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 chief priest — out of men taken — in behalf of men is set in things [pertaining] to God, that he may offer both 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.
able to be gentle to those ignorant and going astray, since himself also is compassed 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 because of this infirmity he ought, as for the people, so also for himself to offer 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 to himself doth take the honour, but he who is called by God, as also Aaron:
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 glorify himself to become chief priest, but He who spake unto him: 'My Son thou art, I to-day have begotten thee;'
6 Mpe, na esika mosusu kati na Makomi, alobaki: « Ozali Nganga-Nzambe mpo na libela, kolanda molongo ya Melishisedeki. » (aiōn g165)
as also in another [place] He saith, 'Thou [art] a priest — to the age, according to the order of Melchisedek;' (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.
who in the days of his flesh both prayers and supplications unto Him who was able to save him from death — with strong crying and tears — having offered up, and having been heard in respect to that which he feared,
8 Atako azalaki Mwana na Nzambe, kasi ayekolaki botosi na nzela ya pasi nyonso oyo amonaki.
through being a Son, did learn by the things which he suffered — the obedience,
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 did become to all those obeying him a cause of salvation age-during, (aiōnios g166)
10 pamba te Nzambe atia Ye Mokonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe, kolanda molongo ya Melishisedeki.
having been addressed by God a chief priest, according to the order of Melchisedek,
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.
concerning whom we have much discourse and of hard explanation to say, since ye have become dull of hearing,
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 even owing to be teachers, because of the time, again ye have need that one teach you what [are] the elements of the beginning of the oracles of God, and ye have become having 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 who is partaking of milk [is] unskilled in the word of righteousness — for he is an infant,
14 Bilei ya makasi ezali mpo na mikolo, ba-oyo bayebi kokesenisa malamu mpe mabe.
and of perfect men is the strong food, who because of the use are having the senses exercised, unto the discernment both of good and of evil.
