Hebrews 5

Ko ia tohunga nui hoki e tangohia nei i roto i nga tangata, he mea whakatu ratou mo nga mea a nga tangata ki te Atua, hei tapae i nga whakahere, i nga patunga tapu mo nga hara:

For 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:

E taea e ia te ata hanga ki te hunga e kuware ana, e kotiti ke ana; no te mea e muia ana ano ia e te ngoikore;

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

Na konei i tika ai, kia rite ki tana mo te iwi tana e tapae ai mona ake, hei whakahere mo nga hara.

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

E kore ano hoki tetahi e tango i tenei honore ki a ia ano, engari te tangata e karangatia ana e te Atua, e peratia ana me Arona.

And no man taketh this honour unto himself, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron.

Waihoki ko te Karaiti kahore ana whakanui i a ia hei tohunga nui; na tera ke i ki ra ki a ia, Ko koe taku Tama, nonaianei koe i whakatupuria ai e ahau.

So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee.

Pera hoki me tana i ki ai i tetahi atu wahi, Hei tohunga koe ake ake i runga i te ritenga o Merekihereke.

As he saith also in another place, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.

I nga ra o tona kikokiko, i tukua e ia he inoi, he karakia, i runga i te karangaranga kaha, i te roimata, ki te Mea kaha ki te whakaora i a ia i te mate, a whakarangona ana mona i wehi ki te Atua;

Who 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;

Ahakoa he Tama ia, i whakaakona ia ki te ngohengohe e ona mamae:

Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered;

A ka meinga nei ia kia tino rite, ka waiho ia hei take mo te ora tonu ki te hunga katoa e ngohengohe ana ki a ia;

And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;

He mea karanga na te Atua hei tohunga nui i runga i te ritenga o Merekihereke.

Called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec.

He maha nei a matou korero mo tenei, he uaua ki te whakamarama, he puhoi hoki no koutou ki te whakarongo.

Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing.

I te mea hoki ka tika kia waiho koutou hei kaiwhakaako no te mea ka roa nei, na me tuarua te whakaako i a koutou ki nga timatanga rawatanga o nga kupu a te Atua; me waiu hoki he kai ma koutou, kauaka te kai pakeke.

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

Ko nga tangata katoa hoki e kai ana i te waiu, he kuware ratou ki te kupu o te tika, he kohungahunga hoki.

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

Ma nga pakeke e tika ai te kai maro kua taungatia nei o ratou hinengaro e nga meatanga maha, e wehe ai i te pai, i te kino.

But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
