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,
Omnis namque Pontifex ex hominibus assumptus, pro hominibus constituitur in iis, quae sunt ad Deum, ut offerat dona, et sacrificia pro peccatis:
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,
qui condolere possit iis, qui ignorant, et errant: quoniam et ipse circumdatus est infirmitate:
3 And for the sames sake he is bound to offer for sinnes, as well for his own part, as for ye peoples.
et propterea debet, quemadmodum pro populo, ita etiam et pro semetipso offerre pro peccatis.
4 And no man taketh this honor vnto him selfe, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron.
Nec quisquam sumit sibi honorem, sed qui vocatur a Deo, tamquam 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.
Sic et Christus non semetipsum clarificavit ut pontifex fieret: sed qui locutus est ad eum: Filius meus es tu, ego hodie genui te.
6 As he also in another place speaketh, Thou art a Priest for euer, after ye order of Melchi-sedec. (aiōn g165)
Quemadmodum et in alio loco dicit: Tu es sacerdos in aeternum, secundum ordinem Melchisedech. (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.
Qui in diebus carnis suae preces, supplicationesque ad eum, qui possit illum salvum facere a morte cum clamore valido, et lacrymis offerens, exauditus est pro sua reverentia:
8 And though he were ye Sonne, yet learned he obedience, by the things which he suffered.
Et quidem cum esset Filius Dei, didicit ex iis, quae passus est, obedientiam:
9 And being consecrate, was made the authour of eternall saluation vnto all them that obey him: (aiōnios g166)
et consummatus, factus est omnibus obtemperantibus sibi, causa salutis aeternae, (aiōnios g166)
10 And is called of God an hie Priest after the order of Melchi-sedec.
appellatus a Deo pontifex iuxta ordinem Melchisedech.
11 Of whome we haue many things to say, which are hard to be vttered, because ye are dull of hearing.
De quo nobis grandis sermo, et interpretabilis ad dicendum: quoniam imbecilles facti estis ad audiendum.
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.
Etenim cum deberetis magistri esse propter tempus: rursum indigetis ut vos doceamini quae sint elementa exordii sermonum Dei: et facti estis quibus lacte opus sit, non solido cibo.
13 For euery one that vseth milke, is inexpert in the worde of righteousnes: for he is a babe.
Omnis enim, qui lactis est particeps, expers est sermonis iustitiae, parvulus enim est.
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.
Perfectorum autem est solidus cibus: eorum, qui pro consuetudine exercitatos habent sensus ad discretionem boni ac mali.
