عِبرانِيّين 5

١ 1 فَإِنَّ الْكَاهِنَ الأَعْلَى كَانَ يُؤْخَذُ مِنْ بَيْنِ النَّاسِ، وَيُعَيَّنُ لِلْقِيَامِ بِمُهِمَّتِهِ نِيَابَةً عَنْهُمْ فِيمَا يَخُصُّ عَلاقَتَهُمْ بِاللهِ. وَذَلِكَ لِكَيْ يَرْفَعَ إِلَى اللهِ التَّقْدِمَاتِ وَالذَّبَائِحَ، تَكْفِيراً عَنِ الْخَطَايَا.

For every high priest taken from among men, is ordained for men in the things that appertain to God, that he may offer up gifts and sacrifices for sins:

٢ 2 وَلِكَوْنِهِ، هُوَ أَيْضاً، مُعَرَّضاً لِلضَّعْفِ الْبَشَرِيِّ دَائِماً، كَانَ يُمْكِنُهُ أَنْ يَعْطِفَ عَلَى الْجُهَّالِ وَالضَّالِّينَ.

Who can have compassion on them that are ignorant and that err: because he himself also is compassed with infirmity.

٣ 3 وَبِسَبَبِ ضَعْفِهِ، كَانَ مِنْ وَاجِبِهِ أَيْضاً أَنْ يُكَفِّرَ عَنْ خَطَايَاهُ الْخَاصَّةِ كَمَا يُكَفِّرُ عَنْ خَطَايَا الآخَرِينَ.

And therefore he ought, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins.

٤ 4 وَلَمْ يَكُنْ أَحَدٌ يَتَّخِذُ لِنَفْسِهِ هَذِهِ الْوَظِيفَةَ الجَّلِيلَةَ مَتَى أَرَادَ، بَلْ كَانَ يَتَّخِذُهَا مَنْ دَعَاهُ اللهُ إِلَيْهَا، كَمَا دَعَا هرُونَ.

Neither doth any man take the honour to himself, but he that is called by God, as Aaron was.

٥ 5 كَذَلِكَ الْمَسِيحُ لَمْ يُرَفِّعْ نَفْسَهُ حَتَّى يَصِيرَ رَئِيسَ كَهَنَةٍ، بَلْ إِنَّ اللهَ هُوَ الَّذِي قَالَ لَهُ: «أَنْتَ ابْنِي. أَنَا الْيَوْمَ وَلَدْتُكَ!»

So Christ also did not glorify himself, that he might be made a high priest: but he that said unto him: Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.

٦ 6 وَخَاطَبَهُ فِي مَوْضِعٍ آخَرَ بِقَوْلِهِ: «أَنْتَ كَاهِنٌ إِلَى الأَبَدِ عَلَى رُتْبَةِ مَلْكِيصَادَقَ!» (aiōn g165)

As he saith also in another place: Thou art a priest for ever, according to the order of Melchisedech. (aiōn g165)

٧ 7 وَالْمَسِيحُ، فِي أَثْنَاءِ حَيَاتِهِ الْبَشَرِيَّةِ عَلَى الأَرْضِ، رَفَعَ أَدْعِيَةً وَتَضَرُّعَاتٍ مُقْتَرِنَةً بِصُرَاخٍ شَدِيدٍ وَدُمُوعٍ، إِلَى الْقَادِرِ أَنْ يُخَلِّصَهُ مِنَ الْمَوْتِ. وَقَدْ لَبَّى اللهُ طَلَبَهُ إِكْرَاماً لِتَقْوَاهُ.

Who in the days of his flesh, with a strong cry and tears, offering up prayers and supplications to him that was able to save him from death, was heard for his reverence.

٨ 8 فَمَعَ كَوْنِهِ ابْناً تَعَلَّمَ الطَّاعَةَ مِنَ الآلامِ الَّتِي قَاسَاهَا.

And whereas indeed he was the Son of God, he learned obedience by the things which he suffered:

٩ 9 وَبِذلِكَ، أَصْبَحَ مُؤَهَّلاً لِمُهِمَّتِهِ، فَصَارَ لِجَمِيعِ الَّذِينَ يُطِيعُونَهُ مَصْدَراً لِلْخَلاصِ الأَبَدِيِّ. (aiōnios g166)

And being consummated, he became, to all that obey him, the cause of eternal salvation. (aiōnios g166)

١٠ 10 وَقَدْ أَيَّدَ اللهُ ذَلِكَ، فَأَعْلَنَهُ رَئِيسَ كَهَنَةٍ عَلَى رُتْبَةِ مَلْكِيصَادَقَ.

Called by God a high priest according to the order of Melchisedech.

١١ 11 بِخُصُوصِ رَئِيسَ الْكَهَنَةِ هَذَا، عِنْدِي كَلامٌ كَثِيرٌ، وَلكِنَّهُ صَعْبُ التَّفْسِيرِ! إِذْ يَبْدُو أَنَّكُمْ تُعَانُونَ بُطْئاً فِي الْفَهْمِ.

Of whom we have much to say, and hard to be intelligibly uttered: because you are become weak to hear.

١٢ 12 كَانَ يَجِبُ أَنْ تَكُونُوا الآنَ قَادِرِينَ عَلَى تَعْلِيمِ الآخَرِينَ، بَعْدَمَا مَضَى زَمَانٌ طَوِيلٌ عَلَى اهْتِدَائِكُمْ. وَلَكِنَّكُمْ مَازِلْتُمْ بِحَاجَةٍ إِلَى مَنْ يُعَلِّمُكُمْ حَتَّى الْمَبَادِئَ الأَسَاسَ لأَقْوَالِ اللهِ. هَا قَدْ عُدْتُمْ مِنْ جَدِيدٍ تَحْتَاجُونَ إِلَى اللَّبَنِ! فَأَنْتُمْ غَيْرُ قَادِرِينَ عَلَى هَضْمِ الطَّعَامِ الْقَوِيِّ.

For whereas for the time you ought to be masters, you have need to be taught again what are the first elements of the words of God: and you are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.

١٣ 13 وَكُلُّ مَنْ يَتَنَاوَلُ اللَّبَنَ، يَكُونُ عَدِيمَ الْخِبْرَةِ فِي التَّعْلِيمِ الْقَوِيمِ، لأَنَّهُ مَازَالَ طِفْلاً غَيْرَ نَاضِجٍ.

For every one that is a partaker of milk, is unskillful in the word of justice: for he is a little child.

١٤ 14 أَمَّا النَّاضِجُونَ رُوحِيًّا، فَهُمْ قَادِرُونَ عَلَى تَنَاوُلِ الطَّعَامِ الْقَوِيِّ: لأَنَّ حَوَاسَّهُمْ قَدْ تَدَرَّبَتْ، بِالْمُمَارَسَةِ الصَّحِيحَةِ، عَلَى التَّمْيِيزِ بَيْنَ الْخَيْرِ وَالشَّرِّ.

But strong meat is for the perfect; for them who by custom have their senses exercised to the discerning of good and evil.
