Melikisedeki ahura na Aburahamu
Melikisedeki agaragara mu gitabo cy'Itangiriro, umutambyi wa Data wa twese Usumbabyose, aha Aburahamu umugisha akamwaka kimwe cya cumi, kandi uwandika yubaka kuri ibyo: ubutambyi bukuru kuruta ubwa Levi kandi buri hanze yabwo. Kuko ubutambyi buhindutse, amategeko na yo ahinduka na bwo. Uyu mutambyi ahora ari muzima kugira ngo adusabire.
7 1Uyu Melikisedeki, umwami w'i Salemu, umutambyi wa Data wa twese Usumbabyose, yasanganiye Aburahamu atabarutse amaze gutsinda ba bami, aramuha umugisha. 2Aburahamu amuha kimwe cya cumi cya byose. Izina rye risobanurwa, mbere na mbere, umwami w'ubutungane, hanyuma na none umwami w'i Salemu—bisobanura umwami w'amahoro. 3Nta se, nta nyina, nta gisekuru, nta ntangiriro y'iminsi cyangwa iherezo ry'ubugingo, ahubwo ameze nk'Umwana wa Data wa twese, aguma ari umutambyi iteka ryose.
4Zirikana ukuntu uyu muntu yari mukuru: Aburahamu sekuruza yamuhaye kimwe cya cumi cy'iminyago. 5Abo bakomoka kuri Levi baba abatambyi, bategetswe n'Amategeko gukoranya kimwe cya cumi ku bantu—bene wabo ubwabo—n'ubwo na bo bakomoka kuri Aburahamu. 6Ariko we, n'ubwo atakomotse kuri bo, yakuye kimwe cya cumi kuri Aburahamu, aha umugisha uwari ufite amasezerano. 7Nta mpaka na nke ko umuto ahabwa umugisha n'umukuru. 8Ku ruhande rumwe, kimwe cya cumi cyakirwa n'abantu bapfa; ku rundi ruhande, cyakirwa n'uwahamijwe ko ari muzima. 9Umuntu yakwemeza ndetse ko Levi, wakira kimwe cya cumi, yatanze anyujije kuri Aburahamu, 10kuko yari akiri mu mubiri wa sekuruza, ubwo Melikisedeki yahuraga na Aburahamu.
11Iyo ubutambyi bw'Abalevi bwari bwatumye abantu bagirwa indakemwa byuzuye—kuko ari bwo abantu bahereweho Amategeko—kuki hari ngombwa ko haboneka undi mutambyi, uwo mu buryo bwa Melikisedeki, atari uwo mu buryo bwa Aroni? 12Kuko iyo ubutambyi buhindutse, Amategeko na yo agomba guhinduka. 13Kuko uwo ibi byose bivugwaho yari uw'ubundi bwoko, ubwo nta wundi wigeze akorera ku gicaniro. 14Bigaragara ko Nyagasani wacu yakomotse kuri Yuda; Musa nta cyo yavuze ku batambyi bo muri ubwo bwoko. 15Kandi ibi birushaho kugaragara igihe haboneka undi mutambyi umeze nka Melikisedeki, 16wabaye umutambyi atabikesheje itegeko ry'ikomoka ry'umubiri, ahubwo abikesheje imbaraga z'ubugingo budashobora kurimbuka.
17Kuko hahamywa ku bwe ngo: “Uri umutambyi iteka ryose, mu buryo bwa Melikisedeki.”
18Ku ruhande rumwe, itegeko rya mbere ryaravanyweho kubera intege nke zaryo no kuba nta cyo rimaze, 19kuko Amategeko nta cyo yatunganyije; ariko hazanywe ibyiringiro bihebuje, binyuze kuri byo twegera Data wa twese. 20Ibi ntibyabaye nta ndahiro, kuko abandi babaye abatambyi nta ndahiro,
21ariko we yabaye umutambyi afite indahiro, abikesheje uwamubwiye ati: “Data wa twese yararahiye kandi ntazivuguruza, ‘Uri umutambyi iteka ryose.’” a a v21 “Uwavuze” indahiro ni Data wa twese, washyizeho ubutambyi buhoraho bwa Yezu. Zaburi ya 110 ni yo zaburi isubirwamo cyane kurusha izindi mu Isezerano Rishya — amagambo yose bayikuramo yerekeza kuri Yezu.
22Ku rwo rwego rumwe, Yezu yabaye umwishingizi w'Isezerano rihebuje.
23Abatambyi ba mbere bari benshi, kuko urupfu rwababuzaga gukomeza umurimo wabo, 24ariko we afite ubutambyi bwe burundu, kuko akomeza kubaho iteka ryose. 25Ku bw'ibyo ashobora gukiza rwose abegera Data wa twese banyuze kuri we, kuko ahora ariho kugira ngo abasabire.
26Umutambyi mukuru nk'uwo ni we watubereye: uwera, utagira umugayo, utanduye, watandukanyijwe n'abanyabyaha, washyizwe hejuru y'ijuru. 27Mu buryo butandukanye n'abo batambyi bakuru, nta kwari ngombwa ko atura ibitambo buri munsi—mbere ku bw'ibyaha bye, hanyuma ku bw'iby'abantu—kuko yabikoze rimwe ritagira irindi, yitanga we ubwe. 28Amategeko ashyiraho abantu bafite intege nke ngo babe abatambyi bakuru, ariko ijambo ry'indahiro, ryaje nyuma y'Amategeko, rishyiraho Umwana, wagizwe intungane iteka ryose.
