Hebrews 7

Wycliffe WYC

1 And this Melchisedec, king of Salem, and priest of the highest God [the priest of the highest God], which met Abraham, as he turned again from the slaying of the kings, and blessed him;

2 to whom also Abraham parted tithes of all things; first he is said king of rightwiseness [first soothly the which is interpreted king of rightwiseness], and afterward king of Salem, that is to say, king of peace,

3 without father, without mother, without genealogy, neither having beginning of days, neither end of life; and he is likened to the Son of God, and dwelleth priest without end [forsooth he likened to the Son of God, dwelleth priest into without end].

4 But behold ye how great is this [man] [Forsooth behold ye how great this is], to whom Abraham the patriarch gave tithes of the best things.

5 For men of the sons of Levi taking priesthood have commandment to take tithes of the people, by the law [And soothly men taking priesthood of the sons of Levi have commandment to take tithes of the people, after the law], that is to say, of their brethren, though also they went out of the loins of Abraham.

6 But he whose generation is not numbered in them, took tithes of Abraham; and he blessed this Abraham, which had repromissions.

7 Without any gainsaying [Forsooth without any against-saying], that that is less, is blessed of the better.

8 And here deadly men take tithes; but there he beareth witnessing, that he liveth. [And here soothly men dying take tithes; forsooth there it is witnessed, that he liveth.]

9 And that it be said so [And that it is so said], by Abraham also Levi, that took tithes, was tithed;

10 and yet he was in his father's loins, when Melchisedec met him.

11 Therefore if perfection was by the priesthood of Levi, for under him the people took the law, what yet was it needful, another priest to rise, by the order of Melchisedec, and not to be said by the order of Aaron [what yet was it needful, another priest to rise, after the order of Melchisedec, and not to be said after the order of Aaron]?

12 For why when the priesthood is translated, it is need [it is needful] that also [the] translation of the law be made.

13 But he in whom these things be said, is of another lineage, of which no man was priest to the altar [of which no man was priest, or ready, to the altar].

14 For it is open [Soothly it is openly known], that our Lord is born of Juda, in which lineage Moses spake nothing of priests.

15 And more yet it is known, if by the order of Melchisedec another priest is risen up; [And more yet it is known, if after the order of Melchisedec another priest riseth;]

16 which is not made by the law of fleshly commandment, but by [the] virtue of life that may not be undone. [the which is not made after the law of fleshly commandment, but after virtue of life indissoluble, or that may not be undone.]

17 For he witnesseth, That thou art a priest without end, by the order of Melchisedec; [Soothly he witnesseth, For thou art a priest into without end, after the order of Melchisedec;]

18 that reproving of the commandment before-going is made, for the unfirmness and unprofit of it.

19 For why the law brought nothing to perfection, but there is a bringing in of a better hope, by which we approach to God [by which we nigh to God].

20 And how great it is, not without swearing [that Christ is made priest after the order of Melchisedec];

21 but the others [forsooth others] be made priests without an oath; but this priest with an oath, by him that said to him, The Lord swore, and it shall not rue him, Thou art a priest without end, by the order of Melchisedec [Thou art a priest into without end, after the order of Melchisedec];

22 in so much Jesus is made [better] promiser of the better testament.

23 And [soothly] the others were made many priests, therefore for they were forbidden by death to dwell still [for that they were forbidden by death to dwell];

24 but this man, for he dwelleth without end [for that he dwelleth into without end], hath an everlasting priesthood.

25 Wherefore also he may save without end, coming nigh by himself to God, and evermore liveth to pray for us. [Wherefore and he may save into without end, coming nigh by himself to God, evermore living to pray for us.]

26 For it beseemed that such a man were a bishop to us, holy, innocent, undefouled, clean, separated from sinful men, and made higher than heavens; [+Forsooth it became that such a man were bishop to us, holy, innocent, unfiled, parted from sinners, and made higher than heavens;]

27 which hath not need each day, as priests, first for his own guilts to offer sacrifices, and afterward for the people; for he did this thing in offering himself once [soothly he did this thing, once offering himself].

28 And the law ordained men priests having frailty [having sickness, or frailty]; but the word of swearing, which is after the law, ordained the Son perfect without end [ordained the Son perfect into without end].

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 hic enim Melchisedech rex Salem sacerdos Dei summi qui obviavit Abrahae regresso a caede regum et benedixit ei

2 cui decimas omnium divisit Abraham primum quidem qui interpretatur rex iustitiae deinde autem et rex Salem quod est rex pacis

3 sine patre sine matre sine genealogia neque initium dierum neque finem vitae habens adsimilatus autem Filio Dei manet sacerdos in perpetuum

4 intuemini autem quantus sit hic cui et decimam dedit de praecipuis Abraham patriarcha

5 et quidem de filiis Levi sacerdotium accipientes mandatum habent decimas sumere a populo secundum legem id est a fratribus suis quamquam et ipsi exierunt de lumbis Abrahae

6 cuius autem generatio non adnumeratur in eis decimas sumpsit Abraham et hunc qui habebat repromissiones benedixit

7 sine ulla autem contradictione quod minus est a meliore benedicitur

8 et hic quidem decimas morientes homines accipiunt ibi autem contestatus quia vivit

9 et ut ita dictum sit per Abraham et Levi qui decimas accipit decimatus est

10 adhuc enim in lumbis patris erat quando obviavit ei Melchisedech

11 si ergo consummatio per sacerdotium leviticum erat populus enim sub ipso legem accepit quid adhuc necessarium secundum ordinem Melchisedech alium surgere sacerdotem et non secundum ordinem Aaron dici

12 translato enim sacerdotio necesse est ut et legis translatio fiat

13 in quo enim haec dicuntur de alia tribu est de qua nullus altario praesto fuit

14 manifestum enim quod ex Iuda ortus sit Dominus noster in qua tribu nihil de sacerdotibus Moses locutus est

15 et amplius adhuc manifestum est si secundum similitudinem Melchisedech exsurgit alius sacerdos

16 qui non secundum legem mandati carnalis factus est sed secundum virtutem vitae insolubilis

17 contestatur enim quoniam tu es sacerdos in aeternum secundum ordinem Melchisedech

18 reprobatio quidem fit praecedentis mandati propter infirmitatem eius et inutilitatem

19 nihil enim ad perfectum adduxit lex introductio vero melioris spei per quam proximamus ad Deum

20 et quantum est non sine iureiurando alii quidem sine iureiurando sacerdotes facti sunt

21 hic autem cum iureiurando per eum qui dixit ad illum iuravit Dominus et non paenitebit tu es sacerdos in aeternum

22 in tantum melioris testamenti sponsor factus est Iesus

23 et alii quidem plures facti sunt sacerdotes idcirco quod morte prohiberentur permanere

24 hic autem eo quod maneat in aeternum sempiternum habet sacerdotium

25 unde et salvare in perpetuo potest accedentes per semet ipsum ad Deum semper vivens ad interpellandum pro eis

26 talis enim decebat ut nobis esset pontifex sanctus innocens inpollutus segregatus a peccatoribus et excelsior caelis factus

27 qui non habet cotidie necessitatem quemadmodum sacerdotes prius pro suis delictis hostias offerre deinde pro populi hoc enim fecit semel se offerendo

28 lex enim homines constituit sacerdotes infirmitatem habentes sermo autem iurisiurandi qui post legem est Filium in aeternum perfectum
