Hebrews, 6
1. Therefore, interrupting an explanation of the basics of Christ, let us consider what is more advanced, not presenting again the fundamentals of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,
1. Stoga mimoiðimo poèetnièki nauk o Kristu i uzdignimo se k savršenome ne postavljajuæi iznovice temelja: obraæenje od mrtvih djela i vjera u Boga,
2. of the doctrine of baptism, and also of the imposition of hands, and of the resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.
2. nauèavanje o krštenjima i polaganje ruku, uskrsnuæe mrtvih i vjeèni sud.
3. And we shall do this, if indeed God permits it.
3. To æemo pak uèiniti, dakako, ako Bog da.
4. For it is impossible for those who were once illuminated, and have even tasted of the heavenly gift, and have become sharers in the Holy Spirit,
4. Zaista, onima koji su jednom prosvijetljeni, i okusili dar nebeski, i postali dionici Duha Svetoga,
5. who, despite having tasted the good Word of God and the virtues of the future age, have yet fallen away,
5. i okusili Lijepu rijeè Božju i snage buduæega svijeta,
6. to be renewed again to penance, since they are crucifying again in themselves the Son of God and are still maintaining pretenses.
6. pa otpali, nemoguæe je opet se obnoviti na obraæenje kad oni sami ponovno razapinju Sina Božjega i ruglu ga izvrgavaju.
7. For the earth accepts a blessing from God, by drinking in the rain that often falls upon it, and by producing plants that are useful to those by whom it is cultivated.
7. Jer zemlja koja se napije kiše što na nju èesto pada i raða raslinjem korisnim onima za koje se i obraðuje, prima blagoslov od Boga;
8. But whatever brings forth thorns and briers is rejected, and is closest to what is accursed; their consummation is in combustion.
8. ona pak koja donosi trnje i draè, odbaèena je, blizu prokletstvu a svršetak joj je: "U oganj!"
9. But from you, most beloved, we are confident that there will be things better and closer to salvation; even though we speak in this way.
9. A uvjereni smo, ljubljeni, sve ako tako i govorimo, da je s vama dobro i da ste na putu spasenja.
10. For God is not unjust, such that he would forget your work and the love that you have shown in his name. For you have ministered, and you continue to minister, to the saints.
10. Ta Bog nije nepravedan da bi zaboravio vaše djelo i ljubav što je iskazaste njegovu imenu posluživši i poslužujuæi svetima.
11. Yet we desire that each one of you display the same solicitude toward the fulfillment of hope, even unto the end,
11. Želimo ipak da svatko od vas sve do svršetka pokazuje tu istu gorljivost za ispunjenje nade
12. so that you may not be slow to act, but instead may be imitators of those who, through faith and patience, shall inherit the promises.
12. te ne omlitavite, nego budete nasljedovatelji onih koji po vjeri i strpljivosti baštine obeæano.
13. For God, in making promises to Abraham, swore by himself, (because he had no one greater by whom he might swear),
13. Doista, kad je Bog Abrahamu davao obeæanje, jer se nije imao kime veæim zakleti, zakle se samim sobom:
14. saying: “Blessing, I shall bless you, and multiplying, I shall multiply you.”
14. Uistinu, blagosloviti, blagoslovit æu te i umnožiti, umnožit æu te.
15. And in this way, by enduring patiently, he secured the promise.
15. I tako Abraham, strpljiv, postiže obeæano.
16. For men swear by what is greater than themselves, and an oath as confirmation is the end of all their controversy.
16. Ljudi se doista kunu onim tko je veæi i zakletva im je, kao potkrepa, kraj svake raspre.
17. In this matter, God, wanting to reveal more thoroughly the immutability of his counsel to the heirs of the promise, interposed an oath,
17. Tako i Bog: htio je baštinicima obeæanja obilatije pokazati nepromjenljivost svoje odluke pa zato zajamèi zakletvom
18. so that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we may have the strongest solace: we who have fled together so as to hold fast to the hope set before us.
18. da bismo po dva nepromjenljiva èina - u kojima je nemoguæe da bi Bog prevario - mi pribjeglice imali snažno ohrabrenje da se držimo ponuðene nade.
19. This we have as an anchor of the soul, safe and sound, which advances even to the interior of the veil,
19. Ona nam je kao pouzdano i èvrsto sidro duše što ulazi u unutrašnjost iza zavjese,
20. to the place where the forerunner Jesus has entered on our behalf, so as to become the High Priest for eternity, according to the order of Melchizedek.
20. kamo je kao preteèa za nas ušao Isus postavši zauvijek Veliki sveæenik po redu Melkisedekovu. ÷MELKISEDEKOVU
