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 凡从人间挑选的大祭司，是奉派替人办理属 神的事，为要献上礼物和赎罪祭 。

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

2 他能体谅那愚蒙的和失迷的人，因为他自己也是被软弱所困。

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

3 故此，他理当为百姓和自己献祭赎罪。

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

4 这大祭司的尊荣，没有人自取。惟要蒙 神所召，像亚伦一样。

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 如此，基督也不是自取荣耀作大祭司，乃是在乎向他说「你是我的儿子，我今日生你」的那一位；

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

6 就如经上又有一处说：「你是照着麦基洗德的等次永远为祭司。」

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 基督在肉体的时候，既大声哀哭，流泪祷告，恳求那能救他免死的主，就因他的虔诚蒙了应允。

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

8 他虽然为儿子，还是因所受的苦难学了顺从。

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

9 他既得以完全，就为凡顺从他的人成了永远得救的根源，

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

10 并蒙 神照着麦基洗德的等次称他为大祭司。

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

11 论到麦基洗德，我们有好些话，并且难以解明，因为你们听不进去。

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 看你们学习的工夫，本该作师傅，谁知还得有人将 神圣言小学的开端另教导你们，并且成了那必须吃奶、不能吃干粮的人。

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

13 凡只能吃奶的都不熟练仁义的道理，因为他是婴孩；

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

14 惟独长大成人的才能吃干粮；他们的心窍习练得通达，就能分辨好歹了。
