Clementine Vulgate, 1598
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:
1Omnis namque pontifex ex hominibus assumptus, pro hominibus constituitur in iis quæ sunt ad Deum, ut offerat dona, et sacrificia pro peccatis:
2Who can have compassion on them that are ignorant and that err: because he himself also is compassed with infirmity.
2qui condolere possit iis qui ignorant et errant: quoniam et ipse circumdatus est infirmitate:
3And therefore he ought, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins.
3et propterea debet, quemadmodum pro populo, ita etiam et pro semetipso offerre pro peccatis.
4Neither doth any man take the honour to himself, but he that is called by God, as Aaron was.
4Nec quisquam sumit sibi honorem, sed qui vocatur a Deo, tamquam Aaron.
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.
5Sic et Christus non semetipsum clarificavit ut pontifex fieret: sed qui locutus est ad eum: Filius meus es tu, ego hodie genui te.
6As he saith also in another place: Thou art a priest for ever, according to the order of Melchisedech.
6Quemadmodum et in alio loco dicit: Tu es sacerdos in æternum, secundum ordinem Melchisedech.
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.
7Qui in diebus carnis suæ preces, supplicationesque ad eum qui possit illum salvum facere a morte cum clamore valido, et lacrimis offerens, exauditus est pro sua reverentia.
8And whereas indeed he was the Son of God, he learned obedience by the things which he suffered:
8Et quidem cum esset Filius Dei, didicit ex iis, quæ passus est, obedientiam:
9And being consummated, he became, to all that obey him, the cause of eternal salvation.
9et consummatus, factus est omnibus obtemperantibus sibi, causa salutis æternæ,
10Called by God a high priest according to the order of Melchisedech.
10appellatus a Deo pontifex juxta ordinem Melchisedech.
11Of whom we have much to say, and hard to be intelligibly uttered: because you are become weak to hear.
11De quo nobis grandis sermo, et ininterpretabilis ad dicendum: quoniam imbecilles facti estis ad audiendum.
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.
12Etenim cum deberetis magistri esse propter tempus, rursum indigetis ut vos doceamini quæ sint elementa exordii sermonum Dei: et facti estis quibus lacte opus sit, non solido cibo.
13For every one that is a partaker of milk, is unskillful in the word of justice: for he is a little child.
13Omnis enim, qui lactis est particeps, expers est sermonis justitiæ: parvulus enim est.
14But strong meat is for the perfect; for them who by custom have their senses exercised to the discerning of good and evil.
14Perfectorum autem est solidus cibus: eorum, qui pro consuetudine exercitatos habent sensus ad discretionem boni ac mali.
