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,

¹Iga ülempreester, kes võetakse inimeste hulgast, seatakse inimeste asemel läbi käima Jumalaga, et ta tooks ande ja ohvreid pattude eest.

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

²Ta suudab mõistvalt kohelda arutuid ja eksijaid, kuna ta isegi on nõrkusest piiratud.

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

³Ja selle nõrkuse tõttu peab ta niisamuti nagu rahva, nõnda ka iseenese eest ohverdama pattude pärast.

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

⁴Ja keegi ei võta enesele seda au ise, vaid Jumala kutsel nagu Aarongi.

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;`

⁵Nõnda ei ole ka Kristus austanud ennast ise ülempreestriks saamisega, vaid see, kes talle on ütelnud: 'Sina oled mu Poeg, täna ma sünnitasin sinu.'

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

⁶Nõnda ta ütleb ka teises kohas: 'Sina oled igavesti preester Melkisedeki korra järgi.'

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,

⁷Oma maise elu päevil ohverdas Jeesus palumisi ja anumisi suure hüüdmise ja pisaratega selle poole, kes teda võis päästa surmast, ja teda võeti kuulda tema allaheitlikkuse tõttu.

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

⁸Ja olles küll Poeg, õppis ta kuulekust selle läbi, mida ta kannatas.

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

⁹Ja kui ta oli saanud täiuslikuks, sai ta igavese pääste toojaks kõigile, kes on talle kuulekad,

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

¹⁰kuna Jumal oli kuulutanud tema ülempreestriks Melkisedeki korra järgi.

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

¹¹Sellest oleks meil palju rääkida, aga see on raskesti seletatav, sest te olete jäänud kuulmisele tuimaks.

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,

¹²Teie, kes te selle aja peale peaksite olema õpetajad, vajate, et teile jälle õpetataks Jumala sõnade esmaseid algeid, te olete saanud nende väärseks, kes vajavad piima, mitte tahket toitu.

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

¹³Igaüks, kes toitub piimast, on veel vilumata õiguse sõnas, sest ta on alles väeti laps.

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.

¹⁴Tahke toit on aga täisealiste jaoks, kelle meeled on kogemuste varal harjunud eristama head ja kurja.
