7 — Ebrei

1For this Melchisedech was king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him:Imperocché questo Melchisedech (era) Re di Salem, sacerdote del sommo Dio, il quale andò incontro d'Abramo, che ritornava dalla rotta dei Re, e lo benedisse:FOR this Melchisedec, the king of Salem, Priest of the God most high, vvho mette Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him:Hic enim Melchisedech, rex Salem, sacerdos Dei summi, qui obviavit Abrahæ regresso a cæde regum, et benedixit ei: 2To whom also Abraham divided the tithes of all: who first indeed by interpretation is king of justice: and then also king of Salem, that is, king of peace:A cui diede ancora Abramo la decima di tutte le cose: il quale primieramente si interpreta Re di giustizia: e poi Re di Salem, viene a dire, Re di pace,to vvhom also Abrahā deuided tithes of al: first in deede by interpretation, the king of iustice: & then also king of Salem, vvhich is to say, king of peace,cui et decimas omnium divisit Abraham: primum quidem qui interpretatur rex justitiæ: deinde autem et rex Salem, quod est, rex pacis, 3Without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but likened unto the Son of God, continueth a priest for ever.Senza padre, senza madre, senza genealogia, senza principio di giorni, senza fine di vita, è rassomigliato al Figliuolo di Dio, rimane sacerdote in eterno.vvithout father, without mother, vvithout genealogie, hauing neither beginning of daies nor end of life, but likened to the sonne of God, continueth a priest for euer.sine patre, sine matre, sine genealogia, neque initium dierum, neque finem vitæ habens, assimilatus autem Filio Dei, manet sacerdos in perpetuum. 4Now consider how great this man is, to whom also Abraham the patriarch gave tithes out of the principal things.Ma osservate, quanto sia grande costui, al quale diede la decima delle cose migliori anche Abramo il patriarca.And behold hovv great this man is, to vvhom also Abraham the Patriarke gaue tithes of the principal things.Intuemini autem quantus sit hic, cui et decimas dedit de præcipuis Abraham patriarcha. 5And indeed they that are of the sons of Levi, who receive the priesthood, have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is to say, of their brethren: though they themselves also came out of the loins of Abraham.Or quegli, che de' figliuoli di Levi sono assunti al sacerdozio, hanno ordine di ricever le decime dal popolo secondo la legge, cioè a dire, dai propri fratelli, quantunque ancor essi usciti dai lombi di Abramo.And certes they of the sonnes of Leui that take the priesthod, haue commaundement to take tithes of the people according to the Lavv, that is to say, of their brethren: albeit them selues also issued out of the loines of Abraham.Et quidem de filiis Levi sacerdotium accipientes, mandatum habent decimas sumere a populo secundum legem, id est, a fratribus suis: quamquam et ipsi exierint de lumbis Abrahæ.

6But he, whose pedigree is not numbered among them, received tithes of Abraham and blessed him that had the promises.Ma questi, del quale non è tra di quegli riferita la schiatta, ricevette le decime da Abramo, ed a lui, che aveva le promesse, diede la benedizione.but he vvhose generation is not numbered among them, tooke tithes of Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises.Cujus autem generatio non annumeratur in eis, decimas sumpsit ab Abraham, et hunc, qui habebat repromissiones, benedixit. 7And without all contradiction, that which is less is blessed by the better.Or senza alcun dubbio il minore dal maggiore riceve la benedizione.But vvithout al contradiction, that vvhich is lesse, is blessed of the better.Sine ulla autem contradictione, quod minus est, a meliore benedicitur. 8And here indeed, men that die receive tithes: but there, he hath witness that he liveth.E qui ricevon le decime uomini mortali: là poi uno, del quale è attestata la vita.And here in deede, men that die, receiue tithes: but there he hath vvitnes, that he liueth.Et hic quidem, decimas morientes homines accipiunt: ibi autem contestatur, quia vivit. 9And (as it may be said) even Levi who received tithes paid tithes in Abraham:E (per parlare così) in Abramo pagò le decime anche Levi, il quale riscuote le decime:And (that it may so be said) by Abraham Leui also, which receiued tithes, vvas tithed.Et (ut ita dictum sit) per Abraham, et Levi, qui decimas accepit, decimatus est: 10For he was yet in the loins of his father when Melchisedech met him.Imperocché questi era tuttora ne' lombi del padre, quando a questo andò incontro Melchisedech.for as yet he vvas in his fathers loines, vvhen Melchisedec mette him.adhuc enim in lumbis patris erat, quando obviavit ei Melchisedech. 11If then perfection was by the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people received the law), what further need was there that another priest should rise according to the order of Melchisedech: and not be called according to the order of Aaron?Se adunque la perfezione si aveva mediante il sacerdozio Levitico (imperocché sotto di questo ricevette il popolo la legge) qual bisogno vi fu di poi, che uscisse fuori un altro sacerdote secondo l'ordine di Melchisedech, e non fosse detto secondo l'ordine di Aronne?If then consummation vvas by the Leuitical priesthod (for vnder it the people receiued the Lavv) vvhat necessitie vvas there yet an other priest to rise according to the order of Melchisedec, and not to be called according to the order of Aaron?Si ergo consummatio per sacerdotium Leviticum erat (populus enim sub ipso legem accepit) quid adhuc necessarium fuit secundum ordinem Melchisedech, alium surgere sacerdotem, et non secundum ordinem Aaron dici ?

12For the priesthood being translated, it is necessary that a translation also be made of the law,Imperocché trasportato il sacerdozio, è di necessità, che si muti anche la legge.For the priesthod being translated, it is necessarie that a translation of the Lavv also be made.Translato enim sacerdotio, necesse erat ut et legis translatio fiat. 13For he of whom these things are spoken is of another tribe, of which no one attended on the altar.Imperocché quegli, per causa del quale queste cose si dicono, ad un'altra tribù appartiene, della quale nissuno servi all'altare.For he on vvhom these things be said, is of an other tribe, of the vvhich, none attended on the altar,In quo enim hæc dicuntur, de alia tribu est, de qua nullus altari præsto fuit. 14For it is evident that our Lord sprung out of Juda: in which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priests.Imperocché ella è cosa evidente, che della tribù di Giuda nacque il Signor nostro: alla qual tribù Mosè non parlò mai di sacerdozio.For it is manifest that our Lord sprung of Iuda: in the which tribe Moyses spake nothing of priestes'.Manifestum est enim quod ex Juda ortus sit Dominus noster: in qua tribu nihil de sacerdotibus Moyses locutus est. 15And it is yet far more evident: if according to the similitude of Melchisedech there ariseth another priest,E questo tanto più è manifesto; mentre un altro sacerdote esce fuori, che è simile a Melchisedech,And yet it is much more euident: if according to the similitude of Melchisedec there arise an other priest,Et amplius adhuc manifestum est: si secundum similitudinem Melchisedech exsurgat alius sacerdos, 16Who is made, not according to the law of a carnal commandment, but according to the power of an indissoluble life.Il quale è fatto sacerdote non secondo la legge de' riti carnali, ma per virtù di una vita indissolubile.which vvas not made according to the Lavv of the carnal commaundement, but according to the povver of life indissoluble.qui non secundum legem mandati carnalis factus est, sed secundum virtutem vitæ insolubilis. 17For he testifieth: Thou art a priest for ever according to the order of Melchisedech.Imperocché lo dichiara così: tu se' sacerdote in eterno secondo l'ordine di Melchisedech.For he vvitnesseth, That thou art a priest for euer, according to the order of Melchisedec.Contestatur enim: Quoniam tu es sacerdos in æternum, secundum ordinem Melchisedech. 18There is indeed a setting aside of the former commandment, because of the weakness and unprofitableness thereof:Or il precedente ordinamento viene rivocato per la sua debolezza, e inutilità:Reprobation certes is made of the former cō maundement, because of the vveakenesse and vnprofitablenesse thereof.Reprobatio quidem fit præcedentis mandati, propter infirmitatem ejus, et inutilitatem:

19For the law brought nothing to perfection: but a bringing in of a better hope, by which we draw nigh to God.(Imperocché niuna cosa condusse a perfezione la legge): ma dopo di essa s'introduce una migliore speranza, per la quale a Dio ci accostiamo.For the Lavv brought nothing to perfection, but an introduction of a better hope, by the vvhich vve approche to God.nihil enim ad perfectum adduxit lex: introductio vero melioris spei, per quam proximamus ad Deum. 20And inasmuch as it is not without an oath (for the others indeed were made priests without an oath:E di più (sacerdote) non senza giuramento (conciossiaché gli altri sono stati fatti sacerdoti senza giuramento;And in as much as it is not vvithout an othe, (the other truely vvithout an othe vvere made priestes:Et quantum est non sine jurejurando (alii quidem sine jurejurando sacerdotes facti sunt, 21But this with an oath, by him that said unto him: The Lord hath sworn and he will not repent: Thou art a priest for ever).Ma questi col giuramento da lui, che dissegli: giurò il Signore, e non si ritratterà: tu se' sacerdote in eterno:)but this vvith an othe, by him that said vnto him: Our Lord hath svvorne, and it shal not repent him: thou art a priest for euer)hic autem cum jurejurando per eum, qui dixit ad illum: Juravit Dominus, et non pœnitebit eum: tu es sacerdos in æternum): 22By so much is Jesus made a surety of a better testament.Di lauto migliore alleanza è divenuto mallevadore Gesù.by so much, is IESVS made a suretie of a better testamēt.in tantum melioris testamenti sponsor factus est Jesus. 23And the others indeed were made many priests, because by reason of death they were not suffered to continue:E quegli sono stati molti sacerdoti, perché la morte non permetteva, che molto durassero:And the other in deede vvere made priestes, being many, because that by death they vvere prohibited to continue:Et alii quidem plures facti sunt sacerdotes, idcirco quod morte prohiberentur permanere: 24But this, for that he continueth for ever, hath an everlasting priesthood:Ma questi, perché dura in eterno, ha un sacerdozio, che non passa.but this, for that he continueth for euer, hath an euerlasting priesthod.hic autem eo quod maneat in æternum, sempiternum habet sacerdotium. 25Whereby he is able also to save for ever them that come to God by him; always living to make intercession for us.Onde ancora può in perpetuo salvare coloro, che per mezzo suo si accostano a Dio: vivendo sempre, affin di supplicare per noi.vvhereby he is able to saue also for euer going' by him self to God: alvvaies liuing to make intercession for vs.Unde et salvare in perpetuum potest accedentes per semetipsum ad Deum: semper vivens ad interpellandum pro nobis.

26For it was fitting that we should have such a high priest, holy, innocent, undefiled, separated from sinners, and made higher than the heavens:Imperocché tale conveniva, che noi avessimo pontefice, santo, innocente, immacolato, segregato da' peccatori, e sublimato sopra de' cieli:For it vvas seemely that vve should haue such a high priest, holy, innocent, impolluted, separated from sinners, and made higher then the heauens.Talis enim decebat ut nobis esset pontifex, sanctus, innocens, impollutus, segregatus a peccatoribus, et excelsior cælis factus: 27Who needeth not daily (as the other priests) to offer sacrifices, first for his own sins, and then for the people’s: for this he did once, in offering himself.Il quale non ha necessità, come que' sacerdoti, di offerir ostie ogni giorno prima pe' suoi peccati, poi per quelli del popolo: imperocché ciò fece egli una volta, offerendo se stesso.vvhich hath not necessitie daily (as the priestes) first for his ovvne sinnes to offer hostes, then for the peoples. for this he did once, in offering him self.qui non habet necessitatem quotidie, quemadmodum sacerdotes, prius pro suis delictis hostias offerre, deinde pro populi: hoc enim fecit semel, seipsum offerendo. 28For the law maketh men priests, who have infirmity: but the word of the oath (which was since the law) the Son who is perfected for evermore.Imperocché la legge costituì sacerdoti uomini infermi: ma la parola del giuramento posteriore alla legge (costituì) il Figliuolo perfetto in eterno.For the Lavv appointeth priestes them that haue infirmitie: but the vvord of the othe vvhich is after the Lavv, the Sonne for euer perfected.Lex enim homines constituit sacerdotes infirmitatem habentes: sermo autem jurisjurandi, qui post legem est, Filium in æternum perfectum.
