¹ Saraxalekat bu mag bu nekk nag, ci biir nit ñi lañu ko jële, te fal ko muy dox seen diggante ak Yàlla. Noonu dina jébbal Yàlla ay sarax, tey rendi ay mala ngir dindi seeni bàkkaar.

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,

² Te ndegam moom ci boppam nit kese la, man na muñal ñiy moy ndax seen ñàkka xam.

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

³ Li mu ñàkk doole moo tax mu war a def ay sarax ngir mbaalug bàkkaaram, ni mu ko tàmmee defal mbooloo mi.

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

⁴ Kenn mënul a teral sa bopp ba doon ab saraxalekat, su dul ne Yàllaa la woo, ni mu ko defe woon Aaroona.

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

⁵ Kirist itam yékkatiwul boppam, ba doon saraxalekat bu mag, waaye Yàlla moo ko woo, bi muy wax ne:«Yaa di sama Doom,maa di sa Baay tey.»

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;`

⁶ Am na feneen fu mu wax ne:«Doon nga saraxalekat ba fàwwmel ni Melkisedeg.»

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

⁷ Giiru dundam gépp ci àddina, Kirist da daan ñaan wall ci Yàlla, di ko dénku, boole ko ak i jooy ak i rangooñ. Da doon ñaan ci Yàlla, mi ko man a musal ci dee. Te ñaanam nangu na, ndax ni mu jébbale boppam Yàlla.

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,

⁸ Waaye li muy nekk-nekk doom, teewul mu jàng déggal Yàlla, jaare ko ci coono bi mu daj.

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

⁹ Noonu la àgge cig mat, ñu def ko ki waral mucc gi dul jeex, ngir ñi ko déggal ñépp.

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

¹⁰ Fekk na Yàlla tudde ko saraxalekat bu mag ni ko Melkisedeg nekke.

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

¹¹ Ci fànn googu, am na lu bare lu nu ci bëgg a wax, waaye tekkil leen ko dina jafe, ndaxte dangeen a naqari xel.

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

¹² Bu yàgg ngeen waroon a jàngal ñeneen ñi, waaye soxla ngeen ba tey ku leen di tette ci kàddug Yàlla. Léegi nag yéena ngi tollu fi ñu leen war a nàmpale, ndaxte àttanuleen ñam wu dëgër.

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,

¹³ Képp kuy nàmp, ab xale nga ba tey. Jëfeegoo njàngale, mi jëm ci wàllu njubte.

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

¹⁴ Waaye ñam wu dëgër, ñi mat a ko yelloo, maanaam ñiy jëfandikoo seen xel ngir ràññee lu baax ak lu bon.

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.
