| Vers | Amharic NT | English: King James Version |
| 1 | ሊቀ ካህናት ሁሉ ስለ ኃጢአት መባንና መስዋዕትን ሊያቀርብ ከሰው ተመርጦ ለእግዚአብሔር በሆነው ነገር ሁሉ ስለ ሰው ይሾማልና፤ | 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: |
| 2 | እርሱ ራሱም ደግሞ ድካምን ስለሚለብስ፥ ላልተማሩትና ለሚስቱት ሊራራላቸው ይችላል፤ | 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. |
| 3 | በዚህም ምክንያት ስለ ሕዝብ እንደሚያቀርብ እንዲሁ ስለ ራሱ ደግሞ መስዋዕትን ስለ ኃጢአት ሊያቀርብ ይገባዋል። | And by reason hereof he ought, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins. |
| 4 | እንደ አሮንም በእግዚአብሔር ከተጠራ በቀር ማንም ክብሩን ለራሱ የሚወስድ የለም። | And no man taketh this honour unto himself, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron. |
| 5 | እንዲሁ ክርስቶስ ደግሞ ሊቀ ካህናት ሊሆን ራሱን አላከበረም ነገር ግን። አንተ ልጄ ነህ እኔ ዛሬ ወልጄሃለሁ ያለው እርሱ ነው፤ | 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. |
| 6 | እንደዚህም በሌላ ስፍራ ደግሞ። አንተ እንደ መልከ ጼዴቅ ሹመት ለዘላለም ካህን ነህ ይላል። | As he saith also in another place, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec. |
| 7 | እርሱም በስጋው ወራት ከሞት ሊያድነው ወደሚችል ከብርቱ ጩኸትና ከእንባ ጋር ጸሎትንና ምልጃን አቀረበ፥ እግዚአብሔርንም ስለ መፍራቱ ተሰማለት፤ | 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; |
| 8 | ምንም ልጅ ቢሆን፥ ከተቀበለው መከራ መታዘዝን ተማረ፤ | Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered; |
| 9 | ከተፈጸመም በኋላ በእግዚአብሔር እንደ መልከ ጼዴቅ ሹመት ሊቀ ካህናት ተብሎ ስለ ተጠራ፥ ለሚታዘዙለት ሁሉ የዘላለም መዳን ምክንያት ሆነላቸው። | And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him; |
| 11 | ስለ እርሱም የምንናገረው ብዙ ነገር አለን፥ ጆሮቻችሁም ስለ ፈዘዙ በቃል ልንተረጕመው ጭንቅ ነው። | Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing. |
| 12 | ከጊዜው የተነሳ አስተማሪዎች ልትሆኑ ሲገባችሁ፥ አንድ ሰው ስለ እግዚአብሔር ቃላት መጀመሪያ ያለውን የሕፃንነትን ትምህርት እንዲያስተምራችሁ እንደ ገና ያስፈልጋችኋልና፤ የሚያስፈልጋችሁም ወተት ነው እንጂ ጠንካራ ምግብ አይደለም። | 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. |
| 13 | ወተት የሚጋት ሁሉ ሕፃን ስለ ሆነ የጽድቅን ቃል አያውቅምና፤ | For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. |
| 14 | ጠንካራ ምግብ ግን መልካሙንና ክፉውን ለመለየት በስራቸው የለመደ ልቡና ላላቸው ለፍጹማን ሰዎች ነው። | 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. |
| 10 | Called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec. |
