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.
Porque todo o sumo sacerdote, tomado dentre os homens, é constituido a favor dos homens nas coisas concernentes a Deus, para que ofereça dons e sacrifícios pelos pecados;
2 The Supreme Priests could deal gently with those who ignorantly sinned, since the Supreme Priests themselves tended to sin easily.
O qual se possa compadecer ternamente dos ignorantes e errados; pois também ele mesmo está rodeado de fraqueza.
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.
E por esta causa deve ele, tanto pelo povo, como também por si mesmo, oferecer pelos pecados.
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].
E ninguém toma para si esta honra, senão o que é chamado por Deus, como Aarão.
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!
Assim também Cristo se não glorificou a si mesmo, para se fazer sumo sacerdote, mas aquele que lhe disse: Tu és meu Filho, hoje te gerei.
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)
Como também diz noutro lugar: Tu és Sacerdote eternamente, segundo a ordem de Melchisedec, (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].
O qual, nos dias da sua carne, oferecendo, com grande clamor e lágrimas, orações e suplicas ao que o podia livrar da morte, foi ouvido quanto ao que temia.
8 Although Christ is [God’s own Son], he learned to obey [God] by suffering [before he died].
Ainda que era Filho, todavia aprendeu a obediência, pelas coisas que padeceu.
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)
E, sendo ele consumado, veio a ser a causa de eterna salvação para todos os que lhe obedecem; (aiōnios g166)
10 Furthermore, God has designated him to be [our] Supreme Priest in the way that Melchizedek was a Supreme Priest.
Chamado por Deus sumo sacerdote, segundo a ordem de Melchisedec.
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.
Do qual muito temos que dizer, que é difícil de declarar; porquanto vos fizestes negligentes para ouvir.
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].
Porque, devendo já ser mestres, visto o tempo, ainda necessitais de que se vos torne a ensinar quais sejam os primeiros rudimentos das palavras de Deus: e vos haveis feito tais que necessitais de leite, e não de sólido mantimento.
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!
Porque qualquer que ainda se alimenta de leite não está experimentado na palavra da justiça, porque é menino.
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].
Mas o mantimento sólido é para os perfeitos, os quais, já pelo costume, tem os sentidos exercitados para discernir tanto o bem como o mal.
