Hebræos 5
1 Omnis namque Pontifex ex hominibus assumptus, pro hominibus constituitur in iis, quae sunt ad Deum, ut offerat dona, et sacrificia pro peccatis:
Now every high priest taken from among men is appointed to act on behalf of 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:
being able to deal gently with those who sin in ignorance and go astray, since he himself is also subject to weakness.
3 et propterea debet, quemadmodum pro populo, ita etiam et pro semetipso offerre pro peccatis.
Because of this he must offer sacrifices for his own sins as well, just as he does for the people's.
4 Nec quisquam sumit sibi honorem, sed qui vocatur a Deo, tamquam Aaron.
Also, no one receives this honor on his own, but upon being called by God, just like Aaron.
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 Christ did not exalt Himself to become High Priest, but it was He[F] who said to Him[S], “You are my Son; today I have begotten You.”
6 Quemadmodum et in alio loco dicit: Tu es sacerdos in aeternum, secundum ordinem Melchisedech. (aiōn g165)
Just as He[F] also says in another place, “You are a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.” (aiōn g165)
7 Qui in diebus carnis suae preces, supplicationesque ad eum, qui possit illum salvum facere a morte cum clamore valido, et lacrymis offerens, exauditus est pro sua reverentia:
He[S], in the days of His flesh, having offered up both prayers and supplications, with a loud cry and tears, to the One who was able to save Him from death, and having been answered because of His godly fear,
8 Et quidem cum esset Filius Dei, didicit ex iis, quae passus est, obedientiam:
although being SON, He learned obedience by the things which He suffered.
And having been completed He became the Source of eternal salvation for all those obeying Him, (aiōnios g166)
10 appellatus a Deo pontifex iuxta ordinem Melchisedech.
having been designated by God as High Priest ‘according to the order of Melchizedek’;
11 De quo nobis grandis sermo, et interpretabilis ad dicendum: quoniam imbecilles facti estis ad audiendum.
concerning whom we have much to say, but it is hard to explain, since you have become sluggish in hearing.
12 Etenim cum deberetis magistri esse propter tempus: rursum indigetis ut vos doceamini quae sint elementa exordii sermonum Dei: et facti estis quibus lacte opus sit, non solido cibo.
Really, because although by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the elementary principles of God's oracles all over again; you have come to the point of needing milk, not solid food!
13 Omnis enim, qui lactis est particeps, expers est sermonis iustitiae, parvulus enim est.
Surely; whoever lives on milk is an infant, and therefore unskilled in the Word of righteousness.
14 Perfectorum autem est solidus cibus: eorum, qui pro consuetudine exercitatos habent sensus ad discretionem boni ac mali.
On the other hand, solid food is for the mature, those who by habitual use have trained their senses to distinguish good from bad.
