< 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.
Woyii Ɔsɔfopanyin biara fii nnipa bi mu na wasi wɔn anan mu de wɔn akyɛde ne wɔn bɔne ho afɔre asom Onyankopɔn.
2 The high priest can deal gently with those who are ignorant and going astray, because he himself is also surrounded with weakness.
Esiane sɛ nʼankasa yɛ mmerɛw wɔ akwan ahorow pii so no nti, otumi tɔ ne bo ase ma wɔn a wonnim na wɔyɛ mfomso no.
3 Because of this, he must offer sacrifices for sins for the people, as well as for himself.
Ne mmerɛwyɛ nti, sɛ ɔrebɔ bɔne ho afɔre a, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔbɔ ma ne ho ne afoforo nso.
4 Nobody takes this honor on himself, but he is called by God, just like Aaron was.
Obiara ntumi nyi ne ho mfa nhyɛ ne ho anuonyam sɛ ɔyɛ Ɔsɔfopanyin. Onyankopɔn frɛ nko na onipa nam so bɛyɛ Ɔsɔfopanyin sɛnea wɔfrɛɛ Aaron no.
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.”
Saa ara nso na Kristo annye anto ne ho so sɛ ɔyɛ Ɔsɔfopanyin amfa anhyɛ ne ho anuonyam. Na mmom Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Woyɛ me Ba; nnɛ, mayɛ wʼAgya.”
6 As he says also in another place, “You are a priest forever, after the order of Melchizedek.” (aiōn g165)
Ɔsan kaa wɔ baabi foforo se, “Wobɛyɛ ɔsɔfo akosi daa sɛnea Melkisedek asɔfokwan nhyehyɛe te no.” (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,
Yesu baa ɔhonam mu wɔ asase so no, ɔbɔɔ mpae nam nkotosrɛ so de nʼabisade too Onyankopɔn a obetumi agye no afi owu mu no anim. Esiane sɛ odwo na ɔde ne ho nyinaa som no no nti, Onyankopɔn tiee no.
8 though he was a Son, yet learned obedience by the things which he suffered.
Ɛwɔ mu sɛ na ɔyɛ Onyankopɔn Ba de, nanso ɔnam nʼamanehunu so suaa ahobrɛase.
9 Having been made perfect, he became to all of those who obey him the author of eternal salvation, (aiōnios g166)
Na owiee pɛyɛ no, wɔn a wotie no no nam ne so nya nkwagye a enni awiei, (aiōnios g166)
10 named by God a high priest after the order of Melchizedek.
na Onyankopɔn ada no adi sɛ ɔyɛ Ɔsɔfopanyin sɛnea Melkisedek asɔfokwan nhyehyɛe te no.
11 About him we have many words to say, and hard to interpret, seeing you have become dull of hearing.
Yɛwɔ eyi ho nsɛm pii ka, nanso emu kyerɛkyerɛ yɛ den, efisɛ mo ntease yɛ den.
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.
Moayɛ nkyerɛkyerɛ adwuma no akyɛ, nanso ɛsɛ sɛ munya obi ma ɔkyerɛkyerɛ mo Onyankopɔn ho asɛm fi ne mfiase. Anka ɛsɛ sɛ saa bere yi mudi aduan a ɛyɛ den, nanso nufusu na eye ma mo.
13 For everyone who lives on milk is not experienced in the word of righteousness, for he is a baby.
Obiara a nufusu ye ma no no da so yɛ akokoaa a onnim nea eye ne nea enye.
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.
Aduan a ɛyɛ den ye ma mpanyimfo a wɔatetew wɔn na wɔahu nsonoe a ɛda papa ne bɔne ntam no.
