Wahebrania 5
1 Kwani kila kuhani mkuu, aliyechaguliwa kutoka miongoni mwa watu, amechaguliwa kusimama badala yao katika vitu vinavyohusiana na Mungu, ili aweze kutoa kwa pamoja zawadi na dhabihu kwa ajili ya dhambi.
FOR every high priest taken from among men is ordained for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins:
2 Anaweza kujishughulisha kwa upole na wajinga na wabishi kwa kuwa yeye mwenyewe pia amezungukwa na udhaifu.
Who can have compassion on the ignorant, and on them that are out of the way; for that he himself also is compassed with infirmity.
3 Kwa sababu ya hili, ana wajibu wa kutoa sadaka kwa ajili ya dhambi zake kama afanyavyo kwa dhambi za watu.
And by reason hereof he ought, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins.
4 Na hakuna mtu achukuaye heshima hii kwa ajili yake mwenyewe, lakini badala yake, lazima aitwe na Mungu, kama alivyokuwa Haruni.
And no man taketh this honour unto himself, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron.
5 Hata Kristo hakujipa heshimu mwenyewe kwa kujifanya mwenyewe kuwa kuhani mkuu. Badala yake, Mungu alisema kwake, “Wewe ni mwanangu, leo nimekuwa Baba yako.”
So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee.
6 Ni kama asemavyo pia sehemu nyingine, “Wewe ni kuhani milele baada ya mfumo wa Melkizedeki.” (aiōn g165)
As he saith also in another place, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec. (aiōn g165)
7 Wakati wa kipindi chake katika mwili, aliomba na kuombea, alimwomba Mungu kwa machozi, kwa yeye awezaye kumwokoa kutoka kwenye kifo. Kwa sababu ya unyenyekevu wake kwa Mungu, alisikiwa.
Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared;
8 Ijapokuwa alikua mwana, alijifunza kutii kwa mambo yaliyomtesa.
Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered;
9 Alikamilishwa na kwa njia hii alifanyika kwa kila mtu amwaminiye kuwa sababu ya wokovu wa milele, (aiōnios g166)
And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him; (aiōnios g166)
10 kwa kutengwa na Mungu kama kuhani Mkuu baada ya zamu ya Melkizedeki.
Called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec.
11 Tuna mengi ya kusema kuhusu Yesu, lakini ni vigumu kuwaelezea kwa kuwa ninyi ni wavivu wa kusikia.
Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing.
12 Ijapokuwa kwa kipindi hiki mlipaswa kuwa walimu, bado kuna umuhimu wa mtu kuwafundisha mafundisho ya awali ya kanuni za neno la Mungu. Mnahitaji maziwa na si chakula kigumu.
For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.
13 Kwa kuwa yeyote anywaye maziwa tu hana uzoefu katika ujumbe wa haki, kwa kuwa bado ni mtoto.
For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.
14 Kwa upande mwingine, chakula kigumu ni cha watu wazima, wale ambao kwa sababu ya uzoefu wao katika kutofautisha haki na ubaya wamefundishwa kutambua jema na ovu.
But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
