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 appointed to perform for men the things pertaining to God, that he may 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 have a right measure of compassion on the ignorant and erring: because he himself, also, is surrounded with infirmity.

3 Nʼihi nke a, ọ ghaghị ịchụ aja maka mmehie nke onwe ya na nke ndị mmadụ.

And for that reason he must, as for the people, so, also, for himself, offer sacrifices for sins.

4 O nweghị onye na-ewere ugwu a nʼonwe ya, kama ọ bụ Chineke na-akpọ dịka o si kpọọ Erọn.

Now, as no one takes this honor to himself, but he who is called of God, 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, 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"--

6 Nʼebe ọzọ, o kwuru, “Dị ka usoro Melkizedek si dị, ị bụ onye nchụaja ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.” (aiōn g165)

also says, in another place, "Thou art a Priest for ever, according to 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.

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 Ọ bụ ezie na ọ bụ Ọkpara ma ọ mụtara irube isi site nʼahụhụ ọ tara.

though being a Son, learned obedience by 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 being made perfect, became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey him; (aiōnios g166)

10 Ebe Chineke mere ya onyeisi nchụaja nʼusoro Melkizedek.

being proclaimed by God a High Priest forever, 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 say, and of difficult interpretation, since you have become dull of apprehension.

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, 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 Onye ọbụla nke na-aṅụ ara, ka bụ nwantakịrị, ọ matabeghị ozizi banyere ezi omume.

Now every one who uses milk, is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is a babe:

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 food is for those of a mature age, whose faculties have been habituated by long practice to discriminate both good and evil.
