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, being taken from among men, is appointed for men in 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 be forbearing toward the ignorant and the erring, since he himself also is compassed with infirmity;
3 και δια ταυτην οφειλει καθωσ περι του λαου ουτωσ και περι εαυτου προσφερειν υπερ αμαρτιων
and by reason of this infirmity he must, as for the people, so also for himself, offer sacrifice for sins.
4 και ουχ εαυτω τισ λαμβανει την τιμην αλλα καλουμενοσ υπο του θεου καθαπερ και ααρων
And no one taketh this honor to himself, but when called by God, as was Aaron.
5 ουτωσ και ο χριστοσ ουχ εαυτον εδοξασεν γενηθηναι αρχιερεα αλλ ο λαλησασ προσ αυτον υιοσ μου ει συ εγω σημερον γεγεννηκα σε
Thus Christ did not glorify himself to be made high-priest, but he who said to him, “Thou art my Son, I this day have begotten thee;”
as also he saith in another place, “Thou art a priest for ever, after the order of Melchizedek.” (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
Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications, with strong crying and tears, to him that was able to save him from death, and was heard by reason of his godly reverence,
8 καιπερ ων υιοσ εμαθεν αφ ων επαθεν την υπακοην
though a son yet learned his obedience from what he suffered;
and being perfected became the author of everlasting salvation to all who obey him, (aiōnios g166)
10 προσαγορευθεισ υπο του θεου αρχιερευσ κατα την ταξιν μελχισεδεκ
being addressed by God as high-priest after the order of Melchizedek.
11 περι ου πολυσ ημιν ο λογοσ και δυσερμηνευτοσ λεγειν επει νωθροι γεγονατε ταισ ακοαισ
Of whom we have much to say, and hard to be explained, seeing ye have become dull of hearing.
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 while on account of the length of time ye ought to be teachers, ye again have need that some one should teach you the first elements of the oracles of God, and are become such as have need of milk, and not of solid food.
13 πασ γαρ ο μετεχων γαλακτοσ απειροσ λογου δικαιοσυνησ νηπιοσ γαρ εστιν
For every one that feedeth on milk is unacquainted with 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 belongs to those who are of full age, who by use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
