Hiperu 5

1 Ko ia tohunga nui hoki e tangohia nei i roto i nga tangata, he mea whakatu ratou mo nga mea a nga tangata ki te Atua, hei tapae i nga whakahere, i nga patunga tapu mo nga hara:

For every high priest, being taken from among men, is appointed for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins:

2 E taea e ia te ata hanga ki te hunga e kuware ana, e kotiti ke ana; no te mea e muia ana ano ia e te ngoikore;

who can bear gently with the ignorant and erring, for that he himself also is compassed with infirmity;

3 Na konei i tika ai, kia rite ki tana mo te iwi tana e tapae ai mona ake, hei whakahere mo nga hara.

and by reason thereof is bound, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins.

4 E kore ano hoki tetahi e tango i tenei honore ki a ia ano, engari te tangata e karangatia ana e te Atua, e peratia ana me Arona.

And no man taketh the honour unto himself, but when he is called of God, even as was Aaron.

5 Waihoki ko te Karaiti kahore ana whakanui i a ia hei tohunga nui; na tera ke i ki ra ki a ia, Ko koe taku Tama, nonaianei koe i whakatupuria ai e ahau.

So Christ also glorified not himself to be made a high priest, but he that spake unto him, Thou art my Son, This day have I begotten thee:

6 Pera hoki me tana i ki ai i tetahi atu wahi, Hei tohunga koe ake ake i runga i te ritenga o Merekihereke. (aiōn g165)

as he saith also in another [place], Thou art a priest for ever After the order of Melchizedek. (aiōn g165)

7 I nga ra o tona kikokiko, i tukua e ia he inoi, he karakia, i runga i te karangaranga kaha, i te roimata, ki te Mea kaha ki te whakaora i a ia i te mate, a whakarangona ana mona i wehi ki te Atua;

Who in the days of his flesh, having offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and having been heard for his godly fear,

8 Ahakoa he Tama ia, i whakaakona ia ki te ngohengohe e ona mamae:

though he was a Son, yet learned obedience by the things which he suffered;

9 A ka meinga nei ia kia tino rite, ka waiho ia hei take mo te ora tonu ki te hunga katoa e ngohengohe ana ki a ia; (aiōnios g166)

and having been made perfect, he became unto all them that obey him the author of eternal salvation; (aiōnios g166)

10 He mea karanga na te Atua hei tohunga nui i runga i te ritenga o Merekihereke.

named of God a high priest after the order of Melchizedek.

11 He maha nei a matou korero mo tenei, he uaua ki te whakamarama, he puhoi hoki no koutou ki te whakarongo.

Of whom we have many things to say, and hard of interpretation, seeing ye are become dull of hearing.

12 I te mea hoki ka tika kia waiho koutou hei kaiwhakaako no te mea ka roa nei, na me tuarua te whakaako i a koutou ki nga timatanga rawatanga o nga kupu a te Atua; me waiu hoki he kai ma koutou, kauaka te kai pakeke.

For when by reason of the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need again that some one teach you the rudiments of the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of solid food.

13 Ko nga tangata katoa hoki e kai ana i te waiu, he kuware ratou ki te kupu o te tika, he kohungahunga hoki.

For every one that partaketh of milk is without experience of the word of righteousness; for he is a babe.

14 Ma nga pakeke e tika ai te kai maro kua taungatia nei o ratou hinengaro e nga meatanga maha, e wehe ai i te pai, i te kino.

But solid food is for fullgrown men, [even] those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern good and evil.
