¹لان كل رئيس كهنة مأخوذ من الناس يقام لاجل الناس في ما للّه لكي يقدم قرابين وذبائح عن الخطايا

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

²قادرا ان يترفق بالجهال والضالين اذ هو ايضا محاط بالضعف.

²who can bear gently with the ignorant and erring, for that he himself also is compassed with infirmity;

³ولهذا الضعف يلتزم انه كما يقدم عن الخطايا لاجل الشعب هكذا ايضا لاجل نفسه.

³and by reason thereof is bound, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins.

⁴ولا يأخذ احد هذه الوظيفة بنفسه بل المدعو من الله كما هرون ايضا.

⁴And no man taketh the honor unto himself, but when he is called of God, even as was Aaron.

⁵كذلك المسيح ايضا لم يمجد نفسه ليصير رئيس كهنة بل الذي قال له انت ابني انا اليوم ولدتك.

⁵So Christ also glorified not himself to be made a high priest, but he that spake unto him, Thou art my Son, This day have I begotten thee:

⁶كما يقول ايضا في موضع آخر انت كاهن الى الابد على رتبة ملكي صادق.

⁶as he saith also in another [place,] Thou art a priest for ever After the order of Melchizedek.

⁷الذي في ايام جسده اذ قدم بصراخ شديد ودموع طلبات وتضرعات للقادر ان يخلصه من الموت وسمع له من اجل تقواه

⁷Who in the days of his flesh, having offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and having been heard for his godly fear,

⁸مع كونه ابنا تعلّم الطاعة مما تألم به

⁸though he was a Son, yet learned obedience by the things which he suffered;

⁹واذ كمّل صار لجميع الذين يطيعونه سبب خلاص ابدي

⁹and having been made perfect, he became unto all them that obey him the author of eternal salvation;

¹⁰مدعوّا من الله رئيس كهنة على رتبة ملكي صادق

¹⁰named of God a high priest after the order of Melchizedek.

¹¹الذي من جهته الكلام كثير عندنا وعسر التفسير لننطق به اذ قد صرتم متباطئي المسامع.

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

¹²لانكم اذ كان ينبغي ان تكونوا معلّمين لسبب طول الزمان تحتاجون ان يعلمكم احد ما هي اركان بداءة اقوال الله وصرتم محتاجين الى اللبن لا الى طعام قوي.

¹²For when by reason of the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need again that some one teach you the rudiments of the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of solid food.

¹³لان كل من يتناول اللبن هو عديم الخبرة في كلام البر لانه طفل.

¹³For every one that partaketh of milk is without experience of the word of righteousness; for he is a babe.

¹⁴واما الطعام القوي فللبالغين الذين بسبب التمرن قد صارت لهم الحواس مدربة على التمييز بين الخير والشر

¹⁴But solid food is for fullgrown men, [even] those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern good and evil.
