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, being taken from among men, is appointed for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins.
2 On može primjereno suosjećati s onima koji su u neznanju i zabludi jer je i sam zaogrnut slabošću.
The high priest can deal gently with those who are ignorant and going astray, because he himself is also surrounded with weakness.
3 Zato mora i za narod i za sebe prinositi okajnice.
Because of this, he must offer sacrifices for sins for the people, as well as for himself.
4 I nitko sam sebi ne prisvaja tu čast, nego je prima od Boga, pozvan kao Aron.
Nobody takes this honor on himself, but he is called by God, just like 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 also Christ didn’t glorify himself to be made a high priest, but it was he who said to him, “You are my Son. Today I have become your father.”
As he says also in another place, “You are a priest forever, after 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:
He, in the days of his flesh, having offered up prayers and petitions with strong crying and tears to him who was able to save him from death, and having been heard for his godly fear,
8 premda je Sin, iz onoga što prepati, naviknu slušati
though he was a Son, yet learned obedience by the things which he suffered.
9 i, postigavši savršenstvo, posta svima koji ga slušaju začetnik vječnoga spasenja - (aiōnios g166)
Having been made perfect, he became to all of those who obey him the author of eternal salvation, (aiōnios g166)
10 proglašen od Boga Velikim svećenikom po redu Melkisedekovu.
named by God a high priest after the order of Melchizedek.
11 O tome nas čeka besjeda velika, ali teško ju je riječima izložiti jer ste tvrdih ušiju.
About him we have many words to say, and hard to interpret, seeing you have become 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.
For although by this time you should be teachers, you again need to have someone teach you the rudiments of the first principles of the revelations of God. You have come to need milk, and not solid food.
13 Doista, tko je god još pri mlijeku, ne zna ništa o nauku pravednosti jer - nejače je.
For everyone who lives on milk is not experienced in the word of righteousness, for he is a baby.
14 A za zrele je tvrda hrana, za one koji imaju iskustvom izvježbana čula za rasuđivanje dobra i zla.
But solid food is for those who are full grown, who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern good and evil.
