Hebræerne 13
1 Broderkærligheden blive ved!
Continue to love your fellow believers.
2 Glemmer ikke Gæstfriheden; thi ved den have nogle, uden at vide det, haft Engle til Gæster.
Do not forget to be hospitable to needy travelers [LIT]. You need to know that by being hospitable, some people have entertained angels without knowing it.
3 Kommer de fangne i Hu, som vare I selv medfangne; dem, der lide ilde, som de, der ogsaa selv ere i et Legeme.
Remember [to help] those who are in prison [because they are Christians], as though you were in prison with them. Remember those who are being mistreated {whom people are mistreating} [because they are believers. As you do that], consider that you you could suffer as they do.
4 Ægteskabet være æret hos alle, og Ægtesengen ubesmittet; thi utugtige og Horkarle skal Gud dømme.
You must (respect/keep sacred) the marriage relationship in every way, and you must keep sexual relations [EUP] pure, because God will surely condemn those who act immorally and those who act adulterously.
5 Eders Vandel være uden Pengegridskhed, nøjes med det, I have; thi han har selv sagt: „Jeg vil ingenlunde slippe dig og ingenlunde forlade dig,”
Live without constantly coveting money, and be content with the things you possess, remembering what [Moses] wrote [that God] has said [about supplying what you need], I will never leave you, I will never stop providing for you [DOU].
6 saa at vi kunne sige med frit Mod: „Herren er min Hjælper, jeg vil ikke frygte; hvad kan et Menneske gøre mig?”
So we can say confidently [as the Psalmist said], Since the Lord is the one who helps me, I will not be afraid! People can do nothing to me [that will deprive me of God’s blessings] [RHQ].
7 Kommer eders Vejledere i Hu, som have forkyndt eder Guds Ord, og idet I betragte deres Vandrings Udgang, saa efterligner deres Tro!
Your spiritual leaders used to tell you the message from God [before they died]. Remember how they conducted their lives. By considering (how they died/what resulted from how they lived), imitate how they believed [in Christ/God].
Jesus Christ [is] the same now as he was previously, and he will be the same forever. (aiōn g165)
9 Lader eder ikke lede vild af mange Haande og fremmede Lærdomme; thi det er godt, at Hjertet styrkes ved Naaden, ikke ved Spiser; thi deraf have de, som holdt sig dertil, ingen Nytte haft.
[So], do not let yourselves be diverted {let anything divert you} so that you believe various teachings [that are contrary to God’s truth]. It is good that God acts kindly toward us so that we may be strengthened spiritually. [Obeying rules about] various foods, rules that have not benefited those who obeyed them, will not benefit us.
10 Vi have et Alter, hvorfra de, som tjene ved Tabernakelet, ikke have Ret til at spise.
We have [Jesus] [MTY]. All those who continue to observe the Jewish rituals [MTY] of sacrifice have no right to obtain the benefits of his sacrifice [MET].
11 Thi de Dyr, hvis Blod for Syndens Skyld bæres ind i Helligdommen af Ypperstepræsten, deres Kroppe opbrændes uden for Lejren.
After the high priest brings into the most holy place the blood of animals [that they have sacrificed to atone] for sins, the bodies of those animals are burned {they burn the bodies of those animals} outside the camp.
12 Derfor led ogsaa Jesus uden for Porten, for at han kunde hellige Folket ved sit eget Blod.
Similarly, Jesus suffered [and died] outside the gate [of Jerusalem] in order that he might make [us], his people, holy by [offering] his own blood [as a sacrifice to atone for our sins].
13 Saa lader os da gaa ud til ham uden for Lejren, idet vi bære hans Forsmædelse;
So, we must abandon [performing Jewish] sacrifices and rituals [MET] [in order to be saved], and let us go to Jesus [to be saved]. As we do that, we must [be willing to] let others reproach us just like people reproached Jesus.
14 thi her have vi ikke en blivende Stad, men vi søge den kommende.
Here on earth, we believers do not have a city [such as Jerusalem where we must] continually [offer sacrifices] [MET]. Instead, we are waiting for a future [heavenly] city [that will last forever].
15 Lader os da ved ham altid frembære Gud Lovprisnings Offer, det er: En Frugt af Læber, som bekende hans Navn.
With [the help of] Jesus, we must continually praise God. That will be something we can sacrifice [to him] [MET] [instead of our sacrificing animals only at specific times]. Specifically, we must say openly [MTY] [that we have trusted] in Christ [MTY].
16 Men glemmer ikke at gøre vel og at meddele; thi i saadanne Ofre har Gud Velbehag.
Be continually [LIT] doing good deeds [for others], and be continually sharing [with others the things you have], because doing things like that will [also] be [as though you are offering] sacrifices that will please God.
17 Lyder eders Vejledere og retter eder efter dem; thi de vaage over eders Sjæle som de, der skulle gøre Regnskab — for at de maa gøre dette med Glæde og ikke sukkende; thi dette er eder ikke gavnligt.
Obey your [spiritual] leaders; do what they tell you, since they are the ones who are looking out for your spiritual welfare [SYN]. [Some day] they will have to stand before God so that he can say if he approves of what they have done. Obey them in order that they can do the work of guarding you joyfully, and not have to do it sadly, because if you cause them to do it sadly, that will certainly not help you at all (OR, they will not be able to help you at all).
18 Beder for os; thi vi ere forvissede om, at vi have en god Samvittighed, idet vi ønske at vandre rettelig i alle Ting.
Pray for me. I am certain that I have not done anything that displeases God. I have tried to act honorably [toward you] in every way.
19 Og jeg formaner eder des mere til at gøre dette, for at jeg desto snarere kan gives eder igen.
I urge you earnestly to pray that [God] will quickly remove the things that hinder my coming to you.
20 Men Fredens Gud, som førte den store Faarenes Hyrde, vor Herre Jesus, op fra de døde med en evig Pagts Blod, (aiōnios g166)
Jesus [provides for us], [protects us, and guides us as] a great shepherd does for his sheep [MET]. And God, who gives us [inner] peace, brought our Lord Jesus back to life. By doing that, God ratified his eternal covenant with us by the blood [that flowed from Jesus when he died on the] cross. (aiōnios g166)
21 han bringe eder til Fuldkommenhed i alt godt, til at gøre hans Villie, og han virke i eder det, som er velbehageligt for hans Aasyn, ved Jesus Kristus: Ham være Æren i Evighedernes Evigheder! Amen. (aiōn g165)
So I pray that God will equip you with everything good [that you need in order] that you may do the things that he desires. May he accomplish in our lives whatever he considers pleasing as a result of Jesus Christ [equipping us]. May Jesus Christ be praised forever. (Amen!/May it be so!) (aiōn g165)
22 Jeg beder eder, Brødre! at I finde eder i dette Formaningsord; thi jeg har jo skrevet til eder i Korthed.
My fellow believers, I appeal to you that you patiently consider [what] I have written in this short letter, to exhort you.
23 Vider, at vor Broder Timotheus er løsladt; sammen med ham vil jeg se eder, dersom han snart kommer.
I want you to know that our fellow believer Timothy has been released {[the authorities] have released our fellow believer Timothy} [from prison]. If he comes here soon, he will accompany me when I go to see you.
24 Hilser alle eders Vejledere og alle de hellige! De fra Italien hilse eder.
Tell all your [spiritual] leaders and all the [other] fellow believers [in your city] that (I am thinking fondly about them/I am sending them my greetings). The believers [in this area who have come] from Italy [want you to know they] are (thinking about you/sending you their greetings).
25 Naaden være med eder alle!
[I pray that] you will continue to experience God’s acting kindly toward you all.
