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.

¹Sa' xyânkeb laj judío cuanqueb xyucua'il aj tij. Li junjûnk sic'bil ru sa' xyânkeb li cuînk chi c'anjelac chiru li Dios. Naxtenk'aheb li tenamit riq'uin xq'uebal li mayej quic' ut li c'a'ak chic re ru chi mayejil re xtojbal rix lix mâqueb.

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

²Li xyucua'il aj tij, a'an yal cuînkeb jo' lâo. Jo'can nak naxtok'oba ruheb ut naxtenk'aheb sa' usilal li neque'mâcob xban nak inc'a' neque'xnau xyâlal li yôqueb chixbânunquil.

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

³Xban nak yal cuînk li xyucua'il aj tij, jo'can nak rajlal namayejac re xtojbal rix lix mâc a'an. Ut namayejac ajcui' re xtojbal rix lix mâqueb chixjunileb li tenamit.

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

⁴Lix c'anjel li xyucua'il aj tij k'axal lok', aban mâ jun naxyo'ob xc'anjel yal xjunes rib. Eb a'an sic'bil ruheb xban li Dios. Li Dios naxxakabeb chi c'anjelac jo' nak quixakabâc laj Aarón najter.

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

⁵Jo'can ajcui' li Jesucristo. Moco yal xjunes ta quixxakab rib chi c'anjelac chok' xyucua'il aj tij. Aban li Dios quiq'uehoc re lix lok'al ut quixq'ue chi c'anjelac nak quixye re: At cualal, anakcuan xinq'ue âcuanquil. (Sal. 2:7)

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

⁶Quiyehe' cui'chic re xban li Dios jo' naxye sa' li Santil Hu: Lâat aj tij chi junelic jo' nak quicuan laj Melquisedec. (Sal. 110:4)

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,

⁷Nak li Jesucristo quicuan arin sa' ruchich'och' quiyâbac nak quitijoc. Chi cau xyâb xcux quitz'âman chiru li Dios, li cuan xcuanquil chi coloc re chiru li câmc. Ut li Dios quirabi lix tij xban nak quixk'axtesi rib re xbânunquil lix c'anjel li Dios.

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

⁸Usta Ralal li Dios li Jesucristo, quixc'ul ajcui' li raylal ut quixc'ut chiku chanru li pâbânc riq'uin li raylal quixc'ul.

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

⁹Riq'uin li raylal li quixc'ul li Jesucristo quitz'akobresîc ru chi c'anjelac chok' xyucua'il aj tij. Ut sa' xc'aba' a'an cuan li colba-ib chi junelic reheb li te'pâbânk re.

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

¹⁰Li Dios quixxakab li Jesucristo chok' xyucua'il aj tij jo' nak quicuan laj Melquisedec.

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

¹¹Toj cuan raj chic nabal naraj ch'olobâc xyâlal chêru chirix a'in. Abanan ch'a'aj xch'olobanquil xyâlal xban nak inc'a' chic nequeraj rabinquil.

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.

¹²Anakcuan lâex raj chic aj tzolonel xban nak ac junxil nequexpâban. Abanan târaj toj tâc'utek' cui'chic chêru li ac xetzol chak junxil nak xepâb chak li Dios. Chanchanex chic li c'ula'al li toj natu'uc li toj mâji' natzacan.

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

¹³Lâex nequenau nak junak c'ula'al toj natu'uc toj mâc'a' xna'leb. Inc'a' naxnau bar cuan li us ut bar cuan li inc'a' us.Eb li chêquel cristian jalan xtzacaêmkeb. Moco sic'bil ta ru li neque'xtzaca. A'an retalil nak ac xe'q'ui sa' xpâbâleb ut neque'xnau chic bar cuan li us ut bar cuan li inc'a' us.

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

¹⁴Eb li chêquel cristian jalan xtzacaêmkeb. Moco sic'bil ta ru li neque'xtzaca. A'an retalil nak ac xe'q'ui sa' xpâbâleb ut neque'xnau chic bar cuan li us ut bar cuan li inc'a' us.
