Hebrews 5
1 Every high priest is appointed from among men to represent them in matters relating to God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins.
πας γαρ αρχιερευς εξ ανθρωπων λαμβανομενος υπερ ανθρωπων καθισταται τα προς τον θεον ινα προσφερη δωρα τε και θυσιας υπερ αμαρτιων
2 He is able to deal gently with those who are ignorant and misguided, since he himself is beset by weakness.
μετριοπαθειν δυναμενος τοις αγνοουσιν και πλανωμενοις επει και αυτος περικειται ασθενειαν
3 That is why he is obligated to offer sacrifices for his own sins, as well as for the sins of the people.
και δια ταυτην οφειλει καθως περι του λαου ουτως και περι εαυτου προσφερειν υπερ αμαρτιων
4 No one takes this honor upon himself; he must be called by God, just as Aaron was.
και ουχ εαυτω τις λαμβανει την τιμην αλλα ο καλουμενος υπο του θεου καθαπερ και ο ααρων
5 So also Christ did not take upon Himself the glory of becoming a high priest, but He was called by the One who said to Him: “You are My Son; today I have become Your Father.”
ουτως και ο χριστος ουχ εαυτον εδοξασεν γενηθηναι αρχιερεα αλλ ο λαλησας προς αυτον υιος μου ει συ εγω σημερον γεγεννηκα σε
6 And in another passage God says: “You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.” (aiōn g165)
καθως και εν ετερω λεγει συ ιερευς εις τον αιωνα κατα την ταξιν μελχισεδεκ (aiōn g165)
7 During the days of Jesus’ earthly life, He offered up prayers and petitions with loud cries and tears to the One who could save Him from death, and He was heard because of His reverence.
ος εν ταις ημεραις της σαρκος αυτου δεησεις τε και ικετηριας προς τον δυναμενον σωζειν αυτον εκ θανατου μετα κραυγης ισχυρας και δακρυων προσενεγκας και εισακουσθεις απο της ευλαβειας
8 Although He was a Son, He learned obedience from what He suffered.
καιπερ ων υιος εμαθεν αφ ων επαθεν την υπακοην
9 And having been made perfect, He became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey Him (aiōnios g166)
και τελειωθεις εγενετο τοις υπακουουσιν αυτω πασιν αιτιος σωτηριας αιωνιου (aiōnios g166)
10 and was designated by God as high priest in the order of Melchizedek.
προσαγορευθεις υπο του θεου αρχιερευς κατα την ταξιν μελχισεδεκ
11 We have much to say about this, but it is hard to explain, because you are dull of hearing.
περι ου πολυς ημιν ο λογος και δυσερμηνευτος λεγειν επει νωθροι γεγονατε ταις ακοαις
12 Although by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to reteach you the basic principles of God’s word. You need milk, not solid food!
και γαρ οφειλοντες ειναι διδασκαλοι δια τον χρονον παλιν χρειαν εχετε του διδασκειν υμας τινα τα στοιχεια της αρχης των λογιων του θεου και γεγονατε χρειαν εχοντες γαλακτος και ου στερεας τροφης
13 For everyone who lives on milk is still an infant, inexperienced in the message of righteousness.
πας γαρ ο μετεχων γαλακτος απειρος λογου δικαιοσυνης νηπιος γαρ εστιν
14 But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained their senses to distinguish good from evil.
τελειων δε εστιν η στερεα τροφη των δια την εξιν τα αισθητηρια γεγυμνασμενα εχοντων προς διακρισιν καλου τε και κακου
