PT1904 Patriarchal Text 1904 (accented, eBible edition)
1 Jer zakon imajući sen dobara koja će doći, a ne samo obličje stvari, ne može nikada savršiti one koji pristupaju svake godine i prinose one iste žrtve.
1 For the law, having a shadow of the good to come, not the very image of the things, can never with the same sacrifices year by year, which they offer continually, make perfect those who draw near.
1 Σκιὰν γὰρ ἔχων ὁ νόμος τῶν μελλόντων ἀγαθῶν, οὐκ αὐτὴν τὴν εἰκόνα τῶν πραγμάτων, κατ᾽ ἐνιαυτὸν ταῖς αὐταῖς θυσίαις ἃς προσφέρουσιν εἰς τὸ διηνεκές, οὐδέποτε δύναται τοὺς προσερχομένους τελειῶσαι·
2 Inače bi se prestale prinositi se, kad oni koji služe ne bi više imali nikakve savesti za grehe, kad se jednom očiste;
2 Or else wouldn’t they have ceased to be offered, because the worshipers, having been once cleansed, would have had no more consciousness of sins?
2 ἐπεὶ οὐκ ἂν ἐπαύσαντο προσφερόμεναι, διὰ τὸ μηδεμίαν ἔχειν ἔτι συνείδησιν ἁμαρτιῶν τοὺς λατρεύοντας, ἅπαξ κεκαθαρμένους;
3 nego se njima svake godine čini spomen za grehe.
3 But in those sacrifices there is a yearly reminder of sins.
3 ἀλλ᾽ ἐν αὐταῖς ἀνάμνησις ἁμαρτιῶν κατ᾽ ἐνιαυτόν·
4 Jer krv junčija i jarčija ne može uzeti grehe.
4 For it is impossible that the blood of bulls and goats should take away sins.
4 ἀδύνατον γὰρ αἷμα ταύρων καὶ τράγων ἀφαιρεῖν ἁμαρτίας.
5◆ Zato, ulazeći u svet govori: Žrtava i darova nisi hteo, ali si mi telo pripravio.
5 Therefore when he comes into the world, he says, “You didn’t desire sacrifice and offering, but you prepared a body for me.
5 Διὸ εἰσερχόμενος εἰς τὸν κόσμον λέγει· θυσίαν καὶ προσφορὰν οὐκ ἠθέλησας, σῶμα δὲ κατηρτίσω μοι·
6◆ Žrtve i prilozi za greh nisu Ti bili ugodni.
6 You had no pleasure in whole burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin.
6 ὁλοκαυτώματα καὶ περὶ ἁμαρτίας οὐκ εὐδόκησας·
7◆ Tada rekoh: Evo dođoh, u početku knjige pisano je za mene, da učinim volju Tvoju, Bože.
7 Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come (in the scroll of the book it is written of me) to do your will, O God.’”
7 τότε εἶπον· ἰδοὺ ἥκω, ἐν κεφαλίδι βιβλίου γέγραπται περὶ ἐμοῦ, τοῦ ποιῆσαι, ὁ Θεός, τὸ θέλημά σου.
8 I više kazavši: Priloga i prinosa i žrtava, i žrtava za grehe nisi hteo, niti su Ti bili ugodni, što se po zakonu prinose;
8 Previously saying, “Sacrifices and offerings and whole burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin you didn’t desire, neither had pleasure in them” (those which are offered according to the law),
8 ἀνώτερον λέγων ὅτι θυσίαν καὶ προσφορὰν καὶ ὁλοκαυτώματα καὶ περὶ ἁμαρτίας οὐκ ἠθέλησας οὐδὲ εὐδόκησας, αἵτινες κατὰ τὸν νόμον προσφέρονται,
9 tada reče: Evo dođoh da učinim volju Tvoju, Bože. Ukida prvo da postavi drugo.
9 then he has said, “Behold, I have come to do your will.” He takes away the first, that he may establish the second,
9 τότε εἴρηκεν· ἰδοὺ ἥκω τοῦ ποιῆσαι, ὁ Θεός, τὸ θέλημά σου. ἀναιρεῖ τὸ πρῶτον ἵνα τὸ δεύτερον στήσῃ.
10 Po kojoj smo volji mi osvećeni prinosom tela Isusa Hrista jednom.
10 by which will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
10 ἐν ᾧ θελήματι ἡγιασμένοι ἐσμὲν διὰ τῆς προσφορᾶς τοῦ σώματος τοῦ Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ ἐφάπαξ.
11 I svaki sveštenik stoji svaki dan služeći i jedne žrtve mnogo puta prinoseći koje nikad ne mogu uzeti grehe.
11 Every priest indeed stands day by day serving and offering often the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins,
11 Καὶ πᾶς μὲν ἱερεὺς ἕστηκε καθ᾽ ἡμέραν λειτουργῶν καὶ τὰς αὐτὰς πολλάκις προσφέρων θυσίας, αἵτινες οὐδέποτε δύνανται περιελεῖν ἁμαρτίας·
12 A On prinesavši jedinu žrtvu za grehe sedi svagda s desne strane Bogu.
12 but he, when he had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down on the right hand of God,
12 αὐτὸς δὲ μίαν ὑπὲρ ἁμαρτιῶν προσενέγκας θυσίαν εἰς τὸ διηνεκὲς ἐκάθισεν ἐν δεξιᾷ τοῦ Θεοῦ,
13 Čekajući dalje dok se polože neprijatelji Njegovi podnožje nogama Njegovim.
13 from that time waiting until his enemies are made the footstool of his feet.
13 τὸ λοιπὸν ἐκδεχόμενος ἕως τεθῶσιν οἱ ἐχθροὶ αὐτοῦ ὑποπόδιον τῶν ποδῶν αὐτοῦ.
14 Jer jednim prinosom savršio je vavek one koji bivaju osvećeni.
14 For by one offering he has perfected forever those who are being sanctified.
14 μιᾷ γὰρ προσφορᾷ τετελείωκεν εἰς τὸ διηνεκὲς τοὺς ἁγιαζομένους.
15 A svedoči nam i Duh Sveti; jer kao što je napred kazano:
15 The Holy Spirit also testifies to us, for after saying,
15 Μαρτυρεῖ δὲ ἡμῖν καὶ τὸ Πνεῦμα τὸ Ἅγιον· μετὰ γὰρ τὸ προειρηκέναι,
16 Ovo je zavet koji ću načiniti s njima posle onih dana, govori Gospod: Daću zakone svoje u srca njihova, i u mislima njihovim napisaću ih;
16 “This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days,” says the Lord, “I will put my laws on their heart, I will also write them on their mind;” then he says,
16 αὕτη ἡ διαθήκη ἣν διαθήσομαι πρὸς αὐτοὺς μετὰ τὰς ἡμέρας ἐκείνας, λέγει Κύριος· διδοὺς νόμους μου ἐπὶ καρδίας αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐπὶ τῶν διανοιῶν αὐτῶν ἐπιγράψω αὐτούς,
17 I grehe njihove i bezakonja njihova neću više spominjati.
17 “I will remember their sins and their iniquities no more.”
17 καὶ τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν αὐτῶν καὶ τῶν ἀνομιῶν αὐτῶν οὐ μὴ μνησθῶ ἔτι.
18 A gde je oproštenje ovih onde više nema priloga za grehe.
18 Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.
18 ὅπου δὲ ἄφεσις τούτων, οὐκέτι προσφορὰ περὶ ἁμαρτίας.
19 Imajući, dakle, slobodu, braćo, ulaziti u svetinju krvlju Isusa Hrista, putem novim i živim.
19 Having therefore, brothers, boldness to enter into the holy place by the blood of Jesus,
19 Ἔχοντες οὖν, ἀδελφοί, παρρησίαν εἰς τὴν εἴσοδον τῶν Ἁγίων ἐν τῷ αἵματι τοῦ Ἰησοῦ,
20 Koji nam je obnovio zavetom, to jest telom svojim,
20 by the way which he dedicated for us, a new and living way, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh,
20 ἣν ἐνεκαίνισεν ἡμῖν ὁδὸν πρόσφατον καὶ ζῶσαν διὰ τοῦ καταπετάσματος, τοῦτ᾽ ἔστι τῆς σαρκὸς αὐτοῦ,
21 i sveštenika velikog nad domom Božijim:
21 and having a great priest over God’s house,
21 καὶ ἱερέα μέγαν ἐπὶ τὸν οἶκον τοῦ Θεοῦ,
22 Da pristupamo s istinim srcem u punoj veri, očišćeni u srcima od zle savesti, i umiveni po telu vodom čistom;
22 let’s draw near with a true heart in fullness of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and having our body washed with pure water,
22 προσερχώμεθα μετὰ ἀληθινῆς καρδίας ἐν πληροφορίᾳ πίστεως ἐρραντισμένοι τὰς καρδίας ἀπὸ συνειδήσεως πονηρᾶς,
23 da se držimo tvrdo priznanja nade: jer je veran onaj koji je obećao;
23 let’s hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering; for he who promised is faithful.
23 καὶ λελουμένοι τὸ σῶμα ὕδατι καθαρῷ κατέχωμεν τὴν ὁμολογίαν τῆς ἐλπίδος ἀκλινῆ· πιστὸς γὰρ ὁ ἐπαγγειλάμενος·
24 i da razumevamo jedan drugog u podbunjivanju k ljubavi i dobrim delima,
24 Let’s consider how to provoke one another to love and good works,
24 καὶ κατανοῶμεν ἀλλήλους εἰς παροξυσμὸν ἀγάπης καὶ καλῶν ἔργων,
25 ne ostavljajući skupštinu svoju, kao što neki imaju običaj, nego jedan drugog savetujući, toliko većma koliko vidite da se približuje dan sudni.
25 not forsaking our own assembling together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.
25 μὴ ἐγκαταλείποντες τὴν ἐπισυναγωγὴν ἑαυτῶν, καθὼς ἔθος τισίν, ἀλλὰ παρακαλοῦντες, καὶ τοσούτῳ μᾶλλον, ὅσῳ βλέπετε ἐγγίζουσαν τὴν ἡμέραν.
26 Jer kad mi grešimo namerno, pošto smo primili poznanje istine, nema više žrtve za grehe;
26 For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more a sacrifice for sins,
26 Ἑκουσίως γὰρ ἁμαρτανόντων ἡμῶν μετὰ τὸ λαβεῖν τὴν ἐπίγνωσιν τῆς ἀληθείας, οὐκέτι περὶ ἁμαρτιῶν ἀπολείπεται θυσία,
27 nego strašno čekanje suda, i revnost ognja koji će da pojede one koji se suprote.
27 but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and a fierceness of fire which will devour the adversaries.
27 φοβερὰ δέ τις ἐκδοχὴ κρίσεως καὶ πυρὸς ζῆλος ἐσθίειν μέλλοντος τοὺς ὑπεναντίους.
28 Ko prestupi zakon Mojsijev, bez milosti umire kod dva ili tri svedoka.
28 A man who disregards Moses’ law dies without compassion on the word of two or three witnesses.
28 ἀθετήσας τις νόμον Μωϋσέως χωρὶς οἰκτιρμῶν ἐπὶ δυσὶν ἢ τρισὶ μάρτυσιν ἀποθνήσκει·
29 Koliko mislite da će gore muke zaslužiti onaj koji sina Božijeg pogazi, i krv zaveta kojom se osveti za poganu uzdrži, i Duha blagodati naruži?
29 How much worse punishment do you think he will be judged worthy of who has trodden under foot the Son of God, and has counted the blood of the covenant with which he was sanctified an unholy thing, and has insulted the Spirit of grace?
29 πόσῳ δοκεῖτε χείρονος ἀξιωθήσεται τιμωρίας ὁ τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ Θεοῦ καταπατήσας καὶ τὸ αἷμα τῆς διαθήκης κοινὸν ἡγησάμενος, ἐν ᾧ ἡγιάσθη, καὶ τὸ Πνεῦμα τῆς χάριτος ἐνυβρίσας;
30 Jer znamo Onog koji reče: Moja je osveta, ja ću vratiti, govori Gospod; i opet: Gospod će suditi narodu svom.
30 For we know him who said, “Vengeance belongs to me. I will repay,” says the Lord. Again, “The Lord will judge his people.”
30 οἴδαμεν γὰρ τὸν εἰπόντα· ἐμοὶ ἐκδίκησις, ἐγὼ ἀνταποδώσω[, λέγει Κύριος]· καὶ πάλιν· Κύριος κρινεῖ τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ.
31 Strašno je upasti u ruke Boga Živoga.
31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
31 φοβερὸν τὸ ἐμπεσεῖν εἰς χεῖρας Θεοῦ ζῶντος.
32 Opominjite se, pak, prvih dana svojih, u koje se prosvetliste i mnogu borbu stradanja podnesoste,
32 But remember the former days, in which, after you were enlightened, you endured a great struggle with sufferings:
32 Ἀναμιμνήσκεσθε δὲ τὰς πρότερον ἡμέρας, ἐν αἷς φωτισθέντες πολλὴν ἄθλησιν ὑπεμείνατε παθημάτων,
33 koje postavši gledanje sa sramota i nevolja, a koje postavši drugovi onima koji žive tako.
33 partly, being exposed to both reproaches and oppressions, and partly, becoming partakers with those who were treated so.
33 τοῦτο μὲν ὀνειδισμοῖς τε καὶ θλίψεσι θεατριζόμενοι, τοῦτο δὲ κοινωνοὶ τῶν οὕτως ἀναστρεφομένων γενηθέντες.
34 Jer se na okove moje sažaliste, i dadoste s radošću da se razgrabi vaše imanje, znajući da imate sebi imanje bolje i nepropadljivo na nebesima.
34 For you both had compassion on me in my chains and joyfully accepted the plundering of your possessions, knowing that you have for yourselves a better possession and an enduring one in the heavens.
34 καὶ γὰρ τοῖς δεσμοῖς μου συνεπαθήσατε καὶ τὴν ἁρπαγὴν τῶν ὑπαρχόντων ὑμῶν μετὰ χαρᾶς προσεδέξασθε, γινώσκοντες ἔχειν ἐν ἑαυτοῖς κρείττονα ὕπαρξιν ἐν οὐρανοῖς καὶ μένουσαν.
35 Ne odbacujte, dakle, slobodu svoju, koja ima veliku platu.
35 Therefore don’t throw away your boldness, which has a great reward.
35 Μὴ ἀποβάλητε οὖν τὴν παρρησίαν ὑμῶν, ἥτις ἔχει μισθαποδοσίαν μεγάλην.
36 Jer vam je trpljenje od potrebe da volju Božiju savršivši primite obećanje.
36 For you need endurance so that, having done the will of God, you may receive the promise.
36 ὑπομονῆς γὰρ ἔχετε χρείαν, ἵνα τὸ θέλημα τοῦ Θεοῦ ποιήσαντες κομίσησθε τὴν ἐπαγγελίαν.
37 Jer još malo, vrlo malo, pa će doći Onaj koji treba da dođe i neće odocniti.
37 “In a very little while, he who comes will come and will not wait.
37 ἔτι γὰρ μικρὸν ὅσον ὅσον, ὁ ἐρχόμενος ἥξει καὶ οὐ χρονιεῖ.
38 A pravednik živeće od vere; ako li odstupi neće biti po volji moje duše.
38 But the righteous one will live by faith. If he shrinks back, my soul has no pleasure in him.”
38 ὁ δὲ δίκαιος ἐκ πίστεως ζήσεται· καὶ ἐὰν ὑποστείληται, οὐκ εὐδοκεῖ ἡ ψυχή μου ἐν αὐτῷ.
39 A mi, braćo, nismo od onih koji odstupaju na pogibao, nego od onih koji veruju da spasu duše.
39 But we are not of those who shrink back to destruction, but of those who have faith to the saving of the soul.
39 ἡμεῖς δὲ οὐκ ἐσμὲν ὑποστολῆς εἰς ἀπώλειαν, ἀλλὰ πίστεως εἰς περιποίησιν ψυχῆς.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

  1. Commentary 10:8 John Chrysostom, Homilies on Hebrews (Homily XVIII)

    In what has gone before he had shown that the sacrifices were unavailing for perfect purification, and were a type, and greatly defective. Since then there was this objection to his argument, If they are types, how is it that, after the truth is come, they have not ceased, nor given place, but are still performed?

    … incur danger, or are deprived of their goods, but of these also, thus saying, "Call to remembrance the former days, in which after ye were illuminated ye endured a great fight of afflictions; partly whilst ye were made a gazing stock by reproaches, and afflictions." On this account then Christ hath appointed the reward also to be great.
