Hebræerne 2
1 Derfor bør vi des mere agte paa det, vi have hørt, for at vi ikke skulle rives bort.
FOR this reason we ought to attend more diligently to the things which have been heard, lest by any means we let them flow by us.
2 Thi naar det Ord, som taltes ved Engle, blev urokket, og hver Overtrædelse og Ulydighed fik velforskyldt Løn,
For if the discourse spoken by angels was confirmed, and every transgression and disobedience received a just punishment as its due,
3 hvorledes skulle da vi undfly, naar vi ikke bryde os om saa stor en Frelse, som jo efter først at være bleven forkyndt ved Herren er bleven stadfæstet for os af dem, som havde hørt ham,
how shall we escape if we neglect so great salvation, which, commencing at the beginning to be spoken by the Lord, was confirmed unto us by those who had heard him;
4 idet Gud vidnede med baade ved Tegn og Undere og mange Haande kraftige Gerninger og ved Meddelelse af den Helligaand efter sin Villie.
God superadding his testimony with them, by signs, and wonders, and various miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will?
5 Thi det var ikke Engle, han underlagde den kommende Verden, om hvilken vi tale.
For he hath not subjected the future world, of which we are speaking, to the angels.
6 Men en har vidnet et Sted og sagt: „Hvad er et Menneske, at du kommer ham i Hu? eller en Menneskesøn, at du ser til ham?
But one in a certain passage testifieth, saying, “What is man, that thou rememberest him, or a son of man, that thou regardest him?”
7 Du gjorde ham en kort Tid ringere end Engle; med Herlighed og Ære kronede du ham;
“Thou hast made him for a little while lower than angels, thou hast crowned him with glory and honour, and hast placed him over the works of thy hands:
8 alle Ting lagde du under hans Fødder.” — Idet han nemlig underlagde ham alle Ting, undtog han intet fra at være ham underlagt. Nu se vi imidlertid endnu ikke alle Ting underlagte ham;
thou hast subjected all things under his feet.” Now in subjecting all things to him, he left nothing unsubjected to him; but at present we see not yet all things subjected to him.
9 men ham, som en kort Tid var bleven gjort ringere end Engle, Jesus, se vi paa Grund af Dødens Lidelse kronet med Herlighed og Ære, for at han ved Guds Naade maa have smagt Døden for alle.
But we see Jesus for a little while made lower than angels, by the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour, that, by the grace of God, he might taste of death for every one.
10 Thi det sømmede sig ham, for hvis Skyld alle Ting ere, og ved hvem alle Ting ere, naar han førte mange Sønner til Herlighed, da at fuldkomme deres Frelses Ophavsmand igennem Lidelser.
For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to perfect the Author of their salvation by sufferings.
11 Thi baade den, som helliger, og de, som helliges, ere alle af een; hvorfor han ikke skammer sig ved at kalde dem Brødre,
For both he that sanctifies, and they who are sanctified, are all of one. For which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,
12 naar han siger: „Jeg vil forkynde dit Navn for mine Brødre, midt i en Menighed vil jeg lovsynge dig.”
saying, “I will declare thy name to my brethren, in the midst of the church I will sing hymns to thee.”
13 Og fremdeles: „Jeg vil forlade mig paa ham.” Og fremdeles: „Se, her er jeg og de Børn, som Gud har givet mig.”
And again, “I will place my confidence in him.” And again, “Behold! Here am I, and the children which God hath given me.”
14 Efterdi da Børnene ere delagtige i Blod og Kød, blev ogsaa han i lige Maade delagtig deri, for at han ved Døden skulde gøre den magtesløs, som har Dødens Vælde, det er Djævelen,
Seeing therefore that the children have partaken of flesh and blood, he also himself, in exact resemblance, partook of the same, that by death he might destroy him who held the power of death, that is, the devil;
15 og befri alle dem, som paa Grund af Dødsfrygt vare under Trældom al deres Livs Tid.
and deliver those, even as many as through their whole life were subjects of bondage to the fear of death.
16 Thi det er jo dog ikke Engle, han tager sig af, men Abrahams Sæd tager han sig af.
For he verily took not on him the angelic nature, but assumed that of the seed of Abraham.
17 Derfor maatte han blive sine Brødre lig i alle Ting, for”at han kunde blive en barmhjertig og trofast Ypperstepræst over for Gud til at sone Folkets Synder.
Wherefore he ought in all things to be made like to his brethren, in order to become a merciful and faithful high-priest in those things which relate to God, to make a propitiation for the sins of the people:
18 Thi idet han har lidt, kan han som den, der selv er fristet, komme dem til Hjælp, som fristes.
for inasmuch as he hath himself suffered, having been tempted, he is able to succour those who are tempted.
