⸀sarkines gegonen alla kata dynamin zoes akatalytou,

Edified Edition (EDE)Who is made, not after the law of a fleshly commandment, but after the power of an endless life.

ὃς οὐ κατὰ νόμον ἐντολῆς ⸀σαρκίνης γέγονεν ἀλλὰ κατὰ δύναμιν ζωῆς ἀκαταλύτου,

Phonetic (Greek): ⸀martyreitai gar hoti Sy hiereys eis ton aiona kata ten taxin Melchisedek.

Edified Edition (EDE)For He testifies, "You are a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek."

⸀μαρτυρεῖται γὰρ ὅτι Σὺ ἱερεὺς εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα κατὰ τὴν τάξιν Μελχισέδεκ.

Phonetic (Greek): athetesis men gar ginetai proagoyses entoles dia to aytes asthenes kai anopheles,

Edified Edition (EDE)For there is truly a setting aside of the commandment going before for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof.

ἀθέτησις μὲν γὰρ γίνεται προαγούσης ἐντολῆς διὰ τὸ αὐτῆς ἀσθενὲς καὶ ἀνωφελές,

Phonetic (Greek): oyden gar eteleiosen ho nomos, epeisagoge de kreittonos elpidos, diʼ hes engizomen tῷ theῷ.

Edified Edition (EDE)For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by which we draw near to God.

οὐδὲν γὰρ ἐτελείωσεν ὁ νόμος, ἐπεισαγωγὴ δὲ κρείττονος ἐλπίδος, διʼ ἧς ἐγγίζομεν τῷ θεῷ.

Phonetic (Greek): Kai kathʼ hoson oy choris horkomosias (ohi men gar choris horkomosias eisin hiereis gegonotes,

Edified Edition (EDE)And inasmuch as not without an oath He was made priest:

Καὶ καθʼ ὅσον οὐ χωρὶς ὁρκωμοσίας (οἱ μὲν γὰρ χωρὶς ὁρκωμοσίας εἰσὶν ἱερεῖς γεγονότες,

Phonetic (Greek): ho de meta horkomosias dia toy legontos pros ayton· Ὤmosen kyrios, kai oy metamelethesetai, Sy hiereys eis ton ⸀aiona),

Edified Edition (EDE)(For those priests were made without an oath; but this with an oath by Him who said to Him, "The Lord sware and will not repent, You are a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek"):

ὁ δὲ μετὰ ὁρκωμοσίας διὰ τοῦ λέγοντος πρὸς αὐτόν· Ὤμοσεν κύριος, καὶ οὐ μεταμεληθήσεται, Σὺ ἱερεὺς εἰς τὸν ⸀αἰῶνα),

Phonetic (Greek): kata ⸀tosoyto ⸀kreittonos diathekes gegonen engyos Ἰesoys.

Edified Edition (EDE)By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament.

κατὰ ⸀τοσοῦτο ⸀κρείττονος διαθήκης γέγονεν ἔγγυος Ἰησοῦς.

Phonetic (Greek): Kai ohi men pleiones eisin gegonotes hiereis dia to thanatῳ kolyesthai paramenein·

Edified Edition (EDE)And they truly were many priests, because they were not allowed to continue by reason of death:

Καὶ οἱ μὲν πλείονές εἰσιν γεγονότες ἱερεῖς διὰ τὸ θανάτῳ κωλύεσθαι παραμένειν·

Phonetic (Greek): ho de dia to menein ayton eis ton aiona aparabaton echei ten hierosynen·

Edified Edition (EDE)But this man, because He continues forever, has an unchangeable priesthood.

ὁ δὲ διὰ τὸ μένειν αὐτὸν εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα ἀπαράβατον ἔχει τὴν ἱερωσύνην·

Phonetic (Greek): hothen kai sῴzein eis to panteles dynatai toys proserchomenous diʼ aytoy tῷ theῷ, pantote zon eis to entynchanein hyper ayton.

Edified Edition (EDE)Therefore He is able also to save them to the uttermost who come to God by Him, seeing He ever lives to make intercession for them.

ὅθεν καὶ σῴζειν εἰς τὸ παντελὲς δύναται τοὺς προσερχομένους διʼ αὐτοῦ τῷ θεῷ, πάντοτε ζῶν εἰς τὸ ἐντυγχάνειν ὑπὲρ αὐτῶν.

Phonetic (Greek): Toioytos gar hemin ⸀kai eprepen archiereys, hosios, akakos, amiantos, kechorismenos apo ton hamartolon, kai hypseloteros ton oyranon genomenos·

Edified Edition (EDE)For such an high priest was appropriate for us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;

Τοιοῦτος γὰρ ἡμῖν ⸀καὶ ἔπρεπεν ἀρχιερεύς, ὅσιος, ἄκακος, ἀμίαντος, κεχωρισμένος ἀπὸ τῶν ἁμαρτωλῶν, καὶ ὑψηλότερος τῶν οὐρανῶν γενόμενος·

Phonetic (Greek): hos oyk echei kathʼ hemeran ananken, hosper ohi archiereis, proteron hyper ton idion hamartion thysias anapherein, epeita ton toy laoy (toyto gar epoiesen ephapax heauton anenenkas)·

Edified Edition (EDE)Who needs not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this He did once, when He offered up Himself.

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)·

Phonetic (Greek): ho nomos gar anthropous kathistesin archiereis echontas astheneian, ho logos de tes horkomosias tes meta ton nomon yhion, eis ton aiona teteleiomenon.

Edified Edition (EDE)For the law makes people high priests who have weakness; but the word of the oath, which was since the law, makes the Son, who is consecrated forevermore.

ὁ νόμος γὰρ ἀνθρώπους καθίστησιν ἀρχιερεῖς ἔχοντας ἀσθένειαν, ὁ λόγος δὲ τῆς ὁρκωμοσίας τῆς μετὰ τὸν νόμον υἱόν, εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τετελειωμένον.
