Hebrews 6
1 Therefore leaving elementary instruction about the Christ, let us advance to mature manhood and not be continually re-laying a foundation of repentance from lifeless works and of faith in God,
Zato da ostavimo poèetak Hristove nauke i da se damo na savršenstvo: da ne postavljamo opet temelja pokajanja od mrtvijeh djela, i vjere u Boga,
2 or of teaching about ceremonial washings, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and the last judgement. (aiōnios g166)
Nauke krštenja, i metanja ruku, i vaskrsenija mrtvijeh, i suda vjeènoga. (aiōnios g166)
3 And advance we will, if God permits us to do so.
I ovo æemo uèiniti ako Bog dopusti.
4 For it is impossible, in the case of those who have once for all been enlightened, and have tasted the sweetness of the heavenly gift, and have been made partakers of the Holy Spirit,
Jer nije moguæe one koji su jednom prosvijetljeni, i okusili dara nebeskoga, postali zajednièari Duha svetoga,
5 and have realized how good the word of God is and how mighty are the powers of the coming Age, and then fell away-- (aiōn g165)
I okusili dobre rijeèi Božije, i sile onoga svijeta, i otpali, (aiōn g165)
6 it is impossible, I say, to keep bringing them back to a new repentance, for, to their own undoing, they are repeatedly crucifying the Son of God afresh and exposing Him to open shame.
Opet obnoviti na pokajanje, jer sami sebi nanovo raspinju i ruže sina Božijega.
7 For land which has drunk in the rain that often falls upon it, and brings forth vegetation useful to those for whose sakes, indeed, it is tilled, has a share in God's blessing.
Jer zemlja koja pije dažd što èesto na nju pada, i koja raða povræe dobro onima koji je rade, prima blagoslov od Boga;
8 But if it only yields a mass of thorns and briers, it is considered worthless, and is in danger of being cursed, and in the end will be destroyed by fire.
A koja iznosi trnje i èièak, nepotrebna je i kletve blizu, koja se najposlije sažeže.
9 But we, even while we speak in this tone, have a happier conviction concerning you, my dearly-loved friends--a conviction of things which point towards salvation.
Ali od vas, ljubazni, nadamo se boljemu i što se drži spasenija, ako i govorimo tako.
10 For God is not unjust so that He is unmindful of your labour and of the love which you have manifested towards Himself in having rendered services to His people and in still rendering them.
Jer Bog nije nepravedan da zaboravi djelo vaše i trud ljubavi koju pokazaste u ime njegovo, posluživši svetima i služeæi.
11 But we long for each of you to continue to manifest the same earnestness, with a view to your enjoying fulness of hope to the very End;
Ali želimo da svaki od vas pokaže to isto staranje da se nad održi tvrdo do samoga kraja;
12 so that you may not become half-hearted, but be imitators of those who through faith and patient endurance are now heirs to the promises.
Da ne budete ljenivi, nego da se ugledate na one koji vjerom i trpljenjem dobijaju obeæanja.
13 For when God gave the promise to Abraham, since He had no one greater to swear by, He swore by Himself,
Jer kad Bog Avraamu obeæa, ne imajuæi nièim veæijem da se zakune, zakle se sobom,
14 saying, "Assuredly I will bless you and bless you, I will increase you and increase you."
Govoreæi: zaista blagosiljajuæi blagosloviæu te, i umnožavajuæi umnožiæu te.
15 And so, as the result of patient waiting, our forefather obtained what God had promised.
I tako trpeæi dugo, dobi obeæanje.
16 For men swear by what is greater than themselves; and with them an oath in confirmation of a statement always puts an end to a dispute.
Jer se ljudi veæijem kunu, i svakoj njihovoj svaði svršetak je zakletva za potvrðenje.
17 In the same way, since it was God's desire to display more convincingly to the heirs of the promise how unchangeable His purpose was,
Zato i Bog kad šæaše našljednicima obeæanja obilnije da pokaže tvrðu savjeta svojega, uèini posrednika kletvu;
18 He added an oath, in order that, through two unchangeable things, in which it is impossible for Him to prove false, we may possess mighty encouragement--we who, for safety, have hastened to lay hold of the hope set before us.
Da bi u dvjema nepokolebljivijem stvarima, u kojima Bogu nije moguæe slagati, imali jaku utjehu mi koji smo pribjegli da se uhvatimo za nad koji nam je dan,
19 That hope we have as an anchor of the soul--an anchor that can neither break nor drag. It passes in behind the veil,
Koji imamo kao tvrd i pouzdan lenger duše, koji ulazi i za najdalje zavjese,
