Vēstule Ebrējiem 5
1 Jo ikviens augsts priesteris, kas no cilvēkiem ņemts, top iecelts pār cilvēkiem tanīs lietās, kas priekš Dieva jādara, lai tas upurē dāvanas un upurus par grēkiem,
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 Un var iežēloties par tiem, kas nezin un alojās, tāpēc ka viņš pats arīdzan ar vājību apņemts.
The Supreme Priests could deal gently with those who ignorantly sinned, since the Supreme Priests themselves tended to sin easily.
3 Un šās vājības dēļ viņam jāupurē par grēkiem, tā kā priekš tiem ļaudīm, tāpat arī priekš sevis paša.
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 Un neviens neņem pats sev to godu, bet kā kurš no Dieva top aicināts, tā kā arī Ārons.
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 Tāpat arī Kristus nav pats Sevi pagodinājis, ka taptu par augstu priesteri, bet Tas, kas uz Viņu ir runājis: Tu esi Mans Dēls, šodien Es Tevi esmu dzemdinājis.
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!
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 Šis (Kristus) Savās miesas dienās, lūgšanas un aizlūgšanas ar stipru brēkšanu un asarām ir upurējis Tam, kas Viņu no nāves varēja izglābt, un ir paklausīts, tāpēc ka Viņš Dievu turēja godā.
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 Un jebšu Dēls būdams, tomēr Viņš paklausību ir mācījies caur to, ko ir cietis.
Although Christ is [God’s own Son], he learned to obey [God] by suffering [before he died].
9 Un pilnīgs tapis, Viņš ir palicis visiem, kas Viņam paklausa, par mūžīgas dzīvošanas gādātāju; (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 Un no Dieva ir nosaukts par augstu priesteri pēc Melhizedeka kārtas.
Furthermore, God has designated him to be [our] Supreme Priest in the way that Melchizedek was a Supreme Priest.
11 Par to mums būtu daudz ko runāt, to izstāstīt ir grūti, tāpēc ka jūs kūtri palikuši pie uzklausīšanās.
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 Jo jums, kam sen laikiem pienākas būt mācītājiem, atkal vajag, ka topat mācīti, kādas ir tās pirmās Dieva vārdu sākuma mācības; un esat palikuši par tādiem, kam piena vajag un ne cietas barības.
[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 Jo ikviens, kas tikai pienu bauda, tas vēl ir nesapraša iekš tā taisnības vārda, jo tas ir bērns.
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 Bet pieaugušiem vajag stipra ēdiena, tiem, kam prāts radināts un izmācīts, izšķirt labu un ļaunu.
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].
