¹Poglavitno pa pri tem, o čemer govorimo, je to: takega imamo velikega duhovnika, ki je sedel na desnico prestola veličastva v nebesih

¹Now in the things which we are saying, the main point is this. We have such a high priest, who sat down on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens,

²in je oskrbnik svetišča in šatora pravega, ki ga je postavil Gospod in ne človek.

²a servant of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, not man.

³Kajti vsak veliki duhovnik je postavljen, da prinaša dari in žrtve; zato je potreba, da ima tudi ta kaj, kar bi prinašal.

³For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices. Therefore it is necessary that this high priest also have something to offer.

⁴Ako bi bil namreč na zemlji, bi še duhovnik ne bil, ker so tu duhovniki, ki dari prinašajo po postavi.

⁴For if he were on earth, he would not be a priest at all, seeing there are priests who offer the gifts according to the law;

⁵Oni služijo podobi in senci stvari nebeških; kakor je bilo Mojzesu ukazano, ko je napravljal šator; kajti: „Glej“, veli, „da narediš vse po zgledu, pokazanem ti na gori“.

⁵who serve a copy and shadow of the heavenly things, even as Moses was warned by God when he was about to make the tabernacle, for he said, “See, you shall make everything according to the pattern that was shown to you on the mountain.” Exodus 25:40

⁶Sedaj pa je Jezus dobil tem odličnejšo službo, kolikor boljša je zaveza, ki je njen srednik, ki je zakonito ustanovljena tudi na boljših obljubah.

⁶But now he has obtained a more excellent ministry, by so much as he is also the mediator of a better covenant, which on better promises has been given as law.

⁷Ako bi namreč ona prva zaveza bila brez pogreška, ne bi se iskalo mesto drugi.

⁷For if that first covenant had been faultless, then no place would have been sought for a second.

⁸Kajti grajajoč jim pravi: „Glej, dnevi pridejo, govori Gospod, in s hišo Izraelovo in s hišo Judovo sklenem novo zavezo;

⁸For finding fault with them, he said, “Behold, the days come,” says the Lord, “that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah;

⁹ne po zavezi, ki sem jo storil ž njih očeti, ko sem jih prijel za roko, da bi jih izpeljal iz zemlje Egiptovske; ker oni niso ostali v zavezi moji, in jaz sem jih vnemar pustil, govori Gospod.

⁹not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers, in the day that I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; for they didn’t continue in my covenant, and I disregarded them,” says the Lord.

¹⁰Kajti to je zaveza, ki jo sklenem s hišo Izraelovo po tistih dneh, govori Gospod: Postave svoje dam v njih misli in v njih srca jih napišem, in bodem jim za Boga, in oni mi bodo za ljudstvo.

¹⁰“For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel. After those days,” says the Lord; “I will put my laws into their mind, I will also write them on their heart. I will be their God, and they will be my people.

¹¹In naj ne uče vsak svojega bližnjega in vsak svojega brata, rekoč: Spoznaj Gospoda! zakaj poznali me bodo vsi, od njih malega do njih velikega.

¹¹They will not teach every man his fellow citizen, TR reads “neighbor” instead of “fellow citizen” and every man his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for all will know me, from their least to their greatest.

¹²Kajti milosten bodem njih krivicam in njih grehov in pregreškov se ne bom spominjal več“.Ko pravi: „novo zavezo“, je proglasil prvo za staro; kar pa se stara in je zastarelo, se bliža koncu.

¹²For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness. I will remember their sins and lawless deeds no more.” Jeremiah 31:31-34

¹³Ko pravi: „novo zavezo“, je proglasil prvo za staro; kar pa se stara in je zastarelo, se bliža koncu.

¹³In that he says, “A new covenant,” he has made the first old. But that which is becoming old and grows aged is near to vanishing away.
