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,

¹A glavno u ovom izlaganju jest: takva imamo Velikog svećenika koji sjede zdesna prijestolja Veličanstva na nebesima

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

²kao bogoslužnik Svetinje i Šatora istinskoga što ga podiže Gospodin, a ne čovjek.

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.

³Doista, svaki se veliki svećenik postavlja da prinosi darove i žrtve. Odatle je potrebno da i on ima što bi prinio.

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;

⁴Svakako, da je na zemlji, ne bi bio svećenik jer postoje oni koji po Zakonu prinose darove.

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

⁵Oni služe slici i sjeni onoga nebeskoga, kako je upućen Mojsije kad se spremao praviti šator: Pazi, veli doista, načini sve po praliku koji ti je pokazan na brdu.

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.

⁶Ovako mu pak dopalo uzvišenije bogosluženje koliko je Posrednik boljega Saveza, koji je uzakonjen na boljim obećanjima.

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

⁷Da je, zbilja, onaj prvi bio besprijekoran, ne bi se drugome tražilo mjesto.

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;

⁸Doista, kudeći ih veli: Evo dolaze dani - govori Gospodin - kad ću s domom Izraelovim i s domom Judinim dovršiti novi Savez.

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.

⁹Ne Savez kakav učinih s ocima njihovim u dan kad ih uzeh za ruku da ih izvedem iz zemlje egipatske jer oni ne ustrajaše u mom Savezu pa i ja zanemarih njih - govori Gospodin.

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.

¹⁰Nego, ovo je Savez kojim ću se svezati s domom Izraelovim nakon ovih dana - govori Gospodin: Zakone ću svoje staviti u dušu njihovu i upisati ih u njihova srca. I bit ću Bog njihov, a oni narod moj.

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.

¹¹I neće više nitko učiti sugrađanina i nitko brata svoga govoreći: "Spoznaj Gospodina", ta svi će me poznavati, malo i veliko,

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

¹²jer ću se smilovati bezakonjima njihovim i grijeha se njihovih neću više spominjati.

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.

¹³Kad veli novi, ostari onaj prvi. Što pak stÓari i dotrajava, blizu je nestanku.
