Hebrews 5

1 For euery hie Priest is taken from among men, and is ordeined for men, in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both giftes and sacrifices for sinnes,

For every chief priest — out of men taken — in behalf of men is set in things [pertaining] to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins,

2 Which is able sufficiently to haue compassion on them that are ignorant, and that are out of the way, because that hee also is compassed with infirmitie,

able to be gentle to those ignorant and going astray, since himself also is compassed with infirmity;

3 And for the sames sake he is bound to offer for sinnes, as well for his own part, as for ye peoples.

and because of this infirmity he ought, as for the people, so also for himself to offer for sins;

4 And no man taketh this honor vnto him selfe, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron.

and no one to himself doth take the honour, but he who is called by God, as also Aaron:

5 So likewise Christ tooke not to him selfe this honour, to be made the hie Priest, but hee that sayd vnto him, Thou art my Sonne, this day begate I thee, gaue it him.

so also the Christ did not glorify himself to become chief priest, but He who spake unto him: 'My Son thou art, I to-day have begotten thee;'

6 As he also in another place speaketh, Thou art a Priest for euer, after ye order of Melchi-sedec. (aiōn g165)

as also in another [place] He saith, 'Thou [art] a priest — to the age, according to the order of Melchisedek;' (aiōn g165)

7 Who in the dayes of his flesh did offer vp prayers and supplications, with strong crying and teares vnto him, that was able to saue him from death, and was also heard in that which he feared.

who in the days of his flesh both prayers and supplications unto Him who was able to save him from death — with strong crying and tears — having offered up, and having been heard in respect to that which he feared,

8 And though he were ye Sonne, yet learned he obedience, by the things which he suffered.

through being a Son, did learn by the things which he suffered — the obedience,

9 And being consecrate, was made the authour of eternall saluation vnto all them that obey him: (aiōnios g166)

and having been made perfect, he did become to all those obeying him a cause of salvation age-during, (aiōnios g166)

10 And is called of God an hie Priest after the order of Melchi-sedec.

having been addressed by God a chief priest, according to the order of Melchisedek,

11 Of whome we haue many things to say, which are hard to be vttered, because ye are dull of hearing.

concerning whom we have much discourse and of hard explanation to say, since ye have become dull of hearing,

12 For when as concerning ye time ye ought to be teachers, yet haue ye neede againe that we teach you what are the first principles of the worde of God: and are become such as haue neede of milke, and not of strong meate.

for even owing to be teachers, because of the time, again ye have need that one teach you what [are] the elements of the beginning of the oracles of God, and ye have become having need of milk, and not of strong food,

13 For euery one that vseth milke, is inexpert in the worde of righteousnes: for he is a babe.

for every one who is partaking of milk [is] unskilled in the word of righteousness — for he is an infant,

14 But strong meate belongeth to them that are of age, which through long custome haue their wits exercised, to discerne both good and euill.

and of perfect men is the strong food, who because of the use are having the senses exercised, unto the discernment both of good and of evil.
