Hebrews 5
1 For every chief priest taken out of men is set in things [pertaining] to God in behalf of men, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins,
Omnis namque Pontifex ex hominibus assumptus, pro hominibus constituitur in iis, quæ sunt ad Deum, ut offerat dona, et sacrificia pro peccatis:
2 being able to be gentle to those being ignorant and going astray, since he is also surrounded with weakness;
qui condolere possit iis, qui ignorant, et errant: quoniam et ipse circumdatus est infirmitate:
3 and because of this [weakness] he ought, just as for the people, so also for himself, to bring forward [sacrifices] for sins;
et propterea debet, quemadmodum pro populo, ita etiam et pro semetipso offerre pro peccatis.
4 and no one takes the honor to himself, but he who is called by God, as also Aaron.
Nec quisquam sumit sibi honorem, sed qui vocatur a Deo, tamquam Aaron.
5 So also the Christ did not glorify Himself to become Chief Priest, but He who spoke to Him: “You are My Son, today I have begotten You”;
Sic et Christus non semetipsum clarificavit ut pontifex fieret: sed qui locutus est ad eum: Filius meus es tu, ego hodie genui te.
6 just as He also says in another [place], “You [are] a priest throughout the age, according to the order of Melchizedek”; (aiōn g165)
Quemadmodum et in alio loco dicit: Tu es sacerdos in æternum, secundum ordinem Melchisedech. (aiōn g165)
7 who in the days of His flesh having offered up both prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears to Him who was able to save Him from death, and having been heard in respect to that which He feared,
Qui in diebus carnis suæ preces, supplicationesque ad eum, qui possit illum salvum facere a morte cum clamore valido, et lacrymis offerens, exauditus est pro sua reverentia:
8 though being a Son, [He] learned obedience by the things which He suffered,
Et quidem cum esset Filius Dei, didicit ex iis, quæ passus est, obedientiam:
9 and having been made perfect, He became the cause of continuous salvation to all those obeying Him, (aiōnios g166)
et consummatus, factus est omnibus obtemperantibus sibi, causa salutis æternæ, (aiōnios g166)
10 having been called by God a Chief Priest according to the order of Melchizedek,
appellatus a Deo pontifex iuxta ordinem Melchisedech.
11 concerning the Word, of whom we have much [to speak], and of hard explanation to say, since you have become dull of hearing,
De quo nobis grandis sermo, et ininterpretabilis ad dicendum: quoniam imbecilles facti estis ad audiendum.
12 for even owing to be teachers, because of the time, again you have need that one teach you what [are] the elements of the beginning of the oracles of God, and you have become having need of milk, and not of strong food,
Etenim cum deberetis magistri esse propter tempus: rursum indigetis ut vos doceamini quæ sint elementa exordii sermonum Dei: et facti estis quibus lacte opus sit, non solido cibo.
13 for everyone who is partaking of milk [is] unskilled in the word of righteousness—for he is an infant,
Omnis enim, qui lactis est particeps, expers est sermonis iustitiæ, parvulus enim est.
14 and the strong food is of perfect men, who because of the use are having the senses exercised, to both the discernment of good and of evil.
Perfectorum autem est solidus cibus: eorum, qui pro consuetudine exercitatos habent sensus ad discretionem boni ac mali.
