Poslanica Hebrejima 5

Biblija Hrvatski	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Svaki veliki svećenik, zaista, od ljudi uzet, za ljude se postavlja u odnosu prema Bogu da prinosi darove i žrtve za grijehe.	1 Every high priest is taken from among men and made their representative before God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins.
2 On može primjereno suosjećati s onima koji su u neznanju i zabludi jer je i sam zaogrnut slabošću.	2 He is able to deal patiently with the ignorant and erring, for he himself is beset by weakness
3 Zato mora i za narod i za sebe prinositi okajnice.	3 and so, for this reason, must make sin offerings for himself as well as for the people.
4 I nitko sam sebi ne prisvaja tu čast, nego je prima od Boga, pozvan kao Aron.	4 No one takes this honor upon himself but only when called by God, just as Aaron was.
5 Tako i Krist ne proslavi sam sebe postavši svećenik, nego ga proslavi Onaj koji mu reče: Ti si sin moj, danas te rodih,	5 In the same way, it was not Christ who glorified himself in becoming high priest, but rather the one who said to him: "You are my son; this day I have begotten you";
6 po onome što pak drugdje veli: Zauvijek ti si svećenik po redu Melkisedekovu.	6 just as he says in another place: "You are a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek."
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 bî uslišan zbog svoje predanosti:	7 In the days when he was in the flesh, he offered prayers and supplications with loud cries and tears to the one who was able to save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverence.
8 premda je Sin, iz onoga što prepati, naviknu slušati	8 Son though he was, he learned obedience from what he suffered;
9 i, postigavši savršenstvo, posta svima koji ga slušaju začetnik vječnoga spasenja –	9 and when he was made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him,
10 proglašen od Boga Velikim svećenikom po redu Melkisedekovu. O tome nas čeka besjeda velika, ali teško ju je riječima izložiti jer ste tvrdih ušiju.	10 declared by God high priest according to the order of Melchizedek.
	11 About this we have much to say, and it is difficult to explain, for you have become sluggish in hearing.
12 Pa trebalo bi doista da nakon toliko vremena već budete učitelji, a ono treba da tkogod vas ponovno poučava početnička počela kazivanjâ Božjih. Takvi ste: mlijeka vam treba, a ne tvrde hrane.	12 Although you should be teachers by this time, you need to have someone teach you again the basic elements of the utterances of God. You need milk, (and) not solid food.
13 Doista, tko je god još pri mlijeku, ne zna ništa o nauku pravednosti jer – nejače je.	13 Everyone who lives on milk lacks experience of the word of righteousness, for he is a child.
14 A za zrele je tvrda hrana, za one koji imaju iskustvom izvježbana čula za rasuđivanje dobra i zla.	14 But solid food is for the mature, for those whose faculties are trained by practice to discern good and evil.
