Hebrews 7
1 For this Melchisedec, King of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from smiting the kings, and blessed him;
Kajti ta Melkízedek, kralj v Salemu, duhovnik najvišjega Boga, ki je srečal Abrahama, ko se je ta vračal iz poboja kraljev in ga blagoslovil;
2 to whom Abraham gave also the tenth portion of all; first being interpreted King of righteousness, and then also King of Salem, which is King of peace;
ki mu je tudi Abraham dal desetino od vsega; najprej pomeni Kralj pravičnosti in nató tudi Kralj Salema, kar je Kralj miru;
3 without father, without mother, without genealogy; having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but assimilated to the Son of God, abides a priest continually.
brez očeta, brez matere, brez porekla niti nima začetka dni niti konca življenja, toda narejen podoben Božjemu Sinu trajno ostaja duhovnik.
4 Now consider how great this [personage] was, to whom [even] the patriarch Abraham gave a tenth out of the spoils.
Torej preudarite, kako velik je bil ta mož, ki mu je celó očak Abraham dal desetino od plenov.
5 And they indeed from among the sons of Levi, who receive the priesthood, have commandment to take tithes from the people according to the law, that is from their brethren, though these are come out of the loins of Abraham:
In resnično imajo tisti, ki so iz Lévijevih sinov, ki prejemajo službo duhovništva, zapoved, naj glede na postavo od ljudi pobirajo desetine, to je, od svojih bratov, čeprav so izšli iz Abrahamovih ledij;
6 but he who has no genealogy from them has tithed Abraham, and blessed him who had the promises.
toda on, katerega poreklo ni šteto od njih, je prejel Abrahamove desetine in blagoslovil tistega, ki je imel obljube.
7 But beyond all gainsaying, the inferior is blessed by the better.
In brez vseh ugovarjanj je manjše blagoslovljeno od boljšega.
8 And here dying men receive tithes; but there [one] of whom the witness is that he lives;
In tukaj prejemajo desetine ljudje, ki umirajo, toda tam jih prejema on, o katerem je pričevano, da živi.
9 and, so to speak, through Abraham, Levi also, who received tithes, has been made to pay tithes.
In tako lahko potemtakem rečem: »Tudi Levi, ki prejema desetine, je plačal desetine po Abrahamu.«
10 For he was yet in the loins of his father when Melchisedec met him.
Kajti bil je še v ledjih svojega očeta, ko ga je srečal Melkízedek.
11 If indeed then perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, for the people had their law given to them in connexion with it, what need [was there] still that a different priest should arise according to the order of Melchisedec, and not be named after the order of Aaron?
Če je bila torej popolnost po Lévijevem duhovništvu (kajti pod njim so ljudje prejeli postavo), kakšna je bila nadaljnja potreba, da bi nastopil drug duhovnik po Melkízedekovem redu in ne bi bil imenovan po Aronovem redu?
12 For, the priesthood being changed, there takes place of necessity a change of law also.
Kajti zaradi spremembe duhovništva je storjena tudi potreba po spremembi postave.
13 For he, of whom these things are said, belongs to a different tribe, of which no one has [ever] been attached to the service of the altar.
Kajti on, o katerem se govorijo te stvari, pripada drugemu rodu, od katerega noben človek ni daroval prisotnost pri oltarju.
14 For it is clear that our Lord has sprung out of Juda, as to which tribe Moses spake nothing as to priests.
Kajti očitno je, da naš Gospod izvira iz Juda, iz rodu, o katerem glede duhovništva Mojzes ni ničesar rekel.
15 And it is yet more abundantly evident, since a different priest arises according to the similitude of Melchisedec,
In še mnogo bolj očitno je, kajti po Melkízedekovi podobnosti vstaja drug duhovnik,
16 who has been constituted not according to law of fleshly commandment, but according to power of indissoluble life.
ki ni postal po postavi mesene zapovedi, temveč po moči neskončnega življenja.
17 For it is borne witness, Thou art a priest for ever according to the order of Melchisedec. (aiōn g165)
Kajti on pričuje: »Ti si duhovnik na veke po Melkízedekovem redu.« (aiōn g165)
18 For there is a setting aside of the commandment going before for its weakness and unprofitableness,
Kajti razveljavitev prejšnje zapovedi je resnična zaradi njene slabosti in nekoristnosti.
19 (for the law perfected nothing, ) and the introduction of a better hope by which we draw nigh to God.
Kajti postava ni ničesar storila popolno, toda vpeljava boljšega upanja je; po katerem se bližamo k Bogu.
20 And by how much [it was] not without the swearing of an oath;
In še toliko bolj, ker ni bil narejen za duhovnika brez prisege;
21 (for they are become priests without the swearing of an oath, but he with the swearing of an oath, by him who said, as to him, The Lord has sworn, and will not repent [of it], Thou [art] priest for ever [according to the order of Melchisedec]; ) (aiōn g165)
(kajti ti duhovniki so postali brez prisege; toda ta s prisego po tistem, ki mu je rekel: »Gospod je prisegel in se ne bo kesal: ›Ti si duhovnik na veke po Melkízedekovem redu‹«). (aiōn g165)
22 by so much Jesus became surety of a better covenant.
S tem je bil Jezus postavljen za pôroka boljše zaveze.
23 And they have been many priests, on account of being hindered from continuing by death;
In onih je bilo resnično mnogo duhovnikov, ker jim zaradi smrti ni bilo dopuščeno, da ostanejo;
toda ta človek, ker ostaja večno, ima nespremenljivo duhovništvo. (aiōn g165)
25 Whence also he is able to save completely those who approach by him to God, always living to intercede for them.
Zatorej jih je tudi zmožen rešiti do zadnjega, da po njem pridejo k Bogu, glede na to, da vedno živi, da posreduje zanje.
26 For such a high priest became us, holy, harmless, undefiled, separated from sinners, and become higher than the heavens:
Kajti takšen véliki duhovnik nam je bil primeren, ki je svet, neškodljiv, neomadeževan, ločen od grešnikov in je postal višji od nebes;
27 who has not day by day need, as the high priests, first to offer up sacrifices for his own sins, then [for] those of the people; for this he did once for all [in] having offered up himself.
ki mu ni treba vsak dan, kakor tistim vélikim duhovnikom, darovati žrtvovanje, najprej za svoje lastne grehe in potem za grehe ljudi. Kajti to je storil enkrat, ko je daroval samega sebe.
28 For the law constitutes men high priests, having infirmity; but the word of the swearing of the oath which [is] after the law, a Son perfected for ever. (aiōn g165)
Kajti postava dela ljudi [za] vélike duhovnike, ki imajo šibkost; toda beseda prisege, ki je bila, odkar [je] postava, postavlja Sina, ki je posvečen na vékomaj. (aiōn g165)
