1Ngokuba wonke umpristi omkhulu othathwa kubantu umiselwa abantu kokukaNkulunkulu, ukuze anikele izipho nemihlatshelo ngenxa yezono;
2Ongaba nesihawu kwabangazi nakwabadukayo; ngokuba naye uqobo uzungezwe ubuthakathaka.
3Ngakho ngenxa yalokhu ufanele ukuthi, njengalokhu enikela ngezono zabantu, ngokunjalo laye ngokwakhe.
4Akakho ozithathela lolu dumo, kuphela obizwe nguNkulunkulu njengo-Aroni.
5Kanjalo noKristu akazikhazimulisanga yena ukuba abe ngumpristi omkhulu; kodwa owathi kuye: Wena uyiNdodana yami, lamuhla ngikuzele.
6njengoba esho nakwenye indawo ukuthi: Wena ungumpristi kuze kube phakade ngokokuma kukaMelkisedeki.
7Owathi emihleni yenyama yakhe, lapho enikele imikhuleko nokunxusa ngokukhala okunamandla nezinyembezi kuye onamandla okumsindisa ekufeni, wezwiwa ngokwesaba kwakhe;
8Noma ebeyiNdodana, wafunda ukulalela ngalokho ahlupheka ngakho;
9futhi esephelelisiwe, waba yinhloko yensindiso ephakade kubo bonke abamlalelayo;
10ebizwa ngokuthi nguNkulunkulu umpristi omkhulu ngokokuma kukaMelkisedeki.
11Sinokuningi esingakusho ngaye, okunzima ukukukhulumela, lokhu nina niba buthuntu ekuzweni.
12Ngokuba nakuba benifanele ukuba ngabafundisi, kuze kube manje, nisadinga futhi ukuba kube khona onifundisa iziqalo zamazwi kaNkulunkulu; seniba njengabadinga ubisi, hhayi okokudla okuqinileyo.
13Ngokuba yilowo nalowo odla ubisi akahlakaniphile izwi lokulunga, ngokuba uyingane.
14Kodwa ukudla okuqinileyo kungokwabakhulileyo, labo abathi ngokujwayela ukuzwisisa, sebekufundise ukuhlukanisa okuhle lokubi.
