| Latin | 405 | Vulgate | Si ergo consummatio per sacerdotium leviticum erat populus enim sub ipso legem accepit quid adhuc necessarium secundum ordinem Melchisedech alium surgere sacerdotem et non secundum ordinem Aaron dici |
| Middle English | 1395 | Wyclif | Therfor if perfeccioun was bi the preesthood of Leuy, for vndur hym the puple took the lawe, what yit was it nedeful, another preest to rise, bi the ordre of Melchisedech, and not to be seid bi the ordre of Aaron? |
| Renaissance English | 1526 | Tyndale | Yf now therfore perfeccion came by the presthod of the levites (for vnder that presthod the people recaved the lawe) what neded it furthermore that an other prest shuld ryse after the order of Melchisedech and not after the order of Aaron? |
| Jacobean English | 1611 | King James | If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron? |

| Language | Hebrews Chapter 7, Verse 11 |
| Croatian | Da se dakle savršenstvo postiglo po levitskom sveæeništvu - jer na temelju njega narod je dobio Zakon - koja bi onda bila potreba da se po redu Melkisedekovu postavi drugi sveæenik i da se ne imenuje po redu Aronovu? |
| Finnish | Jos siis täydellisyys olisi saavutettu leeviläisen pappeuden kautta, sillä tähän on kansa laissa sidottu, miksi sitten oli tarpeen, että nousi toinen pappi Melkisedekin järjestyksen mukaan eikä tullut nimitetyksi Aaronin järjestyksen mukaan? |
| French | Si donc la perfection avait été possible par le sacerdoce Lévitique, -car c`est sur ce sacerdoce que repose la loi donnée au peuple, -qu`était-il encore besoin qu`il parût un autre sacrificateur selon l`ordre de Melchisédek, et non selon l`ordre d`Aaron? |
| Indonesian-Bahasa Sehari-hari | Di bawah pimpinan imam-imam Lewi, hukum agama Yahudi diberikan kepada umat Israel. Karena imam-imam Lewi dahulu itu tidak dapat melakukan dengan sempurna apa yang harus dikerjakannya, maka harus ada imam lain, yaitu yang seperti Imam Melkisedek, dan bukan dari golongan Imam Harun lagi! |
| Italian | Or dunque, se la perfezione fosse stata possibile per mezzo del sacerdozio levitico - sotto di esso il popolo ha ricevuto la legge - che bisogno c'era che sorgesse un altro sacerdote alla maniera di Melchìsedek, e non invece alla maniera di Aronne? |
| Maori | ¶ Na, ki te mea na ta te Riwai mahi tohunga i tino rite ai, a i na runga hoki i tera te rironga o te ture i te iwi, he aha atu te mea e whakatika ake ai tetahi atu tohunga i runga i to Merekihereke ritenga; te kiia ai i runga i to Arona ritenga? |
| Norwegian | Var det da fullkommenhet å vinne ved det levittiske prestedømme - for dette var folket bundet til ved loven - hvad trang hadde det da vært til at en annen prest skulde opstå efter Melkisedeks vis og ikke nevnes efter Arons vis? |
| Rumanian | Dacq, dar, desqvkrwirea ar fi fost cu putinyq prin preoyia Leviyilor, -cqci supt preoyia aceasta a primit poporul Legea-ce nevoie mai era sq se ridice un alt preot ,,dupq rknduiala lui Melhisedec``, wi nu dupq rknduiala lui Aaron? |
| Shuar | ¶ Muisais akupkamunam Riwí-shuarnumia aya Arun Weeá shuar Yúsnan pujurin ármiayi. Niisha Muisais akupkamu timia nujai métek penké shuarjai takasarmiayi. Tura Riwí-shuarnumia Yúsnan pujurniu takatrijiai Tunáa nekas Asakárminiaitkiuinkia Yúsnan pujurin yamarmak, Arun weeachu, anaikiashtin ainti. Túrasha Yus Jesusan, Mirkiseték amia ainis, Yúsnan pujurniun anaikiaiti. Nusha Arun weeachuiti. |
| Swahili | Kutokana na ukuhani wa Walawi, watu wa Israeli walipewa Sheria. Sasa, kama huduma ya Walawi ingalikuwa kamilifu hapangekuwa tena na haja ya kutokea ukuhani mwingine tofauti, ukuhani ambao umefuata utaratibu wa ukuhani wa Melkisedeki, na si ule wa Aroni. |
| Swedish | Vore det nu så, att fullkomning kunde vinnas genom det levitiska prästadömet -- och på detta var ju folkets lagstiftning byggd -- varför hade det då behövts att en präst av annat slag, "efter Melkisedeks sätt", skulle uppstå, en som icke nämnes "efter Arons sätt"? |
| Uma | ¶ Nto'u Alata'ala mpowai' Atura-na hi to Yahudi, na'ongko' muli Lewi napajadi' -ra imam to mpohawai' ntodea mpotuku' Atura-na toe. Tapi' pobago imam toera uma mpomoroli' manusia' hi poncilo Alata'ala. Toe-mi pai' kana mehupa' imam to ntani' -nae. Imam to mehupa' toei, imam to hewa Melkisedek, bela-i muli Lewi hewa Harun. |
