Hebrews 5

1 For every high priest taken from amongst men is established for men in things relating to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins;

For ech bischop takun of men, is ordeyned for men in these thingis `that ben to God, that he offre yiftis and sacrifices for synnes.

2 being able to exercise forbearance towards the ignorant and erring, since he himself also is clothed with infirmity;

Which may togidere sorewe with hem, that beth vnkunnynge and erren; for also he is enuyrounned with infirmytee.

3 and, on account of this [infirmity], he ought, even as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins.

And therfor he owith, as for the puple, so also for hym silf, to offre for synnes.

4 And no one takes the honour to himself but [as] called by God, even as Aaron also.

Nethir ony man taketh to hym onour, but he that is clepid of God, as Aaron was.

5 Thus the Christ also has not glorified himself to be made a high priest; but he who had said to him, Thou art my Son, I have to-day begotten thee.

So Crist clarifiede not hym silf, that he were bischop, but he that spak to hym, Thou art my sone, to dai Y gendride thee.

6 Even as also in another [place] he says, Thou [art] a priest for ever according to the order of Melchisedec. (aiōn g165)

As `in anothere place he seith, Thou art a prest with outen ende, aftir the ordre of Melchisedech. (aiōn g165)

7 Who in the days of his flesh, having offered up both supplications and entreaties to him who was able to save him out of death, with strong crying and tears; (and having been heard because of his piety; )

Which in the daies of his fleisch offride, with greet cry and teeris, preieris and bisechingis to hym that myyte make hym saaf fro deth, and was herd for his reuerence.

8 though he were Son, he learned obedience from the things which he suffered;

And whanne he was Goddis sone, he lernyde obedience of these thingis that be suffride;

9 and having been perfected, became to all them that obey him, author of eternal salvation; (aiōnios g166)

and he brouyt to the ende is maad cause of euerlastinge heelthe to alle that obeischen to hym, (aiōnios g166)

10 addressed by God [as] high priest according to the order of Melchisedec.

and is clepid of God a bischop, bi the ordre of Melchisedech.

11 Concerning whom we have much to say, and hard to be interpreted in speaking [of it], since ye are become dull in hearing.

Of whom ther is to vs a greet word for to seie, and able to be expowned, for ye ben maad feble to here.

12 For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have again need that [one] should teach you what [are] the elements of the beginning of the oracles of God, and are become such as have need of milk, [and] not of solid food.

For whanne ye ouyten to be maistris for tyme, eftsoone ye neden that ye be tauyt, whiche ben the lettris of the bigynnyng of Goddis wordis. And ye ben maad thilke, to whiche is nede of mylk, and not sad mete.

13 For every one that partakes of milk [is] unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is a babe;

For ech that is parcenere of mylk, is with out part of the word of riytwisnesse, for he is a litil child.

14 but solid food belongs to full-grown men, who, on account of habit, have their senses exercised for distinguishing both good and evil.

But of perfit men is sad mete, of hem that for custom han wittis exercisid to discrecioun of good and of yuel.
