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.

For every high priest who is from among men, on the behalf of men, standeth over those things which are of Aloha, to offer oblation and sacrifices for sins:

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

and (is one) who can humble himself, and suffer with those who know not and err, since he also himself with infirmity is clothed.

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

And on this account he is obligated as on the behalf of the people, so (also) for himself, to offer up for his sins.

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

Yet no man to himself taketh the honour, but he who is called by Aloha, as of Aharun.

5 So also Christ didn’t 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.”

Thus also the Meshiha glorified not himself to be a High Priest; but He who said to him, Thou art my Son, I to-day have begotten thee.

6 As he says also in another place, “You are a priest forever, after the order of Melchizedek.” (aiōn g165)

So, too, in another place he saith, Thou art the Priest for ever, after the likeness of Malki-Zedek. (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,

When also with flesh he had been clothed, prayer and supplication, with a powerful cry, and with tears, he offered up unto Him who was able from death to revive him, and was heard.

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

And though he was the Son, yet from the fear and the sufferings which he sustained he learned obedience.

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

And so was he perfected, and became unto all them who obey him the Cause of eternal salvation; (aiōnios g166)

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

and was named by God, The High Priest after the likeness of Malki-Zedek.

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

But concerning this Malki-Zedek himself, we have much discourse to utter, and hard to explain, because ye are infirm in your hearing.

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.

For ye ought to be teachers, on account of the time by you in learning; but now ye have need again to be taught those which are the first scriptures of the beginningwords of Aloha; and need have ye for milk, and not for solid food.

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

But every one whose food is milk is not versed in the doctrine of righteousness, because he is a babe.

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.

But for the perfect is solid food; those, (namely, ) who, because exercised, have trained their senses to distinguish the good and the evil.
