¹每一个大祭司都是从人间选出来，奉派替人办理与　神有关的事，为的是要献上礼物和赎罪的祭物。

¹For every chief priest — out of men taken — in behalf of men is set in things [pertaining] to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins,

²他能够温和地对待那些无知和迷误的人，因为他自己也被软弱所困。

²able to be gentle to those ignorant and going astray, since himself also is compassed with infirmity;

³因此，他怎样为人民的罪献祭，也应该怎样为自己的罪献祭。

³and because of this infirmity he ought, as for the people, so also for himself to offer for sins;

⁴没有人可以自己取得这大祭司的尊荣，只有像亚伦一样，蒙　神选召的才可以。

⁴and no one to himself doth take the honour, but he who is called by God, as also Aaron:

⁵照样，基督也没有自己争取作大祭司的尊荣，而是曾经对他说：“你是我的儿子，我今日生了你”的　神荣耀了他；

⁵so also the Christ did not glorify himself to become chief priest, but He who spake unto him: `My Son thou art, I to-day have begotten thee;`

⁶就像他在另一处说：“你是照着麦基洗德的体系，永远作祭司的。”

⁶as also in another [place] He saith, `Thou [art] a priest — to the age, according to the order of Melchisedek;`

⁷基督在世的时候，曾经流泪大声祷告恳求那位能救他脱离死亡的　神；因着他的敬虔，就蒙了应允。

⁷who in the days of his flesh both prayers and supplications unto Him who was able to save him from death — with strong crying and tears — having offered up, and having been heard in respect to that which he feared,

⁸他虽然是儿子，还是因着所受的苦难学会了顺从。

⁸through being a Son, did learn by the things which he suffered — the obedience,

⁹他既然顺从到底，就成了所有顺从他的人得到永远救恩的根源；

⁹and having been made perfect, he did become to all those obeying him a cause of salvation age-during,

¹⁰而且蒙　神照着麦基洗德的体系，称他为大祭司。

¹⁰having been addressed by God a chief priest, according to the order of Melchisedek,

¹¹劝勉信徒要长大成人论到这些事，我们有很多话要说，可是很难解释；因为你们已经迟钝了，听不进去。

¹¹concerning whom we have much discourse and of hard explanation to say, since ye have become dull of hearing,

¹²到这个时候，你们应该已经作老师了；可是你们还需要有人再把　神道理的初步教导你们。你们成了只能吃奶而不能吃干粮的人！

¹²for even owing to be teachers, because of the time, again ye have need that one teach you what [are] the elements of the beginning of the oracles of God, and ye have become having need of milk, and not of strong food,

¹³凡是吃奶的，还是个婴孩，对公义的道理没有经历；

¹³for every one who is partaking of milk [is] unskilled in the word of righteousness — for he is an infant,

¹⁴只有长大成人的，才能吃干粮，他们的官能因为操练纯熟，就能分辨是非了。

¹⁴and of perfect men is the strong food, who because of the use are having the senses exercised, unto the discernment both of good and of evil.
