Hebrews 5

1For every high priest taken from among men is ordained for men in the things that appertain to God, that he may offer up gifts and sacrifices for sins:

1For every chief priest--out of men taken--in behalf of men is set in things <FI>pertaining<Fi> to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins,

2Who can have compassion on them that are ignorant and that err: because he himself also is compassed with infirmity.

2able to be gentle to those ignorant and going astray, since himself also is compassed with infirmity;

3And therefore he ought, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins.

3and because of this infirmity he ought, as for the people, so also for himself to offer for sins;

4Neither doth any man take the honour to himself, but he that is called by God, as Aaron was.

4and no one to himself doth take the honour, but he who is called by God, as also Aaron:

5So Christ also did not glorify himself, that he might be made a high priest: but he that said unto him: Thou art my Son: this day have I begotten thee.

5so also the Christ did not glorify himself to become chief priest, but He who spake unto him: `My Son thou art, I to-day have begotten thee;'

6As he saith also in another place: Thou art a priest for ever, according to the order of Melchisedech.

6as also in another <FI>place<Fi> He saith, `Thou <FI>art<Fi> a priest--to the age, according to the order of Melchisedek;'

7Who in the days of his flesh, with a strong cry and tears, offering up prayers and supplications to him that was able to save him from death, was heard for his reverence.

7who in the days of his flesh both prayers and supplications unto Him who was able to save him from death--with strong crying and tears--having offered up, and having been heard in respect to that which he feared,

8And whereas indeed he was the Son of God, he learned obedience by the things which he suffered.

8through being a Son, did learn by the things which he suffered--the obedience,

9And being consummated, he became, to all that obey him, the cause of eternal salvation:

9and having been made perfect, he did become to all those obeying him a cause of salvation age-during,

10Called by God a high priest, according to the order of Melchisedech.

10having been addressed by God a chief priest, according to the order of Melchisedek,

11Of whom we have much to say and hard to be intelligibly uttered: because you are become weak to hear.

11concerning whom we have much discourse and of hard explanation to say, since ye have become dull of hearing,

12For whereas for the time you ought to be masters, you have need to be taught again what are the first elements of the words of God: and you are become such as have need of milk and not of strong meat.

12for even owing to be teachers, because of the time, again ye have need that one teach you what <FI>are<Fi> the elements of the beginning of the oracles of God, and ye have become having need of milk, and not of strong food,

13For every one that is a partaker of milk is unskilful in the word of justice: for he is a little child.

13for every one who is partaking of milk <FI>is<Fi> unskilled in the word of righteousness--for he is an infant,

14But strong meat is for the perfect: for them who by custom have their senses exercised to the discerning of good and evil.

14and of perfect men is the strong food, who because of the use are having the senses exercised, unto the discernment both of good and of evil.
