Hebrews, Chapter 5

עברים ה

Every high priest is taken from among men and called of God, as was Aharon. So Messiah was called of God a high priest after the order of Malki-Tzedek, and learned obedience by the things He suffered. The hearers are rebuked for needing milk rather than strong food.

Called of God as high priest

5:1For every high priest taken from among men is ordained for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins:

Πᾶς γὰρ ἀρχιερεὺς, ἐξ ἀνθρώπων λαμβανόμενος, ὑπὲρ ἀνθρώπων καθίσταται τὰ πρὸς τὸν Θεόν, ἵνα προσφέρῃ δῶρά τε καὶ θυσίας ὑπὲρ ἁμαρτιῶν·

אכשאדם נבחר לשרת ככהן גדול, תפקידו לייצג את בני־האדם לפני אלוהים – עליו להקריב לאלוהים מנחה וקורבנות בעד־חטאיהם.

5:2Who can have compassion on the ignorant, and on them that are out of the way; for that he himself also is compassed with infirmity.

μετριοπαθεῖν δυνάμενος τοῖς ἀγνοοῦσι καὶ πλανωμένοις, ἐπεὶ καὶ αὐτὸς περίκειται ἀσθένειαν·

בעל הכהן הגדול להיות רחמן ולהתייחס אל החוטאים ברוך ובהבנה, שכן הוא עצמו אינו אלא אדם ועלול לחטוא כמוהם.

5:3And by reason hereof he ought, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins.

καὶ διὰ ταὐτὴν ὀφείλει καθὼς περὶ τοῦ λαοῦ, οὕτω καὶ περὶ ἑαυτοῦ προσφέρειν ὑπὲρ ἁμαρτιῶν.

גמסיבה זאת עליו להקריב קורבנות בעד חטאי העם ובעד חטאי עצמו.

5:4And no man takes this honour unto himself, but he that is called of God, as was Aharon (Aaron).

Καὶ οὐχ ἑαυτῷ τις λαμβάνει τὴν τιμήν, ἀλλὰ ὁ καλούμενος ὑπὸ τοῦ Θεοῦ, καθάπερ καὶ ὁ Ἀαρών·

דעלינו לזכור שאיש אינו יכול למנות את עצמו לתפקיד הרם והנכבד של הכהן הגדול. רק אלוהים עצמו ממנה את הכהן הגדול, כשם שמינה את אהרון לפני שנים רבות.

5:5So also Messiah glorified not Himself to be made a high priest; but He that said unto Him, “You are My Son, today have I begotten You.”

οὕτω καὶ ὁ Χριστὸς οὐχ ἑαυτὸν ἐδόξασε γενηθῆναι ἀρχιερέα, ἀλλ’ ὁ λαλήσας πρὸς αὐτόν, Υἱός μου εἶ σύ, ἐγὼ σήμερον γεγέννηκά σε.

הגם המשיח לא מינה את עצמו לתפקיד הכהן הגדול; המשיח נבחר לתפקידו על־ידי האלוהים אשר אמר אליו: ”בני אתה, אני היום ילדתיך“.

Tenakh. Quotes Psalm 2:7.

5:6As He says also in another place, “You are a priest for ever after the order of Malki-Tzedek (Melchisedec).”

καθὼς καὶ ἐν ἑτέρῳ λέγει, Σὺ ἱερεὺς εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα κατὰ τὴν τάξιν Μελχισέδεκ.

וובמקום אחר אמר לו אלוהים: ”אתה כהן לעולם, על דברתי מלכי־צדק“.

Tenakh. Quotes Psalm 110:4.

5:7Who in the days of His flesh, when He had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto Him that was able to save Him from death, and was heard in that He feared;

ὃς ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις τῆς σαρκὸς αὐτοῦ, δεήσεις τε καὶ ἱκετηρίας πρὸς τὸν δυνάμενον σῴζειν αὐτὸν ἐκ θανάτου μετὰ κραυγῆς ἰσχυρᾶς καὶ δακρύων προσενέγκας, καὶ εἰσακουσθεὶς ἀπὸ τῆς εὐλαβείας,

זכאשר חי המשיח על־פני האדמה בדמות אדם, הוא התפלל והתחנן בבכי ובדמעות לפני אלוהים שיושיעו מתוך הלחצים, הניסיונות והייסורים של המוות לניצחון התחייה. אלוהים שמע לתפילתו, כי המשיח אהב את אלוהים וציית לו תמיד.

5:8Though He were a Son, yet learned He obedience by the things which He suffered;

καίπερ ὢν υἱὸς, ἔμαθεν ἀφ’ ὧν ἔπαθε τὴν ὑπακοήν,

חאף כי ישוע היה בן־אלוהים, היה עליו ללמוד ציות על־ידי סבלו וייסוריו.

5:9And being made perfect, He became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey Him;

καὶ τελειωθεὶς ἐγένετο τοῖς ὑπακούουσιν αὐτῷ πᾶσιν αἴτιος σωτηρίας αἰωνίου·

טלאחר שהוכיח את עצמו מושלם לפני האלוהים, נעשה ישוע מקור ישועת עולמים לכל המצייתים לו,

5:10Called of God a high priest after the order of Malki-Tzedek.

προσαγορευθεὶς ὑπὸ τοῦ Θεοῦ ἀρχιερεὺς κατὰ τὴν τάξιν Μελχισέδεκ.

יוהוא זה שאלוהים מינה ככהן הגדול כמו מלכי־צדק.

Milk and strong food

5:11Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing you are dull of hearing.

Περὶ οὗ πολὺς ἡμῖν ὁ λόγος καὶ δυσερμήνευτος λέγειν, ἐπεὶ νωθροὶ γεγόνατε ταῖς ἀκοαῖς.

יאיש לי עוד הרבה לספר לכם בנושא זה, אך קשה לי להסביר לכם, כי נהייתם קשי־הבנה.

5:12For when for the time you ought to be teachers, you have need that one teach you again which are the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong food.

καὶ γὰρ ὀφείλοντες εἶναι διδάσκαλοι, διὰ τὸν χρόνον, πάλιν χρείαν ἔχετε τοῦ διδάσκειν ὑμᾶς, τινὰ τὰ στοιχεῖα τῆς ἀρχῆς τῶν λογίων τοῦ Θεοῦ· καὶ γεγόνατε χρείαν ἔχοντες γάλακτος, καὶ οὐ στερεᾶς τροφῆς.

יבבמקום שאתם, המאמינים הוותיקים, תלמדו את האחרים, אתם בעצמכם זקוקים עדיין למורים שילמדו אתכם את האלף־בית של בשורת האלוהים. אתם עדיין כתינוקות שזקוקים לחלב ולא למזון מוצק.

5:13For every one that uses milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.

πᾶς γὰρ ὁ μετέχων γάλακτος ἄπειρος λόγου δικαιοσύνης· νήπιος γάρ ἐστι.

יגומי שחי על חלב אינו מסוגל לעכל את דבר ה׳, ואינו יודע להבחין בין טוב לרע, כי טרם התבגר.

5:14But strong food belongs to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

τελείων δέ ἐστιν ἡ στερεὰ τροφή, τῶν διὰ τὴν ἕξιν τὰ αἰσθητήρια γεγυμνασμένα ἐχόντων πρὸς διάκρισιν καλοῦ τε καὶ κακοῦ.

ידמזון רוחני מוצק מיועד למבוגרים באמונה, אשר מתוך ניסיון למדו להבחין בין טוב לרע.

Sources & method

English translation
The King James Version (public domain), lightly modernized by Benei Avraham: “thee/thou/ye” become “you,” older verb forms are updated, and archaic words are replaced only where the meaning would otherwise be unclear. People and places with Hebrew names carry them, with the King James spelling in parentheses the first time on each page (e.g., Yeshua (Jesus)); Greek and Roman names keep their English form. Christ is “Messiah”; Lord, used of Yeshua, is “Master”; where the Greek has Kyrios for God, the English keeps “the Lord.” “Church” is “congregation,” “baptize” is “immerse,” and the Holy Ghost is “the Holy Spirit.”
