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.
Mokonzi nyonso ya Banganga-Nzambe aponamaka kati na bato mpe, lokola mosali ya Nzambe, atiamaka mpo na bolamu ya bato kati na makambo oyo etali boyokani na bango elongo na Nzambe. Mosala na ye ezali: kobonzela Nzambe makabo mpe bambeka mpo na masumu ya bato.
2 The Supreme Priests could deal gently with those who ignorantly sinned, since the Supreme Priests themselves tended to sin easily.
Azali na makoki ya kozala na boboto liboso ya bolembu ya bato oyo bazangi boyebi mpe basalaka masumu, pamba te ye moko mpe azali moto na bolembu.
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.
Yango wana, likolo ya bolembu yango, asengeli kaka te kobonzaka mbeka mpo na masumu ya bato, kasi asengeli mpe kobonzaka yango mpo na masumu na ye moko.
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].
Moto moko te akoki komikomisa mokonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe, kasi ezali Nzambe nde akomisaka moto mokonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe soki mpe kaka abengi ye, ndenge ezalaki mpo na Aron.
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!
Ndenge moko mpe mpo na Klisto: amikomisaki te Mokonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe, kasi ezali Nzambe nde alobaki na Ye: « Ozali Mwana na Ngai; na mokolo ya lelo, nakomi Tata na Yo. »
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)
Mpe, na esika mosusu kati na Makomi, alobaki: « Ozali Nganga-Nzambe mpo na libela, kolanda molongo ya Melishisedeki. » (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].
Wana Yesu azalaki kati na mokili, na mongongo makasi mpe na mpinzoli, azalaki kosambela mpe kobondela Ye oyo akokaki kobikisa Ye na kufa, mpe Nzambe ayokelaki Ye mpo na botosi na Ye.
8 Although Christ is [God’s own Son], he learned to obey [God] by suffering [before he died].
Atako azalaki Mwana na Nzambe, kasi ayekolaki botosi na nzela ya pasi nyonso oyo amonaki.
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)
Mpe tango kaka Nzambe akomisaki Ye ya kokoka, akomaki, mpo na bato nyonso oyo batosaka Ye, Mopesi lobiko ya seko; (aiōnios g166)
10 Furthermore, God has designated him to be [our] Supreme Priest in the way that Melchizedek was a Supreme Priest.
pamba te Nzambe atia Ye Mokonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe, kolanda molongo ya Melishisedeki.
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.
Tozali na makambo mingi ya koloba na tina na likambo oyo, kasi ezali pasi mpo na kolimbola yango mpo ete bososolaka lisusu noki te.
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].
Bosengelaki wuta kala kokoma balakisi; kasi kino sik’oyo, bozali kaka na posa ete moto ateya bino makambo ya ebandeli ya Liloba na Nzambe. Bokomi kutu na posa ya miliki, kasi ya bilei ya makasi te.
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!
Nzokande, moto nyonso oyo atikalaka kaka na miliki azali mwana moke mpe ayebi te liloba oyo eteyaka bosembo.
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].
Bilei ya makasi ezali mpo na mikolo, ba-oyo bayebi kokesenisa malamu mpe mabe.
