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,

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,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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);

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;`

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

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

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]

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,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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,

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]

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

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]

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.
