Hebrejcem 2
1 Zatorej smo dolžni dati iskrenejšo pozornost besedam, ki smo jih slišali, da jim ne bi kadarkoli pustili izmuzniti se.
So then, we really must pay the utmost attention to the things we have heard, so that we not drift away.
2 Kajti če je bila beseda, govorjena po angelih, neomajna in je vsak prestopek ter neposlušnost prejel pravično povračilo nagrade;
For if the word spoken through angels became binding, and every violation and disobedience received a deserved penalty,
3 kako bomo ušli mi, če zanemarimo tako veliko rešitev duš, o kateri je najprej začel govoriti Gospod in nam je bila potrjena po tistih, ki smo ga slišali;
how shall we escape if we are careless about that tremendous salvation?—it received its beginning through the Lord's declaration and was confirmed to us by those who heard Him[S],
4 [ko] njim Bog prav tako prinaša pričevanje, tako z znamenji kakor s čudeži in z različnimi čudežnimi močmi ter darovi Svetega Duha, glede na svojo lastno voljo?
God adding His[F] attestation by signs, wonders, various miracles, and distributions of the Holy Spirit according to His own will.
5 Kajti angelom ni položil v podreditev sveta, ki pride, o katerem govorimo.
Because it is not to angels that He has subjected the coming inhabited earth, about which we are speaking;
6 Temveč je nekdo na nekem kraju pričeval, rekoč: »Kaj je človek, da misliš nanj? Ali človeški sin, da ga obiskuješ?
rather, there is a place where someone testified saying: “What is man that You are mindful of him, or son of man that you care for him?
7 Naredil si ga malo nižjega od angelov; kronaš ga s slavo in častjo in postavljaš ga nad dela svojih rok.
You made him lower than the angels, for a little while; You crowned him with glory and honor,
8 Vse stvari si podvrgel pod njegova stopala.« Kajti ker je vse podvrgel pod njega, ni pustil ničesar, kar ni položeno pod njega. Vendar sedaj še ne vidimo vseh stvari položenih pod njega.
You subjected all things under his feet.” It follows that in subjecting all things to him, He left nothing that is not so subjected. However, we do not yet see everything subjected to him, at present.
9 Toda vidimo Jezusa, ki je bil postavljen malo nižje od angelov, zaradi smrtnega trpljenja, kronanega s slavo in častjo; da bi po Božji milosti okusil smrt za vsakega človeka.
But we do see Jesus, who ‘was made lower than the angels, for a little while’ (in order to suffer death), ‘crowned with glory and honor’—this, by the grace of God, so that He[S] might taste death on behalf of everyone.
10 Kajti spodobilo se je njemu, za katerega so vse stvari in po katerem so vse stvari v prinašanju mnogih sinov v slavo, da naredi poveljnika njihove rešitve duš popolnega skozi trpljenja.
Because it was appropriate to Him[F], for whom are all things and through whom are all things, in bringing many sons into glory, to complete the Author of their salvation through sufferings.
11 Kajti vsi so iz enega, tako kdor posvečuje kakor tisti, ki so posvečeni. Zaradi tega razloga ni osramočen, da jih kliče brate,
For both He[S] who is sanctifying and those who are being sanctified are all from One, for which reason He is not ashamed to call them ‘brothers’,
12 rekoč: »Oznanjal bom tvoje ime svojim bratom, na sredi cerkve ti bom prepeval hvalo.«
saying, “I will declare Your name to my brothers; in the midst of the congregation I will sing praise to You.”
13 In ponovno: »Svoje trdno upanje bom položil vanj.« In ponovno: »Glej, jaz in otroci, ki mi jih je dal Bog.«
And again, “I will put my trust in Him[F]”; and again, “Here am I and the children whom God has given me.”
14 Ker ste potem kot otroci soudeleženci mesa in krvi, je tudi sam prav tako vzel del od istega, da bi skozi smrt lahko uničil tistega, ki je imel smrtno oblast, to je hudiča
Since, then, the children have flesh and blood as their share, He[S] Himself likewise partook of the same, in order that through His death He might abolish the one who had the power of death—that is, the devil—
15 in osvobodil tiste, ki so bili zaradi strahu pred smrtjo vse svoje življenje podrejeni sužnosti.
and set free these [the children] who during their whole lifetime were subject to slavery through fear of death.
16 Kajti resnično nase ni prevzel narave angelov, temveč je nase prevzel Abrahamovo seme.
(Now surely He does not assist angels, but He does assist Abraham's seed.)
17 Zatorej se je zanj v vseh stvareh spodobilo, da je bil narejen podoben svojim bratom, da bi bil lahko usmiljen in zvest véliki duhovnik v stvareh, ki se nanašajo na Boga, da opravi pobotanje za grehe ljudi.
That is why He was obliged to become like those ‘brothers’ in all respects, so that He could be a merciful and faithful high priest, in what concerns God, with a view to making propitiation for the sins of the people.
18 Kajti ker je on sam trpel in bil skušan, je zmožen okrepiti te, ki so skušani.
For in that in which He Himself endured suffering, having been tested, He is able to assist those who are being tested.
