¹⁶ lweyi abekiwiki na kunge hi kulandra milawu ni swileleto swa nyama, kambe kuli hi ntamu wa vutomi lebyingekena kuhela.

¹⁷ Hikusa hikola kwake a Tralwa drakuxwenga dritiyisa driku: Wene u muprista hilaha kungahelikiki, hi kuleleta ka Melkisedeki.

¹⁸ Hikusa a nawu lowu wa kuranga wuhelisiwile, hikusa afa wuli ni gome, wunga pfuni ntxhumu.

²⁰ Akuyentxiwi na kungafungiwi, hikusa lava vabekiwi awuprista na vanga funganga,

²¹ kambe Yelweyi, hi kufunga hinkonta ya lava angaku: Hosi yi fungile, kutani angaka angandruluki makungu yake. Wene umuprista hi laha kungahelikiki, hikulandra leleto dra Melkisedeki.

²² Hiswoswo Yesu avi mutiyisi wa xipfumelelanu lexi xitlulaka lexi xakhale.

²³ Na swone, lavo vayentxiwi vaprista hi ntrengo wakuhlawa, hikusa vayaleliwile kuya mahlweni hikola ka lifu,

²⁴ kambe Yelweyi, hi leswi atrhamaka hilaha kungahelikiki, ana nivuprista lebyingahelikiki.

²⁵ Hileswo-ke, vangaswikota kuhuluxa lava trhindrekelaka ku Xikwembu Nkulukumba, leswi ahanyaka hilaha kungahelikiki akuva ava khongotelela.

²⁶ Hikusa afa hifanekeliwa hi muprista lwenkulu lweyi waku tanu, wa kuxwenga, lweyi angeke na nandru, ni xambya, lweyi a travukaniki ni vadohi, lweyi angatlakuxiwa henhla ka matilo.

²⁷ Lweyi swingadjulekiki akuva a nyikela switlhavelo masiku hinkwawu, swanga hi vaprista lava vakulu, hikusungula hikola ka swidoho swake, ntrhaku hikola ka swa switrhungu, hikusa a yentxi leswi kan'we ntsena hi kutinyiketa ha swake yiva mhamba.

²⁸ Hikusa a nawu wubeka vhanu lava vanga ni gome vava vaprista, kambe a ritu dra xifungu lexingahlayiwa antrhaku ka nawu, xibekiwi N'wana lweyi ahetisekiki hi la kungahelikiki.
