Ndebele - Hebrews - 7

7:1  Ngoba uMelkizedeki lo, inkosi yeSalema, umpristi kaNkulunkulu oPhezukonke, owahlangabeza uAbrahama mhla ebuya ekubulaleni amakhosi, wasembusisa,

7:2  uAbrahama laye wamabela okwetshumi kwakho konke; kuqala uphendulelwa ngokuthi inkosi yokulunga, emva kwalokhu besekuthiwa futhi inkosi yeSalema, okuyikuthi inkosi yokuthula;

7:3  engelayise, engelanina, engelasendo, engelakuqala kwensuku kumbe ukuphela kwempilo, kodwa esenziwe wafanana leNdodana kaNkulunkulu, uhlala engumpristi laphakade.

7:4  Bonani-ke ukuthi mkhulu kangakanani lo, ngitsho uAbrahama ukhokho amnika okwetshumi kwezimpango.

7:5  Lalabo abavela emadodaneni kaLevi abemukela ubupristi balomlayo wokwemukela okwetshumi ebantwini ngokomthetho, okuyikuthi kubafowabo, lanxa bevela ekhalweni lukaAbrahama;

7:6  kodwa yena ongabalelwa osendweni lwabo, wemukela okwetshumi kuAbrahama, wasembusisa lowo owayelezithembiso.

7:7  Njalo kungelakuphikwa ngitsho ukuthi: Omncinyane ubusiswa ngomkhulu.

7:8  Lapha-ke abantu abafayo bemukela okwetshumi; kodwa lapho esemukela lowo okufakazwa ngaye ukuthi uyaphila.

7:9  Kungatshiwo-ke, uLevi laye owemukela okwetshumi wanikela okwetshumi ngoAbrahama;

7:10  ngoba wayesesekhalweni lukayise, mhla uMelkizedeki emhlangabeza.

7:11  Ngakho-ke uba kwakukhona ukuphelela ngobupristi bukaLevi (ngoba isizwe sanikwa umlayo ngaphansi kwabo), kwakusaswelekelani ukuthi kuvele omunye umpristi ngokohlobo lukaMelkizedeki, lokungatshiwo ngokwendlela kaAroni?

7:12  Ngoba uba ubupristi buphendulwa, kuyadingeka ukuthi kube khona lokuphendulwa komlayo.

7:13  Ngoba lowo okukhulunywa ngaye lezizinto ungowesinye isizwe, okungabanga khona kuso owanakekela ilathi.

7:14  Ngoba kusobala ukuthi iNkosi yethu yavela koJuda, isizwe uMozisi angakhulumanga lutho ngaso mayelana lobupristi.

7:15  Njalo kusesobala ngokwengezelelwe kakhulu, uba sekusima omunye umpristi njengokofuzo lukaMelkizedeki,

7:16  ongenziwanga ngokomthetho wesimiso senyama, kodwa ngokwamandla empilo engelakuphela;

7:17  ngoba ufakaza esithi: Wena ungumpristi kuze kube nininini ngokohlobo lukaMelkizedeki.

7:18  Ngoba ukubekwa eceleni komthetho wokuqala kwenziwa ngenxa yobuthakathaka lokungasizi lutho kwawo;

7:19  ngoba umlayo kawuzanga wenze ulutho luphelele, kodwa uyisingeniso sethemba elingcono, esisondela ngalo kuNkulunkulu.

7:20  Njalo okungangokuthi kenziwanga ngaphandle kwesifungo,

7:21  (ngoba bona baba ngabapristi ngaphandle kwesifungo, kodwa yena ngesifungo, ngalowo owathi kuye: INkosi yafunga njalo kayiyikuzisola yathi: Wena ungumpristi kuze kube nininini ngokohlobo lukaMelkizedeki;)

7:22  ngalokho uJesu waba yisibambiso sesivumelwano esingcono.

7:23  Lalabo babebanengi ababa ngabapristi, ngoba bavinjelwa yikufa ukuthi bahlale njalo;

7:24  kodwa lo, ngenxa yokuthi uhlala kuze kube phakade, ulobupristi obungadluliyo.

7:25  Ngenxa yalokho laye ulamandla okusindisa ngokupheleleyo abeza kuNkulunkulu ngaye, lokhu ephilela njalo ukubanxusela.

7:26  Ngoba umpristi omkhulu onjalo usifanele, ongcwele, ongelacala, ongelasici, owehlukaniswe lezoni, lowenziwa waphakama kulamazulu;

7:27  ongadingi insuku ngensuku, njengabapristi abakhulu, ukunikela imihlatshelo esenzela ezakhe izono kuqala, emva kwalokho ezabantu; ngoba lokho wakwenza kanye mhla ezinikela yena.

7:28  Ngoba umlayo uyamisa abantu babe ngabapristi abakhulu, abalobuthakathaka; kodwa ilizwi lesifungo elalandela umlayo lamisa iNdodana ephelelisiweyo kuze kube nininini.
