Jevrejima 4
1 Bojmo se dakle da se, dok ostaje obećanje o ulasku u njegov Počinak, za koga od vas ne bi utvrdilo kako je zakasnio.
Therefore we should fear, since a promise of entering His rest still stands, lest any one of you should expect to have come short of it.
2 Jer nama je naviještena blagovijest kao i njima, ali njima Riječ poruke nije uskoristila jer se vjerom nisu pridružili onima koji su poslušali.
Really, because we are continually hearing Good News just like they did, but the word that they heard did not profit them, since they were not intimately united with the faith of those who obeyed.
3 U Počinak doista ulazimo mi koji povjerovasmo, prema onom što je rekao: Tako se zakleh u svom gnjevu: Nikad neće ući u moj počinak, premda su djela od postanka svijeta dovršena.
Now we who have believed do enter that rest, just as He has said, “So I took an oath in my wrath, ‘As if they will ever enter my rest!’”—His works were certainly finished from the foundation of the world,
4 Rekao je doista negdje o sedmom danu ovako: I počinu Bog sedmoga dana od svih djela svojih.
because somewhere He has spoken about the seventh day like this, “And on the seventh day God rested from all His works,”
5 A ovdje opet: Nikad neće ući u moj počinak.
while again, in this place, “As if they will ever enter my rest!”
6 Preostaje dakle da neki imaju u nj ući, a oni koji su prvi primili blagovijest ne uđoše zbog nepokornosti.
Therefore since it remains for some to enter into it, and those who formerly had the Good News proclaimed to them did not enter because of disobedience,
7 Zato Bog ponovno određuje jedan dan, Danas, u Davidu nakon toliko vremena govoreći, kako je već rečeno: Danas ako glas mu čujete, ne budite srca tvrda.
He again designates a certain day, after such a long time, saying through David: “Today” (as was stated above), “Today, if you would hear His voice, do not harden your hearts.”
8 Zbilja, da je Jošua njih u Počinak uveo, ne bi Bog nakon toga govorio o drugome danu.
Because if Jesus had given them rest, He would not have spoken afterward of another day.
9 Dakle: preostaje neki subotni počinak narodu Božjemu!
So then, there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God.
10 Zaista, tko uđe u njegov počinak, počinuo je od djela svojih kao ono i Bog od svojih.
Further, the one having entered into His rest has himself also rested from his own works, just as God did from His.
11 Pohitimo dakle ući u taj Počinak da nitko ne padne po uzoru na takvu nepokornost.
Therefore, let us take pains to enter into that rest so that no one may fall through the same pattern of disobedience.
12 Živa je, uistinu, Riječ Božja i djelotvorna; oštrija je od svakoga dvosjekla mača; prodire dotle da dijeli dušu i duh, zglobove i moždinu te prosuđuje nakane i misli srca.
Because the Word of God is living and efficient, and sharper than any two-edged sword, actually penetrating to the point of separating soul and spirit, joints and marrow; in fact, it is able to evaluate a heart's reflections and intentions.
13 Nema stvorenja njoj skrivena. Sve je, naprotiv, golo i razgoljeno očima Onoga komu nam je dati račun.
Nothing in all creation is hidden from His sight; rather all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.
14 Imajući dakle velikoga Velikog svećenika koji prodrije kroz nebesa - Isusa, Sina Božjega - čvrsto se držimo vjere.
Therefore, since we have a Great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast the Confession.
15 Ta nemamo takva Velikog svećenika koji ne bi mogao biti supatnik u našim slabostima, nego poput nas iskušavana svime, osim grijehom.
For we do not have a High Priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but He was tested in all points, in similar ways, without sin.
16 Pristupajmo dakle smjelo Prijestolju milosti da primimo milosrđe i milost nađemo za pomoć u pravi čas!
So let us approach the throne of grace with confidence, that we may receive mercy and find grace, for timely help.
