Hebreus 5
1 Porque todo o sumo sacerdote, tomado dentre os homens, é constituido a favor dos homens nas coisas concernentes a Deus, para que ofereça dons e sacrifícios pelos pecados;
For every High Priest is chosen from among men, and is appointed to act on behalf of men in matters relating to God, in order to offer both gifts and sin-offerings,
2 O qual se possa compadecer ternamente dos ignorantes e errados; pois também ele mesmo está rodeado de fraqueza.
and must be one who is able to bear patiently with the ignorant and erring, because he himself also is beset with infirmity.
3 E por esta causa deve ele, tanto pelo povo, como também por si mesmo, oferecer pelos pecados.
And for this reason he is required to offer sin-offerings not only for the people but also for himself.
4 E ninguém toma para si esta honra, senão o que é chamado por Deus, como Aarão.
And no one takes this honourable office upon himself, but only accepts it when called to it by God, as Aaron was.
5 Assim também Cristo se não glorificou a si mesmo, para se fazer sumo sacerdote, mas aquele que lhe disse: Tu és meu Filho, hoje te gerei.
So Christ also did not claim for Himself the honour of being made High Priest, but was appointed to it by Him who said to Him, "My Son art Thou: I have to-day become Thy Father;"
6 Como também diz noutro lugar: Tu és Sacerdote eternamente, segundo a ordem de Melchisedec, (aiōn g165)
as also in another passage He says, "Thou art a priest for ever, belonging to the order of Melchizedek." (aiōn g165)
7 O qual, nos dias da sua carne, oferecendo, com grande clamor e lágrimas, orações e suplicas ao que o podia livrar da morte, foi ouvido quanto ao que temia.
For Jesus during his earthly life offered up prayers and entreaties, crying aloud and weeping as He pleaded with Him who was able to bring Him in safety out of death, and He was delivered from the terror from which He shrank.
8 Ainda que era Filho, todavia aprendeu a obediência, pelas coisas que padeceu.
Although He was God's Son, yet He learned obedience from the sufferings which He endured;
9 E, sendo ele consumado, veio a ser a causa de eterna salvação para todos os que lhe obedecem; (aiōnios g166)
and so, having been made perfect, He became to all who obey Him the source and giver of eternal salvation. (aiōnios g166)
10 Chamado por Deus sumo sacerdote, segundo a ordem de Melchisedec.
For God Himself addresses Him as a High Priest for ever, belonging to the order of Melchizedek.
11 Do qual muito temos que dizer, que é difícil de declarar; porquanto vos fizestes negligentes para ouvir.
Concerning Him we have much to say, and much that it would be difficult to make clear to you, since you have become so dull of apprehension.
12 Porque, devendo já ser mestres, visto o tempo, ainda necessitais de que se vos torne a ensinar quais sejam os primeiros rudimentos das palavras de Deus: e vos haveis feito tais que necessitais de leite, e não de sólido mantimento.
For although, considering the long time you have been believers, you ought now to be teachers of others, you really need some one to teach you over again the very rudiments of the truths of God, and you have come to require milk instead of solid food.
13 Porque qualquer que ainda se alimenta de leite não está experimentado na palavra da justiça, porque é menino.
By people who live on milk I mean those who are imperfectly acquainted with the teaching concerning righteousness.
14 Mas o mantimento sólido é para os perfeitos, os quais, já pelo costume, tem os sentidos exercitados para discernir tanto o bem como o mal.
Such persons are mere babes. But solid food is for adults--that is, for those who through constant practice have their spiritual faculties carefully trained to distinguish good from evil.
