Hebrews 5


font
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition NOVA VULGATA
1 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.1 Omnis namque pontifex ex hominibus assumptus pro homi nibus constituitur in his, quae sunt ad Deum, ut offerat dona et sacrificia pro peccatis;
2 He can deal gently with the ignorant and wayward, since he himself is beset with weakness.2 qui aeque condolere possit his, qui ignorant et errant, quoniam et ipse circumdatus est infirmitate
3 Because of this he is bound to offer sacrifice for his own sins as well as for those of the people.3 et propter eam debet, quemadmodum et pro populo, ita etiam pro semetipso offerre pro peccatis.
4 And one does not take the honor upon himself, but he is called by God, just as Aaron was.4 Nec quisquam sumit sibi illum honorem, sed qui vocatur a Deo tamquam et Aaron.
5 So also Christ did not exalt himself to be made a high priest, but was appointed by him who said to him, "Thou art my Son, today I have begotten thee";5 Sic et Christus non semetipsum glorificavit, ut pontifex fieret, sed qui locutus est ad eum:
“ Filius meus es tu;
ego hodie genui te ”;
6 as he says also in another place, "Thou art a priest for ever, after the order of Melchizedek."6 quemadmodum et in alio dicit:
“ Tu es sacerdos in aeternum secundum ordinem Melchisedech ”.
7 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 for his godly fear.7 Qui in diebus carnis suae, preces supplicationesque ad eum, qui possit salvum illum a morte facere, cum clamore valido et lacrimis offerens et exauditus pro sua reverentia,
8 Although he was a Son, he learned obedience through what he suffered;8 et quidem cum esset Filius, didicit ex his, quae passus est, oboedientiam;
9 and being made perfect he became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey him,9 et, consummatus, factus est omnibus oboedientibus sibi auctor salutis aeternae,
10 being designated by God a high priest after the order of Melchizedek.10 appellatus a Deo pontifex iuxta ordinem Melchisedech.
11 About this we have much to say which is hard to explain, since you have become dull of hearing.11 De quo grandis nobis sermo et ininterpretabilis ad dicendum, quoniam segnes facti estis ad audiendum.
12 For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need some one to teach you again the first principles of God's word. You need milk, not solid food;12 Etenim cum deberetis magistri esse propter tempus, rursum indigetis, ut vos doceat aliquis elementa exordii sermonum Dei, et facti estis, quibus lacte opus sit, non solido cibo.
13 for every one who lives on milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is a child.13 Omnis enim, qui lactis est particeps, expers est sermonis iustitiae, parvulus enim est;
14 But solid food is for the mature, for those who have their faculties trained by practice to distinguish good from evil.14 perfectorum autem est solidus cibus, eorum, qui pro consuetudine exercitatos habent sensus ad discretionem boni ac mali.
