Hebrew 5
1 Kais sie mwet tol fulat solla sin mwet uh ac srisrngiyuki tuh elan aolulos in kulansap nu sin God, in orek kisa ac mwe sang ke sripen ma koluk lalos.
Every high priest is chosen from the people and is appointed to work for the people as they relate to God. He presents to God both their gifts and sacrifices for their sins.
2 Ke sripen el sifacna el munas in ouiya pus, pwanang el ku in mongfisrasr nu sin mwet su nikin ac oru ma tafongla.
The high priest understands how ignorant and deluded people feel because he also experiences the same kind of human weaknesses.
3 Ac ke sripen el sifacna el munas, el enenu in orek mwe kisa, tia nu ke ma koluk lun mwet lal mukena, a nu ke ma koluk pac lal sifacna.
As a result he has to offer sacrifices for his sins as well as for those of the people.
4 Wangin sie mwet sifacna sulella in eis wal lun mwet tol fulat. Pang lun God mukena pa ac sulela sie mwet nu ke mwet tol fulat — oana ke tuh oayang nu sel Aaron.
No one can take the position of high priest for himself; he must be chosen by God, just like Aaron was.
5 Oapana Christ — el tia sifacna sulella nu ke wal lun mwet tol fulat. A God pa srisrngilya ke El fahk mu, “Kom Wen nutik; Misenge nga Papa lac tomom.”
In just the same way Christ did not honor himself by becoming high priest. It was God who said to him, “You are my Son. Today I have become your Father.”
6 El oayapa fahk in sie pac verse, “Kom ac fah sie mwet tol ma pahtpat, In oana Melchizedek.” (aiōn g165)
In another verse, God says, “You are a priest forever, following the order of Melchizedek.” (aiōn g165)
7 Ke Jesus el moul muta faclu, el pre ac siyuk ke pusra lulap ac tung nu sin God, su ku in molella liki misa. Ac ke sripen pusisel ac inse pwaye lal, God El porongel.
Jesus, while he was here in human form, prayed and appealed with loud cries and tears to God, the one who was able to save him from death. Jesus was heard because of his respect for God.
8 Tusruktu el ne Wen nutin God, el lotela in akos ke keok lal.
Even though he was God's Son, Jesus learned through suffering what obedience really means.
9 Ke el aksafyela ma nukewa supweyukme el nu kac, el pa ku in sang molela ma pahtpat nu selos nukewa su aksol, (aiōnios g166)
When his experience was complete, he became the source of eternal salvation to everyone who does what he says, (aiōnios g166)
10 ac God El fahkla mu el sie mwet tol fulat, in oru orekma lun mwet tol oana Melchizedek.
having been designated by God as a high priest according to the order of Melchizedek.
11 Yohk ma kut ku in fahk ke ma se inge, tusruktu ac upa in aketeyuki nu suwos, mweyen kowos arulana selalkung.
We have much to say about Jesus, and it's hard to explain because you don't seem able to understand!
12 Fal tari pacl tuh kowos in mwet luti lac — a kowos srakna enenu mwet in luti kowos ke mwe luti ma fal nu sin mwet ma tufahna lohng ke kas lun God. Fal kowos in mongo ke mwe mongo keke, a kowos srakna nim titi.
By now you should have had enough time to become teachers, but you need someone to teach you the fundamentals, the first principles of God's word. It's like you need to go back to baby milk instead of solid food!
13 Kutena mwet su srakna nim titi, el srakna tulik srisrik, ac wangin etu lal ke ma pwaye ac ma tia pwaye.
Those who drink baby milk don't have the experience of living the right way—they're just babies.
14 A mongo ma keke u ma nu sin mwet matu, su ke orekma ac pahla lal, el ku in akilen inmasrlon ma wo ac ma koluk.
Solid food is for grown-ups—those who by always using their brains have learned to tell the difference between good and evil.
