Ebre 5
1 Se pami moun yo toujou chwazi yon granprèt, lèfini yo mete l' apa pou l' ka fè sèvis Bondye pou yo. Se li menm tou ki pou ofri kado ak bèt pou touye pou peche yo bay Bondye.
Every high priest, taken from among the people, is appointed as their representative in their relations with God, to offer both gifts and sacrifices in expiation of sins.
2 Li toujou gen anpil pasyans ak moun ki pa konnen, ak moun k'ap fè sa yo pa t' dwe fè, paske li menm poutèt pa l', li fèb tou sou anpil pwen.
And he is able to sympathise with the ignorant and deluded, since he is himself subject to weakness,
3 Se sak fè, se pa sèlman pou peche pèp la li gen pou l' ofri bèt pou yo touye bay Bondye, men se pou peche pa l' yo tou, paske li menm tou li fèb.
and is therefore bound to offer sacrifices for sins, not only for the people, but equally so for himself.
4 Pesonn pa ka bay tèt li grad granprèt la. Se Bondye sèlman ki ka rele yon moun nan plas sa a, jan sa te fèt pou Arawon.
Nor does anyone take that high office on themselves, until they have been called to do so by God, as Aaron was.
5 Se konsa, Kris la pa t' chwazi tèt li pou l' te resevwa grad granprèt la. Okontrè, li resevwa l' nan men Bondye ki te di li: Ou se pitit mwen, depi jòdi a se mwen ki papa ou.
In the same way, even the Christ did not take the honour of the high priesthood on himself, but he was appointed by him who said to him – “You are my Son; this day I have become your Father”;
and on another occasion also – “You are a priest for all time of the order of Melchizedek.” (aiōn g165)
7 Pandan Jezi t'ap viv sou latè, li te lapriyè Bondye, li te fè demann li avèk gwo rèl ak dlo nan je bay Bondye, sèl moun ki te kapab sove l' anba lanmò. Bondye koute l', paske li te soumèt devan Bondye.
Jesus, in the days of his earthly life, offered prayers and supplications, with earnest cries and with tears, to him who was able to save him from death; and he was heard because of his devout submission.
8 Atout li te pitit Bondye, li vin konnen sa ki rele yon moun obeyisan, avèk tout soufrans li soufri yo.
Son though he was, he learned obedience from his sufferings;
9 Lè li fin bon nèt, li tounen yon delivrans pou tout moun ki obeyi l', yon delivrans k'ap delivre yo pou tout tan, (aiōnios g166)
and, being made perfect, he became to all those who obey him the source of eternal salvation, (aiōnios g166)
10 paske lè sa a, Bondye deklare se yon granprèt menm jan ak Mèlkisedèk li ye.
while God himself pronounced him a high priest of the order of Melchizedek.
11 Mwen gen anpil bagay pou m' ta di nou sou sa ankò. Men, se bagay ki difisil anpil pou esplike nou, paske nou lou toujou nan konprann nou.
Now on this subject I have much to say, but it is difficult to explain it to you, because you have shown yourselves so slow to learn.
12 Depi tout tan sa a, se pou n' te fò deja tankou moun k'ap moutre nou yo. Men, okontrè, se bezwen nou bezwen toujou pou moun montre nou bagay ki pi fasil yo, premye konesans nan pawòl Bondye a. Se ti lèt nou bezwen bwè toujou, nou poko ka manje gwo manje.
For whereas, considering the time that has elapsed, you ought to be teaching others, you still need someone to teach you the alphabet of the divine revelation, and need again to be fed with milk instead of with “solid food.”
13 Se timoun ki nan bwè lèt, paske timoun pa gen kont esperyans pou konnen sa ki bon ak sa ki pa bon.
For everyone who still has to take milk knows nothing of the teaching of righteousness; they are a mere infant.
14 Okontrè, se granmoun ki manje gwo manje, paske granmoun yo konn jije, yo konn fè diferans ant sa ki bon ak sa ki mal.
But solid food is for Christians of mature faith – those whose faculties have been trained by practice to distinguish right from wrong.
