FOR this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him;

Οὗτος γὰρ ὁ Μελχισεδέκ, βασιλεὺς Σαλήμ, ἱερεὺς τοῦ Θεοῦ τοῦ ὑψίστου, ὁ συναντήσας Ἀβραὰμ ὑποστρέφοντι ἀπὸ τῆς κοπῆς τῶν βασιλέων καὶ εὐλογήσας αὐτόν,

[Заⷱ҇ 315] Се́й бо мелхїседе́къ, цр҃ь сали́мскїй, сщ҃е́нникъ бг҃а вы́шнѧгѡ, и҆́же срѣ́те а҆враа́ма возвра́щшасѧ ѿ сѣ́ча царе́й и҆ блгⷭ҇вѝ є҆го̀,

2

To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace;

ᾧ καὶ δεκάτην ἀπὸ πάντων ἐμέρισεν Ἀβραάμ, πρῶτον μὲν ἑρμηνευόμενος βασιλεὺς δικαιοσύνης, ἔπειτα δὲ καὶ βασιλεὺς Σαλήμ, ὅ ἐστι βασιλεὺς εἰρήνης,

є҆мꙋ́же и҆ десѧти́нꙋ ѿ всѣ́хъ ѿдѣлѝ а҆враа́мъ, пе́рвѣе ᲂу҆́бѡ сказꙋ́етсѧ цр҃ь пра́вды, пото́мъ же цр҃ь сали́мскїй, є҆́же є҆́сть, цр҃ь ми́ра,

3

Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually.

ἀπάτωρ, ἀμήτωρ, ἀγενεαλόγητος, μήτε ἀρχὴν ἡμερῶν μήτε ζωῆς τέλος ἔχων, ἀφωμοιωμένος δὲ τῷ υἱῷ τοῦ Θεοῦ, μένει ἱερεὺς εἰς τὸ διηνεκές.

без̾ ѻ҆тца̀, без̾ ма́тере, без̾ при́чта ро́да, ни нача́ла днє́мъ, ни животꙋ̀ конца̀ и҆мѣ́ѧ, ᲂу҆подо́бленъ же сн҃ꙋ бж҃їю, пребыва́етъ сщ҃е́нникъ вы́нꙋ.

4

Now consider how great this man was, unto whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils.

Θεωρεῖτε δὲ πηλίκος οὗτος, ᾧ καὶ δεκάτην Ἀβραὰμ ἔδωκεν ἐκ τῶν ἀκροθινίων ὁ πατριάρχης.

Ви́дите же, є҆ли́къ се́й, є҆мꙋ́же и҆ десѧти́нꙋ да́лъ є҆́сть а҆враа́мъ патрїа́рхъ ѿ и҆збра́нныхъ.

5

And verily they that are of the sons of Levi, who receive the office of the priesthood, have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is, of their brethren, though they come out of the loins of Abraham:

καὶ οἱ μὲν ἐκ τῶν υἱῶν Λευῒ τὴν ἱερατείαν λαμβάνοντες ἐντολὴν ἔχουσιν ἀποδεκατοῦν τὸν λαὸν κατὰ τὸν νόμον, τοῦτ’ ἔστι τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς αὐτῶν, καίπερ ἐξεληλυθότας ἐκ τῆς ὀσφύος Ἀβραάμ·

И҆ прїе́млющїи ᲂу҆́бѡ свѧще́нство ѿ сынѡ́въ леѵі̑инъ за́повѣдь и҆́мꙋтъ ѡ҆десѧ́тствовати лю́ди по зако́нꙋ, си́рѣчь, бра́тїю свою̀, а҆́ще и҆ ѿ чре́слъ а҆враа́мовыхъ и҆зше́дшꙋю:

6

But he whose descent is not counted from them received tithes of Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises.

ὁ δὲ μὴ γενεαλογούμενος ἐξ αὐτῶν δεδεκάτωκε τὸν Ἀβραάμ, καὶ τὸν ἔχοντα τὰς ἐπαγγελίας εὐλόγηκε.

не причита́емый же ро́домъ къ ни̑мъ, ѡ҆десѧ́тствова а҆враа́ма и҆ и҆мꙋ́щаго ѡ҆бѣтова̑нїѧ блгⷭ҇вѝ:

7

And without all contradiction the less is blessed of the better.

χωρὶς δὲ πάσης ἀντιλογίας τὸ ἔλαττον ὑπὸ τοῦ κρείττονος εὐλογεῖται.

[Заⷱ҇ 316] без̾ всѧ́кагѡ же прекосло́вїѧ ме́ньшее ѿ бо́льшагѡ бл҃гословлѧ́етсѧ.

8

And here men that die receive tithes; but there he receiveth them, of whom it is witnessed that he liveth.

καὶ ὧδε μὲν δεκάτας ἀποθνήσκοντες ἄνθρωποι λαμβάνουσιν, ἐκεῖ δὲ μαρτυρούμενος ὅτι ζῇ.

И҆ здѣ̀ ᲂу҆́бѡ десѧти̑ны человѣ́цы ᲂу҆мира́ющїи прїе́млютъ: та́мѡ же свидѣ́тельствꙋемый, ꙗ҆́кѡ жи́въ є҆́сть.

9

And as I may so say, Levi also, who receiveth tithes, payed tithes in Abraham.

καὶ ὡς ἔπος εἰπεῖν, διὰ Ἀβραὰμ καὶ Λευῒ ὁ δεκάτας λαμβάνων δεδεκάτωται·

И҆ да си́це рекꙋ̀, а҆враа́момъ и҆ леѵі́й, прїе́млѧй десѧти̑ны, десѧти̑ны да́лъ є҆́сть:

10

For he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchisedec met him.

ἔτι γὰρ ἐν τῇ ὀσφύϊ τοῦ πατρὸς ἦν ὅτε συνήντησεν αὐτῷ ὁ Μελχισεδέκ.

є҆ще́ бо въ чре́слѣхъ ѻ҆́тчїихъ бѧ́ше, є҆гда̀ срѣ́те є҆го̀ мелхїседе́къ.

11

If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron?

Εἰ μὲν οὖν τελείωσις διὰ τῆς Λευϊτικῆς ἱερωσύνης ἦν· ὁ λαὸς γὰρ ἐπ’ αὐτῇ νενομοθέτητο· τίς ἔτι χρεία κατὰ τὴν τάξιν Μελχισεδὲκ ἕτερον ἀνίστασθαι ἱερέα καὶ οὐ κατὰ τὴν τάξιν Ἀαρὼν λέγεσθαι;

А҆́ще ᲂу҆́бѡ соверше́нство леѵі́тскимъ свѧще́нствомъ бы́ло, лю́дїе бо на не́мъ взако́нени бы́ша: ка́ѧ є҆щѐ потре́ба по чи́нꙋ мелхїседе́ковꙋ и҆но́мꙋ воста́ти свѧще́нникꙋ, а҆ не по чи́нꙋ а҆арѡ́новꙋ глаго́латисѧ;

12

For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.

μετατιθεμένης γὰρ τῆς ἱερωσύνης ἐξ ἀνάγκης καὶ νόμου μετάθεσις γίνεται.

прелага́емꙋ бо свѧще́нствꙋ, по нꙋ́жди и҆ зако́нꙋ премѣне́нїе быва́етъ.

13

For he of whom these things are spoken pertaineth to another tribe, of which no man gave attendance at the altar.

ἐφ’ ὃν γὰρ λέγεται ταῦτα, φυλῆς ἑτέρας μετέσχηκεν, ἀφ’ ἧς οὐδεὶς προσέσχηκε τῷ θυσιαστηρίῳ.

Ѡ҆ не́мже бо глаго́лютсѧ сїѧ̑, колѣ́нꙋ и҆но́мꙋ причасти́сѧ, ѿ негѡ́же никто́же пристꙋпѝ ко ѻ҆лтарю̀:

14

For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda; of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood.

πρόδηλον γὰρ ὅτι ἐξ Ἰούδα ἀνατέταλκεν ὁ Κύριος ἡμῶν, εἰς ἣν φυλὴν οὐδὲν περὶ ἱερωσύνης Μωϋσῆς ἐλάλησε.

ꙗ҆́вѣ бо, ꙗ҆́кѡ ѿ колѣ́на і҆ꙋ́дова возсїѧ̀ гдⷭ҇ь на́шъ, ѡ҆ не́мже колѣ́нѣ мѡѷсе́й ѡ҆ свѧще́нствѣ ничесо́же глаго́ла.

15

And it is yet far more evident: for that after the similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest,

καὶ περισσότερον ἔτι κατάδηλόν ἐστιν, εἰ κατὰ τὴν ὁμοιότητα Μελχισεδὲκ ἀνίσταται ἱερεὺς ἕτερος,

И҆ ли́шше є҆щѐ ꙗ҆́вѣ є҆́сть, ꙗ҆́кѡ по подо́бїю мелхїседе́ковꙋ востае́тъ сщ҃е́нникъ и҆́нъ,

16

Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life.

ὃς οὐ κατὰ νόμον ἐντολῆς σαρκικῆς γέγονεν, ἀλλὰ κατὰ δύναμιν ζωῆς ἀκαταλύτου·

и҆́же не по зако́нꙋ за́повѣди плотскі́ѧ бы́сть, но по си́лѣ живота̀ неразрꙋша́емагѡ.

17

For he testifieth, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.

μαρτυρεῖ γὰρ ὅτι σὺ ἱερεὺς εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα κατὰ τὴν τάξιν Μελχισεδέκ.

Свидѣ́тельствꙋетъ бо, ꙗ҆́кѡ ты̀ є҆сѝ сщ҃е́нникъ во вѣ́къ по чи́нꙋ мелхїседе́ковꙋ.

18

For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going before for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof.

Ἀθέτησις μὲν γὰρ γίνεται προαγούσης ἐντολῆς διὰ τὸ αὐτῆς ἀσθενὲς καὶ ἀνωφελές·

[Заⷱ҇ 317] Ѿлага́нїе ᲂу҆́бѡ быва́етъ пре́жде бы́вшїѧ за́повѣди за не́мощное є҆ѧ̀ и҆ неполе́зное:

19

For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God.

οὐδὲν γὰρ ἐτελείωσεν ὁ νόμος, ἐπεισαγωγὴ δὲ κρείττονος ἐλπίδος, δι’ ἧς ἐγγίζομεν τῷ Θεῷ.

ничто́же бо соверши́лъ зако́нъ: привведе́нїе же є҆́сть лꙋ́чшемꙋ ᲂу҆пова́нїю, и҆́мже приближа́емсѧ къ бг҃ꙋ.

20

And inasmuch as not without an oath he was made priest:

καὶ καθ’ ὅσον οὐ χωρὶς ὁρκωμοσίας· οἱ μὲν γὰρ χωρὶς ὁρκωμοσίας εἰσὶν ἱερεῖς γεγονότες,

И҆ по є҆ли́кꙋ не без̾ клѧ́твы:

21

(For those priests were made without an oath; but this with an oath by him that said unto him, The Lord sware and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec:)

ὁ δὲ μετὰ ὁρκωμοσίας διὰ τοῦ λέγοντος πρὸς αὐτόν· ὤμοσε Κύριος, καὶ οὐ μεταμεληθήσεται· σὺ ἱερεὺς εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα κατὰ τὴν τάξιν Μελχισεδέκ·

ѻ҆ни́ бо без̾ клѧ́твы свѧще́нницы бы́ша, се́й же съ клѧ́твою чрез̾ глаго́лющаго къ немꙋ̀: клѧ́тсѧ гдⷭ҇ь и҆ не раска́етсѧ: ты̀ є҆сѝ сщ҃е́нникъ во вѣ́къ по чи́нꙋ мелхїседе́ковꙋ:

22

By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament.

κατὰ τοσοῦτον κρείττονος διαθήκης γέγονεν ἔγγυος Ἰησοῦς.

по толи́кꙋ лꙋ́чшагѡ завѣ́та бы́сть и҆спорꙋ́чникъ і҆и҃съ.

23

And they truly were many priests, because they were not suffered to continue by reason of death:

καὶ οἱ μὲν πλείονές εἰσι γεγονότες ἱερεῖς διὰ τὸ θανάτῳ κωλύεσθαι παραμένειν·

И҆ ѻ҆нѝ мно́жайши свѧще́нницы бы́ша, занѐ сме́ртїю возбране́ни сꙋ́ть пребыва́ти:

24

But this man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood.

ὁ δὲ διὰ τὸ μένειν αὐτὸν εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα ἀπαράβατον ἔχει τὴν ἱερωσύνην·

се́й же, зане́же пребыва́етъ во вѣ́ки, непрестꙋ́пное и҆́мать сщ҃е́нство,

25

Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.

ὅθεν καὶ σῴζειν εἰς τὸ παντελὲς δύναται τοὺς προσερχομένους δι’ αὐτοῦ τῷ Θεῷ, πάντοτε ζῶν εἰς τὸ ἐντυγχάνειν ὑπὲρ αὐτῶν.

тѣ́мже и҆ спⷭ҇тѝ до конца̀ мо́жетъ приходѧ́щихъ чрез̾ него̀ къ бг҃ꙋ, всегда̀ жи́въ сы́й, во є҆́же хода́тайствовати ѡ҆ ни́хъ.

26

For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;

Τοιοῦτος γὰρ ἡμῖν ἔπρεπεν ἀρχιερεύς, ὅσιος, ἄκακος, ἀμίαντος, κεχωρισμένος ἀπὸ τῶν ἁμαρτωλῶν καὶ ὑψηλότερος τῶν οὐρανῶν γενόμενος,

[Заⷱ҇ 318] Тако́въ бо на́мъ подоба́ше а҆рхїере́й: прпⷣбенъ, неѕло́бивъ, безскве́рненъ, ѿлꙋче́нъ ѿ грѣ̑шникъ и҆ вы́шше нб҃съ бы́вый,

27

Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this he did once, when he offered up himself.

ὃς οὐκ ἔχει καθ’ ἡμέραν ἀνάγκην, ὥσπερ οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς, πρότερον ὑπὲρ τῶν ἰδίων ἁμαρτιῶν θυσίας ἀναφέρειν, ἔπειτα τῶν τοῦ λαοῦ· τοῦτο γὰρ ἐποίησεν ἐφάπαξ ἑαυτὸν ἀνενέγκας.

и҆́же не и҆́мать по всѧ̑ дни̑ нꙋ́жды, ꙗ҆́коже первосвѧще́нницы, пре́жде ѡ҆ свои́хъ грѣсѣ́хъ жє́ртвы приноси́ти, пото́мъ же ѡ҆ людски́хъ: сїе́ бо сотворѝ є҆ди́ною, себѐ прине́съ.

28

For the law maketh men high priests which have infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was since the law, maketh the Son, who is consecrated for evermore.

ὁ νόμος γὰρ ἀνθρώπους καθίστησιν ἀρχιερεῖς ἔχοντας ἀσθένειαν, ὁ λόγος δὲ τῆς ὁρκωμοσίας τῆς μετὰ τὸν νόμον υἱὸν εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τετελειωμένον.

Зако́нъ бо человѣ́ки поставлѧ́етъ первосвѧще́нники, и҆мꙋ́щыѧ не́мощь: сло́во же клѧ́твенное, є҆́же по зако́нѣ, сн҃а во вѣ́ки соверше́нна.
