Hebrews 5
1 Every [Jewish] Supreme Priest was chosen by [God] {[God] chose every [Jewish] Supreme Priest} from among [ordinary] men. They were appointed {[He] appointed them} in order that they would come before him on behalf of the people. [Specifically, God appointed them] in order that they would bring gifts [to him on behalf of the people], and in order to sacrifice [animals to him] for people who sinned.
Denn jeder aus Menschen genommene Hohepriester wird für Menschen eingesetzt, zum Dienst vor Gott, um sowohl Gaben darzubringen, als auch Opfer für Sünden.
2 The Supreme Priests could deal gently with those who ignorantly sinned, since the Supreme Priests themselves tended to sin easily.
Ein solcher kann Nachsicht üben mit den Unwissenden und Irrenden, da er auch selbst mit Schwachheit behaftet ist;
3 As a result, they had to offer something to God for their own sins, just like [they had to offer something to God] for [other] people who sinned.
und ihretwegen muß er, wie für das Volk, so auch für sich selbst, opfern für die Sünden.
4 Furthermore, [it is an honor to be a Supreme Priest] so no one honors himself [by appointing himself to become a Supreme Priest]. Instead, God chose each man [to become a Supreme Priest], as he chose Aaron [to be the first Supreme Priest].
Und keiner nimmt sich selbst die Würde, sondern er wird von Gott berufen, gleichwie Aaron.
5 Similarly, Christ also did not honor himself by appointing himself to become a Supreme Priest. Instead, God [appointed him by] saying to [him what he never said to any other priest, what the] Psalmist wrote in the Scriptures, You [(sg)] are my Son! Today I have declared that I am your Father!
So hat auch Christus sich nicht selbst die hohepriesterliche Würde beigelegt, sondern der, welcher zu ihm sprach: «Du bist mein Sohn; heute habe ich dich gezeugt.»
6 And he also said [to Christ what the Psalmist wrote] in another Scripture passage, You are a priest eternally just like Melchizedek was a priest. (aiōn g165)
Wie er auch an anderer Stelle spricht: «Du bist ein Priester in Ewigkeit nach der Ordnung Melchisedeks.» (aiōn g165)
7 When Christ lived on the earth [MTY], he prayed [DOU] to God and tearfully cried out loudly to him. [Specifically], he asked [God], who was able to help him, that he would not [fear the sufferings just before] he died. As a result, God listened to him, because Christ reverently submitted [to what God wanted him to do].
Und er hat in den Tagen seines Fleisches Bitten und Flehen mit starkem Geschrei und Tränen dem dargebracht, der ihn vom Tode retten konnte, und ist auch erhört [und befreit] worden von dem Zagen.
8 Although Christ is [God’s own Son], he learned to obey [God] by suffering [before he died].
Und wiewohl er Sohn war, hat er doch an dem, was er litt, den Gehorsam gelernt;
9 By becoming (all [that] God intended him to be/perfect), [he has now] become fully qualified [to be our Supreme Priest. As a result, he is the one who saves] eternally all who obey him. (aiōnios g166)
und [so] zur Vollendung gelangt, ist er allen, die ihm gehorchen, der Urheber ewigen Heils geworden, (aiōnios g166)
10 Furthermore, God has designated him to be [our] Supreme Priest in the way that Melchizedek was a Supreme Priest.
von Gott zubenannt: Hoherpriester «nach der Ordnung Melchisedeks».
11 Although there is much to say [to you(pl)] about [how Christ resembles Melchizedek], this is hard [for me] to explain [to you] because you now understand things so slowly.
Davon haben wir nun viel zu sagen, und solches, was schwer zu erklären ist, weil ihr träge geworden seid zum Hören;
12 [You became Christians long ago. So] by now you should be teaching [spiritual truths to others]. But you still need someone to teach you again the truths that God has revealed. [I am talking about] the truths that we teach people [when they] first [believe in Christ]. You need [those elementary truths] like babies need milk [MET]. You are not [ready for advanced teaching, which is like] the solid food [which mature people need] [MET].
und obschon ihr der Zeit nach Lehrer sein solltet, habt ihr wieder nötig, daß man euch gewisse Anfangsgründe der Aussprüche Gottes lehre, und seid der Milch bedürftig geworden und nicht fester Speise.
13 Remember that those [who are still learning these elementary truths] [MET] have not become familiar with [what God] says concerning becoming/being righteous. They are [just like] [MET] babies [who need] milk!
Denn wer noch Milch genießt, der ist unerfahren im Worte der Gerechtigkeit; denn er ist unmündig.
14 But [the more advanced spiritual truth] is for people who are [spiritually] mature, just like [MET] solid food is for [people who are physically] mature. They can tell the difference between what is good and what is evil, because they have trained themselves [to keep doing that].
Die feste Speise aber ist für die Gereiften, deren Sinne durch Übung geschult sind zur Unterscheidung des Guten und des Bösen.
