عِبرانِيّين 5
| لِأَنَّ كُلَّ رَئِيسِ كَهَنَةٍ مَأْخُوذٍ مِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ يُقَامُ لِأَجْلِ ٱلنَّاسِ فِي مَا لِلهِ،لِكَيْ يُقَدِّمَ قَرَابِينَ وَذَبَائِحَ عَنِ ٱلْخَطَايَا، | ١ 1 |
Every [Jewish] Supreme Priest was chosen by [God] {[God] chose every [Jewish] Supreme Priest} from among [ordinary] men. They were appointed {[He] appointed them} in order that they would come before him on behalf of the people. [Specifically, God appointed them] in order that they would bring gifts [to him on behalf of the people], and in order to sacrifice [animals to him] for people who sinned.
| قَادِرًا أَنْ يَتَرَفَّقَ بِٱلْجُهَّالِ وَٱلضَّالِّينَ، إِذْ هُوَ أَيْضًا مُحَاطٌ بِٱلضَّعْفِ. | ٢ 2 |
The Supreme Priests could deal gently with those who ignorantly sinned, since the Supreme Priests themselves tended to sin easily.
| وَلِهَذَا ٱلضَّعْفِ يَلْتَزِمُ أَنَّهُ كَمَا يُقَدِّمُ عَنِ ٱلْخَطَايَا لِأَجْلِ ٱلشَّعْبِ هَكَذَا أَيْضًا لِأَجْلِ نَفْسِهِ. | ٣ 3 |
As a result, they had to offer something to God for their own sins, just like [they had to offer something to God] for [other] people who sinned.
| وَلَا يَأْخُذُ أَحَدٌ هَذِهِ ٱلْوَظِيفَةَ بِنَفْسِهِ، بَلِ ٱلْمَدْعُوُّ مِنَ ٱللهِ، كَمَا هَارُونُ أَيْضًا. | ٤ 4 |
Furthermore, [it is an honor to be a Supreme Priest] so no one honors himself [by appointing himself to become a Supreme Priest]. Instead, God chose each man [to become a Supreme Priest], as he chose Aaron [to be the first Supreme Priest].
| كَذَلِكَ ٱلْمَسِيحُ أَيْضًا لَمْ يُمَجِّدْ نَفْسَهُ لِيَصِيرَ رَئِيسَ كَهَنَةٍ، بَلِ ٱلَّذِي قَالَ لَهُ: «أَنْتَ ٱبْنِي، أَنَا ٱلْيَوْمَ وَلَدْتُكَ». | ٥ 5 |
Similarly, Christ also did not honor himself by appointing himself to become a Supreme Priest. Instead, God [appointed him by] saying to [him what he never said to any other priest, what the] Psalmist wrote in the Scriptures, You [(sg)] are my Son! Today I have declared that I am your Father!
| كَمَا يَقُولُ أَيْضًا فِي مَوْضِعٍ آخَرَ: «أَنْتَ كَاهِنٌ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ عَلَى رُتْبَةِ مَلْكِي صَادَقَ». (aiōn g165) | ٦ 6 |
And he also said [to Christ what the Psalmist wrote] in another Scripture passage, You are a priest eternally just like Melchizedek was a priest. (aiōn g165)
| ٱلَّذِي - فِي أَيَّامِ جَسَدِهِ- إِذْ قَدَّمَ بِصُرَاخٍ شَدِيدٍ وَدُمُوعٍ طَلِبَاتٍ وَتَضَرُّعَاتٍ لِلْقَادِرِ أَنْ يُخَلِّصَهُ مِنَ ٱلْمَوْتِ، وَسُمِعَ لَهُ مِنْ أَجْلِ تَقْوَاهُ، | ٧ 7 |
When Christ lived on the earth [MTY], he prayed [DOU] to God and tearfully cried out loudly to him. [Specifically], he asked [God], who was able to help him, that he would not [fear the sufferings just before] he died. As a result, God listened to him, because Christ reverently submitted [to what God wanted him to do].
| مَعَ كَوْنِهِ ٱبْنًا تَعَلَّمَ ٱلطَّاعَةَ مِمَّا تَأَلَّمَ بِهِ. | ٨ 8 |
Although Christ is [God’s own Son], he learned to obey [God] by suffering [before he died].
| وَإِذْ كُمِّلَ صَارَ لِجَمِيعِ ٱلَّذِينَ يُطِيعُونَهُ، سَبَبَ خَلَاصٍ أَبَدِيٍّ، (aiōnios g166) | ٩ 9 |
By becoming (all [that] God intended him to be/perfect), [he has now] become fully qualified [to be our Supreme Priest. As a result, he is the one who saves] eternally all who obey him. (aiōnios g166)
| مَدْعُوًّا مِنَ ٱللهِ رَئِيسَ كَهَنَةٍ عَلَى رُتْبَةِ مَلْكِي صَادَقَ. | ١٠ 10 |
Furthermore, God has designated him to be [our] Supreme Priest in the way that Melchizedek was a Supreme Priest.
| اَلَّذِي مِنْ جِهَتِهِ ٱلْكَلَامُ كَثِيرٌ عِنْدَنَا، وَعَسِرُ ٱلتَّفْسِيرِ لِنَنْطِقَ بِهِ، إِذْ قَدْ صِرْتُمْ مُتَبَاطِئِي ٱلْمَسَامِعِ. | ١١ 11 |
Although there is much to say [to you(pl)] about [how Christ resembles Melchizedek], this is hard [for me] to explain [to you] because you now understand things so slowly.
| لِأَنَّكُمْ -إِذْ كَانَ يَنْبَغِي أَنْ تَكُونُوا مُعَلِّمِينَ لِسَبَبِ طُولِ ٱلزَّمَانِ- تَحْتَاجُونَ أَنْ يُعَلِّمَكُمْ أَحَدٌ مَا هِيَ أَرْكَانُ بَدَاءَةِ أَقْوَالِ ٱللهِ، وَصِرْتُمْ مُحْتَاجِينَ إِلَى ٱللَّبَنِ، لَا إِلَى طَعَامٍ قَوِيٍّ. | ١٢ 12 |
[You became Christians long ago. So] by now you should be teaching [spiritual truths to others]. But you still need someone to teach you again the truths that God has revealed. [I am talking about] the truths that we teach people [when they] first [believe in Christ]. You need [those elementary truths] like babies need milk [MET]. You are not [ready for advanced teaching, which is like] the solid food [which mature people need] [MET].
| لِأَنَّ كُلَّ مَنْ يَتَنَاوَلُ ٱللَّبَنَ هُوَ عَدِيمُ ٱلْخِبْرَةِ فِي كَلَامِ ٱلْبِرِّ لِأَنَّهُ طِفْلٌ، | ١٣ 13 |
Remember that those [who are still learning these elementary truths] [MET] have not become familiar with [what God] says concerning becoming/being righteous. They are [just like] [MET] babies [who need] milk!
| وَأَمَّا ٱلطَّعَامُ ٱلْقَوِيُّ فَلِلْبَالِغِينَ، ٱلَّذِينَ بِسَبَبِ ٱلتَّمَرُّنِ قَدْ صَارَتْ لَهُمُ ٱلْحَوَاسُّ مُدَرَّبَةً عَلَى ٱلتَّمْيِيزِ بَيْنَ ٱلْخَيْرِ وَٱلشَّرِّ. | ١٤ 14 |
But [the more advanced spiritual truth] is for people who are [spiritually] mature, just like [MET] solid food is for [people who are physically] mature. They can tell the difference between what is good and what is evil, because they have trained themselves [to keep doing that].
