Jevrejima 5
1 Svaki veliki svećenik, zaista, od ljudi uzet, za ljude se postavlja u odnosu prema Bogu da prinosi darove i žrtve za grijehe.
For every high priest chosen from time to time from among men is appointed on behalf of men, in matters relating to God, to offer both gifts and sacrifices on behalf of sins.
2 On može primjereno suosjećati s onima koji su u neznanju i zabludi jer je i sam zaogrnut slabošću.
He is able to deal gently with the ignorant and erring, since he himself also is encompassed with moral weakness,
3 Zato mora i za narod i za sebe prinositi okajnice.
and because of this weakness he is bound to offer sin-offerings not only for the people, but also for himself.
4 I nitko sam sebi ne prisvaja tu čast, nego je prima od Boga, pozvan kao Aron.
Again no one takes this honorable office for himself, but he is called by God, just as Aaron was.
5 Tako i Krist ne proslavi sam sebe postavši svećenik, nego ga proslavi Onaj koji mu reče: Ti si sin moj, danas te rodih,
So even the Christ was not raised to the high glory of the priesthood by himself, but on the contrary by Him who said to him. Thou art my Son; this day have I become thy Father;
and again, Thou art a priest forever, after the order of Melchisedek. (aiōn g165)
7 On je u dane svoga zemaljskog života sa silnim vapajem i suzama prikazivao molitve i prošnje Onomu koji ga je mogao spasiti od smrti. I bi uslišan zbog svoje predanosti:
In the days of his flesh, with better cries and weeping Jesus offered up prayers and supplications to Him who was able to save him out of death; and he was heard because of his devout submission.
8 premda je Sin, iz onoga što prepati, naviknu slušati
Though he was a son, yet learned he obedience through the things which he suffered;
9 i, postigavši savršenstvo, posta svima koji ga slušaju začetnik vječnoga spasenja - (aiōnios g166)
and by being thus made perfect, he became the source of enduring salvation to all who obey him, (aiōnios g166)
10 proglašen od Boga Velikim svećenikom po redu Melkisedekovu.
while God himself pronounced him High Priest according to the order of Melchisedek.
11 O tome nas čeka besjeda velika, ali teško ju je riječima izložiti jer ste tvrdih ušiju.
Concerning him I have much to say, and much that is hard to make clear to you, because you have grown dull of hearing.
12 Pa trebalo bi doista da nakon toliko vremena već budete učitelji, a ono treba da tkogod vas ponovno poučava početnička počela kazivanja Božjih. Takvi ste: mlijeka vam treba, a ne tvrde hrane.
And this too, although you ought by this time to be teaching others, you are still needing some one to teach you the very rudiments of divine revelation. You need milk, not solid food.
13 Doista, tko je god još pri mlijeku, ne zna ništa o nauku pravednosti jer - nejače je.
For every one who feeds on milk is inexperienced in the word of righteousness. He is still an infant.
14 A za zrele je tvrda hrana, za one koji imaju iskustvom izvježbana čula za rasuđivanje dobra i zla.
But solid food is for adults, that is, for those who by constant practise have their faculties trained to discriminate between good and evil.
