1凡從人間挑選的大祭司,是奉派替人辦理屬 神的事,為要獻上禮物和(或譯:要為罪獻上禮物和祭物)。Every high priest is appointed from among men to represent them in matters relating to God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins.

2他能那的和失迷的人,因為他自己也是被軟弱所困。He is able to deal gently with those who are ignorant and misguided, since he himself is subject to weakness.

3故此,他理當為百姓和自己獻祭贖罪。That is why he is obligated to offer sacrifices for his own sins, as well as for the sins of the people.

4這大祭司的尊榮,沒有人自取。惟要蒙 神所召,像一樣。No one takes this honor upon himself; he must be called by God, just as Aaron was.

5如此,基督也不是自取榮耀作大祭司,乃是在乎向他說「你是我的兒子,我今日生你」的那一位;So 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.”

6就如經上又有一處說:「你是照著的等次永遠為祭司。」And in another passage God says: “You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.”

7基督在肉體的時候,既大聲哀哭,流淚禱告,懇求那能救他免死的主,就因他的蒙了應允。During 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.

8他雖然為兒子,還是因所受的苦難學了順從。Although He was a Son, He learned obedience from what He suffered.

9他既,就為凡順從他的人成了永遠得救的根源,And having been made perfect, He became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey Him

10並蒙 神照著麥基洗德的等次稱他為大祭司。and was designated by God as high priest in the order of Melchizedek.

11論到麥基洗德,我們有好些話,並且難以解明,因為你們。We have much to say about this, but it is hard to explain, because you are dull of hearing.

12看你們學習的工夫,本該作師傅,誰知還得有人將 神聖言另教導你們,並且成了那必須吃奶、不能吃的人。Although 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!

13凡只能吃奶的都不熟練仁義的道理,因為他是嬰孩;For everyone who lives on milk is still an infant, inexperienced in the message of righteousness.

14惟獨長大成人的才能吃乾糧;他們的習練得通達,就能分辨好歹了。But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained their senses to distinguish good from evil.
