¹Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.

¹Preto musíme tým viacej pozorovať na to, čo sme počuli, aby sme nejako neprešli pomimo.

²For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward;

²Lebo ak slovo, hovorené skrze anjelov, bolo pevné, a každé prestúpenie a každý neposluch dostaly spravedlivú odplatu,

³How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him;

³jakože my utečieme, ak zanedbáme také veľké spasenie?! Ktoré, keď o ňom začal najdriev hovoriť Pán, nám ztvrdili tí, ktorí ho počuli,

⁴God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will?

⁴pri čom spolu svedčil Bôh znameniami a zázrakmi a rôznymi mocami a udeľovaním Svätého Ducha podľa svojej vôle.

⁵For unto the angels hath he not put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak.

⁵Lebo nie anjelom podriadil budúci svet, o ktorom hovoríme.

⁶But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man that thou visitest him?

⁶A ktosi osvedčil kdesi a povedal: Čo je človek, že pamätáš na neho, alebo syn človeka, že ho navštevuješ?!

⁷Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands:

⁷Učinil si ho čosi málo menším od anjelov, slávou a cťou si ho korunoval a ustanovil si ho nad dielami svojich rúk.

⁸Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him.

⁸Všetko si poddal pod jeho nohy. Lebo tým, že mu poddal všetko, nenechal ničoho jemu nepoddaného. No, teraz ešte nevidíme, že by mu bolo všetko poddané.

⁹But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.

⁹Ale toho čosi málo menším od anjelov učineného vidíme Ježiša, pre utrpenie smrti korunovaného slávou a cťou, aby milosťou Božou za každého okúsil smrť.

¹⁰For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.

¹⁰Lebo mu svedčalo, pre ktorého všetko a skrze ktorého všetko, ktorý doviedol mnoho synov do slávy, veľvodcu ich spasenia dokonalým učiniť utrpením.

¹¹For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,

¹¹Lebo jako posväcujúci, tak i posväcovaní, všetci sú z jedného, pre ktorú príčinu nehanbí sa volať ich bratmi,

¹²Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee.

¹²keď hovorí: Zvestovať budem tvoje meno svojim bratom, prostred shromaždenia ti budem spievať chvály.

¹³And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which God hath given me.

¹³A zase: Ja sa budem nadejať na neho. A zase: Hľa, ja a deti, ktoré mi dal Bôh.

¹⁴Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;

¹⁴Tedy keď deti staly sa účastnými tela a krvi, tak aj on podobným spôsobom stal sa účastným toho istého, aby smrťou zahladil toho, ktorý má vládu smrti, to jest diabla.

¹⁵And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.

¹⁵a vyprostil ich, všetkých, ktorí bázňou smrti po celý čas žitia boli držaní v rabstve.

¹⁶For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham.

¹⁶Lebo, tak sa nazdám, nezaujíma sa anjelov, ale sa zaujíma semena Abrahámovho,

¹⁷Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.

¹⁷pre čo bol podlžný byť vo všetkom pripodobnený bratom, aby bol milosrdným a verným veľkňazom čo do vecí u Boha, aby smieril hriechy ľudu.

¹⁸For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.

¹⁸Lebo tým, že sám trpel, keď bol pokúšaný, môže spomáhať pokúšaným.
