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;
Omnis namque pontifex ex hominibus assumptus, pro hominibus constituitur in iis, quæ sunt ad Deum, ut offerat dona, et sacrificia pro peccatis:
2 being able to exercise forbearance towards the ignorant and erring, since he himself also is clothed with infirmity;
qui condolere possit iis, qui ignorant, et errant: quoniam et ipse circumdatus est infirmitate:
3 and, on account of this [infirmity], he ought, even as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins.
et propterea debet, quemadmodum pro populo, ita etiam et pro semetipso offerre pro peccatis.
4 And no one takes the honour to himself but [as] called by God, even as Aaron also.
Nec quisquam sumit sibi honorem, sed qui vocatur a Deo, tamquam Aaron.
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.
Sic et Christus non semetipsum clarificavit ut Pontifex fieret: sed qui locutus est ad eum: Filius meus es tu, ego hodie genui te.
6 Even as also in another [place] he says, Thou [art] a priest for ever according to the order of Melchisedec. (aiōn g165)
Quemadmodum et in alio loco dicit: Tu es sacerdos in æternum, secundum ordinem 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; )
Qui in diebus carnis suæ preces, supplicationesque ad eum, qui possit illum salvum facere a morte cum clamore valido, et lacrymis offerens, exauditus est pro sua reverentia:
8 though he were Son, he learned obedience from the things which he suffered;
Et quidem cum esset Filius Dei, didicit ex iis, quæ passus est, obedientiam:
9 and having been perfected, became to all them that obey him, author of eternal salvation; (aiōnios g166)
et consummatus, factus est omnibus obtemperantibus sibi, causa salutis æternæ, (aiōnios g166)
10 addressed by God [as] high priest according to the order of Melchisedec.
appellatus a Deo Pontifex iuxta ordinem 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.
De quo nobis grandis sermo, et ininterpretabilis ad dicendum: quoniam imbecilles facti estis ad audiendum.
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.
Etenim cum deberetis magistri esse propter tempus: rursum indigetis ut vos doceamini quæ sint elementa exordii sermonum Dei: et facti estis quibus lacte opus sit, non solido cibo.
13 For every one that partakes of milk [is] unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is a babe;
Omnis enim, qui lactis est particeps, expers est sermonis iustitiæ, parvulus enim est.
14 but solid food belongs to full-grown men, who, on account of habit, have their senses exercised for distinguishing both good and evil.
Perfectorum autem est solidus cibus: eorum, qui pro consuetudine exercitatos habent sensus ad discretionem boni ac mali.
