Jevrejima 8
1 A glavno u ovom izlaganju jest: takva imamo Velikog svećenika koji sjede zdesna prijestolja Veličanstva na nebesima
Now the main point of what we are saying is this: We have such a high priest, who sat down at the right hand of the Majesty's throne in heaven,
2 kao bogoslužnik Svetinje i Šatora istinskoga što ga podiže Gospodin, a ne čovjek.
where he serves as a minister of the holy places and the true tabernacle, which was 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.
For every high priest is appointed to offer gifts and sacrifices; therefore, it was necessary for this priest also to have something to offer.
4 Svakako, da je na zemlji, ne bi bio svećenik jer postoje oni koji po Zakonu prinose darove.
For if he were on earth, he would not even 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.
They serve a copy and shadow of the heavenly things. For when Moses was about to build the tabernacle, he was warned by God, “Be sure to make everything according to the pattern that was shown to yoʋ on the mountain.”
6 Ovako mu pak dopalo uzvišenije bogosluženje koliko je Posrednik boljega Saveza, koji je uzakonjen na boljim obećanjima.
But as it is, the ministry Jesus has received is as superior to the old priesthood as the covenant he mediates is superior to the old covenant, since it has been enacted on better promises.
7 Da je, zbilja, onaj prvi bio besprijekoran, ne bi se drugome tražilo mjesto.
For if that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no need to look for a second one.
8 Doista, kudeći ih veli: Evo dolaze dani - govori Gospodin - kad ću s domom Izraelovim i s domom Judinim dovršiti novi Savez.
But finding fault with it, God says to the people, “Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will establish 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.
not like the covenant I made with their fathers on the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt. For they did not continue in my covenant, so I had no regard for them, says the Lord.
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, says the Lord: I will put my laws into their minds and write them on their hearts. 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 a man teach his fellow citizen or his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for 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 be merciful toward their iniquities; their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.”
13 Kad veli novi, ostari onaj prvi. Što pak stÓari i dotrajava, blizu je nestanku.
In speaking of “a new covenant,” he has made the first one obsolete. And what is becoming obsolete and growing old will soon disappear.
