Hebrews 5

1 Every high priest is appointed from among men to represent them in matters relating to God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins.

1 凡从人间选出来的大祭司，都是受委任代表人办理与上帝有关的事，为人的罪向上帝献上礼物和赎罪祭。

2 He is able to deal gently with those who are ignorant and misguided, since he himself is subject to weakness.

2 他能体谅那些无知和迷失的人，因为他自己也受制于人性的软弱。

3 That is why he is obligated to offer sacrifices for his own sins, as well as for the sins of the people.

3 所以，他不但要为众人的罪献祭，也要为自己的罪献祭。

4 No one takes this honor upon himself; he must be called by God, just as Aaron was.

4 没有人能自取这大祭司的尊荣，只有像亚伦一样蒙上帝呼召的人才可以做大祭司。

5 So also Christ did not take upon Himself the glory of becoming a high priest, but He was called by the One who said to Him: “You are My Son; today I have become Your Father.”

5 同样，基督也没有自取荣耀做大祭司，是上帝对祂说： “你是我的儿子， 我今日成为你父亲。”

6 And in another passage God says: “You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.”

6 在圣经的另一处，上帝又说： “你照麦基洗德的模式永远做祭司。”

7 During the days of Jesus’ earthly life, He offered up prayers and petitions with loud cries and tears to the One who could save Him from death, and He was heard because of His reverence.

7 基督在世为人的时候，曾经声泪俱下地祈求能救祂脱离死亡的上帝。祂因为敬虔而蒙了应允。

8 Although He was a Son, He learned obedience from what He suffered.

8 基督虽然是上帝的儿子，仍然从所受的苦难中学习了顺服。

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

9 祂既然达到了纯全的地步，就成了所有顺服祂的人得到永恒救恩的源头，

10 and was designated by God as high priest in the order of Melchizedek.

10 并且被上帝照麦基洗德的模式立为大祭司。

11 We have much to say about this, but it is hard to explain, because you are dull of hearing.

11 关于这方面的事，我们还有很多话要说，但因为你们已经听不进去，很难向你们解释。

12 Although by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to reteach you the basic principles of God’s word. You need milk, not solid food!

12 按你们学习的时间来算，你们本该做别人的老师了，可惜你们还需要别人向你们传授上帝话语的基本道理，成了不能吃干粮、只能吃奶的人。

13 For everyone who lives on milk is still an infant, inexperienced in the message of righteousness.

13 因为只能吃奶的人还是婴孩，不熟习公义之道。

14 But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained their senses to distinguish good from evil.

14 干粮是给成年人吃的，他们的心思历经锻炼，能够分辨善恶。
