Ba-Ebre 5
1 Mokonzi nyonso ya Banganga-Nzambe aponamaka kati na bato mpe, lokola mosali ya Nzambe, atiamaka mpo na bolamu ya bato kati na makambo oyo etali boyokani na bango elongo na Nzambe. Mosala na ye ezali: kobonzela Nzambe makabo mpe bambeka mpo na masumu ya bato.
For every high priest chosen from among men, is appointed for men, in things pertaining to God, that he may offer gifts and sacrifices for sins:
2 Azali na makoki ya kozala na boboto liboso ya bolembu ya bato oyo bazangi boyebi mpe basalaka masumu, pamba te ye moko mpe azali moto na bolembu.
being able to have compassion on the ignorant and erring, because he himself is beset with infirmity:
3 Yango wana, likolo ya bolembu yango, asengeli kaka te kobonzaka mbeka mpo na masumu ya bato, kasi asengeli mpe kobonzaka yango mpo na masumu na ye moko.
and on account of this, he ought, as for the people, so also for himself, to make offering for sins.
4 Moto moko te akoki komikomisa mokonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe, kasi ezali Nzambe nde akomisaka moto mokonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe soki mpe kaka abengi ye, ndenge ezalaki mpo na Aron.
And no one takes this honor to himself, but he that is called by God, as Aaron also was called.
5 Ndenge moko mpe mpo na Klisto: amikomisaki te Mokonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe, kasi ezali Nzambe nde alobaki na Ye: « Ozali Mwana na Ngai; na mokolo ya lelo, nakomi Tata na Yo. »
So, also, the Christ did not take upon himself the honor of becoming a high priest: but he gave him this honor, who said to him, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee:
6 Mpe, na esika mosusu kati na Makomi, alobaki: « Ozali Nganga-Nzambe mpo na libela, kolanda molongo ya Melishisedeki. » (aiōn g165)
as he says also in another place, Thou art a priest forever, after the order of Melchisedec. (aiōn g165)
7 Wana Yesu azalaki kati na mokili, na mongongo makasi mpe na mpinzoli, azalaki kosambela mpe kobondela Ye oyo akokaki kobikisa Ye na kufa, mpe Nzambe ayokelaki Ye mpo na botosi na Ye.
In the days of his flesh, having offered up prayers and supplications, with strong crying and tears, to him that was able to save him from death, and having been heard with respect to that which he feared,
8 Atako azalaki Mwana na Nzambe, kasi ayekolaki botosi na nzela ya pasi nyonso oyo amonaki.
although he was a Son, he yet learned obedience from the things which he suffered;
9 Mpe tango kaka Nzambe akomisaki Ye ya kokoka, akomaki, mpo na bato nyonso oyo batosaka Ye, Mopesi lobiko ya seko; (aiōnios g166)
and, having been made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation to all that obey him, (aiōnios g166)
10 pamba te Nzambe atia Ye Mokonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe, kolanda molongo ya Melishisedeki.
being called by God a high priest after the order of Melchisedec.
11 Tozali na makambo mingi ya koloba na tina na likambo oyo, kasi ezali pasi mpo na kolimbola yango mpo ete bososolaka lisusu noki te.
Of him we have many things to say, and difficult to be explained, if we do say them, since you are slow in understanding.
12 Bosengelaki wuta kala kokoma balakisi; kasi kino sik’oyo, bozali kaka na posa ete moto ateya bino makambo ya ebandeli ya Liloba na Nzambe. Bokomi kutu na posa ya miliki, kasi ya bilei ya makasi te.
For though you ought to be teachers, considering the time, yet you have need that some one teach you again what are the first elements of the oracles of God; and you have become such as have need of milk, and not of strong food.
13 Nzokande, moto nyonso oyo atikalaka kaka na miliki azali mwana moke mpe ayebi te liloba oyo eteyaka bosembo.
For every one that partakes of milk is unskillful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.
14 Bilei ya makasi ezali mpo na mikolo, ba-oyo bayebi kokesenisa malamu mpe mabe.
But strong food belongs to those who are of mature age, who, by use, have their internal senses exercised to the discerning of both good and evil.
