Hebrews 5

1 Wonke umphristi omkhulu ukhethwa ebantwini abekwe ukuba abamele ezindabeni ezimayelana loNkulunkulu, ukunikela izipho lemihlatshelo yezono.

2 Ulakho ukubaphatha ngesineke labo abangaziyo abadukayo, njengoba laye uqobo ephethwe yikuba buthakathaka.

3 Yikho nje kumele anikele imihlatshelo yezono zakhe, kanye leyezono zabantu.

4 Kakho ozethesa udumo lolu phezu kwakhe; kumele abizwe nguNkulunkulu, njengo-Aroni.

5 Ngakho loKhristu kazethesanga udumo lokuba ngumphristi omkhulu. Kodwa uNkulunkulu wathi kuye, “Wena uyiNdodana yami; lamhla sengibe nguYihlo.”

6 Njalo kwenye indawo uthi, “Wena ungumphristi nini lanini, emkhondweni kaMelikhizedekhi.”

7 Ngezinsuku zokuphila kukaJesu emhlabeni, wakhuleka wacela ngokukhala kakhulu langezinyembezi kuye lowo owayengamsindisa ekufeni, njalo wezwakala ngenxa yokuzehlisa kwakhe okuhloniphekayo. 8 Lanxa wayeyindodana wafunda ukulalela kulokhu ahlupheka ngakho,

9 kwathi lapho esephelelisiwe, waba ngumthombo wokusindiswa okulaphakade wabo bonke abamlalelayo 10 wasekhethwa nguNkulunkulu ukuba abe ngumphristi omkhulu, emkhondweni kaMelikhizedekhi.

Isixwayiso ngokuhlubuka

11 Kunengi esingakutsho ngalokho, kodwa kunzima ukuchaza ngoba liyaphuza ukufunda.

12 Ngeqiniso, lanxa ngalesi isikhathi lifanele ukuba ngabafundisayo, liswela omunye ukuba alifundise njalo amaqiniso okuqala elizwi likaNkulunkulu. Lifuna uchago, hatshi ukudla okuqinileyo! 13 Lowo ophila ngochago, elokhu elusane, kayazi imfundiso emayelana lokulunga.

14 Kodwa ukudla okuqinileyo ngokwabakhulileyo asebazifundisa ukwehlukanisa okuhle kokubi.
