Hebrejcem 2

1 Zatorej smo dolžni dati iskrenejšo pozornost besedam, ki smo jih slišali, da jim ne bi kadarkoli pustili izmuzniti se.

Therefore we ought to pay greater attention to the things that were heard, so that we will 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 proved steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense;

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 will we escape if we neglect so great a salvation—which at the first having been spoken through the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard;

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 also testifying with them, both by signs and wonders, by various works of power, and by gifts of the Holy Spirit, according to his own will?

5 Kajti angelom ni položil v podreditev sveta, ki pride, o katerem govorimo.

For he did not subject the world to come, of which we speak, to angels.

6 Temveč je nekdo na nekem kraju pričeval, rekoč: »Kaj je človek, da misliš nanj? Ali človeški sin, da ga obiskuješ?

But one has somewhere testified, saying, "What is man, that you think of him? Or the 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 a little lower than the angels. 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 have put all things under his feet." For in that he put all things under him, he left nothing that is not under him. But now we do not yet see that all things are under him.

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 see him who has been made a little lower than the angels, Jesus, because of the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that by the grace of God he should taste of death for 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.

For it became him, for whom are all things, and through whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to make the author of their salvation perfect 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 who sanctifies and those who are sanctified are all from one, for which cause 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 assembly I will praise 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." And again, "Look, here I am, and the children 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 shared in flesh and blood, he also himself in like manner partook of the same, that through death he might bring to nothing him 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 might deliver all of them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.

16 Kajti resnično nase ni prevzel narave angelov, temveč je nase prevzel Abrahamovo seme.

For, truly, he did not come to help the angels, but to help the offspring of Abraham.

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.

Therefore he was obligated in all things to be made like his brothers, that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make atonement 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 he himself has suffered being tempted, he is able to help those who are tempted.
