Hebrejcem 8

1 Poglavitno pa pri tem, kar pravimo: višjega duhovnika imamo takega, kateri sedí na desnici prestola veličastva v nebesih;

NOW the summary of the things spoken is this: we have such an high-priest, who hath taken his seat at the right hand of the throne of Majesty in the heavens;

2 Oskrbnik svetišča in šatora pravega, katerega je postavil Gospod in ne človek.

a minister of the holies, and of the true tabernacle which the Lord hath pitched, and 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.

For every high-priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is necessary that this person also have somewhat to offer.

4 Ako bi namreč bil na zemlji, še duhovnik bi ne bil, ker so duhovniki, da dari darujejo po postavi,

For if he were on earth, he would not be a priest, there being priests who offer 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 perform the service after the figure and shadow of things in the heavens, as Moses was divinely instructed, when he was about to finish the tabernacle. “For see,” saith God, “that thou make all things according to the model shewed thee on the mount.”

6 Sedaj pa je dobil odličnejšo službo, za kolikor je tudi boljše zaveze srednik, katera je ustanovljena na boljših obljubah.

But now hath Christ obtained a more excellent ministry, inasmuch as he is the mediator of a better covenant, which hath been established on better promises.

7 Ako bi bila namreč ona prva bila brez pogreška, ne bi se iskalo drugi mesto.

For if that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no place sought for a second.

8 Kajti grajajoč jim pravi: "Glej, dnevi pridejo, govori Gospod, in s hišo Izraelovo in s hišo Judovo sklenem novo zavezo;

For finding fault with them, he saith, “Behold, the days are coming, saith the Lord; and I will accomplish for the house of Israel and for the house of Judah a new covenant:

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 that covenant which I made with their fathers, in the day when I laid hold upon their hand to lead them up out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I took no longer care of them, saith 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.

For this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; giving my laws to their understanding, even on their hearts will I inscribe them: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a 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;

And they shall no more teach every man his neighbour, and every one his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me from the mean man of them unto the great among them.

12 Ker milosten bodem njih krivicam, in njih grehov in pregreškov njih ne bodem se več spominjal."

For I will be placable to their unrighteousnesses and their sins, and their iniquities I will never more remember.”

13 Ker pravi: "Novo," ostaral je prvo; kar pa je ostarano in se stara, je skoraj minilo.

In calling it a new covenant, he hath made the first antiquated. Now what is antiquated and grown aged, is near evanescence.
