Hebrews 6
1 Therefore leaving the doctrine of the first principles of Christ, let us press on to perfection—not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works, of faith toward God,
Stoga mimoiđimo početnički nauk o Kristu i uzdignimo se k savršenome ne postavljajući iznovice temelja: obraćenje od mrtvih djela i vjera u Boga,
2 of the teaching of washings, of laying on of hands, of resurrection of the dead, and of everlasting judgment. (aiōnios g166)
naučavanje o krštenjima i polaganje ruku, uskrsnuće mrtvih i vječni sud. (aiōnios g166)
3 And this we will do if God permits.
To ćemo pak učiniti, dakako, ako Bog da.
4 For concerning those who were once enlightened and tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Spirit,
Zaista, onima koji su jednom prosvijetljeni, i okusili dar nebeski, i postali dionici Duha Svetoga,
i okusili Lijepu riječ Božju i snage budućega svijeta, (aiōn g165)
6 and then fell away, it is impossible to renew them again to repentance; seeing they crucify the Son of God for themselves again, and put him to open shame.
pa otpali, nemoguće je opet se obnoviti na obraćenje kad oni sami ponovno razapinju Sina Božjega i ruglu ga izvrgavaju.
7 For the land which has drunk the rain that comes often on it, and brings forth a crop suitable for them for whose sake it is also tilled, receives blessing from God;
Jer zemlja koja se napije kiše što na nju često pada i rađa raslinjem korisnim onima za koje se i obrađuje, prima blagoslov od Boga;
8 but if it bears thorns and thistles, it is rejected and near being cursed, whose end is to be burned.
ona pak koja donosi trnje i drač, odbačena je, blizu prokletstvu a svršetak joj je: “U oganj!”
9 But, beloved, we are persuaded of better things for you, and things that accompany salvation, even though we speak like this.
A uvjereni smo, ljubljeni, sve ako tako i govorimo, da je s vama dobro i da ste na putu spasenja.
10 For God is not unrighteous, so as to forget your work and the love which you showed toward his name, in that you served the saints, and still do serve them.
Ta Bog nije nepravedan da bi zaboravio vaše djelo i ljubav što je iskazaste njegovu imenu posluživši i poslužujući svetima.
11 We desire that each one of you may show the same diligence to the fullness of hope even to the end,
Želimo ipak da svatko od vas sve do svršetka pokazuje tu istu gorljivost za ispunjenje nade
12 that you won't be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherited the promises.
te ne omlitavite, nego budete nasljedovatelji onih koji po vjeri i strpljivosti baštine obećano.
13 For when God made a promise to Abraham, since he could swear by none greater, he swore by himself,
Doista, kad je Bog Abrahamu davao obećanje, jer se nije imao kime većim zakleti, zakle se samim sobom:
14 saying, "I will indeed bless you, and I will greatly multiply you."
Uistinu, blagosloviti, blagoslovit ću te i umnožiti, umnožit ću te.
15 Thus, having patiently endured, he obtained the promise.
I tako Abraham, strpljiv, postiže obećano.
16 For people swear oaths by something greater, and in every dispute of theirs the oath is final for confirmation.
Ljudi se doista kunu onim tko je veći i zakletva im je, kao potkrepa, kraj svake raspre.
17 In this way God, being determined to show more abundantly to the heirs of the promise the immutability of his counsel, interposed with an oath;
Tako i Bog: htio je baštinicima obećanja obilatije pokazati nepromjenljivost svoje odluke pa zato zajamči zakletvom
18 that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we may have a strong encouragement, who have fled for refuge to take hold of the hope set before us.
da bismo po dva nepromjenljiva čina - u kojima je nemoguće da bi Bog prevario - mi pribjeglice imali snažno ohrabrenje da se držimo ponuđene nade.
19 This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, a hope both sure and steadfast and entering into that which is within the curtain;
Ona nam je kao pouzdano i čvrsto sidro duše što ulazi u unutrašnjost iza zavjese,
