Hebrews 4

Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.

Bojmo se dakle da se, dok ostaje obećanje o ulasku u njegov Počinak, za koga od vas ne bi utvrdilo kako je zakasnio.

For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.

Jer nama je naviještena blagovijest kao i njima, ali njima Riječ poruke nije uskoristila jer se vjerom nisu pridružili onima koji su poslušali.

For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.

U Počinak doista ulazimo mi koji povjerovasmo, prema onom što je rekao: Tako se zakleh u svom gnjevu: Nikad neće ući u moj počinak, premda su djela od postanka svijeta dovršena.

For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.

Rekao je doista negdje o sedmom danu ovako: I počinu Bog sedmoga dana od svih djela svojih.

And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest.

A ovdje opet: Nikad neće ući u moj počinak.

Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief:

Preostaje dakle da neki imaju u nj ući, a oni koji su prvi primili blagovijest ne uđoše zbog nepokornosti.

Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.

Zato Bog ponovno određuje jedan dan, Danas, u Davidu nakon toliko vremena govoreći, kako je već rečeno: Danas ako glas mu čujete, ne budite srca tvrda.

For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day.

Zbilja, da je Jošua njih u Počinak uveo, ne bi Bog nakon toga govorio o drugome danu.

There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.

Dakle: preostaje neki subotni počinak narodu Božjemu!

For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.

Zaista, tko uđe u njegov počinak, počinuo je od djela svojih kao ono i Bog od svojih.

Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.

Pohitimo dakle ući u taj Počinak da nitko ne padne po uzoru na takvu nepokornost.

For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

Živa je, uistinu, Riječ Božja i djelotvorna; oštrija je od svakoga dvosjekla mača; prodire dotle da dijeli dušu i duh, zglobove i moždinu te prosuđuje nakane i misli srca.

Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.

Nema stvorenja njoj skrivena. Sve je, naprotiv, golo i razgoljeno očima Onoga komu nam je dati račun.

Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.

Imajući dakle velikoga Velikog svećenika koji prodrije kroz nebesa - Isusa, Sina Božjega - čvrsto se držimo vjere.

For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.

Ta nemamo takva Velikog svećenika koji ne bi mogao biti supatnik u našim slabostima, nego poput nas iskušavana svime, osim grijehom.

Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

Pristupajmo dakle smjelo Prijestolju milosti da primimo milosrđe i milost nađemo za pomoć u pravi čas!
