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, 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 Nunɔlagã sia tea ŋu gbɔa dzi ɖi na numanyala siwo le mɔ tram la esi eya ŋutɔ hã nye gbɔdzɔgbɔdzɔtɔ le mɔ geɖewo nu.
The high priest can deal gently with those who are ignorant and going astray, because he himself is also surrounded with weakness.
3 Esia tae wòle be wòasa vɔ ɖe eya ŋutɔ ƒe nu vɔ̃ kple ame bubuwo ƒe nu vɔ̃wo ta.
Because of this, he must offer sacrifices for sins for the people, as well as for himself.
4 Ame aɖeke metsɔa bubu sia dea eɖokui ŋuti o; ele be Mawu nayɔe abe ale si wòyɔ Aron ene.
Nobody takes this honor on himself, but he is called by God, just like 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 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."
As he says also in another place, "You are a priest forever, after the order of Melchizedek." (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.
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 Togbɔ be eyae nye Mawu vi hã la, esrɔ̃ ɖokuibɔbɔ le fukpekpe siwo me wòto,
Although he was a Son, he learned obedience by the things which he suffered.
Having been made perfect, he became to all of those who obey him the author of everlasting salvation, (aiōnios g166)
10 Eye Mawu ɖoe be wòanye nunɔlagã abe Melkizedek ene.
named by God a high priest after the order of Melchizedek.
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.
About him we have many words to say, and hard to interpret, seeing you have become dull of hearing.
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 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 Ame sia ame si ganoa notsi esi wònye ɖevi ko ta la, mate ŋu ase nufiafia tso dzɔdzɔenyenye ŋuti gɔme o.
For everyone who lives on milk is not experienced in the word of righteousness, for he is a baby.
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 who are full grown, who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern good and evil.
