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,
Kila kuhani mkuu huchaguliwa kutoka miongoni mwa watu kwa ajili ya kumtumikia Mungu kwa niaba yao, kutolea zawadi na tambiko kwa ajili ya dhambi zao.
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,
Maadamu yeye mwenyewe yu dhaifu anaweza kuwaonea huruma wale wasiojua kitu na wanaofanya makosa.
3 And for the sames sake he is bound to offer for sinnes, as well for his own part, as for ye peoples.
Na kwa vile yeye mwenyewe ni dhaifu, anapaswa kutolea dhabihu si tu kwa ajili ya watu, bali pia kwa ajili ya dhambi zake.
4 And no man taketh this honor vnto him selfe, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron.
Hakuna mtu awezaye kujitwalia mwenyewe heshima ya kuwa kuhani mkuu. Kila mmoja huteuliwa na Mungu kuwa kuhani mkuu kama alivyokuwa Aroni.
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.
Hali kadhalika naye Kristo hakujitwalia mwenyewe heshima ya kuwa kuhani mkuu, bali Mungu alimwambia: “Wewe ni Mwanangu; mimi leo nimekuwa baba yako.”
6 As he also in another place speaketh, Thou art a Priest for euer, after ye order of Melchi-sedec. (aiōn g165)
Alisema pia mahali pengine: “Wewe ni kuhani milele, kufuatana na utaratibu wa ukuhani wa Melkisedeki.” (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.
Yesu alipokuwa anaishi hapa duniani, kwa kilio kikuu na machozi, alisali na kumwomba Mungu ambaye alikuwa na uwezo wa kumwokoa kutoka kifo; naye alisikilizwa kwa sababu ya kumcha Mungu.
8 And though he were ye Sonne, yet learned he obedience, by the things which he suffered.
Lakini, ingawa alikuwa Mwana wa Mungu, alijifunza kutii kwa njia ya mateso.
9 And being consecrate, was made the authour of eternall saluation vnto all them that obey him: (aiōnios g166)
Na alipofanywa mkamilifu, akawa chanzo cha wokovu wa milele kwa wale wote wanaomtii, (aiōnios g166)
10 And is called of God an hie Priest after the order of Melchi-sedec.
naye Mungu akamteua kuwa kuhani mkuu kufuatana na utaratibu wa ukuhani wa Melkisedeki.
11 Of whome we haue many things to say, which are hard to be vttered, because ye are dull of hearing.
Tunayo Mengi ya kusema juu ya jambo hili, lakini ni vigumu kuwaelezeni, kwa sababu ninyi si wepesi wa kuelewa.
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.
Sasa mngalipaswa kuwa tayari walimu, lakini mnahitaji bado mtu wa kuwafundisheni mafundisho ya mwanzo ya ujumbe wa Mungu. Badala ya kula chakula kigumu, mnapaswa bado kunywa maziwa.
13 For euery one that vseth milke, is inexpert in the worde of righteousnes: for he is a babe.
Kila anayepaswa kunywa maziwa huyo ni mtoto bado, hajui uadilifu ni nini.
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.
Lakini chakula kigumu ni kwa ajili ya watu waliokomaa, ambao wanaweza kubainisha mema na mabaya.
