Hebrews 5
1 Every high priest is appointed from among men to represent them in matters relating to God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins.
Svaki veliki svećenik, zaista, od ljudi uzet, za ljude se postavlja u odnosu prema Bogu da prinosi darove i žrtve za grijehe.
2 He is able to deal gently with those who are ignorant and misguided, since he himself is beset by weakness.
On može primjereno suosjećati s onima koji su u neznanju i zabludi jer je i sam zaogrnut slabošću.
3 That is why he is obligated to offer sacrifices for his own sins, as well as for the sins of the people.
Zato mora i za narod i za sebe prinositi okajnice.
4 No one takes this honor upon himself; he must be called by God, just as Aaron was.
I nitko sam sebi ne prisvaja tu čast, nego je prima od Boga, pozvan kao Aron.
5 So also Christ did not take upon Himself the glory of becoming a high priest, but He was called by the One who said to Him: “You are My Son; today I have become Your Father.”
Tako i Krist ne proslavi sam sebe postavši svećenik, nego ga proslavi Onaj koji mu reče: Ti si sin moj, danas te rodih,
6 And in another passage God says: “You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.” (aiōn g165)
po onome što pak drugdje veli: Zauvijek ti si svećenik po redu Melkisedekovu. (aiōn g165)
7 During the days of Jesus’ earthly life, He offered up prayers and petitions with loud cries and tears to the One who could save Him from death, and He was heard because of His reverence.
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:
8 Although He was a Son, He learned obedience from what He suffered.
premda je Sin, iz onoga što prepati, naviknu slušati
9 And having been made perfect, He became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey Him (aiōnios g166)
i, postigavši savršenstvo, posta svima koji ga slušaju začetnik vječnoga spasenja - (aiōnios g166)
10 and was designated by God as high priest in the order of Melchizedek.
proglašen od Boga Velikim svećenikom po redu Melkisedekovu.
11 We have much to say about this, but it is hard to explain, because you are dull of hearing.
O tome nas čeka besjeda velika, ali teško ju je riječima izložiti jer ste tvrdih ušiju.
12 Although by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to reteach you the basic principles of God’s word. You need milk, not solid food!
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.
13 For everyone who lives on milk is still an infant, inexperienced in the message of righteousness.
Doista, tko je god još pri mlijeku, ne zna ništa o nauku pravednosti jer - nejače je.
14 But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained their senses to distinguish good from evil.
A za zrele je tvrda hrana, za one koji imaju iskustvom izvježbana čula za rasuđivanje dobra i zla.
