Hebritɔwo 5
1 Wotiaa nunɔlagã ɖe sia ɖe tso amegbetɔwo dome, eye wodea dɔ asi nɛ be wòanɔ ŋgɔ na yewo le mawusubɔsubɔ ƒe nyawo me, eye wòatsɔ nunanawo kple nu vɔ̃ ŋuti vɔsawo aɖo Mawu ŋkume.
For every high priest taken from among men, is appointed to perform for men the things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins:
2 Nunɔlagã sia tea ŋu gbɔa dzi ɖi na numanyala siwo le mɔ tram la esi eya ŋutɔ hã nye gbɔdzɔgbɔdzɔtɔ le mɔ geɖewo nu.
being able to have a right measure of compassion on the ignorant and erring: because he himself, also, is surrounded with infirmity.
3 Esia tae wòle be wòasa vɔ ɖe eya ŋutɔ ƒe nu vɔ̃ kple ame bubuwo ƒe nu vɔ̃wo ta.
And for that reason he must, as for the people, so, also, for himself, offer sacrifices for sins.
4 Ame aɖeke metsɔa bubu sia dea eɖokui ŋuti o; ele be Mawu nayɔe abe ale si wòyɔ Aron ene.
Now, as no one takes this honor to himself, but he who is called of God, as Aaron was;
5 Eya ta Kristo hã metsɔ nunɔlagã ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe da ɖe eɖokui dzi o ke boŋ Mawu gblɔ nɛ be, “Wòe nye vinye ŋutsu, egbe mezu fofowò.”
so, also, Christ did not assume to himself the honor of being a High Priest: but he who said to him, "Thou art my Son, to-day I have begotten thee"--
also says, in another place, "Thou art a Priest for ever, according to the order of Melchisedec." (aiōn g165)
7 Esi Yesu nɔ agbe le anyigba dzi la, ewɔ gbedodoɖawo kple kukuɖeɖewo kple ɣli kple aɖatsi na eya ame si si ŋusẽ le be wòaɖee tso ku me, eye wòɖo toe le eƒe bubu kple ɖokuibɔbɔ ta.
He, (who, in the days of his flesh, having, with loud cries, and with tears, offered up prayers and supplications to him who was able to save him from death, and was delivered from his fear, )
8 Togbɔ be eyae nye Mawu vi hã la, esrɔ̃ ɖokuibɔbɔ le fukpekpe siwo me wòto,
though being a Son, learned obedience by the things which he suffered;
and being made perfect, became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey him; (aiōnios g166)
10 Eye Mawu ɖoe be wòanye nunɔlagã abe Melkizedek ene.
being proclaimed by God a High Priest forever, after the order of Melchisedec:
11 Nya geɖewo li si wòle be míagblɔ le nu sia ŋu, gake esi mietea ŋu sea nu gɔme kabakaba o ta la, esesẽna be míaɖe nya siawo me na mi.
(concerning whom we have much to say, and of difficult interpretation, since you have become dull of apprehension.
12 Le nyateƒe me la, togbɔ be fifia ele be mianye nufialawo hã la, miegahiã ame aɖe kokoko be wòagagbugbɔ afia gɔmedzenuwo mi tso Mawu ƒe nya ƒe nyateƒewo ŋu. Miehiã notsi, ke menye nuɖuɖu sesẽ o!
For, when, by this time, you ought to be teachers, you have need of some one to teach you again the first elements of the oracles of God; and have become such as need milk, rather than solid food.
13 Ame sia ame si ganoa notsi esi wònye ɖevi ko ta la, mate ŋu ase nufiafia tso dzɔdzɔenyenye ŋuti gɔme o.
Now every one who uses milk, is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is a babe:
14 Ke nuɖuɖu sesẽ nye ame tsitsiwo tɔ, ame siwo to eŋudɔwɔwɔ atraɖii me he wo ɖokuiwo be woate ŋu ade vovototo nyui kple vɔ̃ dome.
but solid food is for those of a mature age, whose faculties have been habituated by long practice to discriminate both good and evil.
