< Hebrews 5 >

1 For every high priest taken from among men is ordained for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins:
Ngoba wonke umpristi omkhulu, okhethwa ebantwini, umiselwa abantu ezintweni ezimayelana loNkulunkulu, ukuze anikele izipho lemihlatshelo ngenxa yezono;
2 Who can have compassion on the ignorant, and on them that are out of the way; for that he himself also is compassed with infirmity.
ongababekezelela abangaziyo labaduhayo, lokhu laye egonjolozelwe yibuthakathaka;
3 And by reason hereof he ought, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins.
njalo ngenxa yalokhu kufanele ukuthi anikelele izono, njengokwabantu, kunjalo langokwakhe.
4 And no man takes this honor to himself, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron.
Futhi kakulamuntu ozithathela le inhlonipho, kodwa obizwa nguNkulunkulu, lanjengoAroni.
5 So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that said to him, You are my Son, to day have I begotten you.
Ngokunjalo loKristu kazidumisanga yena ukuba ngumpristi omkhulu, kodwa lowo owathi kuye: Wena uyiNdodana yami, lamuhla mina ngikuzele.
6 As he says also in another place, You are a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec. (aiōn g165)
Njengoba esitsho futhi kwenye indawo ukuthi: Wena ungumpristi kuze kube phakade ngokohlobo lukaMelkizedeki. (aiōn g165)
7 Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears to him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared;
Owathi ensukwini zenyama yakhe, esenikele imikhuleko kanye lokunxusa elokukhala okukhulu langezinyembezi kuye olamandla okumsindisa ekufeni, futhi wezwiwa ngenxa yokwesaba kwakhe uNkulunkulu,
8 Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered;
loba eyiNdodana, wafunda ukulalela ezintweni ahlupheka ngazo,
9 And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation to all them that obey him; (aiōnios g166)
esephelelisiwe waba yisisusa sosindiso olulaphakade kubo bonke abamlalelayo; (aiōnios g166)
10 Called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec.
ebizwa nguNkulunkulu ngokuthi ungumpristi omkhulu ngokohlobo lukaMelkizedeki.
11 Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing you are dull of hearing.
Esilokunengi esingakutsho ngaye futhi okulukhuni ukulichasisela, lokhu selaba buthundu ekuzweni.
12 For when for the time you ought to be teachers, you have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.
Ngoba lapho ebelifanele ukuba ngabafundisi, ngenxa yesikhathi, liswela futhi ukuthi kube khona olifundisayo, ukuthi ziyini izimiso zakuqala zamazwi kaNkulunkulu; selingabafanele uchago, kungeyisikho-ke ukudla okuqinileyo.
13 For every one that uses milk is unskillful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.
Ngoba wonke odla uchago kalalwazi olupheleleyo elizwini lokulunga; ngoba uyingane.
14 But strong meat belongs to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
Kodwa ukudla okuqinileyo kungokwabakhulileyo, asebesebenzise izingqondo ngokwejwayela ekwehlukaniseni konke okuhle lokubi.
