¹

For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of God Most High, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him,

¹

(Заⷱ҇ т҃е҃і҃.) Се́й бо мелхїседе́къ, цр҃ь сали́мскїй, сщ҃е́нникъ бг҃а вы́шнѧгѡ, и҆́же срѣ́те а҆враа́ма возвра́щшасѧ ѿ сѣ́ча царе́й и҆ блгⷭ҇вѝ є҆го̀,

²

to whom also Abraham divided a tenth part of all (being first, by interpretation, King of righteousness, and then also King of Salem, which is, King of peace;

²

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 genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made like unto the Son of God), abideth a priest continually.

³

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 Abraham, the patriarch, gave a tenth out of the chief spoils.

⁴

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

⁵

And they indeed of the sons of Levi that receive the priest’s office have commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is, of their brethren, though these have come out of the loins of Abraham:

⁵

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 genealogy is not counted from them hath taken tithes of Abraham, and hath blessed him that hath the promises.

⁶

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

⁷

But without any dispute the less is blessed of the better.

⁷

(Заⷱ҇ т҃ѕ҃і҃.) без̾ всѧ́кагѡ же прекосло́вїѧ ме́ншее ѿ бо́лшагѡ бл҃гословлѧ́етсѧ.

⁸

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

⁸

И҆ здѣ̀ оу҆́бѡ десѧти̑ны человѣ́цы оу҆мира́ющїи прїе́млютъ: та́мѡ же свидѣ́телствꙋемый, ꙗ҆́кѡ жи́въ є҆́сть.

⁹

And, so to say, through Abraham even Levi, who receiveth tithes, hath paid tithes;

⁹

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

¹⁰

for he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchizedek met him.

¹⁰

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

¹¹

Now if there was perfection through the Levitical priesthood (for under it had the people received the law), what further need was there that another priest should arise after the order of Melchizedek, and not be reckoned after the order of Aaron?

¹¹

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.

¹²

прелага́емꙋ бо свѧще́нствꙋ, по нꙋ́жди и҆ зако́нꙋ премѣне́нїе быва́етъ.

¹³

For he of whom these things are said belongeth to another tribe, from which no man hath given attendance at the altar.

¹³

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

¹⁴

For it is evident that our Lord hath sprung out of Judah; as to which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood.

¹⁴

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

¹⁵

And what we say is yet more abundantly evident, if after the likeness of Melchizedek there ariseth another priest,

¹⁵

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

¹⁶

who hath been made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life:

¹⁶

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

¹⁷

for he testifieth of him, Thou art a priest forever After the order of Melchizedek.

¹⁷

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

¹⁸

For there is a disannulling of a foregoing commandment because of its weakness and unprofitableness

¹⁸

(Заⷱ҇ т҃з҃і҃.) Ѿлага́нїе оу҆́бѡ быва́етъ пре́жде бы́вшїѧ за́повѣди за не́мощное є҆ѧ̀ и҆ неполе́зное:

¹⁹

(for the law made nothing perfect), and a bringing in thereupon of a better hope, through which we draw nigh unto God.

¹⁹

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

²⁰

And inasmuch as it is not without the taking of an oath (for they indeed have been made priests without an oath;

²⁰

И҆ по є҆ли́кꙋ не без̾ клѧ́твы:

²¹

but he with an oath by him that saith of him, The Lord sware and will not repent himself, Thou art a priest forever After the order of Melchizedek);

²¹

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 hath Jesus become the surety of a better covenant.

²²

по толи́кꙋ лꙋ́чшагѡ завѣ́та бы́сть и҆спорꙋ́чникъ і҆и҃съ.

²³

And they indeed have been made priests many in number, because that by death they are hindered from continuing:

²³

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

²⁴

but he, because he abideth forever, hath his priesthood unchangeable.

²⁴

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

²⁵

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

²⁵

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

²⁶

For such a high priest became us, holy, guileless, undefiled, separated from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;

²⁶

(Заⷱ҇ т҃и҃і҃.) Тако́въ бо на́мъ подоба́ше а҆рхїере́й: прпⷣбенъ, неѕло́бивъ, безскве́рненъ, ѿлꙋче́нъ ѿ грѣ̑шникъ и҆ вы́шше нб҃съ бы́вый,

²⁷

who needeth not daily, like those high priests, to offer up sacrifices, first for his own sins, and then for the sins of the people: for this he did once for all, when he offered up himself.

²⁷

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 appointeth men high priests, having infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was after the law, appointeth a Son, perfected forevermore.

²⁸

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