Židům 5
1 Všeliký zajisté nejvyšší kněz z lidu vzatý za lidi bývá postaven v jednání s Bohem, totiž aby obětoval i dary i oběti za hříchy,
Every high priest, taken from among the people, is appointed as their representative in their relations with God, to offer both gifts and sacrifices in expiation of sins.
2 Kterýž by mohl, jakž sluší, lítost míti nad neznajícími a bloudícími, jsa i sám obklíčen nemocí.
And he is able to sympathise with the ignorant and deluded, since he is himself subject to weakness,
3 A pro ni povinen jest, jakož za lid, tak i za sebe samého obětovati za hříchy.
and is therefore bound to offer sacrifices for sins, not only for the people, but equally so for himself.
4 A aniž kdo sobě sám té cti osobuje, ale ten, kterýž by byl povolán od Boha, jako i Aron.
Nor does anyone take that high office on themselves, until they have been called to do so by God, as Aaron was.
5 Tak i Kristus ne sám sobě té cti osobil, aby byl nejvyšším knězem, ale ten, kterýž řekl jemu: Syn můj jsi ty, já dnes zplodil jsem tebe.
In the same way, even the Christ did not take the honour of the high priesthood on himself, but he was appointed by him who said to him – “You are my Son; this day I have become your Father”;
and on another occasion also – “You are a priest for all time of the order of Melchizedek.” (aiōn g165)
7 Kterýž za dnů těla svého modlitby a ponížené prosby k tomu, kterýž ho mohl zachovati od smrti, s křikem velikým a slzami obětoval, a vyslyšán jest v tom strachu.
Jesus, in the days of his earthly life, offered prayers and supplications, with earnest cries and with tears, to him who was able to save him from death; and he was heard because of his devout submission.
8 A ačkoli byl Syn Boží, z toho však, což strpěl, naučil se poslušenství.
Son though he was, he learned obedience from his sufferings;
and, being made perfect, he became to all those who obey him the source of eternal salvation, (aiōnios g166)
10 Nazván jsa od Boha nejvyšším knězem podlé řádu Melchisedechova.
while God himself pronounced him a high priest of the order of Melchizedek.
11 O kterémž mnoho by se mělo mluviti, a to nesnadných věci k vypravení, ale vy jste nezpůsobných uší.
Now on this subject I have much to say, but it is difficult to explain it to you, because you have shown yourselves so slow to learn.
12 Nebo měvše býti v tak dlouhém času mistři, opět potřebujete učeni býti prvním počátkům výmluvností Božích, a učiněni jste mléka potřebující, a ne pokrmu hrubšího.
For whereas, considering the time that has elapsed, you ought to be teaching others, you still need someone to teach you the alphabet of the divine revelation, and need again to be fed with milk instead of with “solid food.”
13 Kdožkoli zajisté mléka se drží, nechápá slova spravedlnosti; (nebo nemluvně jest.)
For everyone who still has to take milk knows nothing of the teaching of righteousness; they are a mere infant.
14 Ale dokonalých jest hrubý pokrm, totiž těch, kteříž pro zvyklost mají smysly způsobné k rozeznání dobrého i zlého.
But solid food is for Christians of mature faith – those whose faculties have been trained by practice to distinguish right from wrong.
