Hebrews 5

1 For every high priest taken from amongst men is established for men in things relating to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins;

Ko ia tohunga nui hoki e tangohia nei i roto i nga tangata, he mea whakatu ratou mo nga mea a nga tangata ki te Atua, hei tapae i nga whakahere, i nga patunga tapu mo nga hara:

2 being able to exercise forbearance towards the ignorant and erring, since he himself also is clothed with infirmity;

E taea e ia te ata hanga ki te hunga e kuware ana, e kotiti ke ana; no te mea e muia ana ano ia e te ngoikore;

3 and, on account of this [infirmity], he ought, even as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins.

Na konei i tika ai, kia rite ki tana mo te iwi tana e tapae ai mona ake, hei whakahere mo nga hara.

4 And no one takes the honour to himself but [as] called by God, even as Aaron also.

E kore ano hoki tetahi e tango i tenei honore ki a ia ano, engari te tangata e karangatia ana e te Atua, e peratia ana me Arona.

5 Thus the Christ also has not glorified himself to be made a high priest; but he who had said to him, Thou art my Son, I have to-day begotten thee.

Waihoki ko te Karaiti kahore ana whakanui i a ia hei tohunga nui; na tera ke i ki ra ki a ia, Ko koe taku Tama, nonaianei koe i whakatupuria ai e ahau.

6 Even as also in another [place] he says, Thou [art] a priest for ever according to the order of Melchisedec. (aiōn g165)

Pera hoki me tana i ki ai i tetahi atu wahi, Hei tohunga koe ake ake i runga i te ritenga o Merekihereke. (aiōn g165)

7 Who in the days of his flesh, having offered up both supplications and entreaties to him who was able to save him out of death, with strong crying and tears; (and having been heard because of his piety; )

I nga ra o tona kikokiko, i tukua e ia he inoi, he karakia, i runga i te karangaranga kaha, i te roimata, ki te Mea kaha ki te whakaora i a ia i te mate, a whakarangona ana mona i wehi ki te Atua;

8 though he were Son, he learned obedience from the things which he suffered;

Ahakoa he Tama ia, i whakaakona ia ki te ngohengohe e ona mamae:

9 and having been perfected, became to all them that obey him, author of eternal salvation; (aiōnios g166)

A ka meinga nei ia kia tino rite, ka waiho ia hei take mo te ora tonu ki te hunga katoa e ngohengohe ana ki a ia; (aiōnios g166)

10 addressed by God [as] high priest according to the order of Melchisedec.

He mea karanga na te Atua hei tohunga nui i runga i te ritenga o Merekihereke.

11 Concerning whom we have much to say, and hard to be interpreted in speaking [of it], since ye are become dull in hearing.

He maha nei a matou korero mo tenei, he uaua ki te whakamarama, he puhoi hoki no koutou ki te whakarongo.

12 For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have again need that [one] should teach you what [are] the elements of the beginning of the oracles of God, and are become such as have need of milk, [and] not of solid food.

I te mea hoki ka tika kia waiho koutou hei kaiwhakaako no te mea ka roa nei, na me tuarua te whakaako i a koutou ki nga timatanga rawatanga o nga kupu a te Atua; me waiu hoki he kai ma koutou, kauaka te kai pakeke.

13 For every one that partakes of milk [is] unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is a babe;

Ko nga tangata katoa hoki e kai ana i te waiu, he kuware ratou ki te kupu o te tika, he kohungahunga hoki.

14 but solid food belongs to full-grown men, who, on account of habit, have their senses exercised for distinguishing both good and evil.

Ma nga pakeke e tika ai te kai maro kua taungatia nei o ratou hinengaro e nga meatanga maha, e wehe ai i te pai, i te kino.
