Ahibirania 5
1 Rĩu-rĩ, mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũrĩa mũnene o wothe athuuragwo kuuma gatagatĩ ka andũ na agatuuo wa kũmarũgamĩrĩra maũndũ-inĩ marĩa makoniĩ Ngai, nĩguo arutage maruta na magongona nĩ ũndũ wa kũhoroheria mehia.
Every high priest is chosen from the people and is appointed to work for the people as they relate to God. He presents to God both their gifts and sacrifices for their sins.
2 Nake nĩahotaga gũkirĩrĩria arĩa matarĩ na ũmenyo o na arĩa maturuurĩte, kuona atĩ o nake nĩarĩ ũhũthũ wake.
The high priest understands how ignorant and deluded people feel because he also experiences the same kind of human weaknesses.
3 Ũndũ ũyũ nĩguo ũtũmaga arute magongona ma kũhoroheria mehia make mwene, o ta ũrĩa amarutaga nĩ ũndũ wa mehia ma kĩrĩndĩ.
As a result he has to offer sacrifices for his sins as well as for those of the people.
4 Gũtirĩ mũndũ wĩheaga gĩtĩĩo kĩu we mwene; no nginya akorwo etĩtwo nĩ Ngai, o ta ũrĩa Harũni eetirwo.
No one can take the position of high priest for himself; he must be chosen by God, just like Aaron was.
5 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, o nake Kristũ ndaigana kwĩyoera ũgooci wa gũtuĩka mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũrĩa mũnene. No nĩ Ngai wamwĩrire atĩrĩ, “Wee nĩwe Mũrũ wakwa; ũmũthĩ nĩndatuĩka Thoguo.”
In just the same way Christ did not honor himself by becoming high priest. It was God who said to him, “You are my Son. Today I have become your Father.”
6 Na handũ hangĩ oigĩte atĩrĩ, “Wee ũrĩ mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai nginya tene, o ta ũrĩa Melikisedeki aatariĩ.” (aiōn g165)
In another verse, God says, “You are a priest forever, following the order of Melchizedek.” (aiōn g165)
7 Matukũ-inĩ marĩa Jesũ aatũũraga gũkũ thĩ-rĩ, nĩahooyaga na agathaitha Ngai, agĩkayaga mũno agĩitaga maithori kũrĩ ũcio ũngĩahotire kũmũhonokia kuuma gĩkuũ-inĩ, na nĩaiguagwo nĩ ũndũ wa kwĩnyiihia gwake.
Jesus, while he was here in human form, prayed and appealed with loud cries and tears to God, the one who was able to save him from death. Jesus was heard because of his respect for God.
8 O na gũtuĩka aarĩ mũriũ, nĩerutire gwathĩka nĩ ũndũ wa ũrĩa aanyariirĩkire,
Even though he was God's Son, Jesus learned through suffering what obedience really means.
9 na aarĩkia gũtuuo mwagĩrĩru kũna, agĩtuĩka kĩhumo kĩa ũhonokio ũrĩa ũtagaathira harĩ arĩa othe mamwathĩkagĩra, (aiōnios g166)
When his experience was complete, he became the source of eternal salvation to everyone who does what he says, (aiōnios g166)
10 nake Ngai akĩmũtua mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai mũnene o ta ũrĩa Melikisedeki aatariĩ.
having been designated by God as a high priest according to the order of Melchizedek.
11 Nĩtũrĩ na maũndũ maingĩ tũngĩmwĩra makoniĩ ũhoro ũyũ, no nĩ hinya kũmũtaarĩria tondũ mũtinyiitaga maũndũ narua.
We have much to say about Jesus, and it's hard to explain because you don't seem able to understand!
12 Nĩ ũndũ-rĩ, o na gũtuĩka rĩu mwagĩrĩirwo nĩgũkorwo mũrĩ arutani-rĩ, nĩmũbatarĩte mũndũ wa kũmũruta maũndũ marĩa mwarutĩtwo kĩambĩrĩria ma kiugo kĩa Ngai o rĩngĩ. Inyuĩ mũbataire kũheo iria, no ti irio nyũmũ!
By now you should have had enough time to become teachers, but you need someone to teach you the fundamentals, the first principles of God's word. It's like you need to go back to baby milk instead of solid food!
13 Mũndũ o wothe ũnyuuaga iria, tondũ no gakenge-rĩ, ndangĩmenya wega ũhoro wa ũrutani wa ũthingu.
Those who drink baby milk don't have the experience of living the right way—they're just babies.
14 No irio iria nyũmũ nĩ cia andũ arĩa agima, arĩa nĩ ũndũ wa kũmenyera gũcihũthĩra kaingĩ, nĩmerutĩte gũkũũrana wega na ũũru.
Solid food is for grown-ups—those who by always using their brains have learned to tell the difference between good and evil.
