Hebreus 5

1 Ko ia tohunga nui hoki e tangohia nei i roto i ngā tāngata, he mea whakatū rātou mō ngā mea a ngā tāngata ki te Atua, hei tāpae i ngā whakahere, i ngā patunga tapu mō ngā hara. 2 E taea e ia te āta hanga ki te hunga e kūware ana, e kotiti kē ana; nō te mea e muia ana anō ia e te ngoikore; 3 nā konei i tika ai, kia rite ki tāna mō te iwi tāna e tāpae ai mōna ake, hei whakahere mō ngā hara.

4 E kore anō hoki tētahi e tango i tēnei hōnore ki a ia anō, engari te tangata e karangatia ana e te Atua, e pērātia ana me Ārona. 5 Waihoki ko te Karaiti kāhore āna whakanui i a ia hei tohunga nui; nā tērā kē i kī rā ki a ia:

"Ko koe tāku Tama,

nō nāianei koe i whakatupuria ai e ahau."

6 Pērā hoki me tāna i kī ai i tētahi atu wāhi,

"Hei tohunga koe ake ake

i runga i te ritenga o Merekihereke."

7 I ngā rā o tōna kikokiko, i tukua e ia he īnoi, he karakia, i runga i te kārangaranga kaha, i te roimata, ki te Mea kaha ki te whakaora i a ia i te mate, ā, whakarangona ana mōna i wehi ki te Atua; 8 ahakoa he Tama ia, i whakaakona ia ki te ngohengohe e ōna mamae. 9 Ā, ka meinga nei ia kia tino rite, ka waiho ia hei take mō te ora tonu ki te hunga katoa e ngohengohe ana ki a ia; 10 he mea karanga nā te Atua hei tohunga nui i runga i te ritenga o Merekihereke.

He Whakatūpato ki Whakarērea te Whakapono

11 He maha nei ā mātou kōrero mō tēnei, he uaua ki te whakamārama, he pūhoi hoki nō koutou ki te whakarongo. 12 I te mea hoki ka tika kia waiho koutou hei kaiwhakaako nō te mea ka roa nei, nā, me tuarua te whakaako i a koutou ki ngā tīmatanga rawatanga o ngā kupu a te Atua; me waiū hoki he kai mā koutou, kauaka te kai pakeke. 13 Ko ngā tāngata katoa hoki e kai ana i te waiū, he kūware rātou ki te kupu o te tika, he kōhungahunga hoki. 14 Mā ngā pakeke e tika ai te kai mārō kua taungatia nei ō rātou hinengaro e ngā meatanga maha, e wehe ai i te pai, i te kino.

1 For every high priest, being taken from among men, is appointed for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins: 2 who can bear gently with the ignorant and erring, for that he himself also is compassed with infirmity; 3 and by reason thereof is bound, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins. 4 And no man taketh the honor unto himself, but when he is called of God, even as was Aaron. 5 So Christ also glorified not himself to be made a high priest, but he that spake unto him,

Thou art my Son,

This day have I begotten thee:

6 as he saith also in another place,

Thou art a priest for ever

After the order of Melchizedek.

7 Who in the days of his flesh, having offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and having been heard for his godly fear, 8 though he was a Son, yet learned obedience by the things which he suffered; 9 and having been made perfect, he became unto all them that obey him the author of eternal salvation; 10 named of God a high priest after the order of Melchizedek.

11 Of whom we have many things to say, and hard of interpretation, seeing ye are become dull of hearing. 12 For when by reason of the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need again that some one teach you the rudiments of the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of solid food. 13 For every one that partaketh of milk is without experience of the word of righteousness; for he is a babe. 14 But solid food is for fullgrown men, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern good and evil.
