Hebrews 5

¹For every high priest taken from among men is appointed on behalf of men in things pertaining to God, in order to offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins;

¹凡從人間挑選的大祭司，是奉派替人辦理屬神的事，為要獻上禮物和贖罪祭（或作：要為罪獻上禮物和祭物）。

²he can deal gently with the ignorant and misguided, since he himself also is beset with weakness;

²他能體諒那愚蒙的和失迷的人，因為他自己也是被軟弱所困。

³and because of it he is obligated to offer [sacrifices] for sins, as for the people, so also for himself.

³故此，他理當為百姓和自己獻祭贖罪。

⁴And no one takes the honor to himself, but [receives it] when he is called by God, even as Aaron was.

⁴這大祭司的尊榮，沒有人自取。惟要蒙神所召，像亞倫一樣。

⁵So also Christ did not glorify Himself so as to become a high priest, but He who said to Him, 'YOU ARE MY SON, TODAY I HAVE BEGOTTEN YOU';

⁵如此，基督也不是自取榮耀作大祭司，乃是在乎向他說你是我的兒子，我今日生你的那一位；

⁶just as He says also in another [passage], 'YOU ARE A PRIEST FOREVER ACCORDING TO THE ORDER OF MELCHIZEDEK.'

⁶就如經上又有一處說：你是照著麥基洗德的等次永遠為祭司。

⁷In the days of His flesh, He offered up both prayers and supplications with loud crying and tears to the One able to save Him from death, and He was heard because of His piety.

⁷基督在肉體的時候，既大聲哀哭，流淚禱告，懇求那能救他免死的主，就因他的虔誠蒙了應允。

⁸Although He was a Son, He learned obedience from the things which He suffered.

⁸他雖然為兒子，還是因所受的苦難學了順從。

⁹And having been made perfect, He became to all those who obey Him the source of eternal salvation,

⁹他既得以完全，就為凡順從他的人成了永遠得救的根源、

¹⁰being designated by God as a high priest according to the order of Melchizedek.

¹⁰並蒙神照著麥基洗德的等次稱他為大祭司。

¹¹Concerning him we have much to say, and [it is] hard to explain, since you have become dull of hearing.

¹¹論到麥基洗德，我們有好些話，並且難以解明，因為你們聽不進去。

¹²For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you have need again for someone to teach you the elementary principles of the oracles of God, and you have come to need milk and not solid food.

¹²看你們學習的工夫，本該作師傅，誰知還得有人將神聖言小學的開端另教導你們，並且成了那必須吃奶，不能吃乾糧的人。

¹³For everyone who partakes [only] of milk is not accustomed to the word of righteousness, for he is an infant.

¹³凡只能吃奶的都不熟練仁義的道理，因為他是嬰孩；

¹⁴But solid food is for the mature, who because of practice have their senses trained to discern good and evil.

¹⁴惟獨長大成人的才能吃乾糧；他們的心竅習練得通達，就能分辨好歹了。
