Hebræos 5
1 Omnis namque Pontifex ex hominibus assumptus, pro hominibus constituitur in iis, quæ sunt ad Deum, ut offerat dona, et sacrificia pro peccatis:
For every high priest, being taken from amongst men, is appointed for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins.
2 qui condolere possit iis, qui ignorant, et errant: quoniam et ipse circumdatus est infirmitate:
The high priest can deal gently with those who are ignorant and going astray, because he himself is also surrounded with weakness.
3 et propterea debet, quemadmodum pro populo, ita etiam et pro semetipso offerre pro peccatis.
Because of this, he must offer sacrifices for sins for the people, as well as for himself.
4 Nec quisquam sumit sibi honorem, sed qui vocatur a Deo, tamquam Aaron.
Nobody takes this honour on himself, but he is called by God, just like Aaron was.
5 Sic et Christus non semetipsum clarificavit ut pontifex fieret: sed qui locutus est ad eum: Filius meus es tu, ego hodie genui te.
So also Messiah didn’t glorify himself to be made a high priest, but it was he who said to him, “You are my Son. Today I have become your father.”
6 Quemadmodum et in alio loco dicit: Tu es sacerdos in æternum, secundum ordinem Melchisedech. (aiōn g165)
As he says also in another place, “You are a priest forever, after the order of Melchizedek.” (aiōn g165)
7 Qui in diebus carnis suæ preces, supplicationesque ad eum, qui possit illum salvum facere a morte cum clamore valido, et lacrymis offerens, exauditus est pro sua reverentia:
He, in the days of his flesh, having offered up prayers and petitions with strong crying and tears to him who was able to save him from death, and having been heard for his godly fear,
8 Et quidem cum esset Filius Dei, didicit ex iis, quæ passus est, obedientiam:
though he was a Son, yet learnt obedience by the things which he suffered.
Having been made perfect, he became to all of those who obey him the author of eternal salvation, (aiōnios g166)
10 appellatus a Deo pontifex iuxta ordinem Melchisedech.
named by God a high priest after the order of Melchizedek.
11 De quo nobis grandis sermo, et ininterpretabilis ad dicendum: quoniam imbecilles facti estis ad audiendum.
About him we have many words to say, and hard to interpret, seeing you have become dull of hearing.
12 Etenim cum deberetis magistri esse propter tempus: rursum indigetis ut vos doceamini quæ sint elementa exordii sermonum Dei: et facti estis quibus lacte opus sit, non solido cibo.
For although by this time you should be teachers, you again need to have someone teach you the rudiments of the first principles of the revelations of God. You have come to need milk, and not solid food.
13 Omnis enim, qui lactis est particeps, expers est sermonis iustitiæ, parvulus enim est.
For everyone who lives on milk is not experienced in the word of righteousness, for he is a baby.
14 Perfectorum autem est solidus cibus: eorum, qui pro consuetudine exercitatos habent sensus ad discretionem boni ac mali.
But solid food is for those who are full grown, who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern good and evil.
