Ebrei 5
1 Perciocchè ogni sommo sacerdote, assunto d'infra gli uomini, è costituito per gli uomini, nelle cose appartenenti a Dio, acciocchè offerisca offerte e sacrificii per li peccati;
Every [Jewish] Supreme Priest was chosen by [God] {[God] chose every [Jewish] Supreme Priest} from among [ordinary] men. They were appointed {[He] appointed them} in order that they would come before him on behalf of the people. [Specifically, God appointed them] in order that they would bring gifts [to him on behalf of the people], and in order to sacrifice [animals to him] for people who sinned.
2 potendo aver convenevol compassione degli ignoranti, ed erranti; poichè egli stesso ancora è circondato d'infermità.
The Supreme Priests could deal gently with those who ignorantly sinned, since the Supreme Priests themselves tended to sin easily.
3 E per esse [infermità] è obbligato d'offerir [sacrificii] per li peccati, così per sè stesso, come per lo popolo.
As a result, they had to offer something to God for their own sins, just like [they had to offer something to God] for [other] people who sinned.
4 E niuno si prende [da sè stesso] quell'onore; ma colui [l'ha], ch'è chiamato da Dio, come Aaronne.
Furthermore, [it is an honor to be a Supreme Priest] so no one honors himself [by appointing himself to become a Supreme Priest]. Instead, God chose each man [to become a Supreme Priest], as he chose Aaron [to be the first Supreme Priest].
5 Così ancora Cristo non si è glorificato sè stesso, per esser fatto sommo sacerdote; ma [colui l'ha glorificato], che gli ha detto: Tu sei il mio Figliuolo, oggi io ti ho generato.
Similarly, Christ also did not honor himself by appointing himself to become a Supreme Priest. Instead, God [appointed him by] saying to [him what he never said to any other priest, what the] Psalmist wrote in the Scriptures, You [(sg)] are my Son! Today I have declared that I am your Father!
6 Siccome ancora altrove dice: Tu [sei] sacerdote in eterno, secondo l'ordine di Melchisedec. (aiōn g165)
And he also said [to Christ what the Psalmist wrote] in another Scripture passage, You are a priest eternally just like Melchizedek was a priest. (aiōn g165)
7 Il quale a' giorni della sua carne, avendo, con gran grido, e lagrime, offerte orazioni e supplicazioni, a colui che lo poteva salvar da morte; ed essendo stato esaudito per la sua pietà;
When Christ lived on the earth [MTY], he prayed [DOU] to God and tearfully cried out loudly to him. [Specifically], he asked [God], who was able to help him, that he would not [fear the sufferings just before] he died. As a result, God listened to him, because Christ reverently submitted [to what God wanted him to do].
8 benchè fosse Figliuolo, pur dalle cose che sofferse imparò l'ubbidienza.
Although Christ is [God’s own Son], he learned to obey [God] by suffering [before he died].
9 Ed essendo stato appieno consacrato, è stato fatto cagione di salute eterna a tutti coloro che gli ubbidiscono; (aiōnios g166)
By becoming (all [that] God intended him to be/perfect), [he has now] become fully qualified [to be our Supreme Priest. As a result, he is the one who saves] eternally all who obey him. (aiōnios g166)
10 essendo nominato da Dio sommo sacerdote, secondo l'ordine di Melchisedec.
Furthermore, God has designated him to be [our] Supreme Priest in the way that Melchizedek was a Supreme Priest.
11 Del quale abbiamo a dir cose assai, e malagevoli a dichiarar con parole; perciocchè voi siete divenuti tardi d'orecchi.
Although there is much to say [to you(pl)] about [how Christ resembles Melchizedek], this is hard [for me] to explain [to you] because you now understand things so slowly.
12 Poichè, là dove voi dovreste esser maestri, rispetto al tempo, avete di nuovo bisogno che vi s'insegnino quali [sieno] gli elementi del principio degli oracoli di Dio; e siete venuti a tale, che avete bisogno di latte, e non di cibo sodo.
[You became Christians long ago. So] by now you should be teaching [spiritual truths to others]. But you still need someone to teach you again the truths that God has revealed. [I am talking about] the truths that we teach people [when they] first [believe in Christ]. You need [those elementary truths] like babies need milk [MET]. You are not [ready for advanced teaching, which is like] the solid food [which mature people need] [MET].
13 Perciocchè, chiunque usa il latte non ha ancora l'uso della parola della giustizia; poichè egli è un piccolo fanciullo.
Remember that those [who are still learning these elementary truths] [MET] have not become familiar with [what God] says concerning becoming/being righteous. They are [just like] [MET] babies [who need] milk!
14 Ma il cibo sodo è per i compiuti, i quali, per l'abitudine, hanno i sensi esercitati a discernere il bene ed il male.
But [the more advanced spiritual truth] is for people who are [spiritually] mature, just like [MET] solid food is for [people who are physically] mature. They can tell the difference between what is good and what is evil, because they have trained themselves [to keep doing that].
