< عِبرانِيّين 5 >

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. ١ 1
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.
وَلِكَوْنِهِ، هُوَ أَيْضاً، مُعَرَّضاً لِلضَّعْفِ الْبَشَرِيِّ دَائِماً، كَانَ يُمْكِنُهُ أَنْ يَعْطِفَ عَلَى الْجُهَّالِ وَالضَّالِّينَ. ٢ 2
The high priest understands how ignorant and deluded people feel because he also experiences the same kind of human weaknesses.
وَبِسَبَبِ ضَعْفِهِ، كَانَ مِنْ وَاجِبِهِ أَيْضاً أَنْ يُكَفِّرَ عَنْ خَطَايَاهُ الْخَاصَّةِ كَمَا يُكَفِّرُ عَنْ خَطَايَا الآخَرِينَ. ٣ 3
As a result he has to offer sacrifices for his sins as well as for those of the people.
وَلَمْ يَكُنْ أَحَدٌ يَتَّخِذُ لِنَفْسِهِ هَذِهِ الْوَظِيفَةَ الجَّلِيلَةَ مَتَى أَرَادَ، بَلْ كَانَ يَتَّخِذُهَا مَنْ دَعَاهُ اللهُ إِلَيْهَا، كَمَا دَعَا هرُونَ. ٤ 4
No one can take the position of high priest for himself; he must be chosen by God, just like Aaron was.
كَذَلِكَ الْمَسِيحُ لَمْ يُرَفِّعْ نَفْسَهُ حَتَّى يَصِيرَ رَئِيسَ كَهَنَةٍ، بَلْ إِنَّ اللهَ هُوَ الَّذِي قَالَ لَهُ: «أَنْتَ ابْنِي. أَنَا الْيَوْمَ وَلَدْتُكَ!» ٥ 5
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.”
وَخَاطَبَهُ فِي مَوْضِعٍ آخَرَ بِقَوْلِهِ: «أَنْتَ كَاهِنٌ إِلَى الأَبَدِ عَلَى رُتْبَةِ مَلْكِيصَادَقَ!» (aiōn g165) ٦ 6
In another verse, God says, “You are a priest forever, following the order of Melchizedek.” (aiōn g165)
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. ٧ 7
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.
فَمَعَ كَوْنِهِ ابْناً تَعَلَّمَ الطَّاعَةَ مِنَ الآلامِ الَّتِي قَاسَاهَا. ٨ 8
Even though he was God's Son, Jesus learned through suffering what obedience really means.
وَبِذلِكَ، أَصْبَحَ مُؤَهَّلاً لِمُهِمَّتِهِ، فَصَارَ لِجَمِيعِ الَّذِينَ يُطِيعُونَهُ مَصْدَراً لِلْخَلاصِ الأَبَدِيِّ. (aiōnios g166) ٩ 9
When his experience was complete, he became the source of eternal salvation to everyone who does what he says, (aiōnios g166)
وَقَدْ أَيَّدَ اللهُ ذَلِكَ، فَأَعْلَنَهُ رَئِيسَ كَهَنَةٍ عَلَى رُتْبَةِ مَلْكِيصَادَقَ. ١٠ 10
having been designated by God as a high priest according to the order of Melchizedek.
بِخُصُوصِ رَئِيسَ الْكَهَنَةِ هَذَا، عِنْدِي كَلامٌ كَثِيرٌ، وَلكِنَّهُ صَعْبُ التَّفْسِيرِ! إِذْ يَبْدُو أَنَّكُمْ تُعَانُونَ بُطْئاً فِي الْفَهْمِ. ١١ 11
We have much to say about Jesus, and it's hard to explain because you don't seem able to understand!
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. ١٢ 12
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!
وَكُلُّ مَنْ يَتَنَاوَلُ اللَّبَنَ، يَكُونُ عَدِيمَ الْخِبْرَةِ فِي التَّعْلِيمِ الْقَوِيمِ، لأَنَّهُ مَازَالَ طِفْلاً غَيْرَ نَاضِجٍ. ١٣ 13
Those who drink baby milk don't have the experience of living the right way—they're just babies.
أَمَّا النَّاضِجُونَ رُوحِيًّا، فَهُمْ قَادِرُونَ عَلَى تَنَاوُلِ الطَّعَامِ الْقَوِيِّ: لأَنَّ حَوَاسَّهُمْ قَدْ تَدَرَّبَتْ، بِالْمُمَارَسَةِ الصَّحِيحَةِ، عَلَى التَّمْيِيزِ بَيْنَ الْخَيْرِ وَالشَّرِّ. ١٤ 14
Solid food is for grown-ups—those who by always using their brains have learned to tell the difference between good and evil.
