¹For every high priest taken from among men is ordained for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins:

¹Lebo každý veľkňaz, braný z ľudí, ustanovuje sa za ľudí čo do vecí u Boha, aby donášal dary a obeti za hriechy,

²Who can have compassion on the ignorant, and on them that are out of the way; for that he himself also is compassed with infirmity.

²ktorý by po miere mohol cítiť s nevedomými a blúdiacimi, keďže je aj sám obňatý slabosťou,

³And by reason hereof he ought, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins.

³a pre ňu je povinný, jako za ľud, tak i za seba donášať obeti za hriechy.

⁴And no man taketh this honour unto himself, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron.

⁴A nikto si sám neberie tej česti, ale ten, ktorý je volaný od Boha, tak ako aj Áron.

⁵So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee.

⁵A tak aj Kristus, neoslávil sám seba, aby bol veľkňazom, ale ho oslávil ten, ktorý prehovoril k nemu: Môj Syn si ty; ja som ťa dnes splodil.

⁶As he saith also in another place, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.

⁶Ako aj na inom mieste hovorí: Ty si kňaz na veky podľa poriadku Melchisedechovho.

⁷Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared;

⁷Ktorý vo dňoch svojho ľudského tela so silným krikom a so slzami obeťou doniesol prosby a úpenlivé modlitby k tomu, ktorý ho mohol zachrániť od smrti, a bol vyslyšaný pre svoju bohabojnosť,

⁸Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered;

⁸on, hoci bol Syn, naučil sa poslušnosti z toho, čo trpel,

⁹And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;

⁹a súc zdokonalený stal sa všetkým, ktorí ho poslúchajú, pôvodcom večného spasenia

¹⁰Called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec.

¹⁰nazvaný súc od Boha veľkňazom podľa poriadku Melchisedechovho,

¹¹Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing.

¹¹o ktorom by sme mali mnoho čo povedať, a to také, čo je ťažko vyložiť, pretože ste zleniveli ušami počuť.

¹²For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.

¹²Lebo namiesto toho, čo by ste už boli mali byť učiteľmi na toľký čas, zase potrebujete, aby vás niekto učil prvkom počiatku výrokov Božích, a stali ste sa potrebnými mlieka a nie tvrdého, pevného pokrmu.

¹³For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.

¹³Lebo každý, kto má účasť na mlieku, je nezkúsený v slove spravedlivosti, lebo je nedospelý.

¹⁴But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

¹⁴Ale dokonalých pokrmom je tvrdý pokrm, tých, ktorí pre zvyklosť majú vycvičené smyslové ústroje a tak spôsobné posúdiť, čo je dobré a čo zlé!
