Hebrews 5

1 FOR, every high-priest taken from among men, is constituted on behalf of men for those services which relate to God, that he should offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins:

For every high priest who is from among men, on the behalf of men, standeth over those things which are of Aloha, to offer oblation and sacrifices for sins:

2 being able to feel tenderly for the ignorant and erroneous; forasmuch as he is himself encompassed with infirmity.

and (is one) who can humble himself, and suffer with those who know not and err, since he also himself with infirmity is clothed.

3 And on this account he ought, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer sacrifice for sins.

And on this account he is obligated as on the behalf of the people, so (also) for himself, to offer up for his sins.

4 And no man assumes to himself this honour, but he who is called of God, even as Aaron was.

Yet no man to himself taketh the honour, but he who is called by Aloha, as of Aharun.

5 So Christ also did not himself assume the glory to become high-priest, but he gave it who spake to him, “Thou art my Son; I have this day begotten thee.”

Thus also the Meshiha glorified not himself to be a High Priest; but He who said to him, Thou art my Son, I to-day have begotten thee.

6 As he saith also in another passage, “Thou art priest forever after the order of Melchisedec;” (aiōn g165)

So, too, in another place he saith, Thou art the Priest for ever, after the likeness of Malki-Zedek. (aiōn g165)

7 who in the days of his flesh, with strong crying and tears, having offered up prayers and supplications to him who was able to save him from death, and being heard for his reverential awe,

When also with flesh he had been clothed, prayer and supplication, with a powerful cry, and with tears, he offered up unto Him who was able from death to revive him, and was heard.

8 though he was a son, he learned obedience from the things which he suffered:

And though he was the Son, yet from the fear and the sufferings which he sustained he learned obedience.

9 and complete himself, he became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey him; (aiōnios g166)

And so was he perfected, and became unto all them who obey him the Cause of eternal salvation; (aiōnios g166)

10 publicly proclaimed of God high-priest after the order of Melchisedec.

and was named by God, The High Priest after the likeness of Malki-Zedek.

11 Concerning whom we have much to discourse, and of difficult interpretation to explain, seeing ye are dull of hearing.

But concerning this Malki-Zedek himself, we have much discourse to utter, and hard to explain, because ye are infirm in your hearing.

12 For though ye ought for the time to be teachers of others, ye have again need that some one teach you the leading principles of the oracles of God; and are become as those who need milk, and not solid food.

For ye ought to be teachers, on account of the time by you in learning; but now ye have need again to be taught those which are the first scriptures of the beginningwords of Aloha; and need have ye for milk, and not for solid food.

13 For every one who useth milk is inexperienced in the word of righteousness: for he is an infant.

But every one whose food is milk is not versed in the doctrine of righteousness, because he is a babe.

14 But solid nourishment is proper for grown men, even as many as by habit have their organs of perception exercised for the discernment both of good and evil.

But for the perfect is solid food; those, (namely, ) who, because exercised, have trained their senses to distinguish the good and the evil.
