Hebrews 5

1 For, every high-priest who from among men is taken, on behalf of men, is appointed, as to the things pertaining unto God, that he may be offering [both] gifts and sacrifices for sins, —

yaḥ kaścit mahāyājako bhavati sa mānavānāṁ madhyāt nītaḥ san mānavānāṁ kṛta īśvaroddeśyaviṣaye'rthata upahārāṇāṁ pāpārthakabalīnāñca dāna niyujyate|

2 Able, to have a measure of feeling, for the ignorant and erring, —since, he also, is compassed with weakness;

sa cājñānāṁ bhrāntānāñca lokānāṁ duḥkhena duḥkhī bhavituṁ śaknoti, yato hetoḥ sa svayamapi daurbbalyaveṣṭito bhavati|

3 And, for this cause, is he obliged—as for the people, so also, for himself, —to be offering for sins;

etasmāt kāraṇācca yadvat lokānāṁ kṛte tadvad ātmakṛte'pi pāpārthakabalidānaṁ tena karttavyaṁ|

4 And, not unto himself, doth one take the honour, but when called by God, just as, even Aaron:

sa ghoccapadaḥ svecchātaḥ kenāpi na gṛhyate kintu hāroṇa iva ya īśvareṇāhūyate tenaiva gṛhyate|

5 Thus, also the Christ, glorified not himself to become a high-priest, but he that spake unto him—My Son, art, thou, I, this day, have begotten thee;

evamprakāreṇa khrīṣṭo'pi mahāyājakatvaṁ grahītuṁ svīyagauravaṁ svayaṁ na kṛtavān, kintu "madīyatanayo'si tvam adyaiva janito mayeti" vācaṁ yastaṁ bhāṣitavān sa eva tasya gauravaṁ kṛtavān|

6 As also, in a different place, he saith—Thou, art a priest, age-abidingly, according to the rank of Melchizedek: (aiōn g165)

tadvad anyagīte'pīdamuktaṁ, tvaṁ malkīṣedakaḥ śreṇyāṁ yājako'si sadātanaḥ| (aiōn g165)

7 Who, in the days of his flesh, having offered up, both supplications and entreaties unto him that was able to save him out of death, with mighty outcries and tears, and been hearkened to by reason of his devoutness,

sa ca dehavāsakāle bahukrandanenāśrupātena ca mṛtyuta uddharaṇe samarthasya pituḥ samīpe punaḥ punarvinatiṁ prarthanāñca kṛtvā tatphalarūpiṇīṁ śaṅkāto rakṣāṁ prāpya ca

8 Even though he was a son, yet learned, from what things he suffered, obedience;

yadyapi putro'bhavat tathāpi yairakliśyata tairājñāgrahaṇam aśikṣata|

9 And, being made perfect, became, to all them that obey him, Author of salvation age-abiding; (aiōnios g166)

itthaṁ siddhībhūya nijājñāgrāhiṇāṁ sarvveṣām anantaparitrāṇasya kāraṇasvarūpo 'bhavat| (aiōnios g166)

10 Being addressed by God as high-priest—according to the rank of Melchizedek.

tasmāt sa malkīṣedakaḥ śreṇībhukto mahāyājaka īśvareṇākhyātaḥ|

11 Concerning whom, great, is our discourse, and of difficult interpretation, to express, seeing that, slothful, have ye become in the hearing;

tamadhyasmākaṁ bahukathāḥ kathayitavyāḥ kintu tāḥ stabdhakarṇai ryuṣmābhi rdurgamyāḥ|

12 For, even when ye ought to be teachers, by reason of the time, again, have ye, need, that one be teaching, you, what are the first principles of the oracles of God, and have become such as have, need, of milk, not, of strong food;

yato yūyaṁ yadyapi samayasya dīrghatvāt śikṣakā bhavitum aśakṣyata tathāpīśvarasya vākyānāṁ yā prathamā varṇamālā tāmadhi śikṣāprāpti ryuṣmākaṁ punarāvaśyakā bhavati, tathā kaṭhinadravye nahi kintu dugdhe yuṣmākaṁ prayojanam āste|

13 For, every one partaking of milk, is unskilled in discourse of righteousness, for he is, a babe;

yo dugdhapāyī sa śiśurevetikāraṇāt dharmmavākye tatparo nāsti|

14 But, to such as are mature, pertaineth, the strong food, to them who, by reason of habit, have their organs of perception well trained for discriminating both good and evil.

kintu sadasadvicāre yeṣāṁ cetāṁsi vyavahāreṇa śikṣitāni tādṛśānāṁ siddhalokānāṁ kaṭhoradravyeṣu prayojanamasti|
