Hebrews 12
1 We [know about] many people like that [who showed they trusted in God]. They are like a crowd of spectators [who are cheering for us inside a stadium] [MET]. Knowing that, we must put away all the things that hinder us, [as a runner puts aside everything that would hinder him because they are heavy] [MET]. Especially we must put away sinful actions that [hinder us, as a runner] sets aside clothes he does not need, clothes that would entangle him [MET]. Let us [wholeheartedly strive to achieve what God has planned for us, as someone] in a race wholeheartedly runs the course that is before him [MET].
Следователно и ние, като сме обиколени от такъв голям облак свидетели, нека отхвърлим всяка тегота и греха, който лесно ни сплита, и с търпение нека тичаме на предлежащето пред нас поприще,
2 And let us [keep our minds on] Jesus, [as a runner] keeps his eyes on [the goal] [MET]. Jesus is the one we should imitate in the way he perfectly trusted [God. When he died on] the cross he endured it as he suffered greatly [MTY], instead of [thinking about the things he would] rejoice about [later]. He disregarded being disgraced by [dying that way]. He is now sitting at the place of highest honor [MTY] at the throne [where God rules].
като гледаме на Исуса начинателя и усъвършителя на вярата ни, Който, заради предстоящата Нему радост, издържа кръст, като презря срама и седна отдясно на Божия престол.
3 [Jesus] patiently endured it when sinful people acted so hostilely against him. Try to act the way he did, so that you do not give up [trusting] God or become discouraged.
Защото размислете за Този, Който издържа от грешните такова противоречие против Себе Си, та да ви не дотегва и да не ставате малодушни,
4 While you have struggled against [being tempted to] sin, you have not yet bled [and died because of resisting evil, as Jesus did].
Не сте се още съпротивили до кръв в борбата си против греха.
5 Do not forget [RHQ] these words [that Solomon spoke to his son, that are the same as God] would exhort you as his children: My child, pay attention [LIT] when the Lord is disciplining you, and do not be discouraged when the Lord punishes you [DOU],
И сте забравили увещанието, което ви съветва като синове: "Сине мой, не презирай наказанието на Господа, Нито да ослабваш, когато те изобличава Той;
6 because it is everyone whom he loves whom the Lord disciplines, and he punishes everyone whom he accepts as his child.
Защото Господ наказва този, когото люби, И бие всеки син, когото приема",
7 It is in order that God may discipline you that he requires you to endure the disagreeable things [that happen to you]. [When God disciplines you] he is treating you as a father treats his children. All fathers [RHQ] discipline their children [LIT].
Ако търпите наказание, Бог се обхожда с вас като със синове; защото кой е тоя син, когото баща му не наказва?
8 So, if you have not experienced God disciplining you just like he disciplines all his other children, you are [not true children of God] [MET]. [You are like] illegitimate children; [no father disciplines them].
Но ако сте без наказание, на което всички са били определени да участвуват, тогава сте незаконно родени, а не синове.
9 Furthermore, our natural fathers disciplined us [when we were young], and we respected them for doing that. So we should certainly more readily accept God our spiritual Father disciplining us, with the result that we live eternally [RHQ]!
Освен това, имали сме бащи по плът, които са ни наказвали, и сме ги почитали; не щем ли повече да се покоряваме на Отца на духовете ни и да живеем?
10 Our natural fathers disciplined us for a short time in a way that they considered right, [but it wasn’t always right], but God always disciplines us [in a right way], to help us. He does it so that we may be holy as he is.
Защото те за малко време са ни наказвали, според както им е било угодно, а Той
11 During the time that God is disciplining us, that does not seem to be something about which we should rejoice. Instead, it is something that pains us. But later it causes those who have learned from it to be peaceful and to [live] righteously.
Никое наказание не се вижда на времето да е за радост, а е тежко; но после принася правда като мирен плод за тия, които са се обучавали чрез него.
12 So, [instead of acting as though you were spiritually exhausted], renew yourselves [MET] spiritually.
Затова "укрепете немощните ръце и отслабналите колена",
13 Go straight forward [in your Christian life] [MET], in order that believers who are uncertain about their faith [will imitate you] and not ([leave God’s way/] useless [to God]) [MET]. Instead, they will be spiritually restored [MET] as an injured and useless limb is restored.
и направете за нозете си прави пътища, за да не се изкълчи куцото, но напротив, да изцелее.
14 Try to live peacefully with all people. Seek to be holy, since no one will see the Lord if he is not holy.
Търсете мир с всички и онова освещение, без което никой няма да види Господа.
15 Beware that none of you stops [trusting in] God, [who has done kind things for us that we did not deserve] (OR, Beware that you have never [experienced] God kindly [saving you]). Be on guard lest any of you [act in an evil way towards others], because your doing that will [grow like] [MET] a root [grows into a big plant], and the result [of your] doing that will be that many believers will sin and become unacceptable to God.
И внимавайте, да не би някой да не достигне до Божията благодат; да не би да поникне някой горчив корен, та да ви смущава, и мнозинството да се зарази от него;
16 Do not let anyone be immoral, or be irreligious as Esau was. He exchanged the rights he had as a firstborn son for only one meal.
да не би някой да е блудник или нечестив, както Исав, който за едно ястие продаде първородството си;
17 You know that after he did that, he wanted to receive [what his father would promise to give him if] he blessed him. But [his father] was unable [to change what he had already done]. And Esau found no way to change things, even though he sought tearfully to do that.
понеже знаете, че даже когато искаше по-после да наследи благословението, той бе отхвърлен, при все че го потърси със сълзи, защото не намери място за промяна на ума у баща си.
18 In coming [to God] you have not [experienced things like what the Israeli people experienced] at [Sinai] Mountain. [They] approached [a mountain that God told them they] should not touch. [They approached] a blazing fire, and it was gloomy and dark [DOU], and there was a hurricane/cyclone.
Защото вие не сте пристъпили до планина осезаема и пламнала в огън, нито до тъмнина и буря,
19 They heard a trumpet sounding and they heard [God] speak. The result was that those who heard it pleaded for God not to speak to them like that again.
нито до тръбен звук и глас на думи; такъв, щото ония, които го чуха, се примолиха да им се не говори вече дума;
20 When [God] commanded them saying, “If [a person or] even an animal touches this mountain, [you] must [kill him/it by] throwing stones at him/it,” they were terrified.
(защото не можаха да изтърпят онова, що им се заповядваше: "Даже животно, ако се допре до планината, ще се убие с камъни";
21 Truly, because Moses was terrified after seeing what happened [on the mountain], he said, “I am trembling because I am very afraid!”
и толкоз страшна беше гледката, щото Моисей рече: "Много съм уплашен и разтреперан");
22 Instead, [it is as though] you have come to [the presence of God in heaven] [MET]. [That is like what your ancestors did when they came to worship] God on Zion Hill, in Jerusalem, in the city of God who is all-powerful. You have come (OR, you are coming) to where there are countless angels, who are rejoicing as they have gathered together.
но пристъпихме до хълма Сион, до града на живия Бог, небесния Ерусалим, и при десетки хиляди тържествуващи ангели,
23 You have joined all the believers [who have privileges like] firstborn sons, whose names [God] has written down in heaven. You have come to God, who will judge everyone. You have come to where the spirits of God’s people are, people who lived righteously [before they died], and who now have been made perfect [in heaven].
при събора на първородните, които са записани на небесата, при Бога, Съдията на всички, при духовете на усъвършенствуваните праведници,
24 You have come to Jesus, who arranged a new covenant [between us and God]. You have accepted [what he accomplished when] his blood flowed [when he died on the cross. His doing that made it possible for God to forgive us]. That is better than the blood of Abel, [who just] wanted revenge because his brother Cain murdered him.
при Исуса, Посредника на новия завет, и при поръсената кръв, която говори по-добри неща от Авеловата.
25 Beware that you do not refuse to listen to [God] who is speaking to you. The Israeli people did not escape [God punishing them] when [Moses] (OR, [God]) warned them here on earth. So we shall surely not escape [God punishing us] if we reject him when he warns us from heaven! [RHQ]
Внимавайте, да не презрете този, Който говори; защото, ако ония не избегнаха наказанието, като презряха този, който ги предупреждаваше на земята, то колко повече не щем избегна ние, ако се отървем от Този, Който предупреждава от небесата!
26 The earth shook [PRS] then when he spoke [MTY] [at Sinai Mountain]. But now he has promised, “I will shake the earth again, one more time, but I will shake heaven too.”
Чийто глас разтърси тогава земята; а сега Той се обеща, казвайки: "Още веднъж Аз ще разтърся не само земята, но и небето".
27 The words “again, one more time” indicate that things [on earth] will be shaken {that [he] will shake things [on earth]}, meaning that he will set aside all that [he] has created, in order that the things [in heaven] that cannot be shaken {that nothing can shake} may remain forever.
А това "още еднаж" означава премахването на ония неща, които се клатят, като направени неща, за да останат тия, които не се клатят.
28 So, let us thank God that we are becoming members of a kingdom that nothing can shake. Let us worship/serve God in a way that pleases him by being greatly in awe [DOU] before him.
Затова, понеже приемаме царство, което не се клати, нека бъдем благодарни, и така да служим благоугодно Богу с благоговение и страхопочитание;
29 Remember that the God we [worship/serve] is like a fire that burns up everything [that is impure] [MET]!
защото нашият Бог е огън, който пояжда.
