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.
Todo grande sacerdote é escolhido entre o povo para trabalhar pelo povo nas questões relacionadas a Deus. Ele apresenta a Deus tanto as ofertas quanto os sacrifícios pelos pecados de todos.
2 The Supreme Priests could deal gently with those who ignorantly sinned, since the Supreme Priests themselves tended to sin easily.
O grande sacerdote compreende como as pessoas se sentem ignorantes e equivocadas, pois ele também sente o mesmo tipo de fraquezas humanas.
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.
Assim, ele oferece sacrifícios por seus próprios pecados e, também, pelos pecados dos outros.
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].
Ninguém pode se denominar como grande sacerdote; deve ser escolhido por Deus, exatamente como aconteceu com Arão.
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!
Da mesma maneira, Cristo não tomou para si mesmo a honra de se tornar grande sacerdote. Foi Deus quem lhe disse: “Você é o meu Filho. Hoje, eu me tornei o seu Pai.”
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)
Em outra passagem das Sagradas Escrituras, Deus diz: “Você será sacerdote para sempre, seguindo a ordem de Melquisedeque.” (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].
Jesus, enquanto estava entre nós em sua forma humana, orou e pediu entre gritos e lágrimas que Deus o salvasse da morte, pois ele era o único capaz de fazer isso. Jesus foi ouvido porque respeitava a Deus.
8 Although Christ is [God’s own Son], he learned to obey [God] by suffering [before he died].
Embora Jesus fosse Filho de Deus, ele aprendeu, por meio do seu sofrimento, o que realmente significa a obediência.
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)
Quando a sua experiência aqui chegou ao fim, ele se tornou a fonte da salvação eterna 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.
E Deus o designou como grande sacerdote, de acordo com a ordem do sacerdócio de Melquisedeque.
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.
Nós temos muito o que dizer sobre Jesus, mas parece difícil explicar, porque vocês não parecem ser capazes de entender.
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].
Vocês tiveram tempo o bastante para se tornarem mestres, mas ainda precisam de que alguém lhes ensine os princípios básicos da palavra de Deus. É como se vocês precisassem voltar a ser bebês e a tomar leite, em vez de comerem alimentos sólidos.
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!
Aqueles que se alimentam de leite não passam de criancinhas, que não têm experiência para viver de modo justo.
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].
Alimentos sólidos são para adultos, para aqueles que, pela prática, aprenderam a saber a diferença entre o bem e o mal.
