Hebrews 5
1 For every high priest, having been taken from among men, is appointed on behalf of men toward the things which pertain to God, so that he may offer gifts and sacrifices on behalf of 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 commiserate with those who are ignorant and who wander astray, because he himself is also encompassed by infirmity.
μετριοπαθειν δυναμενος τοις αγνοουσιν και πλανωμενοις επει και αυτος περικειται ασθενειαν
3 And because of this, he also must make such offerings for sins even for himself, in the same manner as for the people.
και δια ταυτην οφειλει καθως περι του λαου ουτως και περι εαυτου προσφερειν υπερ αμαρτιων
4 Neither does anyone take up this honor himself, but rather he who is called by God, just as Aaron was.
και ουχ εαυτω τις λαμβανει την τιμην αλλα καλουμενος υπο του θεου καθαπερ και ααρων
5 Thus, even Christ did not glorify himself, so as to become High Priest, but instead, it was God who said to him: “You are my Son. Today I have begotten you.”
ουτως και ο χριστος ουχ εαυτον εδοξασεν γενηθηναι αρχιερεα αλλ ο λαλησας προς αυτον υιος μου ει συ εγω σημερον γεγεννηκα σε
6 And similarly, he says in another place: “You are a priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek.” (aiōn g165)
καθως και εν ετερω λεγει συ ιερευς εις τον αιωνα κατα την ταξιν μελχισεδεκ (aiōn g165)
7 It is Christ who, in the days of his flesh, with a strong cry and tears, offered prayers and supplications to the One who was able to save him from death, and who 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 And although, certainly, he is the Son of God, he learned obedience by the things that he suffered.
καιπερ ων υιος εμαθεν αφ ων επαθεν την υπακοην
9 And having reached his consummation, he was made, for all who are obedient to him, the cause of eternal salvation, (aiōnios g166)
και τελειωθεις εγενετο τοις υπακουουσιν αυτω πασιν αιτιος σωτηριας αιωνιου (aiōnios g166)
10 having been called by God to be the High Priest, according to the order of Melchizedek.
προσαγορευθεις υπο του θεου αρχιερευς κατα την ταξιν μελχισεδεκ
11 Our message about him is great, and difficult to explain when speaking, because you have been made feeble when listening.
περι ου πολυς ημιν ο λογος και δυσερμηνευτος λεγειν επει νωθροι γεγονατε ταις ακοαις
12 For even though it is the time when you ought to be teachers, you are still lacking, so that you must be taught the things that are the basic elements of the Word of God, and so you have been made like those who are in need of milk, and not of 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 anyone who is still feeding on milk is still unskillful in the Word of Justice; for he is like an infant.
πας γαρ ο μετεχων γαλακτος απειρος λογου δικαιοσυνης νηπιος γαρ εστιν
14 But solid food is for those who are mature, for those who, by practice, have sharpened their mind, so as to discern good from evil.
τελειων δε εστιν η στερεα τροφη των δια την εξιν τα αισθητηρια γεγυμνασμενα εχοντων προς διακρισιν καλου τε και κακου
