ヘブル人への手紙 5
1 蓋総て大司祭は人の中より選まれ、神に関する事に就きて人々の為に供物と贖罪の犠牲とを献ぐるの任を受け、
FOR, every high-priest taken from among men, is constituted on behalf of men for those services which relate to God, that he should offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins:
2 自らも弱點に圍まれたる者なれば、知らざる人、迷へる人を思遣る事を得ざるべからず。
being able to feel tenderly for the ignorant and erroneous; forasmuch as he is himself encompassed with infirmity.
3 是に由りて、民の為に為すが如く、己が為にも亦贖罪の献物を為すべきなり。
And on this account he ought, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer sacrifice for sins.
4 又神に召されたる事アアロンの如くならずしては、何人も此尊き位を自ら取る者なし、
And no man assumes to himself this honour, but he who is called of God, even as Aaron was.
5 斯の如く、キリストも大司祭たらんとして自ら進み給ひしには非ず、之に對ひて、「汝は我子なり、我今日汝を生めり」と曰ひしもの、之を立て給ひしなり。
So Christ also did not himself assume the glory to become high-priest, but he gave it who spake to him, “Thou art my Son; I have this day begotten thee.”
As he saith also in another passage, “Thou art priest forever after the order of Melchisedec;” (aiōn g165)
7 即ちキリストは肉身に在しし時、己を死より救ひ給ふべきものに對ひて、祈祷と懇願とを献ぐるに、大いなる叫と涙とを以てし給ひしかば、其恭しさによりて聴容れられ給へり。
who in the days of his flesh, with strong crying and tears, having offered up prayers and supplications to him who was able to save him from death, and being heard for his reverential awe,
8 且（神の）御子に在しながら、受け給ひし苦によりて從順を學び給ひ、
though he was a son, he learned obedience from the things which he suffered:
and complete himself, he became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey him; (aiōnios g166)
10 神よりメルキセデクの如き大司祭と稱せられ給ひしなり。
publicly proclaimed of God high-priest after the order of Melchisedec.
11 我等はこれに就きて語るべき事多けれども、汝等聞くに鈍く成りたれば、明に言ひ難し。
Concerning whom we have much to discourse, and of difficult interpretation to explain, seeing ye are dull of hearing.
12 蓋汝等時の久しきよりすれば、教師とも成るべきを、更に神の御言の初歩を教へらるるを要し、固き食物ならで、乳を要する者と成れり。
For though ye ought for the time to be teachers of others, ye have again need that some one teach you the leading principles of the oracles of God; and are become as those who need milk, and not solid food.
13 抑乳を要する者は嬰兒なれば、義の教へに達する事を得ず、
For every one who useth milk is inexperienced in the word of righteousness: for he is an infant.
14 固き食物は大人のもの、即ち慣習によりて善惡を弁別するに熟達せる人々のものなり。
But solid nourishment is proper for grown men, even as many as by habit have their organs of perception exercised for the discernment both of good and evil.
