În adevăr, orice mare preot luat din mijlocul oamenilor este pus(A) pentru oameni în(B) lucrurile privitoare la Dumnezeu, ca(C) să aducă daruri şi jertfe pentru păcate. El(D) poate fi îngăduitor cu cei neştiutori şi rătăciţi, fiindcă şi(E) el este cuprins de slăbiciune. Şi, din pricina(F) acestei slăbiciuni, trebuie să aducă jertfe atât pentru păcatele lui, cât şi pentru ale norodului. Nimeni(G) nu-şi ia cinstea aceasta singur, ci o ia dacă este chemat de Dumnezeu, cum a fost Aaron(H). Tot aşa(I) şi Hristos, nu Şi-a luat singur slava de a fi Mare Preot, ci o are de la Cel ce I-a zis: „Tu eşti Fiul(J) Meu, astăzi Te-am născut”. Şi, cum zice iarăşi într-alt loc: „Tu(K) eşti preot în veac, după rânduiala lui Melhisedec”. El este Acela care, în zilele vieţii Sale pământeşti, aducând(L) rugăciuni şi cereri cu(M) strigăte mari şi cu lacrimi către Cel ce(N) putea să-L izbăvească de la(O) moarte şi fiind ascultat din pricina evlaviei Lui, măcar(P) că era Fiu, a învăţat să asculte(Q) prin lucrurile pe care le-a suferit. Şi, după ce a fost făcut desăvârşit(R), S-a făcut pentru toţi cei ce-L ascultă urzitorul unei mântuiri veşnice, 10 căci a fost numit de Dumnezeu: Mare Preot „după(S) rânduiala lui Melhisedec”. 11 Asupra celor de mai sus, avem multe(T) de zis şi lucruri grele de tâlcuit, fiindcă v-aţi făcut greoi(U) la pricepere. 12 În adevăr, voi, care de mult trebuia să fiţi învăţători, aveţi iarăşi trebuinţă de cineva să vă înveţe cele(V) dintâi adevăruri ale cuvintelor lui Dumnezeu şi aţi ajuns să aveţi nevoie de lapte(W), nu de hrană tare. 13 Şi oricine nu se hrăneşte decât cu lapte nu este obişnuit cu cuvântul despre neprihănire, căci este un prunc(X). 14 Dar hrana tare este pentru oamenii mari, pentru aceia a căror judecată s-a deprins, prin întrebuinţare, să deosebească(Y) binele şi răul.

Qualifications for High Priesthood

For every high priest taken from among men (A)is appointed for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins. He can [a]have compassion on those who are ignorant and going astray, since he himself is also subject to (B)weakness. Because of this he is required as for the people, so also for (C)himself, to offer sacrifices for sins. And no man takes this honor to himself, but he who is called by God, just as (D)Aaron was.

A Priest Forever

(E)So also Christ did not glorify Himself to become High Priest, but it was He who said to Him:

(F)“You are My Son,
Today I have begotten You.”

As He also says in another place:

(G)“You are a priest forever
According to the order of Melchizedek”;

who, in the days of His flesh, when He had (H)offered up prayers and supplications, (I)with vehement cries and tears to Him (J)who was able to save Him from death, and was heard (K)because of His godly fear, though He was a Son, yet He learned (L)obedience by the things which He suffered. And (M)having been perfected, He became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey Him, 10 called by God as High Priest (N)“according to the order of Melchizedek,” 11 of whom (O)we have much to say, and hard to explain, since you have become (P)dull of hearing.

Spiritual Immaturity

12 For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the first principles of the [b]oracles of God; and you have come to need (Q)milk and not solid food. 13 For everyone who partakes only of milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is (R)a babe. 14 But solid food belongs to those who are [c]of full age, that is, those who by reason of [d]use have their senses exercised (S)to discern both good and evil.

For every high priest chosen from among men (A)is appointed to act on behalf of men (B)in relation to God, (C)to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins. (D)He can deal gently with the ignorant and wayward, since he himself (E)is beset with weakness. Because of this he is obligated to offer sacrifice for his own sins (F)just as he does for those of the people. And (G)no one takes this honor for himself, but only when called by God, (H)just as Aaron was.

So also Christ (I)did not exalt himself to be made a high priest, but was appointed by him who said to him,

(J)“You are my Son,
    today I have begotten you”;

as he says also in another place,

(K)“You are a priest forever,
    after the order of Melchizedek.”

In the days of his flesh, (L)Jesus[a] offered up prayers and supplications, (M)with loud cries and tears, to him (N)who was able to save him from death, and (O)he was heard because of his reverence. Although (P)he was a son, (Q)he learned obedience through what he suffered. And (R)being made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey him, 10 being designated by God a high priest (S)after the order of Melchizedek.

Warning Against Apostasy

11 About this we have much to say, and it is (T)hard to explain, since you have become dull of hearing. 12 For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again (U)the basic principles of the oracles of God. You need (V)milk, not solid food, 13 for everyone who lives on milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, since he is (W)a child. 14 But solid food is for (X)the mature, for those who have their powers (Y)of discernment trained by constant practice to distinguish good from evil.
