Hebrews 12
1 Therefore, we also having so great a cloud of witnesses set around us, having put off every weight, and the closely besetting sin, may we run the contest that is set before us through endurance,
Zato vidite, ker smo tudi mi obdani naokoli s tako velikim oblakom pričevalcev, odložimo vsako breme in greh, ki nas tako z lahkoto pesti in s potrpežljivostjo tecimo tekmo, ki je postavljena pred nas;
2 looking to the Author and Perfecter of the faith—Jesus, who, for the joy set before Him, endured a cross, having despised shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God;
glejmo k Jezusu, avtorju in dopolnitelju naše vere; ki je zaradi radosti, ki je bila postavljena predenj, pretrpel križ in preziral sramoto in je posedèn na desnico Božjega prestola.
3 for again consider Him who endured such contradiction from the sinners to Himself, that you may not be wearied in your souls—being faint.
Kajti razmislite vendar o tistem, ki je prestal takšno nasprotovanje grešnikov proti sebi, da ne bi bili vi utrujeni in oslabeli v svojih umih.
4 You did not yet resist to blood—striving with sin;
Niste se še do krvi uprli v boju zoper greh.
5 and you have forgotten the exhortation that speaks fully to you as to sons, “My son, do not despise [the] discipline of [the] LORD, nor be faint, being reproved by Him,
In pozabili ste na spodbujanje, ki vam govori kakor otrokom: »Moj sin, ne preziraj Gospodovega karanja niti ne izgubljaj poguma, kadar te ošteva;
6 for whom the LORD loves He disciplines, and He scourges every son whom He receives”;
kajti kogar Gospod ljubi, strogo vzgaja, in biča vsakega sina, ki ga sprejema.«
7 if you endure discipline, God bears Himself to you as to sons, for who is a son whom a father does not discipline?
Če ste prestali vzgojo, Bog z vami ravna kakor s sinovi; kajti kakšen sin je ta, ki ga oče ne bi strogo vzgajal?
8 And if you are apart from discipline, of which all have become partakers, then you are bastards, and not sons.
Toda če ste brez vzgoje, česar so vsi soudeleženi, potem ste nezakonski otroci, ne pa sinovi.
9 Then, indeed, we have had fathers of our flesh, correctors, and we respected [them]; will we not much rather be subject to the Father of the spirits, and live?
Nadalje smo imeli očete svojega mesa, ki so nas vzgajali in smo jim dali spoštovanje. Mar ne bomo veliko raje v podrejenosti Očetu duhov in živeli?
10 For they, indeed, for a few days, according to what seemed good to them, were disciplining, but He for profit, to be partakers of His separation;
Kajti oni so nas resnično strogo vzgajali za nekaj dni, po svoji lastni volji; toda on za našo korist, da mi lahko postanemo soudeleženci njegove svetosti.
11 and all discipline for the present, indeed, does not seem to be of joy, but of sorrow, yet afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those exercised through it.
Torej nobeno opominjanje zaenkrat ni videti, da bi bilo veselo, temveč bridko. Kljub temu potem obrodi miren sad pravičnosti v teh, ki so z njim izurjeni.
12 For this reason, lift up the hanging-down hands and the loosened knees;
Zatorej dvignite roke, ki visijo in slabotna kolena;
13 and make straight paths for your feet, so that which is lame may not be turned aside, but rather be healed;
in naredite ravne steze za svoja stopala, da se ne bi to, kar šepa, obrnilo proč s poti, temveč naj bo raje ozdravljeno.
14 pursue peace with all, and the separation, apart from which no one will see the LORD,
Prizadevajte si za mir z vsemi ljudmi in svetost, brez katere noben človek ne bo videl Gospoda.
15 observing lest anyone be failing of the grace of God, lest any root of bitterness springing up may give trouble, and through this many may be defiled;
Marljivo zrite, da ne bi katerikoli človek padel od Božje milosti; da vas ne bi zbegala nobena korenina grenkobe, ki poganja in bi bili z njo mnogi omadeževani;
16 lest anyone be a fornicator, or a profane person, as Esau, who in exchange for one morsel of food sold his birthright,
da ne bi bilo nobenega prešuštvovalca ali oskrunjene osebe, kakor Ezav, ki je za en košček hrane prodal pravico svojega prvorojenstva.
17 for you know that also afterward, wishing to inherit the blessing, he was disapproved of, for he did not find a place of conversion, though having sought it with tears.
Kajti veste, kako je bil potem, ko je želel podedovati blagoslov, zavrnjen; kajti ni našel nobenega prostora za kesanje, čeprav ga je skrbno iskal s solzami.
18 For you did not come near to the mountain touched and scorched with fire, and to blackness, and darkness, and storm,
Kajti niste prišli h gori, ki se jo lahko dotakne in ki gori z ognjem in niti k črnosti in ne temi in ne viharju
19 and a sound of a trumpet, and a voice of sayings, which those having heard begged that a word might not be added to them,
in ne donenju trobente in ne glasu besed; katerega glas so tisti, ki so poslušali, rotili, da jim beseda ne bi bila več izgovorjena.
20 for they were not bearing that which is commanded, “And if a beast may touch the mountain, it will be stoned, or shot through with an arrow,”
(Kajti niso mogli prenesti tega, kar je bilo ukazano: »In če se žival komaj dotakne gore, naj bo kamnana ali prebodena s puščico.«
21 and (so terrible was the sight), Moses said, “I am exceedingly fearful, and trembling.”
In prizor je bil tako strašen, da je Mojzes rekel: »Silno se bojim in tresem.«)
22 But you came to Mount Zion, and to [the] city of the living God, to the heavenly Jerusalem, and to myriads of messengers,
Toda vi ste prišli h gori Sion in k mestu živega Boga, nebeškemu Jeruzalemu in k nepreštevni angelski druščini,
23 to the assembly-place and Assembly of the Firstborn registered in Heaven, and to God the judge of all, and to spirits of righteous men made perfect,
h glavnemu zboru in cerkvi prvorojenih, ki so zapisani v nebesih in k Bogu, Sodniku vseh in k duhovom pravičnih ljudi, ki so dosegli popolnost
24 and to a mediator of a new covenant—Jesus, and to blood of sprinkling, speaking better things than that of Abel!
in k Jezusu, posredniku nove zaveze in h krvi škropljenja, ki govori boljše stvari kakor ta od Abela.
25 Watch out lest you refuse Him who is speaking, for if those did not escape who refused him who was divinely speaking on earth—much less we who turn away from Him who [speaks] from Heaven,
Glejte, da ne zavrnete tistega, ki govori. Kajti če niso ušli tisti, ki so zavrnili tistega, ki je govoril na zemlji, koliko bolj ne bomo ušli mi, če se odvrnemo od tistega, ki govori iz nebes;
26 whose voice shook the earth then, and now He has promised, saying, “Yet once [more]—I shake not only the earth, but also Heaven”;
katerega glas je takrat stresel zemljo; toda sedaj je obljubil, rekoč: »Še enkrat stresem, ne samo zemljo, temveč tudi nebo.«
27 and this, “Yet once [more],” makes evident the removal of the things shaken, as of things having been made, that the things not shaken may remain;
In ta beseda: »Še enkrat, « pomeni odstranitev tistih stvari, ki so lahko stresene, kakor od stvari, ki so narejene, da te stvari, ki ne morejo biti stresene, lahko ostanejo.
28 for this reason, receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, may we have grace, through which we may serve God well-pleasingly, with reverence and fear,
Zaradi tega mi, ki prejemamo kraljestvo, ki ne more biti omajano, imejmo milost, s katero lahko sprejemljivo služimo Bogu, s spoštovanjem in bogaboječim strahom.
29 for our God [is] also a consuming fire.
Kajti naš Bog je požirajoč ogenj.
