¹For every high priest taken from among men is ordained for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins:

¹Fa ny mpisoronabe rehetra dia alaina amin'ny olona ka tendrena ho solon'ny olona hanao ny raharahan'Andriamanitra, hanatitra fanomezana sy fanatitra hanafaka ota,

²Who can have compassion on the ignorant, and on them that are out of the way; for that he himself also is compassed with infirmity.

²dia olona izay mahay mitondra mora ny tsy mahalala sy ny mania, satria ny tenany koa dia mba hodidinin'ny fahalemena ihany;

³And by reason hereof he ought, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins.

³ary noho izany dia tsy maintsy hanao fanatitra hanafaka ota ho an'ny tenany koa izy, toy ny ataony ho an'ny olona ihany.

⁴And no man taketh this honour unto himself, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron.

⁴Ary tsy misy maka izany voninahitra izany ho an'ny tenany afa-tsy izay antsoin'Andriamanitra, tahaka an'i Arona.

⁵So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee.

⁵Dia toy izany koa Kristy: tsy Izy no nanandratra ny tenany ho Mpisoronabe, fa Ilay nanao taminy hoe: "Zanako Hianao, Izaho niteraka Anao androany" (Sal.2.7);

⁶As he saith also in another place, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.

⁶ary toy ny lazainy eo amin'ny teny hafa koa hoe: "Hianao no Mpisorona mandrakizay Araka ny fanaon'i Melkizedeka" (Sal.110.4).

⁷Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared;

⁷Tamin'ny andron'ny nofony, raha nanao fivavahana sy fangatahana nomban'ny fitarainana mafy sy ny ranomaso be tamin'izay nahavonjy Azy tamin'ny fahafatesana Izy, sady voahaino noho ny fahatahorany an'Andriamanitra, [ Gr. nanatitra] [ Na: voahaino ka afaka tamin'ny fahatahorany]

⁸Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered;

⁸dia nianatra fanarahana tamin'izay fahoriana nentiny Izy, na dia Zanaka aza;

⁹And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;

⁹ary rehefa natao tanteraka Izy, dia tonga loharanon'ny famonjena mandrakizay ho an'izay rehetra manaraka Azy,

¹⁰Called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec.

¹⁰fa notononin'Andriamanitra hoe Mpisoronabe "araka ny fanaon'i Melkizedeka."

¹¹Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing.

¹¹[Anatra sy famporisihana hampandroso tsara ny olona] Ny amin'izany dia manana teny maro izahay sady sarotra ambara, satria lalodalovana ny sofinareo.

¹²For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.

¹²Fa na dia tokony ho efa mpampianatra aza ianareo noho ny fahelan'ny andro, dia mbola mila izay hampianatra anareo ny abidim-pianaran'ny tenin'Andriamanitra indray; ary efa toy izay tokony homen-dronono ianareo, fa tsy ventin-kanina.

¹³For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.

¹³Fa izay rehetra mivelona amin'ny ronono dia tsy zatra amin'ny tenin'ny fahamarinana, satria mbola zaza-bodo.Fa ho an'izay efa lehibe ny ventin-kanina, dia ho an'izay manana ny saina efa zatra nampiasaina tsara ka mahay manavaka ny tsara sy ny ratsy. [ Na: tanteraka]

¹⁴But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

¹⁴Fa ho an'izay efa lehibe ny ventin-kanina, dia ho an'izay manana ny saina efa zatra nampiasaina tsara ka mahay manavaka ny tsara sy ny ratsy. [ Na: tanteraka]
