Hebræerne 10
1 Thi da Loven kun har en Skygge af de kommende Goder og ikke Tingenes Skikkelse selv, kan den aldrig ved de samme aarlige Ofre, som de bestandig frembære, fuldkomme dem, som træde frem dermed.
You see, the Law is but a shadow of the good things to come, not their actual matter, so it can never perfect those who approach with the same sacrifices that they offer endlessly, year after year.
2 Vilde man ikke ellers have ophørt at frembære dem, fordi de ofrende ikke mere havde nogen Bevidsthed om Synder, naar de een Gang vare rensede?
Otherwise would they not have ceased to be offered, since the worshipers would have had no more consciousness of sins, having been cleansed once for all?
3 Men ved Ofrene sker Aar for Aar Ihukommelse af Synder.
However, those sacrifices are an annual reminder of sins,
4 Thi det er umuligt, at Blod af Tyre og Bukke kan borttage Synder.
because it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.
5 Derfor siger han, idet han indtræder i Verden: „Slagtoffer og Madoffer havde du ikke Lyst til; men et Legeme beredte du mig;
Therefore, upon coming into the world He[S] says: “Sacrifice and offering You did not desire, but You prepared a body for me;
6 Brændofre og Syndofre havde du ikke Behag i.
with burnt offerings and sin offerings You were not pleased.
7 Da sagde jeg: Se, jeg er kommen (i Bogrullen er der skrevet om mig) for at gøre, Gud! din Villie.”
Then I said, ‘Yes indeed, I have come to do Your will, O God —thus it is written about me in the scroll of the book.’”
8 Medens han først siger: „Slagtofre og Madofre og Brændofre og Syndofre havde du ikke Lyst til og ej heller Behag i” (og disse frembæres dog efter Loven),
First He says, “Sacrifices and offerings, burnt offerings and sin offerings You did not desire, nor were You pleased with them” (which are offered according to the Law),
9 saa har han derefter sagt: „Se, jeg er kommen for at gøre din Villie.” Han ophæver det første for at fastsætte det andet.
then He says, “Yes indeed, I have come to do Your will, O God.” He removes the first in order to establish the second.
10 Og ved denne Villie ere vi helligede ved Ofringen af Jesu Kristi Legeme een Gang for alle.
By that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
11 Og hver Præst staar daglig og tjener og ofrer mange Gange de samme Ofre, som dog aldrig kunne borttage Synder.
Now every priest has stood ministering daily and offering repeatedly the same sacrifices that can never take away sins;
12 Men denne har efter at have ofret eet Offer for Synderne sat sig for bestandig ved Guds højre Haand,
but He Himself, having offered for all time one sacrifice for sins, sat down at God's right.
13 idet han forøvrigt venter paa, at hans Fjender skulle lægges som en Skammel for hans Fødder.
Since that time He is waiting until His enemies are placed as a footstool for His feet,
14 Thi med et eneste Offer har han for bestandig fuldkommet dem, som helliges.
because by one offering He has perfected forever those who are being sanctified.
15 Men ogsaa den Helligaand giver os Vidnesbyrd; thi efter at have sagt:
Now the Holy Spirit also testifies to us about this, after having foreseen it:
16 „Dette er den Pagt, som jeg vil oprette med dem efter de Dage,” siger Herren: „Jeg vil give mine Love i deres Hjerter, og jeg vil indskrive dem i deres Sind,
“‘This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days,’ says the Lord, ‘I will put my laws on their hearts and I will write them on their minds,
17 og deres Synder og deres Overtrædelser vil jeg ikke mere ihukomme.”
and I will not at all remember their sins and lawless deeds.’”
18 Men hvor der er Forladelse for disse, er der ikke mere Offer for Synd.
Now where there is remission of these, there is no longer an offering for sin.
19 Efterdi vi da, Brødre! have Frimodighed til den Indgang i Helligdommen ved Jesu Blod,
Therefore, brothers, having courage to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus,
20 som han indviede os som en ny og levende Vej igennem Forhænget, det er hans Kød,
by a new and living way that He inaugurated for us, through the curtain, that is to say, His flesh,
21 og efterdi vi have en stor Præst over Guds Hus:
and having a Great Priest over the house of God,
22 Saa lader os træde frem med et sandt Hjerte, i Troens fulde Forvisning, med Hjerterne ved Bestænkelsen rensede fra en ond Samvittighed, og Legemet tvættet med rent Vand;
let us approach with a true heart in full assurance of faith, our hearts having been sprinkled from an evil conscience and our body having been washed with clean water.
23 lader os fastholde Haabets Bekendelse urokket; thi trofast er han, som gav Forjættelsen;
Let us hold fast the confession of the Hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.
24 og lader os give Agt paa hverandre, saa vi opflamme hverandre til Kærlighed og gode Gerninger
And let us contemplate one another, for the stirring up of love and good works,
25 og ikke forlade vor egen Forsamling, som nogle have for Skik, men formane hverandre, og det saa meget mere, som I se, at Dagen nærmer sig.
not forsaking the assembling of ourselves (like some are doing), but exhorting one another, and all the more as you see the Day approaching.
26 Thi synde vi med Villie, efter at have modtaget Sandhedens Erkendelse, er der intet Offer mere tilbage for Synder,
Because, if we deliberately keep on sinning after having received the real knowledge of the Truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins,
27 men en frygtelig Forventelse af Dom og en brændende Nidkærhed, som skal fortære de genstridige.
just a certain fearful anticipation of judgment and fierce fire that is ready to consume the hostiles.
28 Naar en har brudt med Mose Lov, dør han uden Barmhjertighed paa to eller tre Vidners Udsagn;
Anyone who rejected Moses' law died without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses.
29 hvor meget værre Straf mene I da, at den skal agtes værd, som træder Guds Søn under Fod og agter Pagtens Blod, hvormed han blev helliget, for urent og forhaaner Naadens Aand?
Of how much worse punishment, do you suppose, will he be deemed worthy who has trampled the Son of God under foot, who has regarded as unholy the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and who has insulted the Spirit of grace?
30 Thi vi kende den, som har sagt: „Mig hører Hævnen til, jeg vil betale, siger Herren;” og fremdeles: „Herren skal dømme sit Folk.”
For we know Him who said, “‘Vengeance is up to me,’ says the Lord, ‘I will repay.’” And again, “The Lord will judge His people.”
31 Det er frygteligt at falde i den levende Guds Hænder.
It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the Living God!
32 Men kommer de forrige Dage i Hu, i hvilke I, efter at I vare blevne oplyste, udholdt megen Kamp i Lidelser,
However, remember those earlier days in which, having been enlightened, you endured a great struggle of sufferings:
33 idet I dels selv ved Forhaanelser og Trængsler bleve et Skuespil, dels gjorde fælles Sag med dem, som fristede saadanne Kaar.
partly being publicly exposed to both insults and oppression, and partly siding with those who were so treated.
34 Thi baade havde I Medlidenhed med de fangne, og I fandt eder med Glæde i, at man røvede, hvad I ejede, vidende, at I selv have en bedre og blivende Ejendom.
Indeed, you also shared in the suffering of my chains; you even accepted the plundering of your possessions with joy, knowing that you have for yourselves a better and enduring possession in the heavens.
35 Kaster altsaa ikke eders Frimodighed bort, hvilken jo har stor Belønning;
So do not throw away your confidence, which has a great recompense.
36 thi I have Udholdenhed nødig, for at I, naar I have gjort Guds Villie, kunne opnaa Forjættelsen.
You need perseverance so that, having done the will of God, you may receive the promise.
37 Thi „der er endnu kun en saare liden Stund, saa kommer han, der skal komme, og han vil ikke tøve.
For in a very little while: “He who is coming will come and will not delay.
38 Men min retfærdige skal leve af Tro; og dersom han unddrager sig, har min Sjæl ikke Behag i ham.”
Now the righteous one will live by faith, yet if he backs away, my soul has no pleasure in him.”
39 Men vi ere ikke af dem, som unddrage sig, til Fortabelse, men af dem, som tro, til Sjælens Frelse.
But we are not of those who back away into ruin, but of those who believe to the saving of the soul.
