OET (OET-LV) And not on_himself anyone is_taking the honour, but being_called by the god, just_as also Aʼarōn/(ʼAhₐron).
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
λαμβάνει τὴν τιμήν
/is/_taking the honor
Here, the word honor refers to the position that gives the person honor. This position is that of high priest. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea by referring to the position of high priest, if possible including the idea that this is an “honored” position. Alternate translation: “takes the honor of being a high priest”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
τὴν τιμήν
the honor
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of honor, you could express the idea by using an adjective such as “honorable.” Alternate translation: “becoming honorable in this way”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
ἀλλὰ
but
The author is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. If it would be helpful in your language, you could supply these words from the first half of the sentence. Alternate translation: “but he receives this honor only by”
Note 4 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
καλούμενος
/being/_called
Here, the phrase being called introduces something that could: (1) give the real reason why a person becomes a high priest. Alternate translation: “because he is called” (2) give the situation in which a person actually becomes a high priest. Alternate translation: “when he is called”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ἀλλὰ καλούμενος ὑπὸ τοῦ Θεοῦ, καθώσπερ καὶ Ἀαρών
but /being/_called by ¬the God just_as also Aaron
If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. The author uses the passive form here to focus on those who are called rather than on the person doing the calling. Alternate translation: “but only those whom God calls, just as he called Aaron”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
καθώσπερ καὶ Ἀαρών
just_as also Aaron
The author is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. If it would be helpful in your language, you could supply these words from the first half of the sentence. Alternate translation: “just as also Aaron was called by God”
Note 7 topic: translate-names
Ἀαρών
Aaron
The word
5:4 The role of high priest is by God’s appointment rather than human enlistment (see Exod 28:1; Lev 8:1-12; Num 16:1-26).

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
