Vēstule Ebrējiem 5
1 Jo ikviens augsts priesteris, kas no cilvēkiem ņemts, top iecelts pār cilvēkiem tanīs lietās, kas priekš Dieva jādara, lai tas upurē dāvanas un upurus par grēkiem,
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 Un var iežēloties par tiem, kas nezin un alojās, tāpēc ka viņš pats arīdzan ar vājību apņemts.
And he is able to sympathise with the ignorant and deluded, since he is himself subject to weakness,
3 Un šās vājības dēļ viņam jāupurē par grēkiem, tā kā priekš tiem ļaudīm, tāpat arī priekš sevis paša.
and is therefore bound to offer sacrifices for sins, not only for the people, but equally so for himself.
4 Un neviens neņem pats sev to godu, bet kā kurš no Dieva top aicināts, tā kā arī Ārons.
Nor does anyone take that high office on themselves, until they have been called to do so by God, as Aaron was.
5 Tāpat arī Kristus nav pats Sevi pagodinājis, ka taptu par augstu priesteri, bet Tas, kas uz Viņu ir runājis: Tu esi Mans Dēls, šodien Es Tevi esmu dzemdinājis.
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 Šis (Kristus) Savās miesas dienās, lūgšanas un aizlūgšanas ar stipru brēkšanu un asarām ir upurējis Tam, kas Viņu no nāves varēja izglābt, un ir paklausīts, tāpēc ka Viņš Dievu turēja godā.
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 Un jebšu Dēls būdams, tomēr Viņš paklausību ir mācījies caur to, ko ir cietis.
Son though he was, he learned obedience from his sufferings;
9 Un pilnīgs tapis, Viņš ir palicis visiem, kas Viņam paklausa, par mūžīgas dzīvošanas gādātāju; (aiōnios g166)
and, being made perfect, he became to all those who obey him the source of eternal salvation, (aiōnios g166)
10 Un no Dieva ir nosaukts par augstu priesteri pēc Melhizedeka kārtas.
while God himself pronounced him a high priest of the order of Melchizedek.
11 Par to mums būtu daudz ko runāt, to izstāstīt ir grūti, tāpēc ka jūs kūtri palikuši pie uzklausīšanās.
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 Jo jums, kam sen laikiem pienākas būt mācītājiem, atkal vajag, ka topat mācīti, kādas ir tās pirmās Dieva vārdu sākuma mācības; un esat palikuši par tādiem, kam piena vajag un ne cietas barības.
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 Jo ikviens, kas tikai pienu bauda, tas vēl ir nesapraša iekš tā taisnības vārda, jo tas ir bērns.
For everyone who still has to take milk knows nothing of the teaching of righteousness; they are a mere infant.
14 Bet pieaugušiem vajag stipra ēdiena, tiem, kam prāts radināts un izmācīts, izšķirt labu un ļaunu.
But solid food is for Christians of mature faith – those whose faculties have been trained by practice to distinguish right from wrong.
