Hebrejcem 8
1 Poglavitno pa pri tem, kar pravimo: višjega duhovnika imamo takega, kateri sedí na desnici prestola veličastva v nebesih;
Now the main point of the things we are saying is this: We do have such a High Priest, who sat down at the right of the Majesty's throne in the heavens,
2 Oskrbnik svetišča in šatora pravega, katerega je postavil Gospod in ne človek.
Minister of the Holy Places, that is, of the true Tabernacle which the Lord set up, not man.
3 Kajti vsak višji duhovnik se postavlja, da prinaša darí in žrtve, zato je potreba, da ima tudi tá kaj, kar bi prinašal.
Every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices (it follows that it is necessary for this One also to have something He might offer)
4 Ako bi namreč bil na zemlji, še duhovnik bi ne bil, ker so duhovniki, da dari darujejo po postavi,
—if He were on earth He would not be a priest, there already being priests who offer the gifts according to the Law;
5 Kateri služijo po podobi in senci stvarî nebeških, kakor je Mojzes ukaz prejel, ko je napravljal šator: "Glej", pravi namreč, "da narediš vse po zgledu pokazanem ti na gori.
who serve a copy and shadow of the heavenly things (that is why Moses was warned by God when he was ready to assemble the Tabernacle: “See to it,” He says, “that you make everything according to the pattern shown to you on the mountain”)—
6 Sedaj pa je dobil odličnejšo službo, za kolikor je tudi boljše zaveze srednik, katera je ustanovljena na boljših obljubah.
but now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, just as He is Mediator of a better covenant, which was enacted as law on the basis of better promises.
7 Ako bi bila namreč ona prva bila brez pogreška, ne bi se iskalo drugi mesto.
Now if there had been nothing wrong with that first covenant, no place would have been sought for a second one;
8 Kajti grajajoč jim pravi: "Glej, dnevi pridejo, govori Gospod, in s hišo Izraelovo in s hišo Judovo sklenem novo zavezo;
but finding fault with them He says: “Listen! Days are coming,” says the Lord, “when I will establish a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah
9 Ne po zavezi, katero sem storil z njih očeti, tisti dan, ko sem zgrabil njih roko, da bi jih izpeljal iz zemlje Egiptovske; ker oni niso ostali v zavezi moji, in jaz sem jih v nemar pustil, govori Gospod;
—not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt, because they did not abide by my covenant and so I disregarded them,” says the Lord.
10 Ker to je zaveza, katero bodem sklenil s hišo Izraelovo, po tistih dnevih, govori Gospod: Postave svoje dam v njih misli, in v srca njih jih zapišem; in bodem jim za Boga, in oni mi bodejo za ljudstvo.
“Now this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days,” says the Lord, “I will put my laws into their mind and write them on their hearts; and I will be their God and they will be my people.
11 In ne učé naj vsak svojega bližnjega, in vsak svojega brata, rekoč: Spoznavaj Gospoda; ker poznali me bodo vsi, od njih malega do njih velikega;
Further, not one of them will teach his neighbor and not one his brother saying, ‘Get to know the Lord!’ because they all will know me, from the least of them to the greatest of them.
12 Ker milosten bodem njih krivicam, in njih grehov in pregreškov njih ne bodem se več spominjal."
For I will be merciful to their wrongdoings; I will not at all remember their sins and their lawless deeds.”
13 Ker pravi: "Novo," ostaral je prvo; kar pa je ostarano in se stara, je skoraj minilo.
By saying ‘new’ He has made the first one ‘old’; and what is obsolete and aging is near the end.
