Hebrifoɔ 5
1 Wɔyi Ɔsɔfopanin biara firi nnipa bi mu na wasi wɔn ananmu de wɔn akyɛdeɛ ne wɔn bɔne ho afɔdeɛ asom Onyankopɔn.
For every high priest, being received from men, presides over men in the things appertaining to God, in order that he may offer gifts and sacrifices for sins:
2 Esiane sɛ nʼankasa yɛ mmerɛ akwan ahodoɔ pii so no enti, ɔtumi to ne bo ase ma wɔn a wɔnnim na wɔyɛ mfomsoɔ no.
being able to sympathize with the ignorant and erring, since himself is also compassed about with infirmity;
3 Ne mmerɛyɛ enti, sɛ ɔrebɔ bɔne ho afɔdeɛ a, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔbɔ ma ne ho ne afoforɔ nso.
and on this account he has need, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer sacrifices for sins.
4 Obiara ntumi nyi ne ho mfa nhyɛ ne ho animuonyam sɛ ɔyɛ Ɔsɔfopanin. Onyankopɔn frɛ nko na onipa nam so bɛyɛ Ɔsɔfopanin sɛdeɛ wɔfrɛɛ Aaron no.
And no one takes this honor to himself, but the one called of God, as indeed Aaron was.
5 Saa ara nso na Kristo annye anto ne ho so sɛ ɔyɛ Ɔsɔfopanin amfa anhyɛ ne ho animuonyam. Na mmom, Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Woyɛ me Ba: ɛnnɛ, mayɛ wʼAgya.”
Likewise Christ also did not glorify himself to become a high priest, but the one having spoken to him, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee:
6 Ɔsane kaa wɔ baabi foforɔ sɛ, “Wobɛyɛ ɔsɔfoɔ akɔsi daa sɛdeɛ Melkisedek asɔfokwan nhyehyɛeɛ te no.” (aiōn g165)
as also he says in another place, Thou art a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek. (aiōn g165)
7 Yesu baa ɔhonam mu wɔ asase so no, ɔbɔɔ mpaeɛ nam nkotosrɛ so de nʼabisadeɛ too Onyankopɔn a ɔbɛtumi agye no afiri owuo mu no anim. Esiane sɛ ɔdwo na ɔde ne ho nyinaa som no no enti, Onyankopɔn tiee no.
Who in the days of his flesh, having with strong crying and tears offered up both prayers and supplications unto him who is able to save him from death, and having been heard on account of his piety,
8 Ɛwom sɛ na ɔyɛ Onyankopɔn Ba deɛ, nanso ɔnam nʼamanehunu so suaa ahobrɛaseɛ.
indeed being a Son, he learned obedience from those things which he suffered;
and having been made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation to all those who obey him; (aiōnios g166)
10 na Onyankopɔn ada no adi sɛ ɔyɛ Ɔsɔfopanin sɛdeɛ Melkisedek asɔfokwan nhyehyɛeɛ te no.
having been ordained of God a high priest after the order of Melchizedek.
11 Yɛwɔ yei ho nsɛm pii ka, nanso emu kyerɛkyerɛ yɛ den, ɛfiri sɛ, mo nteaseɛ yɛ den.
Concerning whom there is much word to us, and difficult to speak, since you are dull of hearing.
12 Moayɛ nkyerɛkyerɛ adwuma no akyɛre, nanso ɛsɛ sɛ monya obi ma ɔkyerɛkyerɛ mo Onyankopɔn ho asɛm firi ne ahyɛaseɛ. Anka ɛsɛ sɛ saa ɛberɛ yi modi aduane a ɛyɛ den, nanso nufosuo na ɛyɛ ma mo.
For indeed you, who ought to be teachers so far as time is concerned, have need that some one again teach you what are the rudiments of the beginning of the oracles of God; and you have need of milk, not solid food.
13 Obiara a nufosuo yɛ ma no da so yɛ abadomaa a ɔnnim deɛ ɛyɛ ne deɛ ɛnyɛ.
For every one partaking of milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness; for he is a babe;
14 Aduane a ɛyɛ den yɛ ma mpanimfoɔ a wɔatete wɔn na wɔahunu nsonsonoeɛ a ɛda papa ne bɔne ntam.
but solid food belongs to the perfect, those having their senses disciplined by use unto the discernment both of the good and the evil.
