Lettera agli Ebrei - Hebrews 5

GREEK BIBLE	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Διοτι πας αρχιερευς, εξ ανθρωπων λαμβανομενος, υπερ ανθρωπων καθισταται εις τα προς τον Θεον, δια να προσφερη δωρα τε και θυσιας υπερ αμαρτιων,	1 Every high priest is taken from among men and made their representative before God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins.
2 δυναμενος να συμπαθη εις τους αγνοουντας και πλανωμενους, διοτι και αυτος ειναι περιενδεδυμενος ασθενειαν?	2 He is able to deal patiently with the ignorant and erring, for he himself is beset by weakness
3 και δια ταυτην χρεωστει, καθως περι του λαου, ουτω και περι εαυτου να προσφερη θυσιαν υπερ αμαρτιων.	3 and so, for this reason, must make sin offerings for himself as well as for the people.
4 Και ουδεις λαμβανει την τιμην ταυτην εις εαυτον, αλλ' ο καλουμενος υπο του Θεου, καθως και ο Ααρων.	4 No one takes this honor upon himself but only when called by God, just as Aaron was.
5 Ουτω και ο Χριστος δεν εδοξασεν εαυτον δια να γεινη αρχιερευς, αλλ' ο λαλησας προς αυτον? Υιος μου εισαι συ, εγω σημερον σε εγεννησα?	5 In the same way, it was not Christ who glorified himself in becoming high priest, but rather the one who said to him: "You are my son; this day I have begotten you";
6 καθως και αλλαχου λεγει? Συ εισαι ιερευς εις τον αιωνα κατα την ταξιν Μελχισεδεκ.	6 just as he says in another place: "You are a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek."
7 Οστις εν ταις ημεραις της σαρκος αυτου, αφου μετα κραυγης δυνατης και δακρυων προσεφερε δεησεις και ικεσιας προς τον δυναμενον να σωζη αυτον εκ του θανατου, και εισηκουσθη δια την ευλαβειαν αυτου,	7 In the days when he was in the flesh, he offered prayers and supplications with loud cries and tears to the one who was able to save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverence.
8 καιτοι ων Υιος, εμαθε την υπακοην αφ' οσων επαθε,	8 Son though he was, he learned obedience from what he suffered;
9 και γενομενος τελειος, κατεσταθη αιτιος σωτηριας αιωνιου εις παντας τους υπακουοντας εις αυτον,	9 and when he was made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him,
10 ονομασθεις υπο του Θεου αρχιερευς κατα την ταξιν Μελχισεδεκ?	10 declared by God high priest according to the order of Melchizedek.
11 Περι του οποιου πολλα εχομεν να ειπωμεν και δυσερμηνευτα, διοτι εγεινετε νωθροι τας ακοας.	11 About this we have much to say, and it is difficult to explain, for you have become sluggish in hearing.
12 Επειδη ενω ως προς τον καιρον επρεπε να ησθε διδασκαλοι, παλιν εχετε χρειαν του να σας διδασκη τις τα αρχικα στοιχεια των λογων του Θεου, και κατηντησατε να εχητε χρειαν γαλακτος και ουχι στερεας τροφης.	12 Although you should be teachers by this time, you need to have someone teach you again the basic elements of the utterances of God. You need milk, (and) not solid food.
13 Διοτι πας ο μετεχων γαλακτος ειναι απειρος του λογου της δικαιοσυνης? επειδη ειναι νηπιος?	13 Everyone who lives on milk lacks experience of the word of righteousness, for he is a child.
14 των τελειων ομως ειναι η στερεα τροφη, οιτινες δια την εξιν εχουσι τα αισθητηρια γεγυμνασμενα εις το να διακρινωσι το καλον και το κακον.	14 But solid food is for the mature, for those whose faculties are trained by practice to discern good and evil.
