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

¹For every chief priest — out of men taken — in behalf of men is set in things [pertaining] to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins,

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

²able to be gentle to those ignorant and going astray, since himself also is compassed with infirmity;

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

³and because of this infirmity he ought, as for the people, so also for himself to offer for sins;

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

⁴and no one to himself doth take the honour, but he who is called by God, as also Aaron:

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.

⁵so also the Christ did not glorify himself to become chief priest, but He who spake unto him: `My Son thou art, I to-day have begotten thee;`

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

⁶as also in another [place] He saith, `Thou [art] a priest — to the age, according to the order of Melchisedek;`

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,

⁷who in the days of his flesh both prayers and supplications unto Him who was able to save him from death — with strong crying and tears — having offered up, and having been heard in respect to that which he feared,

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

⁸through being a Son, did learn by the things which he suffered — the obedience,

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

⁹and having been made perfect, he did become to all those obeying him a cause of salvation age-during,

¹⁰nazvaný súc od Boha veľkňazom podľa poriadku Melchisedechovho,

¹⁰having been addressed by God a chief priest, according to the order of Melchisedek,

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

¹¹concerning whom we have much discourse and of hard explanation to say, since ye have become dull of hearing,

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.

¹²for even owing to be teachers, because of the time, again ye have need that one teach you what [are] the elements of the beginning of the oracles of God, and ye have become having need of milk, and not of strong food,

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

¹³for every one who is partaking of milk [is] unskilled in the word of righteousness — for he is an infant,

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

¹⁴and of perfect men is the strong food, who because of the use are having the senses exercised, unto the discernment both of good and of evil.
