1這麥基洗德就是王，又是至高 神的祭司，本是長遠為祭司的。他當亞伯拉罕殺敗諸王回來的時候，就迎接他，給他祝福。This Melchizedek was king of Salem and priest of God Most High. He met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him,
2亞伯拉罕也將自己所得來的，取給他。他頭一個名就是仁義王，他又名撒冷王，就是平安王的意思。and Abraham apportioned to him a tenth of everything. First, his name means “king of righteousness.” Then also, “king of Salem” means “king of peace.”
3他，無生之始，無命之終，乃是與 神的兒子相似。Without father or mother or genealogy, without beginning of days or end of life, like the Son of God, he remains a priest for all time.
4你們想一想，先祖亞伯拉罕將自己所擄來取十分之一給他，這人是何等尊貴呢！Consider how great Melchizedek was: Even the patriarch Abraham gave him a tenth of the plunder.
5那得祭司職任的，領命照例向百姓取十分之一，這百姓是自己的弟兄，雖是從亞伯拉罕身（原文是腰）中生的，還是照例取十分之一。Now the law commands the sons of Levi who become priests to collect a tenth from the people—that is, from their brothers—though they too are descended from Abraham.
6獨有麥基洗德，不與他們同譜，倒收納亞伯拉罕的十分之一，為那蒙應許的亞伯拉罕祝福。But Melchizedek, who did not trace his descent from Levi, collected a tenth from Abraham and blessed him who had the promises.
7從來位分大的給位分小的祝福，這是。And indisputably, the lesser is blessed by the greater.
8在這裡收十分之一的都是必死的人；但在那裡收十分之一的，有為他作見證的說，他是活的；In the case of the Levites, mortal men collect the tenth; but in the case of Melchizedek, it is affirmed that he lives on.
9並且可說那受十分之一的利未，也是藉著亞伯拉罕納了十分之一。And so to speak, Levi, who collects the tenth, paid the tenth through Abraham.
10因為麥基洗德迎接亞伯拉罕的時候，利未已經在他先祖的身（原文是腰）中。For when Melchizedek met Abraham, Levi was still in the loin of his ancestor.
11從前百姓在利未人祭司職任以下受律法，倘若藉這職任能得完全，又何用另外興起一位祭司，照麥基洗德的等次，不照亞倫的等次呢？Now if perfection could have been attained through the Levitical priesthood (for on this basis the people received the law), why was there still need for another priest to appear—one in the order of Melchizedek and not in the order of Aaron?
12祭司的職任既已更改，律法也必須更改。For when the priesthood is changed, the law must be changed as well.
13因為這話所指的人本屬別的支派，那支派裡從來沒有一人。He of whom these things are said belonged to a different tribe, from which no one has ever served at the altar.
14我們的主分明是從出來的；但這支派，摩西並沒有提到祭司。For it is clear that our Lord descended from Judah, a tribe as to which Moses said nothing about priests.
15倘若照麥基洗德的樣式，另外興起一位祭司來，我的話更是顯而易見的了。And this point is even more clear if another priest like Melchizedek appears,
16他成為祭司，並不是照屬肉體的條例，乃是照（原文是不能毀壞）之生命的大能。one who has become a priest not by a law of succession, but by the power of an indestructible life.
17因為有給他作見證的說：「你是照著麥基洗德的等次永遠為祭司。」For it is testified: “You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.”
18先前的條例，因軟弱無益，所以了，So the former commandment is set aside because it was weak and useless
19（律法原來一無所成）就引進了更美的指望；靠這指望，我們便可以進到 神面前。(for the law made nothing perfect), and a better hope is introduced, by which we draw near to God.
20再者，耶穌為祭司，並不是不起誓立的。And none of this happened without an oath. For others became priests without an oath,
21至於那些祭司，原不是起誓立的，只有耶穌是起誓立的；因為那立他的對他說：「主起了誓，，你是永遠為祭司。」but Jesus became a priest with an oath by the One who said to Him: “The Lord has sworn and will not change His mind: ‘You are a priest forever.’”
22既是起誓立的，耶穌就作了更美之約的。Because of this oath, Jesus has become the guarantee of a better covenant.
23那些成為祭司的，數目本來多，是因為有死阻隔，不能長久。Now there have been many other priests, since death prevented them from continuing in office.
24這位既是永遠常存的，他祭司的職任就長久不更換。But because Jesus lives forever, He has a permanent priesthood.
25凡靠著他進到 神面前的人，他都能；因為他是長遠活著，替他們祈求。Therefore He is able to save completely those who draw near to God through Him, since He always lives to intercede for them.
26像這樣聖潔、無邪惡、、遠離罪人、高過諸天的大祭司，原是與我們合宜的。Such a high priest truly befits us—One who is holy, innocent, undefiled, set apart from sinners, and exalted above the heavens.
27他不像那些大祭司，每日必須先為自己的罪，後為百姓的罪獻祭；因為他只一次將自己獻上，就把這事成全了。Unlike the other high priests, He does not need to offer daily sacrifices, first for His own sins and then for the sins of the people; He sacrificed for sin once for all when He offered up Himself.
28律法本是立軟弱的人為大祭司；但在律法以後起誓的話，是立兒子為大祭司，乃是成全到永遠的。For the law appoints as high priests men who are weak; but the oath, which came after the law, appointed the Son, who has been made perfect forever.
