¹Therefore we ought to pay greater attention to the things that were heard, lest perhaps we drift away.

¹Zato treba da mi svesrdnije prianjamo uz ono što čusmo da ne bismo promašili.

²For if the word spoken through angels proved steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense;

²Jer ako je riječ po anđelima izrečena bila čvrsta te je svaki prijestup i neposluh primio pravednu plaću,

³how will we escape if we neglect so great a salvation—which at the first having been spoken through the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard;

³kako li ćemo mi umaći ako zanemarimo toliko spasenje? Spasenje koje je počeo propovijedati Gospodin, koje su nam potvrdili slušatelji,

⁴God also testifying with them, both by signs and wonders, by various works of power, and by gifts of the Holy Spirit, according to his own will?

⁴a suposvjedočio Bog znamenjima i čudesima, najrazličitijim silnim djelima i darivanjima Duha Svetoga po svojoj volji.

⁵For he didn’t subject the world to come, of which we speak, to angels.

⁵Nije doista anđelima podložio budući svijet o kojem govorimo.

⁶But one has somewhere testified, saying, “What is man, that you think of him? Or the son of man, that you care for him?

⁶Netko negdje posvjedoči: Što je čovjek da ga se spominješ, sin čovječji te ga pohađaš.

⁷You made him a little lower than the angels. You crowned him with glory and honor. TR adds “and set him over the works of your hands”

⁷Ti ga tek za malo učini manjim od anđela, slavom i časti njega ovjenča,

⁸You have put all things in subjection under his feet.” Psalm 8:4-6 For in that he subjected all things to him, he left nothing that is not subject to him. But now we don’t see all things subjected to him, yet.

⁸njemu pod noge sve podloži. Kad mu, doista, sve podloži, ništa ne ostavi što mu ne bi bilo podloženo. Sad još ne vidimo da mu je sve podloženo,

⁹But we see him who has been made a little lower than the angels, Jesus, because of the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that by the grace of God he should taste of death for everyone.

⁹ali Njega, za malo manjeg od anđela, Isusa, vidimo zbog pretrpljene smrti slavom i časti ovjenčana da milošću Božjom bude svakome na korist što je on smrt okusio.

¹⁰For it became him, for whom are all things, and through whom are all things, in bringing many children to glory, to make the author of their salvation perfect through sufferings.

¹⁰Dolikovalo je doista da Onaj radi kojega je sve i po kojemu je sve - kako bi mnoge sinove priveo k slavi - po patnjama do savršenstva dovede Početnika njihova spasenja.

¹¹For both he who sanctifies and those who are sanctified are all from one, for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brothers The word for “brothers” here and where context allows may also be correctly translated “brothers and sisters” or “siblings.” ,

¹¹Ta i Posvetitelj i posvećeni - svi su od jednoga! Zato se on i ne stidi zvati ih braćom,

¹²saying, “I will declare your name to my brothers. In the midst of the congregation I will sing your praise.” Psalm 22:22

¹²kad veli: Braći ću svojoj naviještat ime tvoje, hvalit ću te usred zbora.

¹³Again, “I will put my trust in him.” Isaiah 8:17 Again, “Behold, here I am with the children whom God has given me.” Isaiah 8:18

¹³I još: Ja ću se u njega uzdati, i još: Evo, ja i djeca koju mi Bog dade.

¹⁴Since then the children have shared in flesh and blood, he also himself in the same way partook of the same, that through death he might bring to nothing him who had the power of death, that is, the devil,

¹⁴Pa budući da djeca imaju zajedničku krv i meso, i sam on tako postade u tome sudionikom da smrću obeskrijepi onoga koji imaše moć smrti, to jest đavla,

¹⁵and might deliver all of them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.

¹⁵pa oslobodi one koji - od straha pred smrću - kroza sav život bijahu podložni ropstvu.

¹⁶For most certainly, he doesn’t give help to angels, but he gives help to the seed of Abraham.

¹⁶Ta ne zauzima se dašto za anđele, nego se zauzima za potomstvo Abrahamovo.

¹⁷Therefore he was obligated in all things to be made like his brothers, that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make atonement for the sins of the people.

¹⁷Stoga je trebalo da u svemu postane braći sličan, da milosrdan bude i ovjerovljen Veliki svećenik u odnosu prema Bogu kako bi okajavao grijehe naroda.

¹⁸For in that he himself has suffered being tempted, he is able to help those who are tempted.

¹⁸Doista, u čemu je iskušan trpio, može iskušavanima pomoći.
