< Προς Εβραιους 5 >
1 Πᾶς γὰρ ἀρχιερεὺς ἐξ ἀνθρώπων λαμβανόμενος ὑπὲρ ἀνθρώπων καθίσταται τὰ πρὸς τὸν ˚Θεόν, ἵνα προσφέρῃ δῶρά τε καὶ θυσίας ὑπὲρ ἁμαρτιῶν,
For every high-priest taken from among men, is appointed for the sake of men in things relating to God, that he may offer gifts and sacrifices for sins:
2 μετριοπαθεῖν δυνάμενος τοῖς ἀγνοοῦσι καὶ πλανωμένοις, ἐπεὶ καὶ αὐτὸς περίκειται ἀσθένειαν,
who can have due compassion on the ignorant and those that are going astray; seeing he himself also is surrounded with infirmity:
3 καὶ διʼ αὐτὴν ὀφείλει, καθὼς περὶ τοῦ λαοῦ οὕτως καὶ περὶ αὑτοῦ, προσφέρειν περὶ ἁμαρτιῶν.
and for this reason he ought, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer sacrifice for sins.
4 Καὶ οὐχ ἑαυτῷ τις λαμβάνει τὴν τιμήν, ἀλλὰ καλούμενος ὑπὸ τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ, καθώσπερ καὶ Ἀαρών.
And no one taketh this honor to himself, but he that is called by God, as Aaron was.
5 Οὕτως καὶ ὁ ˚Χριστὸς οὐχ ἑαυτὸν ἐδόξασεν γενηθῆναι ἀρχιερέα, ἀλλʼ ὁ λαλήσας πρὸς αὐτόν, “Υἱός μου εἶ σύ, ἐγὼ σήμερον γεγέννηκά σε.”
So also Christ did not glorify himself to be made an high-priest; but He that said unto Him, "Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee."
6 Καθὼς καὶ ἐν ἑτέρῳ λέγει, “Σὺ ἱερεὺς εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα κατὰ τὴν τάξιν Μελχισέδεκ.” (aiōn )
As He saith also in another place, "Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec." (aiōn )
7 Ὃς ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις τῆς σαρκὸς αὐτοῦ, δεήσεις τε καὶ ἱκετηρίας, πρὸς τὸν δυνάμενον σῴζειν αὐτὸν ἐκ θανάτου, μετὰ κραυγῆς ἰσχυρᾶς καὶ δακρύων προσενέγκας, καὶ εἰσακουσθεὶς ἀπὸ τῆς εὐλαβείας.
Who in the days of his flesh, offered prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears, to Him that was able to save Him from death, and was heard in what He feared;
8 Καίπερ ὢν υἱός, ἔμαθεν ἀφʼ ὧν ἔπαθεν τὴν ὑπακοήν,
but though He was a Son, yet He learned obedience by the things which He suffered: and being thus perfected,
9 καὶ τελειωθεὶς, ἐγένετο πᾶσιν τοῖς ὑπακούουσιν αὐτῷ αἴτιος σωτηρίας αἰωνίου, (aiōnios )
He became the author of eternal salvation to all that obey Him: (aiōnios )
10 προσαγορευθεὶς ὑπὸ τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ ἀρχιερεὺς κατὰ τὴν τάξιν Μελχισέδεκ.
having been declared by God an high-priest after the order of Melchisedec.
11 Περὶ οὗ πολὺς ἡμῖν ὁ λόγος, καὶ δυσερμήνευτος λέγειν, ἐπεὶ νωθροὶ γεγόνατε ταῖς ἀκοαῖς.
Concerning whom we have much to say and difficult to be explained, since ye are become dull of hearing.
12 Καὶ γὰρ ὀφείλοντες εἶναι διδάσκαλοι διὰ τὸν χρόνον, πάλιν χρείαν ἔχετε τοῦ διδάσκειν ὑμᾶς, τινὰ τὰ στοιχεῖα τῆς ἀρχῆς τῶν λογίων τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ, καὶ γεγόνατε χρείαν ἔχοντες γάλακτος, οὐ στερεᾶς τροφῆς.
For whereas ye ought for the time to be teachers of others, ye have need again of some one to teach you the first rudiments of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk and not of solid food.
13 Πᾶς γὰρ ὁ μετέχων γάλακτος ἄπειρος λόγου δικαιοσύνης, νήπιος γάρ ἐστιν.
For every one that wanteth milk, is unacquainted with the doctrine of justification; for he is an infant:
14 Τελείων δέ ἐστιν ἡ στερεὰ τροφή, τῶν διὰ τὴν ἕξιν τὰ αἰσθητήρια γεγυμνασμένα, ἐχόντων πρὸς διάκρισιν, καλοῦ τε καὶ κακοῦ.
but firm food is for persons come to age, who by habit have their senses exercised to a discernment both of good and evil.
