Hebru 5

1 Hlang lamkah a tuek khosoihham boeih tah Pathen taengah hlang yuengla a tuek. Te daengah ni nawnnah neh tholh yuengla hmueih khaw a hlut.

For every high priest chosen from time to time from among men is appointed on behalf of men, in matters relating to God, to offer both gifts and sacrifices on behalf of sins.

2 Mangvawt rhoek neh taengphael rhoek te a rhen thai dongah amah khaw vawtthoeknah neh vueinan uh.

He is able to deal gently with the ignorant and erring, since he himself also is encompassed with moral weakness,

3 Te dongah tholh kongah nawn ham te pilnam ham neh amah ham khaw a kuek.

and because of this weakness he is bound to offer sin-offerings not only for the people, but also for himself.

4 Te phoeiah khat khat loh a thangpomnah te a loh moenih. Tedae Aaron bangla Pathen long ni a khue van.

Again no one takes this honorable office for himself, but he is called by God, just as Aaron was.

5 Khrih khaw khosoihham la om ham amah neh amah a thangpom tangloeng moenih. Tedae anih te, “Nang tah ka ca la na om tih tihnin ah kai loh nang kan sak coeng,” aka ti long ni a thangpom.

So even the Christ was not raised to the high glory of the priesthood by himself, but on the contrary by Him who said to him. Thou art my Son; this day have I become thy Father;

6 Te vanbangla a tloe ah khaw, “Nang tah Melkhizedek kah aitlaeng bangla kumhal due na khosoih coeng,” a ti. (aiōn g165)

and again, Thou art a priest forever, after the order of Melchisedek. (aiōn g165)

7 Amah loh a pumsa la a om tue vaengah, rhenbihnah neh bihnah khaw, duek lamkah anih aka khang thai taengah, mikphi neh rhungrhahnah neh a tloh la a nawn daengah ni hinyahnah neh a hnatun pah.

In the days of his flesh, with better cries and weeping Jesus offered up prayers and supplications to Him who was able to save him out of death; and he was heard because of his devout submission.

8 A capa la om dae a patang neh olngainah te a cang.

Though he was a son, yet learned he obedience through the things which he suffered;

9 Te dongah dungyan khangnah a hnun la a ol aka ngai rhoek boeih taengah rhuemtuet la a om pah. (aiōnios g166)

and by being thus made perfect, he became the source of enduring salvation to all who obey him, (aiōnios g166)

10 Melkhizedek kah aitlaeng bangla Pathen loh khosoihham la a khue coeng.

while God himself pronounced him High Priest according to the order of Melchisedek.

11 Anih kah olka tah mamih taengah cung coeng dae hnavue te kolhnaw la a om dongah ka thuicaih tloel.

Concerning him I have much to say, and much that is hard to make clear to you, because you have grown dull of hearing.

12 A tue loh saya la om ham a kuek coeng dae Pathen kah olrhuh a tongnah kah a niing te pakhat loh nangmih koep n'thuituen na ngoe uh. Te dongah buh hap mueh la suktui aka ngoe la na om uh.

And this too, although you ought by this time to be teaching others, you are still needing some one to teach you the very rudiments of divine revelation. You need milk, not solid food.

13 Suktui aka cabol boeih tah cahmang la om tih, duengnah olka dongah cakongcahai la om.

For every one who feeds on milk is inexperienced in the word of righteousness. He is still an infant.

14 Tedae lungcuei tah buh hap a om pah coeng. Te rhoek kah hmuhtoeihnah rhangneh yaknganah te a hlinsai uh dongah a thae neh a then khaw boelhkhoehnah khueh uh.

But solid food is for adults, that is, for those who by constant practise have their faculties trained to discriminate between good and evil.
