Hebrews 7
1 [Now I will say more about] this [man] Melchizedek. He was the king of Salem [city and was] a priest of God, the one who is greater [than anyone else]. He met Abraham who was returning [home] after [he and his men] had defeated the [armies of four] kings [SYN]. Melchizedek [asked God to] bless Abraham.
Nebo ten Melchisedech byl král Sálem, kněz Boha nejvyššího, kterýž vyšel v cestu Abrahamovi, navracujícímu se od pobití králů, a dal jemu požehnání.
2 Then Abraham gave to him one tenth of all [the spoils he] took after winning [the battle. Melchizedek’s name] means firstly ‘king [who rules] righteously’, and since Salem means ‘peace’, he was the ‘king [who rules] peacefully’.
Kterémužto Abraham i desátek dal ze všeho. Kterýž nejprvé vykládá se král spravedlnosti, potom pak i král Sálem, to jest král pokoje,
3 [In the Scriptures there is] no [record of who his] father [was], nor [is there any record of who his] mother [was], nor [is there any record of who his] ancestors [were]. There is no [record of when he was] born, nor [is there any record of when he] died. [For these reasons], [it is as though] he continues to be a priest forever, and for this reason he is like God’s Son.
Bez otce, bez matky, bez rodu, ani počátku dnů, ani skonání života nemaje, ale připodobněn jsa Synu Božímu, zůstává knězem věčně.
4 You can realize how great this [man Melchizedek was] from the fact that Abraham, [our famous] ancestor, gave him (a tithe/one tenth) of the spoils [from the battle].
Pohleďtež tedy, kteraký ten byl, jemuž i desátky z kořistí dal Abraham patriarcha.
5 According to the laws [God gave Moses], the descendants of [Abraham’s great-grandson] Levi, who were priests, should take tithes from [God’s] people who were their relatives, even though those people also were Abraham’s descendants.
A ješto ti, kteříž jsou z synů Léví kněžství přijímající, přikázaní mají desátky bráti od lidu podle Zákona, to jest od bratří svých, ačkoli pošlých z bedr Abrahamových,
6 But this man [Melchizedek], who was not among the descendants [of Levi], took tithes from Abraham. He also [asked God to] bless Abraham, the man to whom [God] promised [many descendants].
Tento pak, jehož rod není počten mezi nimi, desátky vzal od Abrahama, a tomu, kterýž měl zaslíbení, požehnání dal.
7 We know for certain that it is the more [important people] who [ask God to] bless the less important people. [And Melchizedek blessed Abraham. So we conclude that Melchizedek was greater than Abraham].
A jistě beze všeho odporu menší od většího požehnání béře.
8 In the case of [the priests who are descendants of Levi], men who some day will die receive tithes. But in the case of [Melchizedek it is as if God] testifies that he was still living, [since there is no record in Scriptures about his death].
A tuto desátky berou smrtelní lidé, ale tamto ten, o němž se vysvědčuje, že jest živ.
9 And it was as though Levi himself, and [all the priests descended from him]—who received tithes [from the people]—paid tithes [to Melchizedek]. And when Abraham paid tithes, it [was as though Levi and all the priests descended from him acknowledged that the work Melchizedek did as a priest was greater than the work Levi did],
A ať tak dím, i sám Léví, kterýž desátky béře, v Abrahamovi desátky dal.
10 since [the sperm from which all those priests were eventually born] was still in Abraham’s body [EUP] when Melchizedek met Abraham.
Nebo ještě v bedrách otce byl, když vyšel proti němu Melchisedech.
11 [God] gave his laws to his people at the same time he gave regulations about the priests. So, if what the priests who were descended from Levi did could have provided a way for God to completely [forgive] people [for disobeying those laws], certainly no other priest like Melchizedek would have been necessary. [RHQ] Instead, priests who were descended from Aaron, [Levi’s descendant, would have been adequate].
A protož byla-liť dokonalost spasení skrze Levítské kněžství, (nebo za toho kněžství vydán jest lidu Zákon, ) jakáž toho byla potřeba, aby jiný kněz podle řádu Melchisedechova povstal, a nebyl již více podle řádu Aronova jmenován?
12 [But we know they were not adequate, because a new type of priest like Melchizedek has come]. And since [God] has appointed a new type of priest, he also had to change the regulations [concerning how priests were appointed] {[he appointed priests]}.
A poněvadž jest kněžství přeneseno, musiloť také i Zákona přenesení býti.
13 [Jesus], the one about whom I am saying these things, is a descendant of someone else, [not a descendant of Levi]. None of the men from whom Jesus descended ever served as priests [MTY].
Nebo ten, o kterémž se to praví, jiného jest pokolení, z kteréhožto žádný při oltáři v službě nebyl.
14 [We know that] since it is obvious that it is from [the tribe of] Judah that our Lord was descended. Moses never said that any of Judah’s descendants would [become] priests.
Zjevné jest zajisté, že z pokolení Judova pošel Pán náš, o kterémžto pokolení nic z strany kněžství nemluvil Mojžíš.
15 Furthermore, [we know that the priests who were descended from Levi were inadequate, since] it is even more obvious that another priest has appeared who is like Melchizedek.
Nýbrž hojněji to zjevné jest i z toho, že povstal jiný kněz podle řádu Melchisedechova,
16 Jesus became a priest, but not because [he fulfilled] what [God’s] law required [about being a descendant of Levi]. Instead, he has the kind of power that [came from a] life that nothing can destroy (OR, [enabled him to] live [again after he was] killed).
Kterýžto učiněn jest knězem ne podle zákona přikázaní tělesného, ale podle moci života neporušitelného.
17 [We know this] since [God] confirmed it in [the Scripture passage in which he said to his Son], You [(sg)] are a priest eternally just like Melchizedek was a priest. (aiōn g165)
Nebo svědčí Písmo, řka: Ty jsi kněz na věky podle řádu Melchisedechova. (aiōn g165)
18 On the one hand, God canceled what he commanded previously [concerning the priests] because it failed in every way to enable anyone [to become all that God intended].
Stalo se zajisté složení onoho předešlého přikázaní, protože bylo mdlé a neužitečné.
19 Remember that no one was able to become all that God intended [by obeying] the laws [that God gave Moses]. On the other hand, [God caused that we could] confidently expect better things [than we could expect by obeying God’s laws]. [He did that by his establishing Christ as priest]. Now by means of [Christ sacrificing himself for us] we can come near to God.
Nebo ničehož k dokonalosti nepřivedl Zákon, ale na místo jeho uvedena lepší naděje, skrze niž přibližujeme se k Bohu.
20 Furthermore, [when God appointed Christ, it was when God] solemnly declared [that Christ would be a priest] [LIT]. When [God appointed former] priests, it was not by his solemnly declaring [that they would be priests].
A to tím lepší, že ne bez přísahy.
21 However, when he [appointed Christ to be a priest], it was by these words that [the Psalmist wrote in Scripture]: The Lord has solemnly declared [to the Messiah], —and he will not change his mind— “You will be a priest forever!” (aiōn g165)
Nebo onino bez přísahy kněžími učiněni bývali, tento pak s přísahou, skrze toho, kterýž řekl k němu: Přisáhl Pán, a nebudeť toho litovati: Ty jsi kněz na věky podle řádu Melchisedechova. (aiōn g165)
22 Because of that, Jesus guarantees that [the new] covenant will be better [than the old one].
Takť lepší smlouvy prostředníkem učiněn jest Ježíš.
23 And formerly, the priests could not keep serving [as priests], because they all died [PRS]. So there were many priests [to take the place of the ones who died].
A také onino mnozí bývali kněží, protože smrt bránila jim vždycky trvati;
24 But because [Jesus] lives eternally, he will continue to be a Supreme Priest forever. (aiōn g165)
Ale tento poněvadž zůstává na věky, věčné má kněžství. (aiōn g165)
25 So, he can completely and eternally save those who come to God by [trusting in what Jesus has done for them], since he lives forever to plead [with God] to help them.
A protož i dokonale spasiti může všecky přistupující skrze něj k Bohu, vždycky jsa živ k orodování za ně.
26 Jesus is the kind of Supreme Priest that we need. He was holy; he did no wrong; he was completely innocent. [God] has now taken him up to the highest heaven separated from [living among] sinners.
Takovéhoť zajisté nám slušelo míti nejvyššího kněze, svatého, nevinného, nepoškvrněného, odděleného od hříšníků, a jenž by vyšší nad nebesa učiněn byl,
27 [The other] Supreme Priests need to sacrifice [animals] day by day [as well as year by year]. They do this, firstly, [to atone] for their own sins, and then [to atone for other] people [who have sinned]. [But because Jesus never sinned], he does not need to atone for his own sin. The only thing [he needed to do to save people] was to sacrifice himself once!
Kterýž by nepotřeboval na každý den, jako onino kněží, nejprv za své vlastní hříchy oběti obětovati, potom za za hříchy lidu. Neboť jest to učinil jednou, samého sebe obětovav.
28 [We need a Supreme Priest like] him, because in the laws [that God gave Moses] [PRS] the ones who would be appointed to be priests would be men who tended [to sin easily]. But [God] solemnly [declared] [PRS] after [he had given] his laws [to Moses] that [he would appoint] (his Son/the man who is also God) [to be a Supreme Priest. Now] ([his Son/the man who is also God]) has forever become all that God intends him to be. (aiōn g165)
Zákon zajisté lidi mající nedostatky ustavoval za nejvyšší kněží, ale slovo přísežné, kteréž se stalo po Zákonu, ustanovilo Syna Božího dokonalého na věky. (aiōn g165)
