¹Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things that were heard, lest haply we drift away [from them].

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

²For if the word spoken through angels proved stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense 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 a salvation? which having at the first been spoken through the Lord, was confirmed unto us by them that heard;

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 witness with them, both by signs and wonders, and by manifold powers, and by gifts of the Holy Spirit, according to his own will.

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

⁵For not unto angels did he subject the world to come, whereof we speak.

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

⁶But one hath somewhere 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 honor, 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 didst put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he subjected all things unto him, he left nothing that is not subject to him. But now we see not yet all things subjected to 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 behold him who hath been made a little lower than the angels, [even] Jesus, because of the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that by the grace of God he should taste of 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 through whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the author 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 that 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 congregation will I sing thy praise.

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 whom God hath given me.

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

¹⁴Since then the children are sharers in flesh and blood, he also himself in like manner partook of the same; that through death he might bring to nought 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 might deliver all 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 not to angels doth he give help, but he giveth help to the seed of Abraham.

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

¹⁷Wherefore it behooved him in all things to be made like unto his brethren, that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation 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 succor them that are tempted.

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