Jevrejima 8
1 A glavno u ovom izlaganju jest: takva imamo Velikog svećenika koji sjede zdesna prijestolja Veličanstva na nebesima
The point of what we are saying is this: We do have such a high priest, who sat down at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven,
2 kao bogoslužnik Svetinje i Šatora istinskoga što ga podiže Gospodin, a ne čovjek.
and who ministers in the sanctuary and true tabernacle set up by the Lord, not by man.
3 Doista, svaki se veliki svećenik postavlja da prinosi darove i žrtve. Odatle je potrebno da i on ima što bi prinio.
And since every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices, it was necessary for this One also to have something to offer.
4 Svakako, da je na zemlji, ne bi bio svećenik jer postoje oni koji po Zakonu prinose darove.
Now if He were on earth, He would not be a priest, since there are already priests who offer gifts according to the law.
5 Oni služe slici i sjeni onoga nebeskoga, kako je upućen Mojsije kad se spremao praviti šator: Pazi, veli doista, načini sve po praliku koji ti je pokazan na brdu.
The place where they serve is a copy and shadow of what is in heaven. This is why Moses was warned when he was about to build the tabernacle: “See to it that you make everything according to the pattern shown you on the mountain.”
6 Ovako mu pak dopalo uzvišenije bogosluženje koliko je Posrednik boljega Saveza, koji je uzakonjen na boljim obećanjima.
Now, however, Jesus has received a much more excellent ministry, just as the covenant He mediates is better and is founded on better promises.
7 Da je, zbilja, onaj prvi bio besprijekoran, ne bi se drugome tražilo mjesto.
For if that first covenant had been without fault, no place would have been sought for a second.
8 Doista, kudeći ih veli: Evo dolaze dani - govori Gospodin - kad ću s domom Izraelovim i s domom Judinim dovršiti novi Savez.
But God found fault with the people and said: “Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah.
9 Ne Savez kakav učinih s ocima njihovim u dan kad ih uzeh za ruku da ih izvedem iz zemlje egipatske jer oni ne ustrajaše u mom Savezu pa i ja zanemarih njih - govori Gospodin.
It will not be like the covenant I made with their fathers when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt, because they did not abide by My covenant, and I disregarded them,
10 Nego, ovo je Savez kojim ću se svezati s domom Izraelovim nakon ovih dana - govori Gospodin: Zakone ću svoje staviti u dušu njihovu i upisati ih u njihova srca. I bit ću Bog njihov, a oni narod moj.
For this is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord. I will put My laws in their minds and inscribe them on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they will be My people.
11 I neće više nitko učiti sugrađanina i nitko brata svoga govoreći: “Spoznaj Gospodina”, ta svi će me poznavati, malo i veliko,
No longer will each one teach his neighbor or his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ because they will all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest.
12 jer ću se smilovati bezakonjima njihovim i grijeha se njihovih neću više spominjati.
For I will forgive their iniquities and will remember their sins no more.”
13 Kad veli novi, ostari onaj prvi. Što pak stÓari i dotrajava, blizu je nestanku.
By speaking of a new covenant, He has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and aging will soon disappear.
