New International Version
Hebrews 5
New International Version
5 Every high priest is selected from among the people and is appointed to represent the people in matters related to God,(A) to offer gifts and sacrifices(B) for sins.(C) 2 He is able to deal gently with those who are ignorant and are going astray,(D) since he himself is subject to weakness.(E) 3 This is why he has to offer sacrifices for his own sins, as well as for the sins of the people.(F) 4 And no one takes this honor on himself, but he receives it when called by God, just as Aaron was.(G)
5 In the same way, Christ did not take on himself the glory(H) of becoming a high priest.(I) But God said(J) to him,
6 And he says in another place,
7 During the days of Jesus’ life on earth, he offered up prayers and petitions(N) with fervent cries and tears(O) to the one who could save him from death, and he was heard(P) because of his reverent submission.(Q) 8 Son(R) though he was, he learned obedience from what he suffered(S) 9 and, once made perfect,(T) he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him 10 and was designated by God to be high priest(U) in the order of Melchizedek.(V)
Warning Against Falling Away(W)
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. 12 In fact, though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the elementary truths(X) of God’s word all over again. You need milk, not solid food!(Y) 13 Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant,(Z) is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness. 14 But solid food is for the mature,(AA) who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil.(AB)

5 ¶ Se pami moun yo toujou chwazi yon granprèt, lèfini yo mete l' apa pou l' ka fè sèvis Bondye pou yo. Se li menm tou ki pou ofri kado ak bèt pou touye pou peche yo bay Bondye.
2 Li toujou gen anpil pasyans ak moun ki pa konnen, ak moun k'ap fè sa yo pa t' dwe fè, paske li menm poutèt pa l', li fèb tou sou anpil pwen.
3 Se sak fè, se pa sèlman pou peche pèp la li gen pou l' ofri bèt pou yo touye bay Bondye, men se pou peche pa l' yo tou, paske li menm tou li fèb.
4 Pesonn pa ka bay tèt li grad granprèt la. Se Bondye sèlman ki ka rele yon moun nan plas sa a, jan sa te fèt pou Arawon.
5 Se konsa, Kris la pa t' chwazi tèt li pou l' te resevwa grad granprèt la. Okontrè, li resevwa l' nan men Bondye ki te di li: Ou se pitit mwen, depi jòdi a se mwen ki papa ou.
6 Li di yon lòt kote ankò: Ou prèt pou tout tan menm jan ak Mèlkisedèk.
7 Pandan Jezi t'ap viv sou latè, li te lapriyè Bondye, li te fè demann li avèk gwo rèl ak dlo nan je bay Bondye, sèl moun ki te kapab sove l' anba lanmò. Bondye koute l', paske li te soumèt devan Bondye.
8 Atout li te pitit Bondye, li vin konnen sa ki rele yon moun obeyisan, avèk tout soufrans li soufri yo.
9 Lè li fin bon nèt, li tounen yon delivrans pou tout moun ki obeyi l', yon delivrans k'ap delivre yo pou tout tan,
10 ¶ paske lè sa a, Bondye deklare se yon granprèt menm jan ak Mèlkisedèk li ye.
11 Mwen gen anpil bagay pou m' ta di nou sou sa ankò. Men, se bagay ki difisil anpil pou esplike nou, paske nou lou toujou nan konprann nou.
12 Depi tout tan sa a, se pou n' te fò deja tankou moun k'ap moutre nou yo. Men, okontrè, se bezwen nou bezwen toujou pou moun montre nou bagay ki pi fasil yo, premye konesans nan pawòl Bondye a. Se ti lèt nou bezwen bwè toujou, nou poko ka manje gwo manje.
13 Se timoun ki nan bwè lèt, paske timoun pa gen kont esperyans pou konnen sa ki bon ak sa ki pa bon.
14 Okontrè, se granmoun ki manje gwo manje, paske granmoun yo konn jije, yo konn fè diferans ant sa ki bon ak sa ki mal.
Hebrews 5
King James Version
Hebrews 5
King James Version
5 For every high priest taken from among men is ordained for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins:
2 Who can have compassion on the ignorant, and on them that are out of the way; for that he himself also is compassed with infirmity.
3 And by reason hereof he ought, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins.
4 And no man taketh this honour unto himself, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron.
5 So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee.
6 As he saith also in another place, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.
7 Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared;
8 Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered;
9 And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;
10 Called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec.
11 Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing.
12 For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.
13 For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.
14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

Hebrews 5
English Standard Version
5 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. 2 (D)He can deal gently with the ignorant and wayward, since he himself (E)is beset with weakness. 3 Because of this he is obligated to offer sacrifice for his own sins (F)just as he does for those of the people. 4 And (G)no one takes this honor for himself, but only when called by God, (H)just as Aaron was.
5 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”;
6 as he says also in another place,
(K)“You are a priest forever,
after the order of Melchizedek.”
7 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. 8 Although (P)he was a son, (Q)he learned obedience through what he suffered. 9 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.
