Hebrews, 2

1. For this reason, it is necessary for us to observe more thoroughly the things that we have heard, lest we let them slip away.

1. Zato treba da mi svesrdnije prianjamo uz ono što èusmo da ne bismo promašili.

2. For if a word that was spoken through the Angels has been made firm, and every transgression and disobedience has received the recompense of a just retribution,

2. Jer ako je rijeè po anðelima izreèena bila èvrsta te je svaki prijestup i neposluh primio pravednu plaæu,

3. in what way might we escape, if we neglect such a great salvation? For though initially it had begun to be described by the Lord, it was confirmed among us by those who heard him,

3. kako li æemo mi umaæi ako zanemarimo toliko spasenje? Spasenje koje je poèeo propovijedati Gospodin, koje su nam potvrdili slušatelji,

4. with God testifying to it by signs and wonders, and by various miracles, and by the pouring out of the Holy Spirit, in accord with his own will.

4. a suposvjedoèio Bog znamenjima i èudesima, najrazlièitijim silnim djelima i darivanjima Duha Svetoga po svojoj volji.

5. For God did not subject the future world, about which we are speaking, to the Angels.

5. Nije doista anðelima podložio buduæi svijet o kojem govorimo.

6. But someone, in a certain place, has testified, saying: “What is man, that you are mindful of him, or the Son of man, that you visit him?

6. Netko negdje posvjedoèi: Što je èovjek da ga se spominješ, sin èovjeèji te ga pohaðaš.

7. You have reduced him to a little less than the Angels. You have crowned him with glory and honor, and you have set him over the works of your hands.

7. Ti ga tek za malo uèini manjim od anðela, slavom i èasti njega ovjenèa,

8. You have subjected all things under his feet.” For in as much as he has subjected all things to him, he has left nothing not subject to him. But in the present time, we do not yet perceive that all things have been made subject to him.

8. njemu pod noge sve podloži. Kad mu, doista, sve podloži, ništa ne ostavi što mu ne bi bilo podloženo. Sad još ne vidimo da mu je sve podloženo,

9. Yet we understand that Jesus, who was reduced to a little less than the Angels, was crowned with glory and honor because of his Passion and death, in order that, by the grace of God, he might taste death for all.

9. ali Njega, za malo manjeg od anðela, Isusa, vidimo zbog pretrpljene smrti slavom i èasti ovjenèana da milošæu Božjom bude svakome na korist što je on smrt okusio.

10. For it was fitting for him, because of whom and through whom all things exist, who had led many children into glory, to complete the authorship of their salvation through his Passion.

10. Dolikovalo je doista da Onaj radi kojega je sve i po kojemu je sve - kako bi mnoge sinove priveo k slavi - po patnjama do savršenstva dovede Poèetnika njihova spasenja.

11. For he who sanctifies, and those who are sanctified, are all from One. For this reason, he is not ashamed to call them brothers, saying:

11. Ta i Posvetitelj i posveæeni - svi su od jednoga! Zato se on i ne stidi zvati ih braæom,

12. “I will announce your name to my brothers. In the midst of the Church, I will praise you.”

12. kad veli: Braæi æu svojoj naviještat ime tvoje, hvalit æu te usred zbora.

13. And again: “I will be faithful in him.” And again: “Behold, I and my children, whom God has given to me.”

13. I još: Ja æu se u njega uzdati, i još: Evo, ja i djeca koju mi Bog dade.

14. Therefore, because children have a common flesh and blood, he himself also, in like manner, has shared in the same, so that through death, he might destroy him who held the dominion of death, that is, the devil,

14. Pa buduæi da djeca imaju zajednièku krv i meso, i sam on tako postade u tome sudionikom da smræu obeskrijepi onoga koji imaše moæ smrti, to jest ðavla,

15. and so that he might free those who, through the fear of death, had been condemned to servitude throughout their entire life.

15. pa oslobodi one koji - od straha pred smræu - kroza sav život bijahu podložni ropstvu.

16. For at no time did he take hold of the Angels, but instead he took hold of the offspring of Abraham.

16. Ta ne zauzima se dašto za anðele, nego se zauzima za potomstvo Abrahamovo.

17. Therefore, it is fitting for him to be made similar to his brothers in all things, so that he might become a merciful and faithful High Priest before God, in order that he might bring forgiveness to the offenses of the people.

17. Stoga je trebalo da u svemu postane braæi slièan, da milosrdan bude i ovjerovljen Veliki sveæenik u odnosu prema Bogu kako bi okajavao grijehe naroda.

18. For in as much as he himself has suffered and has been tempted, he also is able to assist those who are tempted.

18. Doista, u èemu je iskušan trpio, može iskušavanima pomoæi.
