Hebrews 8
1 NOW the summary of the things spoken is this: we have such an high-priest, who hath taken his seat at the right hand of the throne of Majesty in the heavens;
A glavno u ovom izlaganju jest: takva imamo Velikog svećenika koji sjede zdesna prijestolja Veličanstva na nebesima
2 a minister of the holies, and of the true tabernacle which the Lord hath pitched, and not man.
kao bogoslužnik Svetinje i Šatora istinskoga što ga podiže Gospodin, a ne čovjek.
3 For every high-priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is necessary that this person also have somewhat to offer.
Doista, svaki se veliki svećenik postavlja da prinosi darove i žrtve. Odatle je potrebno da i on ima što bi prinio.
4 For if he were on earth, he would not be a priest, there being priests who offer gifts according to the law;
Svakako, da je na zemlji, ne bi bio svećenik jer postoje oni koji po Zakonu prinose darove.
5 who perform the service after the figure and shadow of things in the heavens, as Moses was divinely instructed, when he was about to finish the tabernacle. “For see,” saith God, “that thou make all things according to the model shewed thee on the mount.”
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.
6 But now hath Christ obtained a more excellent ministry, inasmuch as he is the mediator of a better covenant, which hath been established on better promises.
Ovako mu pak dopalo uzvišenije bogosluženje koliko je Posrednik boljega Saveza, koji je uzakonjen na boljim obećanjima.
7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no place sought for a second.
Da je, zbilja, onaj prvi bio besprijekoran, ne bi se drugome tražilo mjesto.
8 For finding fault with them, he saith, “Behold, the days are coming, saith the Lord; and I will accomplish for the house of Israel and for the house of Judah a new covenant:
Doista, kudeći ih veli: Evo dolaze dani - govori Gospodin - kad ću s domom Izraelovim i s domom Judinim dovršiti novi Savez.
9 not according to that covenant which I made with their fathers, in the day when I laid hold upon their hand to lead them up out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I took no longer care of them, saith the Lord.
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.
10 For this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; giving my laws to their understanding, even on their hearts will I inscribe them: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people.
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.
11 And they shall no more teach every man his neighbour, and every one his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me from the mean man of them unto the great among them.
I neće više nitko učiti sugrađanina i nitko brata svoga govoreći: “Spoznaj Gospodina”, ta svi će me poznavati, malo i veliko,
12 For I will be placable to their unrighteousnesses and their sins, and their iniquities I will never more remember.”
jer ću se smilovati bezakonjima njihovim i grijeha se njihovih neću više spominjati.
13 In calling it a new covenant, he hath made the first antiquated. Now what is antiquated and grown aged, is near evanescence.
Kad veli novi, ostari onaj prvi. Što pak stÓari i dotrajava, blizu je nestanku.
