1For every high priest taken from among men, is ordained for men in the things that appertain to God, that he may offer up gifts and sacrifices for sins:
1Every high priest is appointed from among men to represent them in matters relating to God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins.
2Who can have compassion on them that are ignorant and that err: because he himself also is compassed with infirmity.
2He is able to deal gently with those who are ignorant and misguided, since he himself is beset by weakness.
3And therefore he ought, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins.
3That is why he is obligated to offer sacrifices for his own sins, as well as for the sins of the people.
4Neither doth any man take the honour to himself, but he that is called by God, as Aaron was.
4No one takes this honor upon himself; he must be called by God, just as Aaron was.
5So Christ also did not glorify himself, that he might be made a high priest: but he that said unto him: Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.
5So also Christ did not take upon Himself the glory of becoming a high priest, but He was called by the One who said to Him: “You are My Son; today I have become Your Father.”
6As he saith also in another place: Thou art a priest for ever, according to the order of Melchisedech.
6And in another passage God says: “You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.”
7Who in the days of his flesh, with a strong cry and tears, offering up prayers and supplications to him that was able to save him from death, was heard for his reverence.
7During the days of Jesus’ earthly life, He offered up prayers and petitions with loud cries and tears to the One who could save Him from death, and He was heard because of His reverence.
8And whereas indeed he was the Son of God, he learned obedience by the things which he suffered:
8Although He was a Son, He learned obedience from what He suffered.
9And being consummated, he became, to all that obey him, the cause of eternal salvation.
9And having been made perfect, He became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey Him
10Called by God a high priest according to the order of Melchisedech.
10and was designated by God as high priest in the order of Melchizedek.
11Of whom we have much to say, and hard to be intelligibly uttered: because you are become weak to hear.
11We have much to say about this, but it is hard to explain, because you are dull of hearing.
12For whereas for the time you ought to be masters, you have need to be taught again what are the first elements of the words of God: and you are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.
12Although by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to reteach you the basic principles of God’s word. You need milk, not solid food!
13For every one that is a partaker of milk, is unskillful in the word of justice: for he is a little child.
13For everyone who lives on milk is still an infant, inexperienced in the message of righteousness.
14But strong meat is for the perfect; for them who by custom have their senses exercised to the discerning of good and evil.
14But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained their senses to distinguish good from evil.
