VaHebheru 5

¹Nokuti muPirisita mukuru mumwe nomumwe, wakatorwa kuvanhu, unogadzwa nokuda kwavanhu pazvinhu zvaMwari, kuti abayire zvipo nezvibayiro pamusoro pezvivi;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:

²iye unogona kunzwira tsitsi avo vasingazivi navakatsauka, nokuti naiye vo amene wakakomberedzwa novutera.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.

³Nemhaka iyo iye amene unofanira kuzvibayira pamusoro pezvivi zvake, sezvaanobayira zvavanhu.And by reason hereof he ought, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins.

⁴Hakuna munhu ungazvitorera basa iri rinokudzwa, asi kana achidanwa naMwari saiye Aroni.And no man taketh this honour unto himself, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron.

⁵Saizvozvo vo Kristu haana kuzvikudza iye, achiitwa muPirisita mukuru, asi wakakudzwa naiye, wakati kwaari; Ndiwe Mwanakomana wangu, Nhasi ndakubereka;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.

⁶Sezvaanorevavo paneimwe nzvimbo, achiti: Ndiwe MuPirisita nokusingaperi wegwara reimba yaMerkizedheki.As he saith also in another place, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.

⁷Iye, pamazuva enyama yake, wakavuya kunaiye wakanga achigona kumurwira parufu, neminyengetero nemikumbiro, achichema nokuchema kukuru nemisodzi, akanzwika nokuda kwokutya kwake Mwari;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;

⁸kunyange aiva Mwanakomana, wakadzidza kuterera nezvaakatambudzika;Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered;

⁹akati akwaniswa, akazova muvambi wokuponeswa kusingaperi kunavose vanomuterera;And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;

¹⁰akanzi naMwari MuPirisita mukuru wegwara reimba yaMekizedheki.Called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec.

¹¹Tinamashoko mazhinji atingataura pamusoro pake, anorema kududzira, zvamava vanhu vasichagoni kunzwisisa kwazvo.Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing.

¹²Nokuti, kunyange maifanira kuva vadzidzisi zvino, kana tichitarira nguva, mofanirazve kuti muve nomumwe unokudzidzisai zvidzidzo zvokutanga zvokuvamba kwezvirevo zvaMwari; mava vanhu vanofanira kupiwazve mukaka, vasingapiwi zvokudya zvikukutu.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.

¹³Nokuti mumwe nomumwe unodya mukaka haanzwisisi shoko rokururama, nokuti mucheche hake.For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.

¹⁴Asi zvokudya zvikukutu ndezvavakuru, vanokuziva kwakadzidziswa, nenzira yokurovedzwa, kuzivisisa zvakanaka nezvakaipa.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.
