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 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;

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

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

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.»

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.

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

⁶Even as also in another [place] he says, *Thou* [art] a priest for ever according to the order of Melchisedec.

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, 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;)

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

⁸though he were Son, he learned obedience from the things which he suffered;

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

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

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

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

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 to say, and hard to be interpreted in speaking [of it], since ye are become dull in 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 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.

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

¹³For every one that partakes of milk [is] unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is a babe;

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

¹⁴but solid food belongs to full-grown men, who, on account of habit, have their senses exercised for distinguishing both good and evil.
