Hebrews 6
1 Therefore, let us leave behind the elementary teaching about the Christ and press on to perfection, not always laying over again a foundation of repentance for a lifeless formality, of faith in God —
Zatorej pustimo načela Kristusovega nauka, nadaljujmo k popolnosti; in ne polagajmo ponovno temelja kesanja od mrtvih del in vere v Boga,
2 teaching concerning baptisms and the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead and a final judgment. (aiōnios g166)
nauka o krščevanjih in o polaganju rok in o vstajenju mrtvih ter o večni sodbi. (aiōnios g166)
3 Yes and, with God’s help, we will.
In to bomo storili, če Bog dovoli.
4 For if those who were once for all brought into the Light, and learned to appreciate the gift from Heaven, and came to share in the Holy Spirit,
Kajti nemogoče je za tiste, ki so bili enkrat razsvetljeni in so okusili nebeški dar in so postali soudeleženci Svetega Duha
5 and learned to appreciate the beauty of the Divine Message, and the new powers of the Coming Age — (aiōn g165)
in so okusili dobro Božjo besedo in moči sveta, ki pride, (aiōn g165)
6 if those, I say, fell away, it would be impossible to bring them again to repentance; they would be crucifying the Son of God over again for themselves, and exposing him to open contempt.
če bodo odpadli, da se jih ponovno obnovi v kesanje, ker sami sebi na novo križajo Božjega Sina in ga izpostavljajo javni sramoti.
7 Ground that drinks in the showers that from time to time fall upon it, and produces vegetation useful to those for whom it is tilled, receives a blessing from God;
Kajti zemlja, ki posrka dež, ki pogosto pada nanjo in obrodi zelišča, primerna za tiste, ki so jo obdelovali, prejema blagoslov od Boga.
8 but, if it ‘bears thorns and thistles,’ it is regarded as worthless, it is in danger of being ‘cursed,’ and its end will be the fire.
Toda tista, ki rodi trnje in osat, je zavrnjena in je blizu prekletstva; katere konec je, da bo požgana.
9 But about you, dear friends, even though we speak in this way, we are confident of better things — of things that point to your Salvation.
Toda ljubljeni, mi smo glede vas prepričani o boljših stvareh in stvareh, ki spremljajo rešitev duš, čeprav tako govorimo.
10 For God is not unjust; he will not forget the work that you did, and the love that you showed for his Name, in sending help to your fellow Christians — as you are still doing.
Kajti Bog ni krivičen, da pozabi vaše delo in trud ljubezni, ki ste ga pokazali njegovemu imenu, ker ste služili svetim in še služite.
11 But our great desire is that every one of you should be equally earnest to attain to a full conviction that our hope will be fulfilled, and that you should keep that hope to the end.
In želimo, da vsak izmed vas do konca izkazuje isto vnemo k polni gotovosti upanja,
12 Then you will not show yourselves slow to learn, but you will copy those who, through faith and patience, are now entering upon the enjoyment of God’s promises.
da ne boste leni, temveč posnemovalci teh, ki zaradi vere in potrpežljivosti podedujejo obljube.
13 When God gave his promise to Abraham, since there was no one greater by whom he could swear, he swore by himself.
Kajti ko je Bog dal Abrahamu obljubo, je prisegel pri samem sebi, ker ni mogel priseči pri nikomer večjem,
14 His words were — ‘I will assuredly bless thee and increase thy numbers.’
rekoč: »Zagotovo, z blagoslavljanjem te bom blagoslovil in z množenjem te bom pomnožil.«
15 And so, after patiently waiting, Abraham obtained the fulfilment of God’s promise.
In tako je, potem ko je potrpežljivo vztrajal, dosegel obljubo.
16 Men, of course, swear by what is greater than themselves, and with them an oath is accepted as putting a matter beyond all dispute.
Kajti ljudje resnično prisegajo pri večjem; in prisega za potrditev jim je konec vsega prepira.
17 And therefore God, in his desire to show, with unmistakable plainness, to those who were to enter on the enjoyment of what he had promised, the unchangeableness of his purpose, bound himself with an oath.
V čemer je Bog, voljan dedičem obljube obilneje pokazati nespremenljivost svoje namere, to potrdil s prisego;
18 For he intended us to find great encouragement in these two unchangeable things, which make it impossible for God to prove false — we, I mean, who fled for safety where we might lay hold on the hope set before us.
da imamo z dvema nespremenljivima izjavama, v katerih je bilo za Boga nemogoče lagati, lahko močno tolažbo mi, ki smo pobegnili zaradi zatočišča, da se oprimemo upanja, postavljenega pred nas;
19 This hope is a very anchor for our souls, secure and strong, and it ‘reaches into the Sanctuary that lies behind the Curtain,’
katerega upanje imamo kakor sidro duše, tako gotovo kakor neomajno in ki vstopa v to notranjost zagrinjala;
