1 STF Jer ovaj Melhisedek, car salimski, sveљtenik Boga najviљega, koji srete Avrama kad se vraжaљe posle pobede nad carevima i blagoslovi ga, BSB BSB: This Melchizedek was king of Salem and priest of God Most High. He met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him,
2 STF kome Avram dade i desetak od svega, иije ime, prevedeno, znaиi car pravedni, a koji se zove i car salimski, t.j. car mira, BSB BSB: and Abraham apportioned to him a tenth of everything. First, his name means “king of righteousness.” Then also, “king of Salem” means “king of peace.”
3 STF baz oca, bez matere, bez rodoslovlja, ne imajuжi ni poиetka danima ni svrљetka ћivotu, sliиan Sinu Boћjem, ostaje sveљtenik do veka. BSB BSB: Without father or mother or genealogy, without beginning of days or end of life, like the Son of God, he remains a priest for all time.
4 STF Pogledajte samo koliki je ovaj kome Avram, patrijarh, dade desetak od plena! BSB BSB: Consider how great Melchizedek was: Even the patriarch Abraham gave him a tenth of the plunder.
5 STF Istina, i oni od sinova Levijevih koji su sveљtenici, imaju zapovest da uzimaju po zakonu desetak od naroda, t.j. od braжe svoje, iako su (i ovi) iziљli iz bedara Avramovih. BSB BSB: Now the law commands the sons of Levi who become priests to collect a tenth from the people—that is, from their brothers—though they too are descended from Abraham.
6 STF Ali onaj koji nije bio od njihova roda, uzeo je desetak od Avrama i blagoslovio je onoga koji je imao obeжanje. BSB BSB: But Melchizedek, who did not trace his descent from Levi, collected a tenth from Abraham and blessed him who had the promises.
7 STF A nema sumnje da veжe blagosilja manje. BSB BSB: And indisputably, the lesser is blessed by the greater.
8 STF I ovde uzimaju desetak ljudi koji umiru, a onde onaj za koga se svedoиi da ћivi. BSB BSB: In the case of the Levites, mortal men collect the tenth; but in the case of Melchizedek, it is affirmed that he lives on.
9 STF I, da tako kaћem, kroz Avrama je i Levije, koji uzima desetak, dao desetak: BSB BSB: And so to speak, Levi, who collects the tenth, paid the tenth through Abraham.
10 STF Jer beљe joљ u bedrima oиinim kad ovoga srete Melhisedek. BSB BSB: For when Melchizedek met Abraham, Levi was still in the loin of his ancestor.
11 STF Da je, dakle, (veж) levitsko sveљtenstvo donelo savrљenstvo- jer je narod pod njim dobio zakon-, kakva bi onda joљ potreba bila postavljati drugog sveљtenika, "kao љto je Melhisedek", a ne zvati ga "kao љto je Aron"? BSB BSB: Now if perfection could have been attained through the Levitical priesthood (for on this basis the people received the law), why was there still need for another priest to appear—one in the order of Melchizedek and not in the order of Aaron?
12 STF Jer, kad se menja sveљtenstvo, mora se i zakon promeniti. BSB BSB: For when the priesthood is changed, the law must be changed as well.
13 STF Jer za koga se ovo govori, od drugoga je plemena, od koga niko nije sluћio kod ћrtvenika. BSB BSB: He of whom these things are said belonged to a different tribe, from which no one has ever served at the altar.
15 STF I joљ je mnogo jasnije, kad se postavlja drugi sveљtenik, sliиan Melhisedeku, BSB BSB: And this point is even more clear if another priest like Melchizedek appears,
16 STF koji to nije postao po zakonu ljudske zapovesti, nego po sili ћivota veиnoga. BSB BSB: one who has become a priest not by a law of succession, but by the power of an indestructible life.
17 STF Jer stoji: "Ti si sveљtenik veиni, kao љto je Melhisedek". BSB BSB: For it is testified: “You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.”
18 STF Ukida se, naime, preрaљnja zapovest, љto je bila slaba i zaludna; BSB BSB: So the former commandment is set aside because it was weak and useless
19 STF jer zakon nije niљta savrљio. Ali se uvodi bolja nada, kroz koju se pribliћujemo Bogu. BSB BSB: (for the law made nothing perfect), and a better hope is introduced, by which we draw near to God.
20 STF I ukoliko ne bez zakletve,- jer su oni drugi bez zakletve postali sveљtenici, BSB BSB: And none of this happened without an oath. For others became priests without an oath,
21 STF A on sa zakletvom onoga koji mu govori: "Zakleo se Gospod i neжe se raskajati: Ti si sveљtenik do veka"- BSB BSB: but Jesus became a priest with an oath by the One who said to Him: “The Lord has sworn and will not change His mind: ‘You are a priest forever.’”
22 STF utoliko je Isus boljega saveza postao jemac. BSB BSB: Because of this oath, Jesus has become the guarantee of a better covenant.
23 STF I onih je sveљtenika viљe, jer im smrt ne da da ostanu to; BSB BSB: Now there have been many other priests, since death prevented them from continuing in office.
24 STF a on, zato љto ostaje veиno, ima veиno sveљtenstvo. BSB BSB: But because Jesus lives forever, He has a permanent priesthood.
25 STF Zato i moћe uvek spasti one koji kroza nj dolaze k Bogu; jer svagda ћivi, da bi se mogao moliti za njih. BSB BSB: Therefore He is able to save completely those who draw near to God through Him, since He always lives to intercede for them.
26 STF Jer takav nam je trebao prvosveљtenik: svet, bezgreљan, иist, koji je odvojen od greљnika i viљi od nebesa; BSB BSB: Such a high priest truly befits us—One who is holy, innocent, undefiled, set apart from sinners, and exalted above the heavens.
27 STF kome nije potrebno svaki dan, kao prvosveљtenicima, prvo za svoje grehe ћrtve prinositi,a potom za narodne: jer je on ovo uиinio jedanput za svagda, kad je sebe prineo. BSB BSB: Unlike the other high priests, He does not need to offer daily sacrifices, first for His own sins and then for the sins of the people; He sacrificed for sin once for all when He offered up Himself.
28 STF Zakon postavlja za prvosveљtenike slabe ljude, a reи zakletve, reиene posle zakona, veиno savrљenoga Sina. BSB BSB: For the law appoints as high priests men who are weak; but the oath, which came after the law, appointed the Son, who has been made perfect forever.
