¹For the law, having a shadow of the good to come, not the very image of the things, can never with the same sacrifices year by year, which they offer continually, make perfect those who draw near.

¹Budući da Zakon ima tek sjenu budućih dobara, a ne sam lik zbiljnosti, on uistinu žrtvama koje se - iz godine u godinu iste - neprestano prinose ne može nikada usavršiti one što pristupaju.

²Or else wouldn’t they have ceased to be offered, because the worshippers, having been once cleansed, would have had no more consciousness of sins?

²Ta ne bi li se prestale prinositi kad bogoslužnici, jednom očišćeni, ne bi više imali nikakve svijesti grijeha?

³But in those sacrifices there is a yearly reminder of sins.

³Ali po njima se iz godine u godinu podsjeća na grijehe.

⁴For it is impossible that the blood of bulls and goats should take away sins.

⁴Jer krv bikova i jaraca nikako ne može odnijeti grijeha.

⁵Therefore when he comes into the world, he says, “Sacrifice and offering you didn’t desire, but you prepared a body for me;

⁵Zato On ulazeći u svijet veli: Žrtva i prinos ne mile ti se, nego si mi tijelo pripravio;

⁶paljenice i okajnice ne sviđaju ti se.

⁷Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come (in the scroll of the book it is written of me) to do your will, O God.’” Psalm 40:6-8

⁷Tada rekoh: "Evo dolazim!" U svitku knjige piše za mene: "Vršiti, Bože, volju tvoju!"

⁸Previously saying, “Sacrifices and offerings and whole burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin you didn’t desire, neither had pleasure in them” (those which are offered according to the law),

⁸Pošto gore reče: Žrtve i prinosi, paljenice i okajnice - koje se po Zakonu prinose - ne mile ti se i ne sviđaju,

⁹then he has said, “Behold, I have come to do your will.” He takes away the first, that he may establish the second,

⁹veli zatim: Evo dolazim vršiti volju tvoju! Dokida prvo da uspostavi drugo.

¹⁰by which will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

¹⁰U toj smo volji posvećeni prinosom tijela Isusa Krista jednom zauvijek.

¹¹Every priest indeed stands day by day serving and often offering the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins,

¹¹I svaki je svećenik dan za danom u bogoslužju te učestalo prinosi iste žrtve, koje nikako ne mogu odnijeti grijeha.

¹²but he, when he had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down on the right hand of God;

¹²A ovaj, pošto je prinio jednu jedincatu žrtvu za grijehe, zauvijek sjede zdesna Bogu

¹³from that time waiting until his enemies are made the footstool of his feet.

¹³čekajući otad dok se neprijatelji ne podlože za podnožje nogama njegovim.

¹⁴For by one offering he has perfected forever those who are being sanctified.

¹⁴Jednim uistinu prinosom zasvagda usavrši posvećene.

¹⁵The Holy Spirit also testifies to us, for after saying,

¹⁵A to nam svjedoči i Duh Sveti. Pošto je doista rekao:

¹⁶“This is the covenant that I will make with them: ‘After those days,’ says the Lord, ‘I will put my laws on their heart, I will also write them on their mind;’” Jeremiah 31:33 then he says,

¹⁶"Ovo je Savez kojim ću se svezati s njima nakon ovih dana", Gospodin govori: "Zakone ću svoje staviti u njihova srca i upisati ih u dušu njihovu.

¹⁷“I will remember their sins and their iniquities no more.” Jeremiah 31:34

¹⁷I grijeha se njihovih i bezakonja njihovih neću više spominjati."

¹⁸Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.

¹⁸A gdje su grijesi oprošteni, nema više prinosa za njih.

¹⁹Having therefore, brothers, boldness to enter into the holy place by the blood of Jesus,

¹⁹Imamo dakle, braćo, slobodan ulaz u Svetinju po krvi Isusovoj -

²⁰by the way which he dedicated for us, a new and living way, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;

²⁰put nov i živ što nam ga On otvori kroz zavjesu, to jest svoje tijelo;

²¹and having a great priest over God’s house,

²¹imamo i Velikog svećenika nad kućom Božjom.

²²let’s draw near with a true heart in fullness of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and having our body washed with pure water,

²²Pristupajmo stoga s istinitim srcem u punini vjere, srdaca škropljenjem očišćenih od zle savjesti i tijela oprana čistom vodom.

²³let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering; for he who promised is faithful.

²³Čuvajmo nepokolebljivu vjeru nade jer je vjeran Onaj koji dade obećanje.

²⁴Let us consider how to provoke one another to love and good works,

²⁴I pazimo jedni na druge da se potičemo na ljubav i dobra djela

²⁵not forsaking our own assembling together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting one another; and so much the more, as you see the Day approaching.

²⁵te ne propuštamo svojih sastanaka, kako je u nekih običaj, nego se hrabrimo, to više što više vidite da se bliži Dan.

²⁶For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more a sacrifice for sins,

²⁶Jer ako svojevoljno griješimo pošto primismo spoznanje istine, nema više žrtve za grijehe,

²⁷but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and a fierceness of fire which will devour the adversaries.

²⁷nego strašno isčekivanje suda i bijesa ognja što će proždrijeti protivnike.

²⁸A man who disregards Moses’ law dies without compassion on the word of two or three witnesses.

²⁸Je li tko prekršio Zakon Mojsijev, bez milosrđa biva pogubljen na osnovi dvojice ili trojice svjedoka.

²⁹How much worse punishment, do you think, will he be judged worthy of, who has trodden under foot the Son of God, and has counted the blood of the covenant with which he was sanctified an unholy thing, and has insulted the Spirit of grace?

²⁹Zamislite koliko li će goru kaznu zavrijediti tko Sina Božjega pogazi, i nečistom smatra krv Saveza kojom je posvećen, i Duha milosti pogrdi?

³⁰For we know him who said, “Vengeance belongs to me,” says the Lord, “I will repay.” Deuteronomy 32:35 Again, “The Lord will judge his people.” Deuteronomy 32:36; Psalm 135:14

³⁰Ta poznajemo Onoga koji je rekao: Moja je odmazda, ja ću je vratiti; i još: Sudit će Gospodin svome puku.

³¹It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

³¹Strašno je upasti u ruke Boga živoga.

³²But remember the former days, in which, after you were enlightened, you endured a great struggle with sufferings;

³²A spomenite se onih prvih dana kada ste, tek prosvijetljeni, izdržali veliku patničku borbu:

³³partly, being exposed to both reproaches and oppressions; and partly, becoming partakers with those who were treated so.

³³ovamo javno izvrgnuti porugama i nevoljama, onamo postavši zajedničari onih s kojima se tako postupalo.

³⁴For you both had compassion on me in my chains, and joyfully accepted the plundering of your possessions, knowing that you have for yourselves a better possession and an enduring one in the heavens.

³⁴I doista, sa sužnjevima ste suosjećali i s radošću prihvatili otimanje dobara znajući da imate bolji, trajan posjed.

³⁵Therefore don’t throw away your boldness, which has a great reward.

³⁵Ne gubite dakle pouzdanja! Pripada mu velika plaća!

³⁶For you need endurance so that, having done the will of God, you may receive the promise.

³⁶Postojanosti vam uistinu treba da biste vršeći volju Božju zadobili obećano.

³⁷“In a very little while, he who comes will come, and will not wait.

³⁷Jer još malo, sasvim malo, i Onaj koji dolazi doći će i neće zakasniti

³⁸But the righteous will live by faith. If he shrinks back, my soul has no pleasure in him.” Habakkuk 2:3-4

³⁸A pravednik će moj od vjere živjeti, ako li pak otpadne, ne mili se on duši mojoj.

³⁹But we are not of those who shrink back to destruction, but of those who have faith to the saving of the soul.

³⁹A mi nismo od onih koji otpadaju, sebi na propast, nego od onih koji vjeruju na spas duše.
