Προς Εβραιους 5
1 πας γαρ αρχιερευς εξ ανθρωπων λαμβανομενος υπερ ανθρωπων καθισταται τα προς τον θεον ινα προσφερη δωρα τε και θυσιας υπερ αμαρτιων
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 μετριοπαθειν δυναμενος τοις αγνοουσιν και πλανωμενοις επει και αυτος περικειται ασθενειαν
being able to have a right measure of compassion on the ignorant and erring: because he himself, also, is surrounded with infirmity.
3 και δια ταυτην οφειλει καθως περι του λαου ουτως και περι εαυτου προσφερειν υπερ αμαρτιων
And for that reason he must, as for the people, so, also, for himself, offer sacrifices for sins.
4 και ουχ εαυτω τις λαμβανει την τιμην αλλα καλουμενος υπο του θεου καθαπερ και ααρων
Now, as no one takes this honor to himself, but he who is called of God, as Aaron was;
5 ουτως και ο χριστος ουχ εαυτον εδοξασεν γενηθηναι αρχιερεα αλλ ο λαλησας προς αυτον υιος μου ει συ εγω σημερον γεγεννηκα σε
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 ος εν ταις ημεραις της σαρκος αυτου δεησεις τε και ικετηριας προς τον δυναμενον σωζειν αυτον εκ θανατου μετα κραυγης ισχυρας και δακρυων προσενεγκας και εισακουσθεις απο της ευλαβειας
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 καιπερ ων υιος εμαθεν αφ ων επαθεν την υπακοην
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 προσαγορευθεις υπο του θεου αρχιερευς κατα την ταξιν μελχισεδεκ
being proclaimed by God a High Priest forever, after the order of Melchisedec:
11 περι ου πολυς ημιν ο λογος και δυσερμηνευτος λεγειν επει νωθροι γεγονατε ταις ακοαις
(concerning whom we have much to say, and of difficult interpretation, since you have become dull of apprehension.
12 και γαρ οφειλοντες ειναι διδασκαλοι δια τον χρονον παλιν χρειαν εχετε του διδασκειν υμας τινα τα στοιχεια της αρχης των λογιων του θεου και γεγονατε χρειαν εχοντες γαλακτος και ου στερεας τροφης
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 πας γαρ ο μετεχων γαλακτος απειρος λογου δικαιοσυνης νηπιος γαρ εστιν
Now every one who uses milk, is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is a babe:
14 τελειων δε εστιν η στερεα τροφη των δια την εξιν τα αισθητηρια γεγυμνασμενα εχοντων προς διακρισιν καλου τε και κακου
but solid food is for those of a mature age, whose faculties have been habituated by long practice to discriminate both good and evil.
