¹For every high priest taken from amongst men is established for men in things relating 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,

²being able to exercise forbearance towards the ignorant and erring, since he himself also is clothed 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, on account of this [infirmity], he ought, even 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 one takes the honour to himself but [as] called by God, even as Aaron also.

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

⁵Thus the Christ also has not glorified himself to be made a high priest; but he who had said to him, *Thou* art my Son, *I* have to-day 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);

⁶Even as also in another [place] he says, *Thou* [art] a priest for ever according to 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, having offered up both supplications and entreaties to him who was able to save him out of death, with strong crying and tears; (and having been heard because of his piety;)

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 Son, he learned obedience from the things which he suffered;

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

⁹and having been perfected, became to all them that obey him, author of eternal salvation;

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

¹⁰addressed by God [as] high priest according to the order of Melchisedec.

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

¹¹Concerning whom we have much to say, and hard to be interpreted in speaking [of it], since ye are become dull in 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 again need that [one] should teach you what [are] the elements of the beginning of the oracles of God, and are become such as have need of milk, [and] not of solid food.

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 partakes of milk [is] unskilled 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 solid food belongs to full-grown men, who, on account of habit, have their senses exercised for distinguishing 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]
