Hebrews 5
1 For ech bischop takun of men, is ordeyned for men in these thingis `that ben to God, that he offre yiftis and sacrifices for synnes.
For every high priest, being taken from among people, is appointed for people in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins.
2 Which may togidere sorewe with hem, that beth vnkunnynge and erren; for also he is enuyrounned with infirmytee.
The high priest can deal gently with those who are ignorant and going astray, because he himself is also surrounded with weakness.
3 And therfor he owith, as for the puple, so also for hym silf, to offre for synnes.
Because of this, he must offer sacrifices for sins for the people, as well as for himself.
4 Nethir ony man taketh to hym onour, but he that is clepid of God, as Aaron was.
Nobody takes this honor on himself, but he is called by God, just like Aaron was.
5 So Crist clarifiede not hym silf, that he were bischop, but he that spak to hym, Thou art my sone, to dai Y gendride thee.
So also Christ did not glorify himself to be made a high priest, but it was he who said to him, "You are my Son. Today I have become your Father."
6 As `in anothere place he seith, Thou art a prest with outen ende, aftir the ordre of Melchisedech. (aiōn g165)
As he says also in another place, "You are a priest forever, after the order of Melchizedek." (aiōn g165)
7 Which in the daies of his fleisch offride, with greet cry and teeris, preieris and bisechingis to hym that myyte make hym saaf fro deth, and was herd for his reuerence.
In the days of his flesh, he offered up prayers and petitions with loud cries and tears to him who was able to save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverence.
8 And whanne he was Goddis sone, he lernyde obedience of these thingis that be suffride;
Although he was a Son, he learned obedience by the things which he suffered.
9 and he brouyt to the ende is maad cause of euerlastinge heelthe to alle that obeischen to hym, (aiōnios g166)
Having been made perfect, he became to all of those who obey him the author of everlasting salvation, (aiōnios g166)
10 and is clepid of God a bischop, bi the ordre of Melchisedech.
named by God a high priest after the order of Melchizedek.
11 Of whom ther is to vs a greet word for to seie, and able to be expowned, for ye ben maad feble to here.
About him we have many words to say, and hard to interpret, seeing you have become dull of hearing.
12 For whanne ye ouyten to be maistris for tyme, eftsoone ye neden that ye be tauyt, whiche ben the lettris of the bigynnyng of Goddis wordis. And ye ben maad thilke, to whiche is nede of mylk, and not sad mete.
For when by reason of the time you ought to be teachers, you again need to have someone teach you the rudiments of the first principles of the oracles of God. You have come to need milk, not solid food.
13 For ech that is parcenere of mylk, is with out part of the word of riytwisnesse, for he is a litil child.
For everyone who lives on milk is not experienced in the word of righteousness, for he is a baby.
14 But of perfit men is sad mete, of hem that for custom han wittis exercisid to discrecioun of good and of yuel.
But solid food is for those who are full grown, who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern good and evil.
