Hebrews 12
1 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off every encumbrance and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with endurance the race set out for us.
Zato tudi mi torej, ker imamo tako silo prič okrog sebe, vrzimo raz sebe vsako breme in greh, ki nas lahko obdá, ter prebimo v stanovitnosti naloženi nam boj;
2 Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Ozirajoč se v začetnika in izpolnjevalca vere Jezusa, kateri je za namenjeno mu veselje križ pretrpel, ne meneč se za sramoto in sedel na desnico Božjega prestola.
3 Consider Him who endured such hostility from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.
Pomislite namreč njega, ki je toliko prestal od grešnikov nasprotovanja proti sebi, da ne omagata pešajoč v dušah svojih.
4 In your struggle against sin, you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood.
Še niste do krvi ustavljali se v boji z grehom,
5 And you have forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as sons: “My son, do not take lightly the discipline of the Lord, and do not lose heart when He rebukes you.
In pozabili ste tolažbe, katera z vami kakor sè sinovi govori: "Sin moj, ne puščaj v nemar pokore Gospodove, in ne omaguj, ko te kara.
6 For the Lord disciplines the one He loves, and He chastises every son He receives.”
Kogar namreč ljubi, pokori Gospod, in šiba vsakega sina, kateri mu je po volji."
7 Endure suffering as discipline; God is treating you as sons. For what son is not disciplined by his father?
Ako trpite pokoro, kaže se vam Bog kakor otrokom; kajti kje je sin, katerega ne pokori oče?
8 If you do not experience discipline like everyone else, then you are illegitimate children and not true sons.
Ako ste pa brez pokore, katere so deležni postali vsi, torej ste nezakonski otroci in ne sinovi.
9 Furthermore, we have all had earthly fathers who disciplined us, and we respected them. Should we not much more submit to the Father of our spirits and live?
Dalje: mesa svojega očete smo imeli za pokoritelje in bali smo se jih, ali ne bodemo mnogo bolj podložni očetu duhov ter živeli?
10 Our fathers disciplined us for a short time as they thought best, but God disciplines us for our good, so that we may share in His holiness.
Kajti oni so nas pokorili za malo dnî, kakor se jim je ljubilo, tá pa v korist, da bodemo deležni svetosti njegove.
11 No discipline seems enjoyable at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it yields a harvest of righteousness and peace to those who have been trained by it.
Vsaka pokora pa se za sedaj ne zdí prijetna, nego da boli, pozneje pa daje njim, ki jih je vadila, miropolni sad pravice.
12 Therefore strengthen your limp hands and weak knees.
Zato dvignite omahujoče roke in šibeča se kolena,"
13 Make straight paths for your feet, so that the lame may not be disabled, but rather healed.
In "ravne tire delajte sè svojimi nogami," da se hromo ne izključi, nego ozdravi.
14 Pursue peace with everyone, as well as holiness, without which no one will see the Lord.
Iščite mirú z vsemi, in posvečevanja, brez katerega nihče ne bode videl Gospoda;
15 See to it that no one falls short of the grace of God, and that no root of bitterness springs up to cause trouble and defile many.
Pazite, da kdo ne zaostane za milostjo Božjo, da ne požene kaka bridkosti korenina in ne dela napotja, in jih mnogo ne oskruni;
16 See to it that no one is sexually immoral, or is godless like Esau, who for a single meal sold his birthright.
Da ne bode kdo kurbir ali posvetnjak kakor Ezav, kateri je za eno jed prodal prvorojenstvo svoje;
17 For you know that afterward, when he wanted to inherit the blessing, he was rejected. He could find no ground for repentance, though he sought the blessing with tears.
Kajti veste, da je tudi, ko je pozneje hotel zadobiti blagoslov, zavržen bil; kajti kosanju ni našel mesta, da si ga je sè solzami iskal.
18 For you have not come to a mountain that can be touched and that is burning with fire; to darkness, gloom, and storm;
Kajti pristopili niste k dotakljivi gori in z ognjem goreči in oblačju in temi in nevihti,
19 to a trumpet blast or to a voice that made its hearers beg that no further word be spoken.
In trombe donenju in glasu beséd, katerega poslušalci so se branili, da se jim pridene beseda;
20 For they could not bear what was commanded: “If even an animal touches the mountain, it must be stoned.”
(Niso namreč prenašali ukaza. "Če se tudi žival dotakne gore, bode kamenjena ali sè strelo pobita".
21 The sight was so terrifying that even Moses said, “I am trembling with fear.”
In, tako strašna je bila prikazen, Mojzes je rekel: V strahu sem in trepetu; )
22 Instead, you have come to Mount Zion, to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem. You have come to myriads of angels
Temuč pristopili ste h gori Sijonski in mestu Boga živega, Jeruzalemu nebeškemu, in mirijadam angelov,
23 in joyful assembly, to the congregation of the firstborn, enrolled in heaven. You have come to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of the righteous made perfect,
Zboru in občini prvorojencev v nebesih zapisanih, in Bogu vseh sodniku, in duhovom pravičnih zveličanih,
24 to Jesus the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel.
In nove zaveze sredniku Jezusu, in krvi pokropljenja, boljše govoreči mimo Abelna.
25 See to it that you do not refuse Him who speaks. For if the people did not escape when they refused Him who warned them on earth, how much less will we escape if we reject Him who warns us from heaven?
Glejte, da se ne branite govorečega; če namreč oni niso ubežali, kateri so branili se ukazujočega na zemlji, veliko menj mi, ki se obračamo od njega, kateri je z nebes.
26 At that time His voice shook the earth, but now He has promised, “Once more I will shake not only the earth, but heaven as well.”
Glas njegov je zemljo potresel tedaj, sedaj pa je obljubil govoreč: "Še enkrat stresam jaz ne samo zemlje, nego tudi nebo".
27 The words “Once more” signify the removal of what can be shaken—that is, created things—so that the unshakable may remain.
Tisto: "še enkrat" pomeni premembo tistega, kar je bilo potreseno, kakor kaj narejenega; da ostane kar je nepotreseno.
28 Therefore, since we are receiving an unshakable kingdom, let us be filled with gratitude, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe.
Zato, prejemši kraljestvo nepotresno, imejmo hvaležnost, po kateri služimo po volji Bogu sè svetim strahom in grozo;
29 “For our God is a consuming fire.”
Kajti tudi "Bog naš je ogenj, ki pali".
