Hebrews, 5

1. For every high priest, having been taken from among men, is appointed on behalf of men toward the things which pertain to God, so that he may offer gifts and sacrifices on behalf of sins;

1. Svaki veliki sveæenik, zaista, od ljudi uzet, za ljude se postavlja u odnosu prema Bogu da prinosi darove i žrtve za grijehe.

2. he is able to commiserate with those who are ignorant and who wander astray, because he himself is also encompassed by infirmity.

2. On može primjereno suosjeæati s onima koji su u neznanju i zabludi jer je i sam zaogrnut slabošæu.

3. And because of this, he also must make such offerings for sins even for himself, in the same manner as for the people.

3. Zato mora i za narod i za sebe prinositi okajnice.

4. Neither does anyone take up this honor himself, but rather he who is called by God, just as Aaron was.

4. I nitko sam sebi ne prisvaja tu èast, nego je prima od Boga, pozvan kao Aron.

5. Thus, even Christ did not glorify himself, so as to become High Priest, but instead, it was God who said to him: “You are my Son. Today I have begotten you.”

5. Tako i Krist ne proslavi sam sebe postavši sveæenik, nego ga proslavi Onaj koji mu reèe: Ti si sin moj, danas te rodih,

6. And similarly, he says in another place: “You are a priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek.”

6. po onome što pak drugdje veli: Zauvijek ti si sveæenik po redu Melkisedekovu.

7. It is Christ who, in the days of his flesh, with a strong cry and tears, offered prayers and supplications to the One who was able to save him from death, and who was heard because of his reverence.

7. On je u dane svoga zemaljskog života sa silnim vapajem i suzama prikazivao molitve i prošnje Onomu koji ga je mogao spasiti od smrti. I bi uslišan zbog svoje predanosti:

8. And although, certainly, he is the Son of God, he learned obedience by the things that he suffered.

8. premda je Sin, iz onoga što prepati, naviknu slušati

9. And having reached his consummation, he was made, for all who are obedient to him, the cause of eternal salvation,

9. i, postigavši savršenstvo, posta svima koji ga slušaju zaèetnik vjeènoga spasenja -

10. having been called by God to be the High Priest, according to the order of Melchizedek.

10. proglašen od Boga Velikim sveæenikom po redu Melkisedekovu.

11. Our message about him is great, and difficult to explain when speaking, because you have been made feeble when listening.

11. O tome nas èeka besjeda velika, ali teško ju je rijeèima izložiti jer ste tvrdih ušiju.

12. For even though it is the time when you ought to be teachers, you are still lacking, so that you must be taught the things that are the basic elements of the Word of God, and so you have been made like those who are in need of milk, and not of solid food.

12. Pa trebalo bi doista da nakon toliko vremena veæ budete uèitelji, a ono treba da tkogod vas ponovno pouèava poèetnièka poèela kazivanja Božjih. Takvi ste: mlijeka vam treba, a ne tvrde hrane.

13. For anyone who is still feeding on milk is still unskillful in the Word of Justice; for he is like an infant.

13. Doista, tko je god još pri mlijeku, ne zna ništa o nauku pravednosti jer - nejaèe je.

14. But solid food is for those who are mature, for those who, by practice, have sharpened their mind, so as to discern good from evil.

14. A za zrele je tvrda hrana, za one koji imaju iskustvom izvježbana èula za rasuðivanje dobra i zla.
