इब्रानियों 5

1For every high priest taken from among men, is ordained for men in the things that appertain to God, that he may offer up gifts and sacrifices for sins:

2Who can have compassion on them that are ignorant and that err: because he himself also is compassed with infirmity.

3And therefore he ought, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins.

4Neither doth any man take the honour to himself, but he that is called by God, as Aaron was.

5So Christ also did not glorify himself, that he might be made a high priest: but he that said unto him: Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.

6As he saith also in another place: Thou art a priest for ever, according to the order of Melchisedech.

7Who in the days of his flesh, with a strong cry and tears, offering up prayers and supplications to him that was able to save him from death, was heard for his reverence.

8And whereas indeed he was the Son of God, he learned obedience by the things which he suffered:

9And being consummated, he became, to all that obey him, the cause of eternal salvation.

10Called by God a high priest according to the order of Melchisedech.

11Of whom we have much to say, and hard to be intelligibly uttered: because you are become weak to hear.

12For whereas for the time you ought to be masters, you have need to be taught again what are the first elements of the words of God: and you are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.

13For every one that is a partaker of milk, is unskillful in the word of justice: for he is a little child.

14But strong meat is for the perfect; for them who by custom have their senses exercised to the discerning of good and evil.

1Omnis namque pontifex ex hominibus assumptus, pro hominibus constituitur in iis quæ sunt ad Deum, ut offerat dona, et sacrificia pro peccatis:

2qui condolere possit iis qui ignorant et errant: quoniam et ipse circumdatus est infirmitate:

3et propterea debet, quemadmodum pro populo, ita etiam et pro semetipso offerre pro peccatis.

4Nec quisquam sumit sibi honorem, sed qui vocatur a Deo, tamquam Aaron.

5Sic et Christus non semetipsum clarificavit ut pontifex fieret: sed qui locutus est ad eum: Filius meus es tu, ego hodie genui te.

6Quemadmodum et in alio loco dicit: Tu es sacerdos in æternum, secundum ordinem Melchisedech.

7Qui in diebus carnis suæ preces, supplicationesque ad eum qui possit illum salvum facere a morte cum clamore valido, et lacrimis offerens, exauditus est pro sua reverentia.

8Et quidem cum esset Filius Dei, didicit ex iis, quæ passus est, obedientiam:

9et consummatus, factus est omnibus obtemperantibus sibi, causa salutis æternæ,

10appellatus a Deo pontifex juxta ordinem Melchisedech.

11De quo nobis grandis sermo, et ininterpretabilis ad dicendum: quoniam imbecilles facti estis ad audiendum.

12Etenim cum deberetis magistri esse propter tempus, rursum indigetis ut vos doceamini quæ sint elementa exordii sermonum Dei: et facti estis quibus lacte opus sit, non solido cibo.

13Omnis enim, qui lactis est particeps, expers est sermonis justitiæ: parvulus enim est.

14Perfectorum autem est solidus cibus: eorum, qui pro consuetudine exercitatos habent sensus ad discretionem boni ac mali.

1For every high priest, having been taken from among men, is appointed on behalf of men toward the things which pertain to God, so that he may offer gifts and sacrifices on behalf of sins;

2he is able to commiserate with those who are ignorant and who wander astray, because he himself is also encompassed by infirmity.

3And because of this, he also must make such offerings for sins even for himself, in the same manner as for the people.

4Neither does anyone take up this honor himself, but rather he who is called by God, just as Aaron was.

5Thus, even Christ did not glorify himself, so as to become High Priest, but instead, it was God who said to him: “You are my Son. Today I have begotten you.”

6And similarly, he says in another place: “You are a priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek.”

7It is Christ who, in the days of his flesh, with a strong cry and tears, offered prayers and supplications to the One who was able to save him from death, and who was heard because of his reverence.

8And although, certainly, he is the Son of God, he learned obedience by the things that he suffered.

9And having reached his consummation, he was made, for all who are obedient to him, the cause of eternal salvation,

10having been called by God to be the High Priest, according to the order of Melchizedek.

11Our message about him is great, and difficult to explain when speaking, because you have been made feeble when listening.

12For even though it is the time when you ought to be teachers, you are still lacking, so that you must be taught the things that are the basic elements of the Word of God, and so you have been made like those who are in need of milk, and not of solid food.

13For anyone who is still feeding on milk is still unskillful in the Word of Justice; for he is like an infant.

14But solid food is for those who are mature, for those who, by practice, have sharpened their mind, so as to discern good from evil.
