Hebreos 5
1 Todo sumo sacerdote es elegido dentro del mismo pueblo y está designado para trabajar por el pueblo en cuanto a su relación con Dios. Él presenta a Dios tanto sus dones como sus sacrificios por sus pecados.
Every [Jewish] Supreme Priest was chosen by [God] {[God] chose every [Jewish] Supreme Priest} from among [ordinary] men. They were appointed {[He] appointed them} in order that they would come before him on behalf of the people. [Specifically, God appointed them] in order that they would bring gifts [to him on behalf of the people], and in order to sacrifice [animals to him] for people who sinned.
2 El sumo sacerdote comprende cuán ignorantes y engañadas se sienten las personas porque él también experimenta las mismas debilidades humanas que ellos.
The Supreme Priests could deal gently with those who ignorantly sinned, since the Supreme Priests themselves tended to sin easily.
3 En consecuencia, él tiene que ofrecer sacrificios por sus pecados así como por los del pueblo.
As a result, they had to offer something to God for their own sins, just like [they had to offer something to God] for [other] people who sinned.
4 Nadie puede tomar la posición de sumo sacerdote por sí mismo, sino que debe ser elegido por Dios, como lo fue Aarón.
Furthermore, [it is an honor to be a Supreme Priest] so no one honors himself [by appointing himself to become a Supreme Priest]. Instead, God chose each man [to become a Supreme Priest], as he chose Aaron [to be the first Supreme Priest].
5 Del mismo modo en que Cristo no se atribuyó honra a sí mismo convirtiéndose en sumo sacerdote. Sino que fue Dios quien le dijo: “Tú eres mi hijo. Hoy yo me convierto en tu Padre”.
Similarly, Christ also did not honor himself by appointing himself to become a Supreme Priest. Instead, God [appointed him by] saying to [him what he never said to any other priest, what the] Psalmist wrote in the Scriptures, You [(sg)] are my Son! Today I have declared that I am your Father!
6 Y en otro versículo, Dios dice: “Eres un sacerdote por siempre, siguiendo el orden de Melquisedec”. (aiōn g165)
And he also said [to Christ what the Psalmist wrote] in another Scripture passage, You are a priest eternally just like Melchizedek was a priest. (aiōn g165)
7 Jesús, mientras estuvo aquí, en forma humana, oró y clamó a Dios con grandes gemidos y lágrimas, al único que tenía el poder de salvarlo de la muerte. Y Jesús fue escuchado por su respeto hacia Dios.
When Christ lived on the earth [MTY], he prayed [DOU] to God and tearfully cried out loudly to him. [Specifically], he asked [God], who was able to help him, that he would not [fear the sufferings just before] he died. As a result, God listened to him, because Christ reverently submitted [to what God wanted him to do].
8 Aunque era el Hijo de Dios, Jesús aprendió de manera práctica el significado de la obediencia a través del sufrimiento.
Although Christ is [God’s own Son], he learned to obey [God] by suffering [before he died].
9 Y cuando su experiencia culminó, se convirtió en la fuente de salvación eterna para todos los que hacen su voluntad, (aiōnios g166)
By becoming (all [that] God intended him to be/perfect), [he has now] become fully qualified [to be our Supreme Priest. As a result, he is the one who saves] eternally all who obey him. (aiōnios g166)
10 habiendo sido designado por Dios como sumo sacerdote, conforme al orden de Melquisedec.
Furthermore, God has designated him to be [our] Supreme Priest in the way that Melchizedek was a Supreme Priest.
11 Hay mucho que decir acerca de Jesús, y no es fácil explicarlo porque ustedes parecen no entender.
Although there is much to say [to you(pl)] about [how Christ resembles Melchizedek], this is hard [for me] to explain [to you] because you now understand things so slowly.
12 Para esta hora, ustedes ya han tenido suficiente tiempo para ser maestros, pero todavía necesitan de alguien que les enseñe los fundamentos, los principios de la palabra de Dios. ¡Es como si necesitaran volver a beber leche en lugar de comida sólida!
[You became Christians long ago. So] by now you should be teaching [spiritual truths to others]. But you still need someone to teach you again the truths that God has revealed. [I am talking about] the truths that we teach people [when they] first [believe in Christ]. You need [those elementary truths] like babies need milk [MET]. You are not [ready for advanced teaching, which is like] the solid food [which mature people need] [MET].
13 Los que beben leche no tienen la experiencia para vivir de manera correcta, pues apenas son bebés.
Remember that those [who are still learning these elementary truths] [MET] have not become familiar with [what God] says concerning becoming/being righteous. They are [just like] [MET] babies [who need] milk!
14 La comida sólida es para los adultos, para los que han aprendido siempre a usar su cerebro para poder decir la diferencia entre el bien y el mal.
But [the more advanced spiritual truth] is for people who are [spiritually] mature, just like [MET] solid food is for [people who are physically] mature. They can tell the difference between what is good and what is evil, because they have trained themselves [to keep doing that].
