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.
FOR, every high-priest taken from among men, is constituted on behalf of men for those services which relate to God, that he should offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins:
2 Nake nĩahotaga gũkirĩrĩria arĩa matarĩ na ũmenyo o na arĩa maturuurĩte, kuona atĩ o nake nĩarĩ ũhũthũ wake.
being able to feel tenderly for the ignorant and erroneous; forasmuch as he is himself encompassed with infirmity.
3 Ũndũ ũyũ nĩguo ũtũmaga arute magongona ma kũhoroheria mehia make mwene, o ta ũrĩa amarutaga nĩ ũndũ wa mehia ma kĩrĩndĩ.
And on this account he ought, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer sacrifice for sins.
4 Gũtirĩ mũndũ wĩheaga gĩtĩĩo kĩu we mwene; no nginya akorwo etĩtwo nĩ Ngai, o ta ũrĩa Harũni eetirwo.
And no man assumes to himself this honour, but he who is called of God, even as 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.”
So Christ also did not himself assume the glory to become high-priest, but he gave it who spake to him, “Thou art my Son; I have this day begotten thee.”
6 Na handũ hangĩ oigĩte atĩrĩ, “Wee ũrĩ mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai nginya tene, o ta ũrĩa Melikisedeki aatariĩ.” (aiōn g165)
As he saith also in another passage, “Thou art priest forever after the order of Melchisedec;” (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.
who in the days of his flesh, with strong crying and tears, having offered up prayers and supplications to him who was able to save him from death, and being heard for his reverential awe,
8 O na gũtuĩka aarĩ mũriũ, nĩerutire gwathĩka nĩ ũndũ wa ũrĩa aanyariirĩkire,
though he was a son, he learned obedience from the things which he suffered:
9 na aarĩkia gũtuuo mwagĩrĩru kũna, agĩtuĩka kĩhumo kĩa ũhonokio ũrĩa ũtagaathira harĩ arĩa othe mamwathĩkagĩra, (aiōnios g166)
and complete himself, he became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey him; (aiōnios g166)
10 nake Ngai akĩmũtua mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai mũnene o ta ũrĩa Melikisedeki aatariĩ.
publicly proclaimed of God high-priest after the order of Melchisedec.
11 Nĩtũrĩ na maũndũ maingĩ tũngĩmwĩra makoniĩ ũhoro ũyũ, no nĩ hinya kũmũtaarĩria tondũ mũtinyiitaga maũndũ narua.
Concerning whom we have much to discourse, and of difficult interpretation to explain, seeing ye are dull of hearing.
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!
For though ye ought for the time to be teachers of others, ye have again need that some one teach you the leading principles of the oracles of God; and are become as those who need milk, and not solid food.
13 Mũndũ o wothe ũnyuuaga iria, tondũ no gakenge-rĩ, ndangĩmenya wega ũhoro wa ũrutani wa ũthingu.
For every one who useth milk is inexperienced in the word of righteousness: for he is an infant.
14 No irio iria nyũmũ nĩ cia andũ arĩa agima, arĩa nĩ ũndũ wa kũmenyera gũcihũthĩra kaingĩ, nĩmerutĩte gũkũũrana wega na ũũru.
But solid nourishment is proper for grown men, even as many as by habit have their organs of perception exercised for the discernment both of good and evil.
