MODERN LITERAL VERSION

5:1 For* every high-priest, being taken from among men, is designated to act on behalf of men in things pertaining to God, that* he may offer both gifts and sacrifices on behalf of sins;
5:2 he who is able to moderate his emotions with the ignorant and the misled, since he himself is also encompassed by weakness;
5:3 and because of this weakness, he is obligated to offer sacrifices on behalf of sins concerning the people so also concerning himself.
5:4 And no one takes the honor for himself, but he who is called by God, just-as Aaron was.
5:5 So Christ also did not glorify himself to become a high-priest, but he who spoke to him, ‘You are my Son; I have fathered you* today.' {Ps. 2:7}
5:6 Just-as he also says in another passage, ‘You are a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.' {Ps. 110:4}
5:7 It is he who in the days of his flesh, has offered up prayers and supplications with a strong outcry and tears to him who was able to save him from death and having been heard for his piety.
5:8 Although being a Son, he learned obedience from the things which he suffered;
5:9 and having been perfected, he became the cause of everlasting salvation to all those who obey* him;
5:10 being addressed by God, as high-priest according to the order of Melchizedek.

5:11 Concerning whom we have many things to say and it is difficult to clarify, since you* have become sluggish in hearing.
5:12 For* indeed, because of the time, you* ought to be teachers by now, but you* again have need that someone teach you* the fundamental principles of the beginning oracles of God, and have become such as have need of milk and not of solid nourishment.
5:13 For* everyone who partakes of milk is inexperienced from the word of righteousness; for* he is an infant.
5:14 But solid nourishment is for mature men, those who have their senses exercised to the discerning of both good and evil because of habit.
