5:1

Πας γαρ αρχιερευς εξ ανθρωπων λαμβανομενος υπερ ανθρωπων καθισταται τα προς τον Θεον ινα προσφερη δωρα τε και θυσιας υπερ αμαρτιων

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:

5:2

μετριοπαθειν δυναμενος τοις αγνοουσιν και πλανωμενοις επει και αυτος περικειται ασθενειαν

who can bear gently with the ignorant and erring, for that he himself also is compassed with infirmity;

5:3

και δι αυτην οφειλει καθως περι του λαου ουτως και περι αυτου προσφερειν περι αμαρτιων

and by reason thereof is bound, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins.

5:4

Και ουχ εαυτω τις λαμβανει την τιμην αλλα καλουμενος υπο του Θεου καθωσπερ και Ααρων

And no man taketh the honor unto himself, but when he is called of God, even as was Aaron.

5:5

Ουτως και ο Χριστος ουχ εαυτον εδοξασεν γενηθηναι αρχιερεα αλλ ο λαλησας προς αυτον Υιος μου ει συ εγω σημερον γεγεννηκα σε

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:

5:6

Καθως και εν ετερω λεγει Συ ιερευς εις τον αιωνα κατα την ταξιν Μελχισεδεκ

as he saith also in another place, Thou art a priest for ever After the order of Melchizedek.

5:7

Ος εν ταις ημεραις της σαρκος αυτου δεησεις τε και ικετηριας προς τον δυναμενον σωζειν αυτον εκ θανατου μετα κραυγης ισχυρας και δακρυων προσενεγκας και εισακουσθεις απο της ευλαβειας

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,

5:8

καιπερ ων Υιος εμαθεν αφ ων επαθεν την υπακοην

though he was a Son, yet learned obedience by the things which he suffered;

5:9

και τελειωθεις εγενετο πασιν τοις υπακουουσιν αυτω αιτιος σωτηριας αιωνιου

and having been made perfect, he became unto all them that obey him the author of eternal salvation;

5:10

προσαγορευθεις υπο του Θεου αρχιερευς κατα την ταξιν Μελχισεδεκ

named of God a high priest after the order of Melchizedek.

5:11

Περι ου πολυς ημιν ο λογος και δυσερμηνευτος λεγειν επει νωθροι γεγονατε ταις ακοαις

Of whom we have many things to say, and hard of interpretation, seeing ye are become dull of hearing.

5:12

και γαρ οφειλοντες ειναι διδασκαλοι δια τον χρονον παλιν χρειαν εχετε του διδασκειν υμας τινα τα στοιχεια της αρχης των λογιων του Θεου και γεγονατε χρειαν εχοντες γαλακτος και ου στερεας τροφης

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.

5:13

πας γαρ ο μετεχων γαλακτος απειρος λογου δικαιοσυνης νηπιος γαρ εστιν

For every one that partaketh of milk is without experience of the word of righteousness; for he is a babe.

5:14

τελειων δε εστιν η στερεα τροφη των δια την εξιν τα αισθητηρια γεγυμνασμενα εχοντων προς διακρισιν καλου τε και κακου

But solid food is for fullgrown men, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern good and evil.
