Hebræerne 1
1 Efter at Gud fordum havde talt mange Gange og paa mange Maader til Fædrene ved Profeterne, har han ved Slutningen af disse Dage talt til os ved sin Søn,
God, who, of old, at many times and in many ways, spoke to our ancestors, by the prophets,
has in these latter days spoken to us by the Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe. (aiōn g165)
3 han, som — efterdi han er hans Herligheds Glans og hans Væsens udtrykte Billede og bærer alle Ting med sin Krafts Ord — efter at have gjort Renselse fra Synderne har sat sig ved Majestætens højre Haand i det høje,
For he is the radiance of the glory of God and the expression of his being, upholding all creation by the power of his word; and, when he had made an expiation for the sins of humanity, he took his seat at the right hand of God’s Majesty on high,
4 idet han er bleven saa meget ypperligere end Englene, som han har arvet et herligere Navn fremfor dem.
having shown himself as much greater than the angels as the name that he has inherited surpasses theirs.
5 Thi til hvilken af Englene sagde han nogen Sinde: „Du er min Søn, jeg har født dig i Dag?‟ og fremdeles: „Jeg skal være ham en Fader, og han skal være mig en Søn?‟
For to which of the angels did God ever say – “You are my Son; this day I have become your Father”? or again – “I will be to him a Father, and he will be to me a Son”?
6 Og naar han atter indfører den førstefødte i Verden, hedder det: „Og alle Guds Engle skulle tilbede ham.‟
And again, when God brought the firstborn into the world, he said – “Let all the angels of God bow down before him.”
7 Og om Englene hedder det: „Han gør sine Engle til Vinde og sine Tjenere til Ildslue‟;
Speaking of the angels, he said – “He makes the winds his angels and the flames of fire his servants”;
8 men om Sønnen: „Din Trone, o Gud! staar i al Evighed, og Rettens Kongestav er dit Riges Kongestav. (aiōn g165)
while of the Son he said – “God is your throne for ever and ever; the sceptre of his kingdom is the sceptre of Justice; (aiōn g165)
9 Du elskede Retfærdighed og hadede Lovløshed, derfor har Gud, din Gud, salvet dig med Glædens Olie fremfor dine Medbrødre.‟
You love righteousness and hates iniquity; therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the festal oil more abundantly than your peers.”
10 Og: „Du, Herre! har i Begyndelsen grundfæstet Jorden, og Himlene ere dine Hænders Gerninger.
Again – “You, Lord, in the beginning did lay the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands.
11 De skulle forgaa, men du bliver; og de skulle til Hobe ældes som et Klædebon,
They will perish, but you remain; as a garment they will all grow old;
12 ja, som et Klæde skal du sammenrulle dem, og de skulle omskiftes; men du er den samme, og dine Aar skulle ikke faa Ende.‟
As a mantle you will fold them up, and as a garment they will be changed, but you are the same, and your years will know no end.”
13 Men til hvilken af Englene sagde han nogen Sinde: „Sæt dig ved min højre Haand, indtil jeg faar lagt dine Fjender som en Skammel for dine Fødder?‟
To which of the angels has God ever said – “Sit you at my right hand until I put your enemies as a stool for your feet”?
14 Ere de ikke alle tjenende Aander, som udsendes til Hjælp for deres Skyld, der skulle arve Frelse?
Are not all the angels spirits in the service of God, sent out to minister for the sake of those who are destined to obtain salvation?
