Hebræos 5
1 Omnis namque pontifex ex hominibus assumptus, pro hominibus constituitur in iis quæ sunt ad Deum, ut offerat dona, et sacrificia pro peccatis:
For every high priest taken from among the people is appointed to represent the people in matters related to God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins.
2 qui condolere possit iis qui ignorant et errant: quoniam et ipse circumdatus est infirmitate:
He is able to deal gently with those who are ignorant and going astray, since he himself is subject to weakness.
3 et propterea debet, quemadmodum pro populo, ita etiam et pro semetipso offerre pro peccatis.
That is why he is obligated to offer sacrifices for his own sins, as well as for the sins of the people.
4 Nec quisquam sumit sibi honorem, sed qui vocatur a Deo, tamquam Aaron.
No one takes this honor for himself, but receives it when he is called by God, just as Aaron was.
5 Sic et Christus non semetipsum clarificavit ut pontifex fieret: sed qui locutus est ad eum: Filius meus es tu, ego hodie genui te.
In the same way, Christ did not glorify himself in becoming a high priest, but was appointed by the one who said to him, “Yoʋ are my Son; today I have begotten yoʋ.”
6 Quemadmodum et in alio loco dicit: Tu es sacerdos in æternum, secundum ordinem Melchisedech. (aiōn g165)
And in another passage he says, “Yoʋ are a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.” (aiōn g165)
7 Qui in diebus carnis suæ preces, supplicationesque ad eum qui possit illum salvum facere a morte cum clamore valido, et lacrimis offerens, exauditus est pro sua reverentia.
In the days of his flesh, Jesus offered up prayers and supplications, with loud cries and tears, to the one who was able to save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverence.
8 Et quidem cum esset Filius Dei, didicit ex iis, quæ passus est, obedientiam:
Even though he was the Son, he learned obedience from what he suffered.
And having been made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey him (aiōnios g166)
10 appellatus a Deo pontifex juxta ordinem Melchisedech.
and was designated by God as a high priest according to the order of Melchizedek.
11 De quo nobis grandis sermo, et ininterpretabilis ad dicendum: quoniam imbecilles facti estis ad audiendum.
On this topic we have much to say, and it is hard to explain, since you have become sluggish in hearing.
12 Etenim cum deberetis magistri esse propter tempus, rursum indigetis ut vos doceamini quæ sint elementa exordii sermonum Dei: et facti estis quibus lacte opus sit, non solido cibo.
For though you ought to be teachers by this time, you need someone to teach you again the basic principles of the oracles of God. You need milk, not solid food.
13 Omnis enim, qui lactis est particeps, expers est sermonis justitiæ: parvulus enim est.
Anyone who lives on milk is unacquainted with the teaching about righteousness, for he is an infant.
14 Perfectorum autem est solidus cibus: eorum, qui pro consuetudine exercitatos habent sensus ad discretionem boni ac mali.
But solid food is for the mature, whose faculties have been trained by practice to distinguish between good and evil.
