| Giovanni Diodati 1649 (Italian) (GDB) | New International Version (NIV) |
| 1 Perciocchè ogni sommo sacerdote, assunto d’infra gli uomini, è costituito per gli uomini, nelle cose appartenenti a Dio, acciocchè offerisca offerte e sacrificii per li peccati; | 1 Every high priest is selected from among men and is appointed to represent them in matters related to God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins. |
| 2 potendo aver convenevol compassione degli ignoranti, ed erranti; poichè egli stesso ancora è circondato d’infermità. | 2 He is able to deal gently with those who are ignorant and are going astray, since he himself is subject to weakness. |
| 3 E per esse infermità è obbligato d’offerir sacrificii per li peccati, così per sè stesso, come per lo popolo. | 3 This is why he has to offer sacrifices for his own sins, as well as for the sins of the people. |
