Hebrews 5

1For every high priest taken from among men is appointed for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins.

πας γαρ αρχιερευς εξ ανθρωπων λαμβανομενος υπερ ανθρωπων καθισταται τα προς τον θεον, ινα προσφερη δωρα τε και θυσιας υπερ αμαρτιων,

2He can have compassion on those who are ignorant and going astray, since he himself is also subject to weakness.

μετριοπαθειν δυναμενος τοις αγνοουσιν και πλανωμενοις, επει και αυτος περικειται ασθενειαν·

3Because of this he is required as for the people, so also for himself, to offer sacrifices for sins.

και δια ταυτην οφειλει, καθως περι του λαου, ουτως και περι εαυτου προσφερειν υπερ αμαρτιων.

4And no man takes this honor to himself, but he who is called by God, just as Aaron was.

και ουχ εαυτω τις λαμβανει την τιμην, αλλα καλουμενος υπο του θεου, καθαπερ και ααρων.

5So also Christ did not glorify Himself to become High Priest, but it was He who said to Him:

ουτως και ο χριστος ουχ εαυτον εδοξασεν γενηθηναι αρχιερεα, αλλ ο λαλησας προς αυτον· υιος μου ει συ, εγω σημερον γεγεννηκα σε·

6As He also says in another place: 'You are a priest forever According to the order of Melchizedek';

καθως και εν ετερω λεγει· συ ιερευς εις τον αιωνα κατα την ταξιν μελχισεδεκ.

7who, in the days of His flesh, when He had offered up prayers and supplications, with vehement cries and tears to Him who was able to save Him from death, and was heard because of His godly fear,

ος εν ταις ημεραις της σαρκος αυτου δεησεις τε και ικετηριας προς τον δυναμενον σωζειν αυτον εκ θανατου μετα κραυγης ισχυρας και δακρυων προσενεγκας, και εισακουσθεις απο της ευλαβειας,

8though He was a Son, yet He learned obedience by the things which He suffered.

καιπερ ων υιος, εμαθεν αφ ων επαθεν την υπακοην,

9And having been perfected, He became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey Him,

και τελειωθεις εγενετο τοις υπακουουσιν αυτω πασιν αιτιος σωτηριας αιωνιου,

10called by God as High Priest 'according to the order of Melchizedek,'

προσαγορευθεις υπο του θεου αρχιερευς κατα την ταξιν μελχισεδεκ.

11of whom we have much to say, and hard to explain, since you have become dull of hearing.

περι ου πολυς ημιν ο λογος και δυσερμηνευτος λεγειν, επει νωθροι γεγονατε ταις ακοαις.

12For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the first principles of the oracles of God; and you have come to need milk and not solid food.

και γαρ οφειλοντες ειναι διδασκαλοι δια τον χρονον, παλιν χρειαν εχετε του διδασκειν υμας τινα τα στοιχεια της αρχης των λογιων του θεου, και γεγονατε χρειαν εχοντες γαλακτος και ου στερεας τροφης.

13For everyone who partakes only of milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is a babe.

πας γαρ ο μετεχων γαλακτος απειρος λογου δικαιοσυνης· νηπιος γαρ εστιν·

14But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

τελειων δε εστιν η στερεα τροφη, των δια την εξιν τα αισθητηρια γεγυμνασμενα εχοντων προς διακρισιν καλου τε και κακου.
