[HEBREWS] 希伯來書 05
[A] Jesus in the Line of Succession
to Melchizedek
01/Every high priest is chosen
<from the fellow- men>
and appointed to serve God
<on their behave>,
to offer sacrifices and offerings
<for sins>.
02/<Since>
he himself is weak <in many ways>,//
he is able to be gentle <with those>
{who are ignorant and make mistakes}.
03/<and> <because>
he is himself weak,//
he must offer sacrifices
<not only> <for the sins of the people>
<but also> <for his own sins>.
04/No one chooses for <himself>
the honour of being a high priest.
## It is only by God's call
{that a man is made a high priest-
<just as> Aron was.
05/<In the same way>,
Christ did not take upon himself
the honour of being a high priest.
## <Instead>,
God said to him,
"You are my Son;
today I have become your Father."
06/He also said<in another place>,
"You will be a priest <for ever>,
<in the line of succession to Melchizek>.
07/<In his life on earth>
Jesus made his prayers and requests
<with loud cries and tears> to God,
{who could safe him <from death>.
## <Becuse>
he was humble and devoted,//
God heard him.
08/<But>
<even though> he was God's Son,//
he learnt <through his sufferings
to be obedient.
09/<when>
he was made perfect,//
he became the source (of eternal salvation)
<for all those>
{who obey him}.
10/<And>
God declared him to be High Priest,
<in the line of succession/ to Melchizedek>.

[B] Warning against Abandoning
the Faith
011/There is much to say
<about this matter>,
<but>
it is hard to explain to you,
<because>
you are so slow to understand.
12/There has been enough time
<for you> to be teachers,
<yet>
you still need someone to teach you
the first lessons (of God's message).
## <instead of eating solid food>,
you still have to drink milk.
13/Anyone {who has to drink milk}
is still a child,
<without any experience>
(in the matter of right and wrong).
14/Solid food,<on the other hand>,
is for adults
{who <through practice> are able
to distinguish between good and evil}.
