Hebrews 5

NEW JERUSALEM	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Every high priest is taken from among human beings and is appointed to act on their behalf inrelationships with God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins;	1 For every high priest taken from among men, is ordained for men in the things that appertain to God, that he may offer up gifts and sacrifices for sins:
2 he can sympathise with those who are ignorant or who have gone astray, because he too is subject tothe limitations of weakness.	2 Who can have compassion on them that are ignorant and that err: because he himself also is compassed with infirmity.
3 That is why he has to make sin offerings for himself as wel as for the people.	3 And therefore he ought, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins.
4 No one takes this honour on himself; it needs a cal from God, as in Aaron's case.	4 Neither doth any man take the honour to himself, but he that is called by God, as Aaron was.
5 And so it was not Christ who gave himself the glory of becoming high priest, but the one who said tohim: You are my Son, today I have fathered you,	5 So Christ also did not glorify himself, that he might be made a high priest: but he that said unto him: Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.
6 and in another text: You are a priest for ever, of the order of Melchizedek.	6 As he saith also in another place: Thou art a priest for ever, according to the order of Melchisedech.
7 During his life on earth, he offered up prayer and entreaty, with loud cries and with tears, to the onewho had the power to save him from death, and, winning a hearing by his reverence,	7 Who in the days of his flesh, with a strong cry and tears, offering up prayers and supplications to him that was able to save him from death, was heard for his reverence.
8 he learnt obedience, Son though he was, through his sufferings;	8 And whereas indeed he was the Son of God, he learned obedience by the things which he suffered:
9 when he had been perfected, he became for al who obey him the source of eternal salvation	9 And being consummated, he became, to all that obey him, the cause of eternal salvation.
10 and was acclaimed by God with the title of high priest of the order of Melchizedek.	10 Called by God a high priest according to the order of Melchisedech.
11 On this subject we have many things to say, and they are difficult to explain because you have grownso slow at understanding.	11 Of whom we have much to say, and hard to be intelligibly uttered: because you are become weak to hear.
12 Indeed, when you should by this time have become masters, you need someone to teach you al overagain the elements of the principles of God's sayings; you have gone back to needing milk, and not solid food.	12 For whereas for the time you ought to be masters, you have need to be taught again what are the first elements of the words of God: and you are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.
13 Truly, no one who is stil living on milk can digest the doctrine of saving justice, being stil a baby.	13 For every one that is a partaker of milk, is unskillful in the word of justice: for he is a little child.
14 Solid food is for adults with minds trained by practice to distinguish between good and bad.	14 But strong meat is for the perfect; for them who by custom have their senses exercised to the discerning of good and evil.
