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:

¹ܟܠ ܪܒ ܟܘܡܪܐ ܓܝܪ ܕܡܢ ܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܗܘܐ ܚܠܦ ܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܩܐܡ ܥܠ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܕܐܠܗܐ ܐܢܝܢ ܕܢܩܪܒ ܩܘܪܒܢܐ ܘܕܒܚܐ ܚܠܦ ܚܛܗܐ ܀

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

²ܐܝܢܐ ܕܡܫܟܚ ܕܢܡܟ ܢܦܫܗ ܘܢܚܫ ܥܡ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܠܐ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܘܛܥܝܢ ܡܛܠ ܕܐܦ ܗܘ ܟܪܝܗܘܬܐ ܠܒܝܫ ܀

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

³ܘܡܛܠܬܗ ܚܝܒ ܗܘ ܕܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܚܠܦ ܥܡܐ ܗܟܢܐ ܐܦ ܚܠܦ ܢܦܫܗ ܢܩܪܒ ܥܠ ܚܛܗܘܗܝ ܀

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

⁴ܘܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܢܦܫܗ ܐܢܫ ܢܤܒ ܐܝܩܪܐ ܐܠܐ ܐܝܢܐ ܕܡܬܩܪܐ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܐܗܪܘܢ ܀

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:

⁵ܗܟܢܐ ܐܦ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܢܦܫܗ ܫܒܚ ܕܢܗܘܐ ܪܒ ܟܘܡܪܐ ܐܠܐ ܗܘ ܕܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܕܒܪܝ ܐܢܬ ܐܢܐ ܝܘܡܢܐ ܝܠܕܬܟ ܀

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

⁶ܐܝܟ ܕܐܦ ܒܕܘܟܬܐ ܐܚܪܬܐ ܐܡܪ ܕܐܢܬ ܗܘ ܟܘܡܪܐ ܠܥܠܡ ܒܕܡܘܬܗ ܕܡܠܟܝܙܕܩ ܀

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,

⁷ܐܦ ܟܕ ܒܤܪܐ ܠܒܝܫ ܗܘܐ ܒܥܘܬܐ ܘܬܟܫܦܬܐ ܒܓܥܬܐ ܚܝܠܬܢܝܬܐ ܘܒܕܡܥܐ ܩܪܒ ܗܘܐ ܠܡܢ ܕܡܫܟܚ ܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܡܘܬܐ ܕܢܚܝܘܗܝ ܘܐܫܬܡܥ ܀

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

⁸ܘܟܕ ܛܒ ܒܪܐ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܡܢ ܕܚܠܬܐ ܘܚܫܐ ܕܤܒܠ ܝܠܦܗ ܠܡܫܬܡܥܢܘܬܐ ܀

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

⁹ܘܗܟܢܐ ܐܬܓܡܪ ܘܗܘܐ ܠܟܠܗܘܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܫܬܡܥܝܢ ܠܗ ܥܠܬܐ ܕܚܝܐ ܕܠܥܠܡ ܀

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

¹⁰ܘܐܫܬܡܗ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܪܒ ܟܘܡܪܐ ܒܕܡܘܬܗ ܕܡܠܟܝܙܕܩ ܀

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

¹¹ܥܠܘܗܝ ܕܝܢ ܥܠ ܗܢܐ ܡܠܟܝܙܕܩ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܗܝ ܠܢ ܡܠܬܐ ܠܡܐܡܪܗ ܘܥܤܩܐ ܠܡܦܫܩܘܬܗ ܡܛܠ ܕܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܟܪܝܗܐ ܒܡܫܡܥܬܟܘܢ ܀

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.

¹²ܚܝܒܝܢ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܡܠܦܢܐ ܠܡܗܘܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܙܒܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܒܝܘܠܦܢܐ ܗܫܐ ܕܝܢ ܬܘܒ ܤܢܝܩܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܬܐܠܦܘܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܐܢܝܢ ܟܬܝܒܬܐ ܩܕܡܝܬܐ ܕܪܝܫ ܡܠܘܗܝ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܘܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܤܢܝܩܐ ܥܠ ܚܠܒܐ ܘܠܐ ܥܠ ܡܐܟܘܠܬܐ ܫܪܝܪܬܐ ܀

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

¹³ܟܠܢܫ ܕܝܢ ܕܡܐܟܘܠܬܗ ܚܠܒܐ ܗܘ ܠܐ ܡܦܤ ܒܡܠܬܐ ܕܟܐܢܘܬܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܫܒܪܐ ܗܘ ܀

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

¹⁴ܕܓܡܝܪܐ ܗܝ ܕܝܢ ܡܐܟܘܠܬܐ ܫܪܝܪܬܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܛܠ ܕܡܕܪܫܝܢ ܐܬܢܦܩܘ ܪܓܫܝܗܘܢ ܠܡܦܪܫ ܛܒܬܐ ܘܒܝܫܬܐ ܀
