VaHebheru 5
1 Muprista mukuru mumwe nomumwe anosarudzwa kubva pakati pavanhu uye anogadzwa kuti avamiririre pazvinhu zvaMwari, kuti ape zvipo nezvibayiro pamusoro pezvivi.
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 Anogona kunzwira tsitsi vaya vasingazivi uye navaya vari kutsauka, sezvo iye pachake ari pasi poutera.
being able to have compassion on the ignorant and erring, because he himself is beset with infirmity:
3 Ndokusaka achifanira kupa zvibayiro zvezvivi zvake, pamwe chete nezvezvivi zvavanhu.
and on account of this, he ought, as for the people, so also for himself, to make offering for sins.
4 Hapana munhu anozvipa kukudzwa uku; anofanira kudanwa naMwari, sezvakaitwa Aroni.
And no one takes this honor to himself, but he that is called by God, as Aaron also was called.
5 Saizvozvowo Kristu haana kuzvitorera iye kubwinya kwokuva muprista mukuru. Asi Mwari akati kwaari, “Ndiwe Mwanakomana wangu; nhasi ndava baba vako.”
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 Uye akati, pane imwe nzvimbo, “Ndiwe muprista nokusingaperi, worudzi rwaMerikizedheki.” (aiōn g165)
as he says also in another place, Thou art a priest forever, after the order of Melchisedec. (aiōn g165)
7 Pamazuva oupenyu hwaJesu panyika, akauya kuna iye akanga achigona kumurwira parufu neminyengetero nemikumbiro, achichema nokuchema kukuru nemisodzi, uye akanzwika nokuda kwokutya kwake Mwari.
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 Kunyange zvake akanga ari mwanakomana, akadzidza kuteerera kubva pakutambudzika kwake
although he was a Son, he yet learned obedience from the things which he suffered;
9 uye akati akwaniswa, akazova muvambi wokuponeswa kusingaperi kuna vose vanomuteerera (aiōnios g166)
and, having been made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation to all that obey him, (aiōnios g166)
10 uye akanzi naMwari ave muprista mukuru worudzi rwaMerikizedheki.
being called by God a high priest after the order of Melchisedec.
11 Tine zvizhinji zvokutaura pamusoro peizvi, asi zvinorema kuzvitsanangura kwamuri nokuti munononoka kunzwisisa.
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 Nokuti, kunyange maifanira kuva vadzidzisi pari zvino munotoda mumwe munhu kuti akudzidzisei zvakare zvokwadi yezvokuvamba zveshoko raMwari. Muchiri kuda mukaka, kwete zvokudya zvikukutu.
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 Mumwe nomumwe anoraramiswa nomukaka, achiri mucheche, haasati anzwisisa dzidziso pamusoro pokururama.
For every one that partakes of milk is unskillful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.
14 Asi zvokudya zvikukutu ndezvavakuru, avo vakazvidzidzisa nokuramba vachizviita, kutsaura zvakanaka kubva kune zvakaipa.
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.
