1 Ngokuba yilowo nalowo mpristi omkhulu okhethwa kubantu umiselwa abantu kokukaNkulunkulu, ukuze anikele izipho nemihlatshelo ngenxa yezono; 2 angabekezelela abangazi lutho nabadukayo, lokhu naye uzungeziwe ngubuthakathaka; 3 ngenxa yabo kufanele ukuba, njengalokhu enikela ngezono zabantu, anikele kanjalo nangezakhe. 4Akukho muntu ozithathela leso sikhundla, kuphela obizelwa kuso nguNkulunkulu njengo-Aroni.
UKristu ungumpristi obiziweyo
5 Kanjalo noKristu akazidumisanga yena aze abe ngumpristi omkhulu, kepha wadunyiswa nguye owakhuluma kuye, wathi:
“UyiNdodana yami wena,
namuhla ngikuzele,”
6 njengokuba esho nakwenye indawo ngokuthi:
“Wena ungumpristi kuze kube phakade
ngokokuma kukaMelkisedeki,”
7 owathi esenikele emihleni yenyama yakhe ngemikhuleko, nokunxusa, nokudazuluka okukhulu, nezinyembezi kuyena onamandla okumsindisa ekufeni, wezwiwa ngenxa yokumesaba uNkulunkulu. 8 Noma eyiNdodana, wafunda ukulalela ngalokho ahlupheka ngakho; 9 esephelelisiwe waba yisisusa sokusindiswa okuphakade kubo bonke abamlalelayo, 10ebizwa nguNkulunkulu ukuthi umpristi omkhulu ngokokuma kukaMelkisedeki.
