Ndị Hibru 5
1 A na-esite nʼetiti ndị mmadụ họrọ onyeisi nchụaja ọbụla, ka ọ nnọchite anya ndị mmadụ nʼihe banyere ife Chineke, ka ọ na-eche onyinye na-achụkwa aja maka mmehie dị iche iche.
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 Ebe ọ bụ na ya onwe ya bụ onye na-adịghị ike, ọ pụrụ iji nwayọọ na-emeso ndị na-amaghị ihe na ndị na-ejehie ụzọ omume.
being able to feel tenderly for the ignorant and erroneous; forasmuch as he is himself encompassed with infirmity.
3 Nʼihi nke a, ọ ghaghị ịchụ aja maka mmehie nke onwe ya na nke ndị mmadụ.
And on this account he ought, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer sacrifice for sins.
4 O nweghị onye na-ewere ugwu a nʼonwe ya, kama ọ bụ Chineke na-akpọ dịka o si kpọọ Erọn.
And no man assumes to himself this honour, but he who is called of God, even as Aaron was.
5 Nʼotu aka ahụ kwa, Kraịst enyeghị onwe ya ebube nke ịbụ onyeisi nchụaja, kama Chineke sịrị ya, “Ị bụ Ọkpara m. Taa abụrụla m Nna gị.”
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 Nʼebe ọzọ, o kwuru, “Dị ka usoro Melkizedek si dị, ị bụ onye nchụaja ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.” (aiōn g165)
As he saith also in another passage, “Thou art priest forever after the order of Melchisedec;” (aiōn g165)
7 Mgbe ọ ka dị ndụ nʼanụ ahụ, o ji oke olu na anya mmiri kpee ekpere rịọkwa arịrịọ nye onye ahụ pụrụ ịzọpụta ya site nʼọnwụ. A nụkwara olu ya nʼihi ndụ nrube isi na mweda nʼala ya.
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 Ọ bụ ezie na ọ bụ Ọkpara ma ọ mụtara irube isi site nʼahụhụ ọ tara.
though he was a son, he learned obedience from the things which he suffered:
9 Ma mgbe e mere ka o zuo oke, ọ ghọrọ isi nke nzọpụta ebighị ebi nye ndị niile na-erubere ya isi. (aiōnios g166)
and complete himself, he became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey him; (aiōnios g166)
10 Ebe Chineke mere ya onyeisi nchụaja nʼusoro Melkizedek.
publicly proclaimed of God high-priest after the order of Melchisedec.
11 Ọ dị ọtụtụ ihe ọzọ anyị nwere ikwu banyere ya, ma o siri ike ịkọwa ya nʼihi na unu adịghị amụta ihe ọsịịsọ.
Concerning whom we have much to discourse, and of difficult interpretation to explain, seeing ye are dull of hearing.
12 Nʼezie, ugbu a, unu kwesiri ịbụ ndị ozizi nye ndị ọzọ, ma unu ka nọ na-achọ onye ga-ezikwa unu ụkpụrụ mbụ nke okwu Chineke. Unu na-achọ mmiri ara kama nri siri ike.
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 Onye ọbụla nke na-aṅụ ara, ka bụ nwantakịrị, ọ matabeghị ozizi banyere ezi omume.
For every one who useth milk is inexperienced in the word of righteousness: for he is an infant.
14 Nri dị ike dịrị ndị tozuru oke, ndị siterela nʼihe ha na-eme zụọ onwe ha ịchọpụta ihe dị iche nʼetiti ezi ihe na ajọ ihe.
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.
