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 taken from among the people is appointed to represent the people in matters related to God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for 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 those who are ignorant and going astray, since he himself is subject to weakness.
3 Zato mora i za narod i za sebe prinositi okajnice.
That is why he is obligated to offer sacrifices for his own sins, as well as for the sins of the people.
4 I nitko sam sebi ne prisvaja tu čast, nego je prima od Boga, pozvan kao Aron.
No one takes this honor for himself, but receives it when 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,
In the same way, Christ did not glorify himself in becoming a high priest, but was appointed by the one who said to him, “Yoʋ are my Son; today I have begotten yoʋ.”
And in another passage he says, “Yoʋ are a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.” (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, Jesus offered up prayers and supplications, with loud cries and tears, to the one who was able to save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverence.
8 premda je Sin, iz onoga što prepati, naviknu slušati
Even though he was the Son, he learned obedience from what he suffered.
9 i, postigavši savršenstvo, posta svima koji ga slušaju začetnik vječnoga spasenja - (aiōnios g166)
And having been made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey him (aiōnios g166)
10 proglašen od Boga Velikim svećenikom po redu Melkisedekovu.
and was designated by God as a high priest according to the order of Melchizedek.
11 O tome nas čeka besjeda velika, ali teško ju je riječima izložiti jer ste tvrdih ušiju.
On this topic we have much to say, and it is hard to explain, since you have become sluggish in 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.
For though you ought to be teachers by this time, you need someone to teach you again the basic principles of the oracles of God. You need milk, not solid food.
13 Doista, tko je god još pri mlijeku, ne zna ništa o nauku pravednosti jer - nejače je.
Anyone who lives on milk is unacquainted with the teaching about righteousness, for he is 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 the mature, whose faculties have been trained by practice to distinguish between good and evil.
