List Hebrejom 4
Nádej pre kazdého
Boží odpočinok
4 Varujme sa teda, aby o niekom z vás neplatilo, že v čase, kým ešte zasľúbenie trvá, nezískal Božie odpočinutie.
2 Veď aj nám sa hlása tá radostná zvesť -- posolstvo, že nás Boh chce zachrániť -- ako tým na púšti. Zvesť, ktorú počuli, im však neprospela, lebo ju vierou neprijali.
3 Ale my, ktorí sme uverili, získame skutočné odpočinutie, ako povedal Boh: Prisahal som vo svojom hneve, že tí, čo mi neveria, nikdy nevojdú do zasľúbenej krajiny." To povedal Boh, hoci toto miesto odpočinku trvá od chvíle, keď stvoril svet.
4 O siedmom dni sa predsa v Písme hovorí takto: V siedmy deň si Boh odpočinul od všetkých svojich diel."
5 Ale tu čítame: Nikdy nevojdú do zasľúbenej krajiny, kde by našli odpočinok."
6 To znamená, že možnosť získať Božie odpočinutie trvá dodnes. Naši otcovia, ktorým toto zasľúbenie najprv platilo, ho pre svoju neposlušnosť nenašli.
7 Ale Boh určil iný deň, ktorý sa volá dnes". Hovorí o ňom už kráľ Dávid: Ak dnes počujete jeho hlas, nezatvrdzujte svoje srdcia!"
8 Keby ich bol Jozue voviedol na miesto odpočinku, nehovoril by Boh o inom neskoršom dni.
9 Tak Boží ľud na pravý deň odpočinku ešte len čaká.
10 Lebo kto získa Božie odpočinutie, odpočinie si od svojho diela podobne, ako si Boh odpočinul od svojho.
11 A tak sa usilujeme získať toto odpočinutie, aby nik pre svoju neposlušnosť neminul cieľ. Naši otcovia na púšti sú nám výstražným príkladom.
12 Slovo Božie je živé, účinné a ostrejšie ako akýkoľvek dvojsečný meč: preniká až na rozhranie duše a ducha, kostí a špiku a rozsudzuje túžby a myšlienky srdca.
13 Niet tvora, ktorý by sa pred ním mohol skryť. Všetko je obnažené a odkryté pred očami toho, ktorému sa budeme zodpovedať za všetko, čo sme vykonali.
Ježiš -- pravý veľkňaz
14 Máme vznešeného veľkňaza, ktorý vstúpil až pred Božiu tvár, Ježiša, Syna Božieho, držme sa teda toho, čo vyznávame.
15 On má pochopenie pre naše slabosti, lebo sám musel zápasiť s tým istým pokušením ako aj my, ibaže sa nedopustil hriechu.
16 Preto smieme smelo a bez strachu pristupovať rovno k Bohu, ktorý nás zahrnie svojím milosrdenstvom a milosťou, keď budeme jeho pomoc potrebovať.
Hebrews 4
Lexham English Bible
The Rest that Remains for the People of God
4 Therefore let us fear, while there[a] remains a promise of entering into his rest, that none of you appear to fall short of it. 2 For we also have had the good news proclaimed to us[b], just as those also did, but the message they heard[c] did not benefit them, because they[d] were not united with those who heard it in faith. 3 For we who have believed enter into rest,[e] just as he has said,
And yet these works have been accomplished from the foundation of the world. 4 For he has spoken somewhere about the seventh day in this way: “And God rested on the seventh day from all his works,”[h] 5 and in this passage again, ‘They will never enter[i] into my rest.’”[j] 6 Since therefore it remains for some to enter into it, and the ones to whom the good news was proclaimed previously did not enter because of disobedience, 7 again he ordains a certain day, today, speaking by David after so long a time, just as had been said before,
“Today, if you hear his voice,
do not harden your hearts.”[k]
8 For if Joshua had caused them to rest, he would not have spoken about another day after these things. 9 Consequently a sabbath rest remains for the people of God. 10 For the one who has entered into his rest has also himself rested from his works, just as God did from his own works.
11 Therefore, let us make every effort to enter into that rest, in order that no one may fall in the same pattern of disobedience. 12 For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any double-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, both joints and marrow, and able to judge the reflections and thoughts of the heart. 13 And no creature is hidden in the sight of him, but all things are naked and laid bare to the eyes of him to whom we must give our account[l].
Jesus Our Great High Priest
14 Therefore, because we have a great high priest who has gone through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast to our confession. 15 For we do not have a high priest who is not able to sympathize with our weaknesses, but who has been tempted in all things in the same way, without sin. 16 Therefore let us approach with confidence to the throne of grace, in order that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
