The Latin Vulgate VUL
New King James Version NKJV
1 omnis namque pontifex ex hominibus adsumptus pro hominibus constituitur in his quae sunt ad Deum ut offerat dona et sacrificia pro peccatis
1
For 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.
2 qui condolere possit his qui ignorant et errant quoniam et ipse circumdatus est infirmitate
2
He can have compassion on those who are ignorant and going astray, since he himself is also subject to weakness.
3 et propter eam debet quemadmodum et pro populo ita etiam pro semet ipso offerre pro peccatis
3
Because of this he is required as for the people, so also for himself, to offer sacrifices for sins.
4 nec quisquam sumit sibi honorem sed qui vocatur a Deo tamquam Aaron
4
And no man takes this honor to himself, but he who is called by God, just as Aaron was.
5 sic et Christus non semet ipsum clarificavit ut pontifex fieret sed qui locutus est ad eum Filius meus es tu ego hodie genui te
5
So also Christ did not glorify Himself to become High Priest, but it was He who said to Him: "You are My Son, Today I have begotten You."
6 quemadmodum et in alio dicit tu es sacerdos in aeternum secundum ordinem Melchisedech
6
As He also says in another place: "You are a priest forever According to the order of Melchizedek";
7 qui in diebus carnis suae preces supplicationesque ad eum qui possit salvum illum a morte facere cum clamore valido et lacrimis offerens et exauditus pro sua reverentia
7
who, 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,
8 et quidem cum esset Filius didicit ex his quae passus est oboedientiam
8
though He was a Son, yet He learned obedience by the things which He suffered.
9 et consummatus factus est omnibus obtemperantibus sibi causa salutis aeternae
9
And having been perfected, He became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey Him,
10 appellatus a Deo pontifex iuxta ordinem Melchisedech
10
called by God as High Priest "according to the order of Melchizedek,"
11 de quo grandis nobis sermo et ininterpretabilis ad dicendum quoniam inbecilles facti estis ad audiendum
11
of whom we have much to say, and hard to explain, since you have become dull of hearing.
12 etenim cum deberetis magistri esse propter tempus rursum indigetis ut vos doceamini quae sint elementa exordii sermonum Dei et facti estis quibus lacte opus sit non solido cibo
12
For 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.
13 omnis enim qui lactis est particeps expers est sermonis iustitiae parvulus enim est
13
For everyone who partakes only of milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is a babe.
14 perfectorum autem est solidus cibus eorum qui pro consuetudine exercitatos habent sensus ad discretionem boni ac mali
14
But 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.
