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

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.

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

²The high priest can deal gently with those who are ignorant and going astray, because he himself is also surrounded with weakness.

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

³Because of this, he must offer sacrifices for sins for the people, as well as for himself.

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

⁴Nobody takes this honor on himself, but he is called by God, just like Aaron was.

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 Christ didn’t glorify himself to be made a high priest, but it was he who said to him, “You are my Son. Today I have become your father.” Psalm 2:7

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

⁶As he says also in another place, “You are a priest forever, after the order of Melchizedek.” Psalm 110:4

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,

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

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

⁸though he was a Son, yet learned obedience by the things which he suffered.

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

⁹Having been made perfect, he became to all of those who obey him the author of eternal salvation,

¹⁰nazvaný súc od Boha veľkňazom podľa poriadku Melchisedechovho,

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

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

¹¹About him we have many words to say, and hard to interpret, seeing you 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 although by this time you should be teachers, you again need to have someone teach you the rudiments of the first principles of the oracles of God. You have come to need milk, and not solid food.

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

¹³For everyone who lives on milk is not experienced in the word of righteousness, for he is a baby.

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

¹⁴But solid food is for those who are full grown, who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern good and evil.
