Hebrews 5

1 Every for high priest from among men being taken on behalf of men is appointed [in] the [things] relating to God that he may offer gifts both and sacrifices for sins,

For every high priest, chosen from among people, is appointed to act on the behalf of people in the things concerning God, so that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins.

2 to exercise forbearance being able with those being ignorant and with those going astray, since also he himself is encompassed by weakness;

He can deal gently with those who are ignorant and who have been deceived, because he himself is subject to weakness.

3 and because of (this *N+kO) he is obligated, even as for the people so also for himself to offer sacrifices (for *N+kO) sins.

Because of this, he also is required to offer sacrifices for his own sins, just as he does for the people's sins.

4 And not upon himself anyone takes the honor but rather (the [one] *k) being called by God (just as *N+kO) also Aaron.

It is not for himself that anyone takes this honor. Instead, he is called by God, just as Aaron was.

5 So also Christ not Himself did glorify to become a high priest but the [One] having said to Him: Son of Mine are You yourself, I myself today have begotten You.

In the same way, neither did Christ honor himself by making himself high priest. Instead, the one speaking to him said, “You are my Son; today I have become your Father.”

6 even as also in another [place] He says: You [are] a priest to the age according to the order of Melchizedek. (aiōn g165)

It is just as he also says in another place, “You are a priest forever after the manner of Melchizedek.” (aiōn g165)

7 [He] in the days of the flesh of Him prayers both and supplications to the [One] being able to save Him from death with crying loud and tears having offered up and having been heard because of reverence,

During the days of his flesh, Christ offered up both prayers and requests with loud cries and tears to God, the one able to save him from death, and he was heard because of his godly life.

8 though being a Son, He learned from [the] things He suffered obedience,

Even though he was a son, he learned obedience from what he suffered.

9 and having been perfected He became to all those obeying Him [the] author of salvation eternal, (aiōnios g166)

He was made perfect and became, for everyone who obeys him, the cause of eternal salvation. (aiōnios g166)

10 having been designated by God a high priest according to the order of Melchizedek.

He was designated by God as high priest after the manner of Melchizedek.

11 Concerning this [there is] much from us speech and difficult in interpretation to speak, since sluggish you have become in the hearings.

We have much to say about Jesus, but it is hard to explain since you have become dull in hearing.

12 Even for you ought to be teachers by the time, again need of you have [one] to teach you (what [is] *N+kO) the principles of the beginning of the oracles of God and you have become need [those] having of milk and not of solid food.

For though by this time you should be teachers, you still have need for someone to teach you the basic principles of God's messages. You need milk, not solid food!

13 Everyone for who is partaking [only] of milk [is] inexperienced in [the] word of righteousness; an infant for he is;

For anyone who only takes milk is inexperienced with the message of righteousness, because he is still a little child.

14 [for the] mature however is the solid food for those through constant use the senses trained who are having [ability] to distinguish good both and evil.

But solid food is for adults. These are those who because of their maturity have their understanding trained for distinguishing good from evil.
