1 M alkisadaqan, oo Saalem boqorka u ahaa, wadaadkii Ilaaha ugu sarreeyana ahaa, wuxuu la kulmay Ibraahim oo ka soo noqday layntii boqorrada, wuuna barakeeyey.

Melchizedek was king of Salem. He was a religious leader for God. When Abraham was coming back from the war where many kings were killed, Melchizedek met Abraham and showed respect to him.

2 O o Ibraahim wuxuu isagii wax kasta ka siiyey toban meelood oo meel. Malkisadaq hortii waxaa magiciisii lagu fasiray, Boqorka Xaqnimada, dabadeedna, Boqorka Saalem, oo ah Boqorka Nabadda.

Abraham gave Melchizedek one-tenth part of all he had. Melchizedek’s name means king of what is right. Salem means peace. So he is king of peace.

3 A abbe ma lahayn, hooyona ma lahayn, abtirsiinyona ma lahayn, oo isagoo aan lahayn bilowga maalmaha ama dhammaadka nolosha laakiin loo ekaysiiyey Wiilka Ilaah, ayuu weligiis wadaad sii ahaanayaa.

Melchizedek was without a father or mother or any family. He had no beginning of life or end of life. He is a religious leader forever like the Son of God.

4 H addaba ka fiirsada ninkanu siduu u weynaa, kan Ibraahim oo madaxda awowayaashii ahi meeltobnaad ka siiyey boolidii.

We can see how great Melchizedek was. Abraham gave him one-tenth part of all he had taken in the war.

5 O o runtii kuwii qoladii Laawi oo helay shuqulka wadaadnimada waxay haystaan amar ay dadka kaga qaataan meeltobnaadka sida sharcigu leeyahay, kuwaas waxaa weeye walaalahood in kastoo ay kuwanu ka yimaadeen xanjaadka Ibraahim.

The Law made the family of Levi the Jewish religious leaders. The Law said that the religious leaders were to take one-tenth part of everything from their own people.

6 L aakiin kii aan iyaga ku abtirsanin ayaa wuxuu Ibraahim ka qaatay meeltobnaadyo, oo barakeeyey kii ballamada loo qaaday.

Melchizedek was not even from the family group of Levi but Abraham paid him. Melchizedek showed respect to Abraham who was the one who had received God’s promises.

7 L aakiin muranla'aan kan yar waxaa barakeeya kan ka wanaagsan.

The one who shows respect is always greater than the one who receives it.

8 O o halkan waxaa meeltobnaadyada qaata dadka dhinta, laakiin halkaas mid loo markhaati furay inuu nool yahay.

Jewish religious leaders receive one-tenth part. They are men and they all die. But here Melchizedek received one-tenth part and is alive.

9 W axaa la odhan kara, Laawiga meeltobnaadyada qaataana, Ibraahim meeltobnaadyo ayuu ku bixiyey.

We might say that Levi, who receives one-tenth part, paid one-tenth part through Abraham.

10 W aayo, isagu weli xanjaadkii aabbihiis buu ku jiray kolkii Malkisadaq la kulmay. Ciise Wadaadnimadiisu Way Ka Sarraysaa Wadaadnimada Yuhuudda

Levi was not yet born. He was still inside Abraham’s body when Abraham paid Melchizedek.

11 H addaba haddii kaamilnimo ku jirtay wadaadnimadii Laawi, waayo, iyada ayuu dadku sharciga ka hoos helaye, maxaa weli loogu baahnaa in wadaad kale ka kaco derejadii Malkisadaq oo aan lagu magacaabin derejadii Haaruun?

The Law was given during the time when Levi and his sons were the religious leaders. If the work of those religious leaders had been perfect in taking away the sins of the people, there would have been no need for another religious leader. But one like Melchizedek was needed and not one from the family group of Aaron.

12 W aayo, wadaadnimada markii la beddelo waa lagamamaarmaan in sharcigana la beddelo.

For when the family group of religious leaders changed, the Law had to be changed also.

13 W aayo, kii waxyaalahan laga sheegay waa qolo kale oo aan nin meeshii allabariga ka shaqeeyey ka iman.

These things speak of Christ Who is from another family group. That family group never had a religious leader who killed animals and gave gifts at the altar for the sins of the people.

14 W aa cad dahay in Sayidkeennu ka soo baxay Yahuudah, oo ah qolo aan Muuse kaga hadlin wax wadaaddo ku saabsan.

Our Lord came from the family group of Judah. Moses did not write anything about religious leaders coming from that family group. A Different Religious Leader Has Come

15 O o weliba aad bay u sii cad dahay, haddii wadaad kale oo Malkisadaq u egi kaco,

We can see that a different Religious Leader has come. This One is like Melchizedek.

16 k ii aan wadaad lagaga dhigin sharciga abtirsiinyada xagga jidhka, laakiin xagga xoogga nolosha aan dhammaadka lahayn.

Christ did not become a Religious Leader by coming from the family group of Levi as the Law said had to be. He became the Religious Leader by the power of a life that never ends.

17 W aayo, isaga waxaa loogu markhaati furay, Adigu weligaaba wadaad baad tahay Sidii derejadii Malkisadaq.

The Holy Writings say this about Christ, “You are a Religious Leader forever like Melchizedek.”

18 W aayo, amarkii hore waxaa loo buriyey itaaldarradiisii iyo faa'iidola'aantiisii,

God put the Law of Moses aside. It was weak and could not be used.

19 m axaa yeelay, sharcigu waxba ma uu kaamilin. Oo waxaa la keenay rajo ka wanaagsan oo aynu Ilaah ugu dhowaanno.

For the Law of Moses could not make men right with God. Now there is a better hope through which we can come near to God.

20 O o isagu dhaarla'aan wadaad kuma uu noqon.

God made a promise when Christ became the Religious Leader Who made the way for man to go to God.

21 I yagu dhaarla'aan bay wadaaddo ku noqdeen, laakiin isagu wuxuu ku noqday dhaarta kan ku yidhi, Rabbigu waa dhaartay, kana soo noqon maayo, Adigu weligaaba wadaad baad tahay.

God did not make such a promise when Levi’s family group became religious leaders. But when Christ became a Religious Leader, this is the promise God made, “The Lord has made a promise. He will never change His mind. You will be a Religious Leader forever.”

22 O o sidaasuu Ciise ku noqday dammiinka axdiga ka wanaagsan.

Christ makes this New Way of Worship sure for us because of God’s promise.

23 I yaguna waxay noqdeen wadaaddo tiro badan, maxaa yeelay, dhimashada ayaa ka joojisay inay sii jiraan:

There had to be many religious leaders during the time of the Old Way of Worship. They died and others had to keep on in their work.

24 I saguse wuxuu haystaa wadaadnimadiisa aan beddelmi karin, waayo, weligiis buu sii jirayaa.

But Jesus lives forever. He is the Religious Leader forever. It will never change.

25 S idaas daraaddeed dhammaan buu u badbaadin karaa kuwa Ilaah ugu dhowaada isaga, maxaa yeelay, isagu weligiis waa nool yahay si uu ugu duceeyo iyaga.

And so Jesus is able, now and forever, to save from the punishment of sin all who come to God through Him because He lives forever to pray for them.

26 W aayo, wadaad sare oo caynkan ahu waa inagu habboonaa, mid quduus ah oo aan khiyaano iyo wasakh toona lahayn, oo dembilayaasha ka soocan, oo samooyinka laga sarraysiiyey,

We need such a Religious Leader Who made the way for man to go to God. Jesus is holy and has no guilt. He has never sinned and is different from sinful men. He has the place of honor above the heavens.

27 k an aan u baahnayn inuu maalin walba allabari u bixiyo sida wadaaddadii sare, kolka hore dembiyadiisa aawadood, dabadeedna kuwa dadka aawadood; tan mar keliya ayuu sameeyey markuu isbixiyey.

Christ is not like other religious leaders. They had to give gifts every day on the altar in worship for their own sins first and then for the sins of the people. Christ did not have to do that. He gave one gift on the altar and that gift was Himself. It was done once and it was for all time.

28 W aayo, sharcigu niman itaaldaran ayuu wadaaddo sare ka dhigaa, laakiin hadalka dhaarta oo sharciga ka dambeeyey wuxuu ka dhigaa Wiil weligiis kaamil ah.

The Law makes religious leaders of men. These men are not perfect. After the Law was given, God spoke with a promise. He made His Son a perfect Religious Leader forever.
