New International Version NIV
Young's Literal Translation YLT
1 Every high priest is selected from among the people and is appointed to represent the people in matters related to God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins.
1
For every chief priest -- out of men taken -- in behalf of men is set in things [pertaining] to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins,
2 He is able to deal gently with those who are ignorant and are going astray, since he himself is subject to weakness.
2
able to be gentle to those ignorant and going astray, since himself also is compassed with infirmity;
3 This is why he has to offer sacrifices for his own sins, as well as for the sins of the people.
3
and because of this infirmity he ought, as for the people, so also for himself to offer for sins;
4 And no one takes this honor on himself, but he receives it when called by God, just as Aaron was.
4
and no one to himself doth take the honour, but he who is called by God, as also Aaron:
5 In the same way, Christ did not take on himself the glory of becoming a high priest. But God said to him, “You are my Son; today I have become your Father.”
5
so 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;'
6 And he says in another place, “You are a priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek.”
6
as also in another [place] He saith, `Thou [art] a priest -- to the age, according to the order of Melchisedek;'
7 During the days of Jesus’ life on earth, he offered up prayers and petitions with fervent cries and tears to the one who could save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverent submission.
7
who 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,
8 Son though he was, he learned obedience from what he suffered
8
through being a Son, did learn by the things which he suffered -- the obedience,
9 and, once made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him
9
and having been made perfect, he did become to all those obeying him a cause of salvation age-during,
10 and was designated by God to be high priest in the order of Melchizedek.
10
having been addressed by God a chief priest, according to the order of Melchisedek,
11 We have much to say about this, but it is hard to make it clear to you because you no longer try to understand.
11
concerning whom we have much discourse and of hard explanation to say, since ye have become dull of hearing,
12 In fact, though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the elementary truths of God’s word all over again. You need milk, not solid food!
12
for even owing to be teachers, because of the time, again ye have need that one teach you what [are] the elements of the beginning of the oracles of God, and ye have become having need of milk, and not of strong food,
13 Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant, is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness.
13
for every one who is partaking of milk [is] unskilled in the word of righteousness -- for he is an infant,
14 But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil.
14
and 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.
