Omuyambi Melkisedek
1 Melkisedek nguka okwa li omukwaniilwa gwaSalem nomuyambi gwaKalunga gwokombandambanda. Abraham sho a li ta zi kiita, hoka a sindi aakwaniilwa mbeyaka, Melkisedek okwe mu tsakaneke nokwe mu yambeke. 2 Abraham okwe mu pe oshitimulongo shomiinima mbyoka e yi kwata miita. Edhina ndika Melkisedek otali ti “Omukwaniilwa guuyuuki”, ihe molwaasho okwa li omukwaniilwa gwaSalem, edhina lye otali ti ishewe “Omukwaniilwa gwombili”. 3 Melkisedek nguka ke na he, ye ke na yina nenge ezimo; ko inaku tumbulwa wo evalo lye neso lye. Okwa yelekwa nOmuna gwaKalunga: Oye ota kala omuyambi sigo aluhe.
4 Ano mpaka omu wete kutya Melkisedek okwa li omuntu omunene. Onkee kuku Abraham okwe mu pe oshitimulongo shomiinima mbyoka e yi kwata miita. 5 Aayambi ayehe yomezimo lyaLevi oya lombwelwa kompango, ya pule mAaisraeli oshitimulongo. Oyo otaye shi pula maakwawo, nando nayo wo oyomoluvalo lwaAbraham. 6 Melkisedek ye mwene ka li gwomezimo lyaLevi, ihe okwa pewa oshitimulongo kuAbraham nokwa yambeke Abraham tuu ngoka a pewa omauvaneko kuKalunga. 7 Osha yela kutya ngoka a yambeke mukwawo, oku na esimano li vule lyaangoka a yambekwa. 8 Aayambi mboka taa pula iitimulongo, ohaa si, ihe Melkisedek ngoka a pula wo iitimulongo, ina sa, ongaashi enyolo tali ti. 9 Abraham sho a gandja oshitimulongo, aanezimo lyaLevi oye shi gandja wo. 10 Oshoka uuna ndwiyaka Abraham a tsakaneke Melkisedek, Levi ka li a valwa natango.
11 Pautho lyompango Aaisraeli oya li ye na okudhiginina uuyambi wopaLevi. Iilonga yaayambi Aalevi ando oya li ya gwana, ando kakwa li kwa pumbiwa we omuyambi gulwe, e ye palandulathano lyaMelkisedek, halyopaAron. 12 Oshoka muuyambi sho mwe ya elunduluko, nomompango wo omu na okulunduluka. 13 Oshoka Omuwa gwetu ngoka ta popiwa mpaka, ke shi gwomezimo lyaayambi, nokakwa li nando ogumwe gwomezimo lye a li moshilonga shuuyambi. 14 Omuwa gwetu okwa tseyika nawa kutya okwa zi mezimo lyaJuda, ndyoka Moses inee li tumbula nando, sho a popi aayambi.
Omuyambi gulwe a fa Melkisedek
15 Oshinima ngashingeyi oshe ya puuyelele: Opwe ya omuyambi gulwe a fa Melkisedek. 16 Nguka ina ningwa omuyambi kaantu nenge komalombwelo gaantu, ihe okwa ningi omuyambi koonkondo oonamwenyo ndhoka kaadhi na ehulilo. 17 Oshoka enyolo otali ti: “Ongoye to ka ninga omuyambi gwaaluhe ngaashi Melkisedek.” 18 Ano ompango onkulu oya dhimwa po, oshoka kayi na we oonkondo, oya kulupa. 19 Oshoka ompango yaMoses inayi vula okugwanitha sha. Onkee ano ngashingeyi opwa tulwa etegameno ewanawalela, mundyoka tatu hedha kuKalunga.
20 Okwa gwedhwa wo okugana kwaKalunga. Nale inaku ningwa egano lya tya ngeyi, uuna aayambi mbeyaka ya langekwa moshilonga. 21 Ihe Jesus okwa ningi omuyambi koonkondo dhegano, uuna Kalunga e mu lombwele a ti:
“Omuwa okwa gana,

‘Ongoye to ka ninga omuyambi gwaaluhe.’ ”
22 Ano eyooloko ndika otali ningi Jesus a kale omugameni gwehangano ewanawa li vule ndiyaka.
23 Ope na wo eyooloko ekwawo: Aayambi mbeyaka yalwe oya li oyendji, oshoka oya si noinaa vula okutsikila iilonga yawo. 24 Ihe Jesus oku na omwenyo sigo aluhe, onkee oshilonga she shuuyambi itashi kuthwa po kugulwe. 25 Onkee ota vulu aluhe okuhupitha mboka taye ya kuKalunga taa pitile muye. Oshoka oku na omwenyo aluhe note ya galikanene koshipala shaKalunga.
26 Ano Jesus oye omuyambi omukuluntu ngoka te tu gwanithile oompumbwe dhetu. Oye omuyapuki, ke na nando oshipo nenge oondjo. Oye okwa kuthwa maantu nokwa yeluthilwa kombandambanda megulu. 27 Oye ina fa aayambi yalwe mboka haa yamba esiku kehe, tango omolwoondjo dhawo yene, opo ihe dhaantu yalwe. Ihe Jesus okwa yamba eyambo lumwe aluke, sho i igandja ye mwene. 28 Aantu mboka ya hogololwa pampango yaMoses, ya ninge aayambi aakuluntu, oya li aankundi. Ihe okugana kwaKalunga hoka kwa ningwa hugunina yompango, okwa langeke Omwana ngoka ta kala a gwana a pwa sigo aluhe.
