Hebrews 5

1 For every high priest taken from among men, is ordained for men in the things that appertain to God, that he may offer up gifts and sacrifices for sins:

Ko eni, ko e taulaʻeiki lahi kotoa pē kuo fili mei he kakai, kuo fakanofo ia maʻae kakai ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ʻae ʻOtua, koeʻuhi ke ne ʻatu ʻae ngaahi meʻa foaki mo e ngaahi feilaulau koeʻuhi ko e angahala:

2 Who can have compassion on them that are ignorant and that err: because he himself also is compassed with infirmity.

‌ʻAia ʻoku ne faʻa ʻofa mamahi ki he vale, pea mo e hēhē; koeʻuhi kuo takatakai foki ia ʻe he vaivai.

3 And therefore he ought, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins.

Pea ko e meʻa ia ʻoku totonu ke ne fai tatau ai ʻae feilaulau maʻae kakai, pea maʻana foki, koeʻuhi ko e angahala.

4 Neither doth any man take the honour to himself, but he that is called by God, as Aaron was.

Pea ʻoku ʻikai toʻo ʻe ha tangata ʻae ngaue tapu ni kiate ia, ka ko ia kuo ui ʻe he ʻOtua, ʻo hangē ko ʻElone.

5 So Christ also did not glorify himself, that he might be made a high priest: but he that said unto him: Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.

Pea pehē, naʻe ʻikai fakaongoongolelei ʻe ia ia ʻe Kalaisi, ke ne hoko ai ko e fungani taulaʻeiki; ka ko ia ne ne pehē kiate ia, “Ko hoku ʻAlo koe, kuo u fakatupu koe he ʻaho ni.”

6 As he saith also in another place: Thou art a priest for ever, according to the order of Melchisedech. (aiōn g165)

‌ʻO hangē ko ʻene lea foki ʻe taha, “Ko e taulaʻeiki koe ʻo taʻengata, ʻi he lakanga ʻo Melekiseteki.” (aiōn g165)

7 Who in the days of his flesh, with a strong cry and tears, offering up prayers and supplications to him that was able to save him from death, was heard for his reverence.

‌ʻAia ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo hono sino, kuo ne ʻohake ʻae hū mo e kole tāumaʻu, fakataha mo e tangi mālohi mo e loʻimata, kiate ia naʻe faʻa fai ke fakamoʻui ia mei he mate, pea naʻe ongoʻi ia ʻi he meʻa naʻe manavahē ai ia;

8 And whereas indeed he was the Son of God, he learned obedience by the things which he suffered:

Neongo ko e ʻAlo ia, ka naʻe akonekina ia ke talangofua ʻe he ngaahi meʻa naʻa ne kātaki;

9 And being consummated, he became, to all that obey him, the cause of eternal salvation. (aiōnios g166)

Pea kuo fakahaohaoa ia, pea ne hoko ko e tupuʻanga ʻoe moʻui taʻengata kiate kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku talangofua kiate ia; (aiōnios g166)

10 Called by God a high priest according to the order of Melchisedech.

Kuo ui ʻe he ʻOtua ko e fungani taulaʻeiki ʻi he lakanga ʻo Melekiseteki.

11 Of whom we have much to say, and hard to be intelligibly uttered: because you are become weak to hear.

‌ʻAia ʻoku ʻi ai ʻae ngaahi meʻa lahi ʻiate kimautolu ke leaʻaki, pea faingataʻa hono fakamatala, ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻomou taʻeongongofua.

12 For whereas for the time you ought to be masters, you have need to be taught again what are the first elements of the words of God: and you are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.

He ko e meʻa ʻi he fuoloa kuo taau mo kimoutolu ke akonaki, ka ʻoku ʻaonga ke toe akonekina ʻakimoutolu pe ko e hā hono ʻuluaki tefito ʻoe ngaahi folofola ʻae ʻOtua; pea kuo mou toe tatau mo ia ʻoku ʻaonga ki ai ʻae huʻahuhu, kae ʻikai ha meʻakai mālohi.

13 For every one that is a partaker of milk, is unskillful in the word of justice: for he is a little child.

He ko ia kotoa pē ʻoku fakahuhu ʻi he huʻahuhu, ʻoku taʻepoto ia ʻi he folofola ʻoe māʻoniʻoni: he ko e valevale ia.

14 But strong meat is for the perfect; for them who by custom have their senses exercised to the discerning of good and evil.

Ka ko e meʻakai mālohi, ʻoku ʻanautolu ʻoku matuʻotuʻa, ʻakinautolu ko e meʻa ʻi he maheni ai, ʻi he faʻa ngāueʻaki ʻae ngaahi anga ʻo honau loto, ʻoku nau ʻilo ai ʻae lelei mo e kovi.
