Hebrews 5

1 For every high priest, being taken from among men, is appointed for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins.

Ko eni, ko e taulaʻeiki lahi kotoa pē kuo fili mei he kakai, kuo fakanofo ia maʻae kakai ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ʻae ʻOtua, koeʻuhi ke ne ʻatu ʻae ngaahi meʻa foaki mo e ngaahi feilaulau koeʻuhi ko e angahala:

2 The high priest can deal gently with those who are ignorant and going astray, because he himself is also surrounded with weakness.

‌ʻAia ʻoku ne faʻa ʻofa mamahi ki he vale, pea mo e hēhē; koeʻuhi kuo takatakai foki ia ʻe he vaivai.

3 Because of this, he must offer sacrifices for sins for the people, as well as for himself.

Pea ko e meʻa ia ʻoku totonu ke ne fai tatau ai ʻae feilaulau maʻae kakai, pea maʻana foki, koeʻuhi ko e angahala.

4 Nobody takes this honor on himself, but he is called by God, just like Aaron was.

Pea ʻoku ʻikai toʻo ʻe ha tangata ʻae ngaue tapu ni kiate ia, ka ko ia kuo ui ʻe he ʻOtua, ʻo hangē ko ʻElone.

5 So also Christ did not glorify himself to be made a high priest, but it was he who said to him, “You are my Son. Today I have become your father.”

Pea pehē, naʻe ʻikai fakaongoongolelei ʻe ia ia ʻe Kalaisi, ke ne hoko ai ko e fungani taulaʻeiki; ka ko ia ne ne pehē kiate ia, “Ko hoku ʻAlo koe, kuo u fakatupu koe he ʻaho ni.”

6 As he says also in another place, "You are a priest for the age (aiōn g165), after the order of Melchizedek."

‌ʻO hangē ko ʻene lea foki ʻe taha, “Ko e taulaʻeiki koe ʻo taʻengata, ʻi he lakanga ʻo Melekiseteki.” (aiōn g165)

7 He, in the days of his flesh, having offered up prayers and petitions with strong crying and tears to him who was able to save him from death, and having been heard for his godly fear,

‌ʻAia ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo hono sino, kuo ne ʻohake ʻae hū mo e kole tāumaʻu, fakataha mo e tangi mālohi mo e loʻimata, kiate ia naʻe faʻa fai ke fakamoʻui ia mei he mate, pea naʻe ongoʻi ia ʻi he meʻa naʻe manavahē ai ia;

8 though he was a Son, yet learned obedience by the things which he suffered.

Neongo ko e ʻAlo ia, ka naʻe akonekina ia ke talangofua ʻe he ngaahi meʻa naʻa ne kātaki;

9 Having been made perfect, he became to all of those who obey him the author of consummate (aiōnios g166) salvation,

Pea kuo fakahaohaoa ia, pea ne hoko ko e tupuʻanga ʻoe moʻui taʻengata kiate kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku talangofua kiate ia; (aiōnios g166)

10 named by God a high priest after the order of Melchizedek.

Kuo ui ʻe he ʻOtua ko e fungani taulaʻeiki ʻi he lakanga ʻo Melekiseteki.

11 About him we have many words to say, and hard to interpret, seeing you have become dull of hearing.

‌ʻAia ʻoku ʻi ai ʻae ngaahi meʻa lahi ʻiate kimautolu ke leaʻaki, pea faingataʻa hono fakamatala, ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻomou taʻeongongofua.

12 For although by this time you should be teachers, you again need to have someone teach you the rudiments of the first principles of the revelations of God. You have come to need milk, and not solid food.

He ko e meʻa ʻi he fuoloa kuo taau mo kimoutolu ke akonaki, ka ʻoku ʻaonga ke toe akonekina ʻakimoutolu pe ko e hā hono ʻuluaki tefito ʻoe ngaahi folofola ʻae ʻOtua; pea kuo mou toe tatau mo ia ʻoku ʻaonga ki ai ʻae huʻahuhu, kae ʻikai ha meʻakai mālohi.

13 For everyone who lives on milk is not experienced in the word of righteousness, for he is a baby.

He ko ia kotoa pē ʻoku fakahuhu ʻi he huʻahuhu, ʻoku taʻepoto ia ʻi he folofola ʻoe māʻoniʻoni: he ko e valevale ia.

14 But solid food is for those who are full grown, who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern good and evil.

Ka ko e meʻakai mālohi, ʻoku ʻanautolu ʻoku matuʻotuʻa, ʻakinautolu ko e meʻa ʻi he maheni ai, ʻi he faʻa ngāueʻaki ʻae ngaahi anga ʻo honau loto, ʻoku nau ʻilo ai ʻae lelei mo e kovi.
