¹For every high priest, being taken from among men, is appointed 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 bear gently with the ignorant and erring, 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 thereof is bound, 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 the honor unto himself, but when he is called of God, even as was Aaron.

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

⁵So Christ also glorified not himself to be made a high priest, but he that spake unto him, Thou art my Son, This 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 Melchizedek.

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

⁷Who in the days of his flesh, having offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and having been heard for his godly fear,

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 was a Son, yet learned obedience by the things which he suffered;

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

⁹and having been made perfect, he became unto all them that obey him the author of eternal salvation;

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

¹⁰named of God a high priest after the order of Melchizedek.

¹⁰nazvaný súc od Boha veľkňazom podľa poriadku Melchisedechovho,

¹¹Of whom we have many things to say, and hard of interpretation, seeing ye are become 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 by reason of the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need again that some one teach you the rudiments of the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of solid food.

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 partaketh of milk is without experience of 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 solid food is for fullgrown men, [even] those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern 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!
