希伯来书 5
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
基督不荣耀自己
5 凡从人间挑选的大祭司,是奉派替人办理属神的事,为要献上礼物和赎罪祭[a]。 2 他能体谅那愚蒙的和失迷的人,因为他自己也是被软弱所困。 3 故此,他理当为百姓和自己献祭赎罪。 4 这大祭司的尊荣没有人自取,唯要蒙神所召,像亚伦一样。 5 如此,基督也不是自取荣耀做大祭司,乃是在乎向他说“你是我的儿子,我今日生你”的那一位, 6 就如经上又有一处说:“你是照着麦基洗德的等次永远为祭司。”
因苦难学了顺从
7 基督在肉体的时候既大声哀哭,流泪祷告,恳求那能救他免死的主,就因他的虔诚蒙了应允。 8 他虽然为儿子,还是因所受的苦难学了顺从。 9 他既得以完全,就为凡顺从他的人成了永远得救的根源, 10 并蒙神照着麦基洗德的等次称他为大祭司。
11 论到麦基洗德,我们有好些话,并且难以解明,因为你们听不进去。 12 看你们学习的工夫,本该做师傅,谁知还得有人将神圣言小学的开端另教导你们,并且成了那必须吃奶、不能吃干粮的人! 13 凡只能吃奶的,都不熟练仁义的道理,因为他是婴孩。 14 唯独长大成人的才能吃干粮,他们的心窍习练得通达,就能分辨好歹了。

Hebrews 5
GOD’S WORD Translation
5 Every chief priest is chosen from humans to represent them in front of God, that is, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sin. 2 The chief priest can be gentle with people who are ignorant and easily deceived, because he also has weaknesses. 3 Because he has weaknesses, he has to offer sacrifices for his own sins in the same way that he does for the sins of his people.
4 No one takes this honor for himself. Instead, God calls him as he called Aaron. 5 So Christ did not take the glory of being a chief priest for himself. Instead, the glory was given to him by God, who said,
“You are my Son.
Today I have become your Father.”
6 In another place in Scripture, God said,
“You are a priest forever,
in the way Melchizedek was a priest.”
7 During his life on earth, Jesus prayed to God, who could save him from death. He prayed and pleaded with loud crying and tears, and he was heard because of his devotion to God. 8 Although Jesus was the Son ⌞of God⌟, he learned to be obedient through his sufferings. 9 After he had finished his work, he became the source of eternal salvation for everyone who obeys him. 10 God appointed him chief priest in the way Melchizedek was a priest.
You Need Someone to Teach You
11 We have a lot to explain about this. But since you have become too lazy to pay attention, explaining it to you is hard. 12 By now you should be teachers. Instead, you still need someone to teach you the elementary truths of God’s word. You need milk, not solid food. 13 All those who live on milk lack the experience to talk about what is right. They are still babies. 14 However, solid food is for mature people, whose minds are trained by practice to know the difference between good and evil.
Hebrews 5
International Children’s Bible
5 Every high priest is chosen from among men. He is given the work of going before God for them. He must offer gifts and sacrifices for sins. 2 He himself is weak. So he is able to be gentle with those who do not understand and who are doing wrong things. 3 Because he is weak the high priest must offer sacrifices for his own sins. And then he offers sacrifices for the sins of the people.
4 To be a high priest is an honor. But no one chooses himself for this work. He must be called by God as Aaron[a] was. 5 So also Christ did not choose himself to have the honor of being a high priest. But God chose him. God said to him,
“You are my Son;
today I have become your Father.” Psalm 2:7
6 And in another Scripture God says,
“You are a priest forever,
a priest like Melchizedek.”[b] Psalm 110:4
7 While Jesus lived on earth, he prayed to God and asked God for help. He prayed with loud cries and tears to the One who could save him from death. And his prayer was heard because he left it all up to God. 8 Even though Jesus was the Son of God, he learned to obey by what he suffered. 9 And he became our perfect high priest. He gives eternal salvation to all who obey him. 10 And God made Jesus high priest, a priest like Melchizedek.
Warning Against Falling Away
11 We have much to say about this. But it is hard to explain because you are so slow to understand. 12 You have had enough time so that by now you should be teachers. But you need someone to teach you again the first lessons of God’s message. You still need the teaching that is like milk. You are not ready for solid food. 13 Anyone who lives on milk is still a baby. He knows nothing about right teaching. 14 But solid food is for those who are grown up. They are mature enough to know the difference between good and evil.
