Hebrews 12
1 Therefore let’s also, seeing we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let’s run with perseverance the race that is set before us,
Zato tudi mi torej, ker imamo tako silo prič okrog sebe, vrzimo raz sebe vsako breme in greh, ki nas lahko obdá, ter prebimo v stanovitnosti naloženi nam boj;
2 looking to Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising its shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Ozirajoč se v začetnika in izpolnjevalca vere Jezusa, kateri je za namenjeno mu veselje križ pretrpel, ne meneč se za sramoto in sedel na desnico Božjega prestola.
3 For consider him who has endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, that you don’t grow weary, fainting in your souls.
Pomislite namreč njega, ki je toliko prestal od grešnikov nasprotovanja proti sebi, da ne omagata pešajoč v dušah svojih.
4 You have not yet resisted to blood, striving against sin.
Še niste do krvi ustavljali se v boji z grehom,
5 You have forgotten the exhortation which reasons with you as with children, “My son, don’t take lightly the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when you are reproved by him;
In pozabili ste tolažbe, katera z vami kakor sè sinovi govori: "Sin moj, ne puščaj v nemar pokore Gospodove, in ne omaguj, ko te kara.
6 for whom the Lord loves, he disciplines, and chastises every son whom he receives.”
Kogar namreč ljubi, pokori Gospod, in šiba vsakega sina, kateri mu je po volji."
7 It is for discipline that you endure. God deals with you as with children, for what son is there whom his father doesn’t discipline?
Ako trpite pokoro, kaže se vam Bog kakor otrokom; kajti kje je sin, katerega ne pokori oče?
8 But if you are without discipline, of which all have been made partakers, then you are illegitimate, and not children.
Ako ste pa brez pokore, katere so deležni postali vsi, torej ste nezakonski otroci in ne sinovi.
9 Furthermore, we had the fathers of our flesh to chasten us, and we paid them respect. Shall we not much rather be in subjection to the Father of spirits and live?
Dalje: mesa svojega očete smo imeli za pokoritelje in bali smo se jih, ali ne bodemo mnogo bolj podložni očetu duhov ter živeli?
10 For they indeed for a few days disciplined us as seemed good to them, but he for our profit, that we may be partakers of his holiness.
Kajti oni so nas pokorili za malo dnî, kakor se jim je ljubilo, tá pa v korist, da bodemo deležni svetosti njegove.
11 All chastening seems for the present to be not joyous but grievous; yet afterward it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.
Vsaka pokora pa se za sedaj ne zdí prijetna, nego da boli, pozneje pa daje njim, ki jih je vadila, miropolni sad pravice.
12 Therefore lift up the hands that hang down and the feeble knees,
Zato dvignite omahujoče roke in šibeča se kolena,"
13 and make straight paths for your feet, so what is lame may not be dislocated, but rather be healed.
In "ravne tire delajte sè svojimi nogami," da se hromo ne izključi, nego ozdravi.
14 Follow after peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no man will see the Lord,
Iščite mirú z vsemi, in posvečevanja, brez katerega nihče ne bode videl Gospoda;
15 looking carefully lest there be any man who falls short of the grace of God, lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you and many be defiled by it,
Pazite, da kdo ne zaostane za milostjo Božjo, da ne požene kaka bridkosti korenina in ne dela napotja, in jih mnogo ne oskruni;
16 lest there be any sexually immoral person or profane person, like Esau, who sold his birthright for one meal.
Da ne bode kdo kurbir ali posvetnjak kakor Ezav, kateri je za eno jed prodal prvorojenstvo svoje;
17 For you know that even when he afterward desired to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no place for a change of mind though he sought it diligently with tears.
Kajti veste, da je tudi, ko je pozneje hotel zadobiti blagoslov, zavržen bil; kajti kosanju ni našel mesta, da si ga je sè solzami iskal.
18 For you have not come to a mountain that might be touched and that burned with fire, and to blackness, darkness, storm,
Kajti pristopili niste k dotakljivi gori in z ognjem goreči in oblačju in temi in nevihti,
19 the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which those who heard it begged that not one more word should be spoken to them,
In trombe donenju in glasu beséd, katerega poslušalci so se branili, da se jim pridene beseda;
20 for they could not stand that which was commanded, “If even an animal touches the mountain, it shall be stoned”.
(Niso namreč prenašali ukaza. "Če se tudi žival dotakne gore, bode kamenjena ali sè strelo pobita".
21 So fearful was the appearance that Moses said, “I am terrified and trembling.”
In, tako strašna je bila prikazen, Mojzes je rekel: V strahu sem in trepetu; )
22 But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable multitudes of angels,
Temuč pristopili ste h gori Sijonski in mestu Boga živega, Jeruzalemu nebeškemu, in mirijadam angelov,
23 to the festal gathering and assembly of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect,
Zboru in občini prvorojencev v nebesih zapisanih, in Bogu vseh sodniku, in duhovom pravičnih zveličanih,
24 to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better than that of Abel.
In nove zaveze sredniku Jezusu, in krvi pokropljenja, boljše govoreči mimo Abelna.
25 See that you don’t refuse him who speaks. For if they didn’t escape when they refused him who warned on the earth, how much more will we not escape who turn away from him who warns from heaven,
Glejte, da se ne branite govorečega; če namreč oni niso ubežali, kateri so branili se ukazujočega na zemlji, veliko menj mi, ki se obračamo od njega, kateri je z nebes.
26 whose voice shook the earth then, but now he has promised, saying, “Yet once more I will shake not only the earth, but also the heavens.”
Glas njegov je zemljo potresel tedaj, sedaj pa je obljubil govoreč: "Še enkrat stresam jaz ne samo zemlje, nego tudi nebo".
27 This phrase, “Yet once more” signifies the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that have been made, that those things which are not shaken may remain.
Tisto: "še enkrat" pomeni premembo tistega, kar je bilo potreseno, kakor kaj narejenega; da ostane kar je nepotreseno.
28 Therefore, receiving a Kingdom that can’t be shaken, let’s have grace, through which we serve God acceptably, with reverence and awe,
Zato, prejemši kraljestvo nepotresno, imejmo hvaležnost, po kateri služimo po volji Bogu sè svetim strahom in grozo;
29 for our God is a consuming fire.
Kajti tudi "Bog naš je ogenj, ki pali".
