Hebrews 7
1 For this man, Melchizedek, King of Salem and priest of the Most High God--he who when Abraham was returning after defeating the kings met him and pronounced a blessing on him--
Kajti ta Melkízedek, kralj v Salemu, duhovnik najvišjega Boga, ki je srečal Abrahama, ko se je ta vračal iz poboja kraljev in ga blagoslovil;
2 to whom also Abraham presented a tenth part of all--being first, as his name signifies, King of righteousness, and secondly King of Salem, that is, King of peace:
ki mu je tudi Abraham dal desetino od vsega; najprej pomeni Kralj pravičnosti in nató tudi Kralj Salema, kar je Kralj miru;
3 with no father or mother, and no record of ancestry: having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made a type of the Son of God--this man Melchizedek remains a priest for ever.
brez očeta, brez matere, brez porekla niti nima začetka dni niti konca življenja, toda narejen podoben Božjemu Sinu trajno ostaja duhovnik.
4 Now think how great this priest-king must have been to whom Abraham the patriarch gave a tenth part of the best of the spoil.
Torej preudarite, kako velik je bil ta mož, ki mu je celó očak Abraham dal desetino od plenov.
5 And those of the descendants of Levi who receive the priesthood are authorized by the Law to take tithes from the people, that is, from their brethren, though these have sprung from Abraham.
In resnično imajo tisti, ki so iz Lévijevih sinov, ki prejemajo službo duhovništva, zapoved, naj glede na postavo od ljudi pobirajo desetine, to je, od svojih bratov, čeprav so izšli iz Abrahamovih ledij;
6 But, in this instance, one who does not trace his origin from them takes tithes from Abraham, and pronounces a blessing on him to whom the promises belong.
toda on, katerega poreklo ni šteto od njih, je prejel Abrahamove desetine in blagoslovil tistega, ki je imel obljube.
7 And beyond all dispute it is always the inferior who is blessed by the superior.
In brez vseh ugovarjanj je manjše blagoslovljeno od boljšega.
8 Moreover here frail mortal men receive tithes: there one receives them about whom there is evidence that he is alive.
In tukaj prejemajo desetine ljudje, ki umirajo, toda tam jih prejema on, o katerem je pričevano, da živi.
9 And Levi too--if I may so speak--pays tithes through Abraham:
In tako lahko potemtakem rečem: »Tudi Levi, ki prejema desetine, je plačal desetine po Abrahamu.«
10 for Levi was yet in the loins of his forefather when Melchizedek met Abraham.
Kajti bil je še v ledjih svojega očeta, ko ga je srečal Melkízedek.
11 Now if the crowning blessing was attainable by means of the Levitical priesthood--for as resting on this foundation the people received the Law, to which they are still subject-- what further need was there for a Priest of a different kind to be raised up belonging to the order of Melchizedek instead of being said to belong to the order of Aaron?
Če je bila torej popolnost po Lévijevem duhovništvu (kajti pod njim so ljudje prejeli postavo), kakšna je bila nadaljnja potreba, da bi nastopil drug duhovnik po Melkízedekovem redu in ne bi bil imenovan po Aronovem redu?
12 For when the priesthood changes, a change of Law also of necessity takes place.
Kajti zaradi spremembe duhovništva je storjena tudi potreba po spremembi postave.
13 He, however, to whom that prophecy refers is associated with a different tribe, not one member of which has anything to do with the altar.
Kajti on, o katerem se govorijo te stvari, pripada drugemu rodu, od katerega noben človek ni daroval prisotnost pri oltarju.
14 For it is undeniable that our Lord sprang from Judah, a tribe of which Moses said nothing in connection with priests.
Kajti očitno je, da naš Gospod izvira iz Juda, iz rodu, o katerem glede duhovništva Mojzes ni ničesar rekel.
15 And this is still more abundantly clear when we read that it is as belonging to the order of Melchizedek that a priest of a different kind is to arise,
In še mnogo bolj očitno je, kajti po Melkízedekovi podobnosti vstaja drug duhovnik,
16 and hold His office not in obedience to any temporary Law, but by virtue of an indestructible Life.
ki ni postal po postavi mesene zapovedi, temveč po moči neskončnega življenja.
17 For the words are in evidence, "Thou art a priest for ever, belonging to the order of Melchizedek." (aiōn g165)
Kajti on pričuje: »Ti si duhovnik na veke po Melkízedekovem redu.« (aiōn g165)
18 On the one hand we have here the abrogation of an earlier code because it was weak and ineffective--
Kajti razveljavitev prejšnje zapovedi je resnična zaradi njene slabosti in nekoristnosti.
19 for the Law brought no perfect blessing--but on the other hand we have the bringing in of a new and better hope by means of which we draw near to God.
Kajti postava ni ničesar storila popolno, toda vpeljava boljšega upanja je; po katerem se bližamo k Bogu.
20 And since it was not without an oath being taken--
In še toliko bolj, ker ni bil narejen za duhovnika brez prisege;
21 for these men hold office without any oath having been taken, but He holds it attested by an oath from Him who said to Him, "The Lord has sworn and will not recall His words, Thou art a Priest for ever" -- (aiōn g165)
(kajti ti duhovniki so postali brez prisege; toda ta s prisego po tistem, ki mu je rekel: »Gospod je prisegel in se ne bo kesal: ›Ti si duhovnik na veke po Melkízedekovem redu‹«). (aiōn g165)
22 so much the more also is the Covenant of which Jesus has become the guarantor, a better covenant.
S tem je bil Jezus postavljen za pôroka boljše zaveze.
23 And they have been appointed priests many in number, because death prevents their continuance in office:
In onih je bilo resnično mnogo duhovnikov, ker jim zaradi smrti ni bilo dopuščeno, da ostanejo;
24 but He, because He continues for ever, has a priesthood which does not pass to any successor. (aiōn g165)
toda ta človek, ker ostaja večno, ima nespremenljivo duhovništvo. (aiōn g165)
25 Hence too He is able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, seeing that He ever lives to plead for them.
Zatorej jih je tudi zmožen rešiti do zadnjega, da po njem pridejo k Bogu, glede na to, da vedno živi, da posreduje zanje.
26 Moreover we needed just such a High Priest as this--holy, guileless, undefiled, far removed from sinful men and exalted above the heavens;
Kajti takšen véliki duhovnik nam je bil primeren, ki je svet, neškodljiv, neomadeževan, ločen od grešnikov in je postal višji od nebes;
27 who, unlike other High Priests, is not under the necessity of offering up sacrifices day after day, first for His own sins, and afterwards for those of the people; for this latter thing He did once for all when He offered up Himself.
ki mu ni treba vsak dan, kakor tistim vélikim duhovnikom, darovati žrtvovanje, najprej za svoje lastne grehe in potem za grehe ljudi. Kajti to je storil enkrat, ko je daroval samega sebe.
28 For the Law constitutes men High Priests--men with all their infirmity--but the utterance of the oath, which came later than the Law, constitutes High Priest a Son who has been made for ever perfect. (aiōn g165)
Kajti postava dela ljudi [za] vélike duhovnike, ki imajo šibkost; toda beseda prisege, ki je bila, odkar [je] postava, postavlja Sina, ki je posvečen na vékomaj. (aiōn g165)
