Hebrews 6
1 So then, let us leave the beginning of the message of Christ and move forward to maturity. Let us not lay again the foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith in 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 nor the foundation of teaching about baptisms, laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment. (aiōnios g166)
naučavanje o krštenjima i polaganje ruku, uskrsnuće mrtvih i vječni sud. (aiōnios g166)
3 We will also do this if God permits.
To ćemo pak učiniti, dakako, ako Bog da.
4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, who tasted the heavenly gift, who were sharers 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 but who then fell away—it is impossible to restore them again to repentance. This is because they crucify the Son of God for themselves again, and publicly shame him.
pa otpali, nemoguće je opet se obnoviti na obraćenje kad oni sami ponovno razapinju Sina Božjega i ruglu ga izvrgavaju.
7 For the land that drinks in the rain that often comes on it, and that gives birth to the plants useful to those for whom the land was worked—this is the land that receives a 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 worthless and is near to a curse. Its end is in burning.
ona pak koja donosi trnje i drač, odbačena je, blizu prokletstvu a svršetak joj je: “U oganj!”
9 But we are convinced about better things concerning you, beloved ones, things that concern 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 so unjust that he would forget your work and the love that you have shown for his name, because you served the believers and still serve them.
Ta Bog nije nepravedan da bi zaboravio vaše djelo i ljubav što je iskazaste njegovu imenu posluživši i poslužujući svetima.
11 We greatly desire that each of you may show the same diligence to the end, in order to make your hope certain.
Želimo ipak da svatko od vas sve do svršetka pokazuje tu istu gorljivost za ispunjenje nade
12 This is so that you will not become lazy, but imitators of those who by faith and patience inherit the promises.
te ne omlitavite, nego budete nasljedovatelji onih koji po vjeri i strpljivosti baštine obećano.
13 For when God made his promise to Abraham, he swore by himself, since he could not swear by anyone greater.
Doista, kad je Bog Abrahamu davao obećanje, jer se nije imao kime većim zakleti, zakle se samim sobom:
14 He said, “I will certainly bless you, and I will greatly increase you.”
Uistinu, blagosloviti, blagoslovit ću te i umnožiti, umnožit ću te.
15 In this way, Abraham obtained what was promised after he had patiently waited.
I tako Abraham, strpljiv, postiže obećano.
16 For people swear by someone greater than themselves. At the end of each of their disputes, an oath serves as confirmation.
Ljudi se doista kunu onim tko je veći i zakletva im je, kao potkrepa, kraj svake raspre.
17 When God decided to show more clearly to the heirs of the promise the unchangeable quality of his purpose, he guaranteed it with an oath.
Tako i Bog: htio je baštinicima obećanja obilatije pokazati nepromjenljivost svoje odluke pa zato zajamči zakletvom
18 He did this so that by two unchangeable things—with which it is impossible for God to lie—we, who have fled for refuge, will have a strong encouragement to hold firmly to 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 We have this as a secure and reliable anchor for the soul, a hope that enters into the inner place behind the curtain,
Ona nam je kao pouzdano i čvrsto sidro duše što ulazi u unutrašnjost iza zavjese,
