| 1 | For every chief priest taken out of men is set in things [pertaining] to God in behalf of men, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins, | 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 | being able to be gentle to those being ignorant and going astray, since he is also surrounded with weakness; | 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 because of this [weakness] he ought, just as for the people, so also for himself, to bring forward [sacrifices] for sins; | 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 one takes the honor to himself, but he who is called by God, as also 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 | So also the Christ did not glorify Himself to become Chief Priest, but He who spoke to Him: “You are My Son, today I have begotten You”; | 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 | just as He also says in another [place], “You [are] a priest throughout the age, according to the order of Melchizedek”; | 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 | who in the days of His flesh having offered up both prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears to Him who was able to save Him from death, and having been heard in respect to 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 being a Son, [He] learned obedience by the things which He suffered, | 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 having been made perfect, He became the cause of continuous salvation to all those obeying Him, | 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 | having been called by God a Chief Priest according to the order of Melchizedek, | 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 | concerning the Word, of whom we have much [to speak], and of hard explanation to say, since you have become dull of hearing, | 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 even owing to be teachers, because of the time, again you have need that one teach you what [are] the elements of the beginning of the oracles of God, and you have become having need of milk, and not of strong food, | 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 everyone who is partaking of milk [is] unskilled in the word of righteousness—for he is an infant, | 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 | and the strong food is of perfect men, who because of the use are having the senses exercised, to both the discernment of good and of evil. | 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. | |
