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, 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 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.
The high priest can deal gently with those who are ignorant and going astray, because he himself is also surrounded with weakness.
3 Nʼihi nke a, ọ ghaghị ịchụ aja maka mmehie nke onwe ya na nke ndị mmadụ.
Because of this, he must offer sacrifices for sins for the people, as well as for himself.
4 O nweghị onye na-ewere ugwu a nʼonwe ya, kama ọ bụ Chineke na-akpọ dịka o si kpọọ Erọn.
Nobody takes this honor on himself, but he is called by God, just like 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 didn’t glorify himself to be made a high priest, but it was he who said to him, “You are my Son. Today I have become your father.”
6 Nʼebe ọzọ, o kwuru, “Dị ka usoro Melkizedek si dị, ị bụ onye nchụaja ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.” (aiōn g165)
As he says also in another place, “You are a priest forever, after the order of Melchizedek.” (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, in the days of his flesh, having offered up prayers and petitions with strong crying and tears to him who was able to save him from death, and having been heard for his godly fear,
8 Ọ bụ ezie na ọ bụ Ọkpara ma ọ mụtara irube isi site nʼahụhụ ọ tara.
though he was a Son, yet 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)
Having been made perfect, he became to all of those who obey him the author of eternal salvation, (aiōnios g166)
10 Ebe Chineke mere ya onyeisi nchụaja nʼusoro Melkizedek.
named by God a high priest after the order of Melchizedek.
11 Ọ dị ọtụtụ ihe ọzọ anyị nwere ikwu banyere ya, ma o siri ike ịkọwa ya nʼihi na unu adịghị amụta ihe ọsịịsọ.
About him we have many words to say, and hard to interpret, seeing you have become 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 although by this time you should be teachers, you again need to have someone teach you the rudiments of the first principles of the revelations of God. You have come to need milk, and not solid food.
13 Onye ọbụla nke na-aṅụ ara, ka bụ nwantakịrị, ọ matabeghị ozizi banyere ezi omume.
For everyone who lives on milk is not experienced in the word of righteousness, for he is a baby.
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 who are full grown, who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern good and evil.
