1 Every high priest is appointed to help others by offering gifts and sacrifices to God because of their sins. 2 A high priest has weaknesses of his own, and he feels sorry for foolish and sinful people. 3 This is why he must offer sacrifices for his own sins and for the sins of others. 4 But no one can have the honor of being a high priest simply by wanting to be one. Only God can choose a priest, and God is the one who chose Aaron.
5 This is how it was with Christ. He became a high priest, but not just because he wanted the honor of being one. It was God who told him,
“You are my Son, because today
I have become your Father!”
6 In another place, God says,
“You are a priest forever
just like Melchizedek.”
7 God had the power to save Jesus from death. And while Jesus was on earth, he begged God with loud crying and tears to save him. He truly worshiped God, and God listened to his prayers. 8 Jesus is God's own Son, but still he had to suffer before he could learn what it really means to obey God. 9 Suffering made Jesus perfect, and now he can save forever all who obey him. 10 This is because God chose him to be a high priest like Melchizedek.
Warning against Turning Away
11 Much more could be said about this subject. But it is hard to explain, and all of you are slow to understand. 12 By now you should have been teachers, but once again you need to be taught the simplest things about what God has said. You need milk instead of solid food. 13 People who live on milk are like babies who don't really know what is right. 14 Solid food is for mature people who have been trained to know right from wrong.

1 Ikvīns augstais goreidznīks, kas nu ļaudim teik pajimts, dēļ ļaudim teik īcalts tamōs lītōs, kas atsateic uz Dīvu, lai jys upurātu par grākim dōvonas un upurus, 2 lai varātu leidzjust nazynōtōjim un nūsamaļdejušajim, jo arī pats ir vōjumim apjimts. 3 Tōdēļ jam jōupurej upurus kai par tautas grākim, tai arī par sovim. 4 Bet nivīns cyts nadreikst tō gūda sev pīsovynōt, kai tik tys, kas ir nu Dīva paaicynōts kai Aarons. 5 Tai arī Kristus augstō goreidznīka omota sev napajēme patvareigi, bet gon Jam tū īdeve Tys, kas Jam saceja: 6 Tu esi muns dāls, šudiņ Es Tevi asmu dzemdējis. Tai Jys soka arī kaidā cytā vītā: Tu esi prīsteris uz myužim pēc Melchizedecha īkōrtas.
7 Sovas vērszemes dzeives laikā, Jys syuteja lyugšonas un pīlyugšonas ar saukšonu un osorom Tam, kas Jū varēja izglōbt nu nōves un gūdbejeibas dēļ tyka izklauseits. 8 Lai gon Jys beja (Dīva) Dāls, tūmār cīsšonā mōcejōs pazeit paklauseibu. 9 Un sasnēdzis piļneibu Jys kliva visim, kas Jō klausa, myužeigōs pesteišonas cālūņs, 10 jo Dīvs Jū īcēle par augstū goreidznīku pēc Melchizedecha īkōrtas.
Jōsaceņš uz piļneibas sasnēgšonu.
11 Par šytū mums byutu vēļ daudz kas sokoms, bet gryuts ir izskaidrōt, jo klauseišonai jyus asot paguruši. 12 Laika dēļ gon jau jums vajadzātu byut par mōceitōjim, bet dīviškōs mōceibas pyrmajim pamatim vēļ jyusus pošus jōmōca, un jums vēļ pīns ir vajadzeigs, bet na cīta bareiba. 13 Un ikvīns, kas vēļ ar pīnu ir barojams, mōceibas par taisneibu nasaprūt, jo jys veļ ir navareigs. 14 Cītō bareiba ir dūdama piļneigajim, tys ir tim, kuru spējas ir īvyngrynōtas atškērt lobu nu ļauna.
