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.

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

²The high priest can deal gently with those who are ignorant and going astray, because he himself is also surrounded with weakness.

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

³Because of this, he must offer sacrifices for sins for the people, as well as for himself.

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

⁴Nobody takes this honor on himself, but he is called by God, just like Aaron was.

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

⁵So also Christ didn’t glorify himself to be made a high priest, but it was he who said to him, “You are my Son. Today I have become your father.” Psalm 2:7

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

⁶As he says also in another place, “You are a priest forever, after the order of Melchizedek.” Psalm 110:4

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

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

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

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

⁸مع كونه ابنا تعلّم الطاعة مما تألم به

⁹Having been made perfect, he became to all of those who obey him the author of eternal salvation,

⁹واذ كمّل صار لجميع الذين يطيعونه سبب خلاص ابدي

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

¹⁰مدعوّا من الله رئيس كهنة على رتبة ملكي صادق

¹¹About him we have many words to say, and hard to interpret, seeing you have become dull of hearing.

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

¹²For although by this time you should be teachers, you again need to have someone teach you the rudiments of the first principles of the oracles of God. You have come to need milk, and not solid food.

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.

¹³For everyone who lives on milk is not experienced in the word of righteousness, for he is a baby.

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

¹⁴But solid food is for those who are full grown, who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern good and evil.

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