1Ko eni, ko e taulaʻeiki lahi kotoa pē kuo fili mei he kakai, kuo fakanofo ia maʻae kakai ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ʻae ʻOtua, koeʻuhi ke ne ʻatu ʻae ngaahi meʻa foaki mo e ngaahi feilaulau koeʻuhi ko e angahala:
1Every high priest is appointed from among men to represent them in matters relating to God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins.
2ʻAia ʻoku ne faʻa ʻofa mamahi ki he vale, pea mo e hēhē; koeʻuhi kuo takatakai foki ia ʻe he vaivai.
2He is able to deal gently with those who are ignorant and misguided, since he himself is beset by weakness.
3Pea ko e meʻa ia ʻoku totonu ke ne fai tatau ai ʻae feilaulau maʻae kakai, pea maʻana foki, koeʻuhi ko e angahala.
3That is why he is obligated to offer sacrifices for his own sins, as well as for the sins of the people.
4Pea ʻoku ʻikai toʻo ʻe ha tangata ʻae ngaue tapu ni kiate ia, ka ko ia kuo ui ʻe he ʻOtua, ʻo hangē ko ʻElone.
4No one takes this honor upon himself; he must be called by God, just as Aaron was.
5Pea pehē, naʻe ʻikai fakaongoongolelei ʻe ia ia ʻe Kalaisi, ke ne hoko ai ko e fungani taulaʻeiki; ka ko ia ne ne pehē kiate ia, “Ko hoku ʻAlo koe, kuo u fakatupu koe he ʻaho ni.”
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.”
6ʻO hangē ko ʻene lea foki ʻe taha, “Ko e taulaʻeiki koe ʻo taʻengata, ʻi he lakanga ʻo Melekiseteki.”
6And in another passage God says: “You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.”
7ʻAia ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo hono sino, kuo ne ʻohake ʻae hū mo e kole tāumaʻu, fakataha mo e tangi mālohi mo e loʻimata, kiate ia naʻe faʻa fai ke fakamoʻui ia mei he mate, pea naʻe ongoʻi ia ʻi he meʻa naʻe manavahē ai ia;
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.
8Neongo ko e ʻAlo ia, ka naʻe akonekina ia ke talangofua ʻe he ngaahi meʻa naʻa ne kātaki;
8Although He was a Son, He learned obedience from what He suffered.
9Pea kuo fakahaohaoa ia, pea ne hoko ko e tupuʻanga ʻoe moʻui taʻengata kiate kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku talangofua kiate ia;
9And having been made perfect, He became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey Him
10Kuo ui ʻe he ʻOtua ko e fungani taulaʻeiki ʻi he lakanga ʻo Melekiseteki.
10and was designated by God as high priest in the order of Melchizedek.
11ʻAia ʻoku ʻi ai ʻae ngaahi meʻa lahi ʻiate kimautolu ke leaʻaki, pea faingataʻa hono fakamatala, ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻomou taʻeongongofua.
11We have much to say about this, but it is hard to explain, because you are dull of hearing.
12He ko e meʻa ʻi he fuoloa kuo taau mo kimoutolu ke akonaki, ka ʻoku ʻaonga ke toe akonekina ʻakimoutolu pe ko e hā hono ʻuluaki tefito ʻoe ngaahi folofola ʻae ʻOtua; pea kuo mou toe tatau mo ia ʻoku ʻaonga ki ai ʻae huʻahuhu, kae ʻikai ha meʻakai mālohi.
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!
13He ko ia kotoa pē ʻoku fakahuhu ʻi he huʻahuhu, ʻoku taʻepoto ia ʻi he folofola ʻoe māʻoniʻoni: he ko e valevale ia.
13For everyone who lives on milk is still an infant, inexperienced in the message of righteousness.
14Ka ko e meʻakai mālohi, ʻoku ʻanautolu ʻoku matuʻotuʻa, ʻakinautolu ko e meʻa ʻi he maheni ai, ʻi he faʻa ngāueʻaki ʻae ngaahi anga ʻo honau loto, ʻoku nau ʻilo ai ʻae lelei mo e kovi.
14But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained their senses to distinguish good from evil.
