1 For euery hye priest taken from among men, is ordeined for men, in things parteynyng to God, to offer gyftes & sacrifices for sinne: For every high priest chosen from among men is appointed to act on behalf of men in relation to God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins. Every high priest is selected from among the people and is appointed to represent the people in matters related to God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins.
2 Which can sufficiently haue compassion on the ignoraunt, & on them that erre out of the waye, forasmuche as he hym selfe also is compassed with infirmitie. He can deal gently with the ignorant and wayward, since he himself is beset with weakness. He is able to deal gently with those who are ignorant and are going astray, since he himself is subject to weakness.
3 And for ye same infirmitie he is bounde to offer for sinnes, aswell for hym selfe, as for the people. Because of this he is obligated to offer sacrifice for his own sins just as he does for those of the people. This is why he has to offer sacrifices for his own sins, as well as for the sins of the people.
4 And no man taketh the honour vnto hym selfe, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron. And no one takes this honor for himself, but only when called by God, just as Aaron was. And no one takes this honor on himself, but he receives it when called by God, just as Aaron was.
5 Euen so, Christ also glorified not hym selfe to be made ye hye priest: but he that sayde vnto hym, thou art my sonne, to day haue I begotten thee gaue it hym. So also Christ did not exalt himself to be made a high priest, but was appointed by him who said to him, “You are my Son, today I have begotten you”; In the same way, Christ did not take on himself the glory of becoming a high priest. But God said to him, “You are my Son; today I have become your Father.”
6 As he saith also in another place: thou art a priest for euer, after the order of Melchisedech. as he says also in another place, “You are a priest forever, after the order of Melchizedek.” And he says in another place, “You are a priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek.”
7 Which in the dayes of his fleshe, when he had offered vp prayers and supplications with strong crying and teares, vnto hym that was able to saue hym from death, and was hearde in that which he feared: In the days of his flesh, Jesus offered up prayers and supplications, with loud cries and tears, to him who was able to save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverence. During the days of Jesus’ life on earth, he offered up prayers and petitions with fervent cries and tears to the one who could save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverent submission.
8 Though he were the sonne, yet learned he obediece, by these thinges which he suffred: Although he was a son, he learned obedience through what he suffered. Son though he was, he learned obedience from what he suffered
9 And being perfect, was made the aucthour of eternall saluation vnto al them that obey hym: And being made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey him, and, once made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him
10 And is called of God an hye priest after the order of Melchisedech. being designated by God a high priest after the order of Melchizedek. and was designated by God to be high priest in the order of Melchizedek.
11 Of whom we haue many thynges to say, and harde to be vttered, seing ye are dull of hearyng. About this we have much to say, and it is hard to explain, since you have become dull of hearing. 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 For when as concernyng the tyme, ye ought to be teachers, yet haue ye nede againe that we teache you the first principles of the begynnyng of the worde of God, and are become such as haue nede of mylke, and not of strong meate. For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the basic principles of the oracles of God. You need milk, not solid food, In fact, though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the elementary truths of God’s word all over again. You need milk, not solid food!
13 For euery one that vseth mylke, is vnexpert of the worde of righteousnes, for he is a babe. for everyone who lives on milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, since he is a child. Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant, is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness.
14 But strong meate belongeth to them that are perfecte, euen those whiche by reason of vse, haue their wittes exercised to discerne both good and euyll. But solid food is for the mature, for those who have their powers of discernment trained by constant practice to distinguish good from evil. But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil.
