KumaHeberu 7
1Ngokuba uMelkisedeki lo, inkosi yaseSalema, umpristi kaNkulunkulu oPhezukonke, owahlangabeza u-Abrahama ebuya ekubulaleni amakhosi, wambusisa;
2U-Abrahama wamnika okweshumi kwakho konke; okokuqala ngokuthi ngokuhunyushwa iNkosi yokulunga, futhi emva kwalokho futhi inkosi yaseSalema, okungukuthi, iNkosi yokuthula;
3Engenayise, engenanina, engenanzalo, engenakuqala kwezinsuku, nakuphela kokuphila; kodwa enziwe wafana neNdodana kaNkulunkulu; uhlala engumphristi njalonjalo.
4Bhekani-ke ukuthi wayemkhulu kangakanani lowo, u-Abrahama ukhokho amnika okweshumi kwempango.
5Kepha labo abangamadodana kaLevi abemukeliswa ubupristi banomyalo wokuba bathathe okweshumi kubantu ngokomthetho, okungukuthi kubafowabo, noma bephuma okhalweni luka-Abrahama;
6Kodwa yena ongabalelwa ozalweni lwabo uthathile okwetshumi kuAbrahama, wambusisa lowo owayelezithembiso.
7Njalo kakuphikiswa ukuthi omncinyane ubusiswa ngomkhulu.
8Futhi lapha abantu abafayo bamukela okweshumi; kodwa lapho uyawemukela, ofakazelwa ngaye ukuthi uyaphila.
9Futhi kungathiwa noLevi owamukela okweshumi wakhipha okweshumi ngo-Abrahama;
10Ngoba wayesesokhalweni lukayise, mhla uMelkisedeki emhlangabeza.
11Ngakho-ke uma ukuphelela kwakukhona ngobupristi bukaLevi, ngokuba abantu bawemukela umthetho ngaphansi kwabo, kwakusaswelekelani ukuba kuvele omunye umpristi ngokokuma kukaMelkisedeki, angabizwa ngokokuma ka-Aroni na?
12Ngokuba uma ubupristi buguqulwa, kufanele ukuba nomthetho uguqulwe.
13Ngokuba lowo okukhulunywa ngaye lokho ungowesinye isizwe, okungekho muntu kuso owake wakhonza e-altare.
14Ngokuba kusobala ukuthi iNkosi yethu yavela kwaJuda; isizwe uMose angakhulumanga lutho ngaso ngobupristi.
15Kusesobala kakhulu ukuthi kuvele omunye umpristi ofana noMelkisedeki.
16Ongenziwanga ngokomthetho womyalo wenyama, kodwa ngokwamandla okuphila okungenasiphelo.
17Ngokuba uyafakaza ngokuthi: “Wena ungumpristi kuze kube phakade ngokokuma kukaMelkisedeki.
18Ngokuba umthetho owandulelayo uyachithwa ngenxa yobuthakathaka nokungasizi kwawo.
19Ngokuba umthetho awuphelelisanga lutho, kepha kwangeniswa ithemba elingcono; esisondela ngayo kuNkulunkulu.
20Ngalokho-ke wenziwa umpristi ngaphandle kwesifungo;
21(Ngokuba labo abapristi benziwa ngaphandle kwesifungo, kodwa lokhu ngesifungo ngaye owathi kuye: INkosi yafunga, kayiyikuzisola: Wena ungumpristi kuze kube nininini ngokwendlela kaMelkisedeki;)
22Ngakho uJesu waba yisibambiso sesivumelwano esingcono.
23Futhi ngempela babebaningi abapristi, ngoba ukufa kwakunqatshelwe ukuqhubeka.
24Kepha yena, ngokuba ehlala phakade unobupristi obungenakuguquleka.
25Ngakho unamandla okusindisa ngokupheleleyo abeza kuNkulunkulu ngaye, lokhu ephilela njalo ukubakhulekela.
26Ngokuba umpristi omkhulu onjalo usifanele, ongcwele, ongenacala, ongenabala, owahlukanisiwe nezoni, ophakanyiswe ngaphezu kwamazulu;
27ongadingi insuku ngensuku njengabapristi abakhulu ukuthi anikele imihlatshelo kuqala ngezakhe izono, andukuba ezezabantu;
28Ngokuba umthetho umisa abantu abanobuthakathaka babe ngabapristi abakhulu; kepha izwi lesifungo, elalandela umthetho, limisa iNdodana engcwele kuze kube phakade.
