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.
Tokkoon tokkoon luba ol aanaa namoota gidduudhaa filatamee waan Waaqa ilaallatu irratti namoota iddoo buʼee sababii cubbuutiif kennaa fi aarsaa dhiʼeessuuf muudama.
2 The Supreme Priests could deal gently with those who ignorantly sinned, since the Supreme Priests themselves tended to sin easily.
Inni mataan isaa iyyuu waan dadhabbii keessa jiruuf wallaaltotaa fi warra karaa irraa jallataniif garaa laafuu ni dandaʼa.
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.
Sababii kanaaf inni cubbuu ofii isaatiif, akkasumas cubbuu namootaatiif aarsaa dhiʼeessuu qaba.
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].
Nama akkuma Aroonitti Waaqaan waamame malee, namni kam iyyuu ulfina kana ofii isaatiif hin fudhatu.
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!
Kiristoosis akkasuma luba ol aanaa taʼuuf of hin ulfeessine. Waaqni garuu, “Ati Ilma koo ti; ani harʼa si dhalcheera” jedheen.
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)
Iddoo biraattis, “Akkuma sirna Malkiiseedeqitti, ati luba bara baraa ti” jedha. (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].
Yesuus yeroo lafa irra jiraachaa turetti iyya guddaa fi imimmaaniin isa duʼa isa oolchuu dandaʼu sanatti kadhannaa fi waammata dhiʼeeffate; sababii inni sodaa Waaqaa qabuufis kadhannaan isaa ni dhagaʼameef.
8 Although Christ is [God’s own Son], he learned to obey [God] by suffering [before he died].
Inni Ilma taʼu iyyuu dhiphina isaa sana irraa ajajamuu barate;
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)
erga kan mudaa hin qabne taasifamee immoo warra isaaf ajajaman hundaaf burqaa fayyina bara baraa taʼe. (aiōnios g166)
10 Furthermore, God has designated him to be [our] Supreme Priest in the way that Melchizedek was a Supreme Priest.
Akka sirna Malkiiseedeqittis luba ol aanaa jedhamee Waaqaan waamame.
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.
Nu waaʼee isaa waan jennu baayʼee qabna; isin garuu waan hubachuutti dadhaboo taataniif isinii ibsuun rakkisaa dha.
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].
Isin yeroo kanatti barsiistota taʼuu qabdu ture; isin immoo nama waaʼee dhugaa dubbii Waaqaa kan jalqabaa irra deebiʼee isin barsiisutu isin barbaachisa. Nyaata jabaataas utuu hin taʼin aannan isin barbaachisa.
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!
Namni aannaniin jiraatu kam iyyuu waan amma illee daaʼima taʼeef dubbii qajeelummaa hin beeku.
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].
Nyaanni jabaataan garuu namoota bilchaatoo kanneen waan gaarii fi waan hamaa gargar baasanii beekuuf of leenjisaniif taʼa.
