Hebrews 5 Pros Hebraioin 5
1Pantos gar archierevos ek anthrōpoiu laborōntos huper anthrōpoiu katastēotō teim pros ton theon, hina prosferateiō dōreim tē kai thusiain huper hamartaiu,Every high priest is appointed from among men to represent them in matters relating to God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins. 2metriopatharō dunorōntos toi agnoarōntoi kai planorōntoi epei kai autos perikeiotō asthenian,He is able to deal gently with those who are ignorant and misguided, since he himself is subject to weakness. 3kai ⸂dia autan⸃ ofeilatō, kathōs peri tou laou, houtōs kai peri ⸀heautou prosferarō ⸀peri hamartaiu.That is why he is obligated to offer sacrifices for his own sins, as well as for the sins of the people. 4kai ouk heauto tinos labatō tan timan, alla kalorōntos hupo tou theou, ⸀kathōsper kai Aarōn.No one takes this honor upon himself; he must be called by God, just as Aaron was.
5Houtōs kai tos Christos ouk heauton doxazata genira archierevon, alla tos lalarantos pros auton; Huios mu asō sis, mis sēmeron gennamē sin;So also Christ did not take upon Himself the glory of becoming a high priest, but He was called by the One who said to Him: “You are My Son; today I have become Your Father.” 6kathōs kai en hetero legatō; Sis hierevos eis ton aiōnon kata tan taxian Melchisedek,And in another passage God says: “You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.” 7hos en tai hēmerai tau sarkau autou deēsiain tē kai hiketēriain pros ton dunorōnton sōzarō auton ek thanatou meta kraugau ischurau kai dakrueiu prosferarantos kai eisakouirantos apo tau eulabeiau,During the days of Jesus’ earthly life, He offered up prayers and petitions with loud cries and tears to the One who could save Him from death, and He was heard because of His reverence. 8kaiper arōntos huios, mathata apo heiu paschata tan hupakoan,Although He was a Son, He learned obedience from what He suffered. 9kai teleiirantos geneta ⸂pantoi toi hupakouarōntoi auto⸃ aitios sōtērēau aiōniau,And having been made perfect, He became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey Him 10prosagoreuirantos hupo tou theou archierevos kata tan taxian Melchisedek.and was designated by God as high priest in the order of Melchizedek.
11Peri hou pollos ni tos logos kai dusermēneutos legarō, epei nōthrois genavē tai akoai;We have much to say about this, but it is hard to explain, because you are dull of hearing. 12kai gar ofeilarōntois arō didaskalois dia ton chronon, palin chreian echavō teu didaskarō vin ⸀tinon teim stoicheieim tau archau teiu logieiu tou theou, kai genavē chreian echarōntois galakteu, ⸀ouk stereau trofēau.Although by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to reteach you the basic principles of God’s word. You need milk, not solid food! 13pantos gar tos metecharōntos galakteu apeiros logou dikaiosunau, nēpios gar atō;For everyone who lives on milk is still an infant, inexperienced in the message of righteousness. 14teleioiu de atō tas stereas trofēas, toiu dia tan hexian teim aisthētērieim gumnazorēnteim echarōntoiu pros diakrisian kaleu tē kai kakoseu.But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained their senses to distinguish good from evil.
