Hebræerne 3
1 Derfor, hellige Brødre, delagtige i en himmelsk Kaldelse! ser hen til vor Bekendelses Udsending og Ypperstepræst, Jesus,
Therefore, holy brethren, sharers with others in a heavenly invitation, fix your thoughts on Jesus, the Apostle and High Priest whose followers we profess to be.
2 der var tro imod den, som beskikkede ham, ligesom ogsaa Moses var det i hele hans Hus.
How faithful He was to Him who appointed Him, just as Moses also was faithful in all God's house!
3 Thi han er kendt værdig til større Herlighed end Moses, i samme Maal som den, der har indrettet et Hus, har større Ære end Huset selv.
For Jesus has been counted worthy of greater glory than Moses, in so far as he who has built a house has higher honour than the house itself.
4 Thi hvert Hus indrettes af nogen; men den, som har indrettet alt, er Gud.
For every house has had a builder, and the builder of all things is God.
5 Og Moses var vel tro i hele hans Hus, som en Tjener, til Vidnesbyrd om, hvad der skulde tales;
Moreover, Moses was faithful in all God's house as a servant in delivering the message given him to speak;
6 men Kristus er det som en Søn over hans Hus; og hans Hus ere vi, saafremt vi fastholde Haabets Frimodighed og Ros urokket indtil Enden.
but Christ was faithful as a Son having authority over God's house, and we are that house, if we hold firm to the End the boldness and the hope which we boast of as ours.
7 Derfor, som den Helligaand siger: „I Dag, naar I høre hans Røst,
For this reason--as the Holy Spirit warns us, "To-day, if you hear His voice,
8 da forhærder ikke eders Hjerter, som det skete i Forbitrelsen, paa Fristelsens Dag i Ørkenen,
do not harden your hearts as your forefathers did in the time of the provocation on the day of the temptation in the Desert,
9 hvor eders Fædre fristede mig ved at sætte mig paa Prøve, og de saa dog mine Gerninger i fyrretyve Aar.
where your forefathers so sorely tried My patience and saw all that I did during forty years.
10 Derfor harmedes jeg paa denne Slægt og sagde: De fare altid vild i Hjertet; men de kendte ikke mine Veje,
Therefore I was greatly grieved with that generation, and I said, 'They are ever going astray in heart, and have not learnt to know My paths.'
11 saa jeg svor i min Vrede: Sandelig, de skulle ikke gaa ind til min Hvile” —
As I swore in My anger, they shall not be admitted to My rest" --
12 saa ser til, Brødre! at der ikke nogen Sinde i nogen af eder skal findes et ondt, vantro Hjerte, saa at han falder fra den levende Gud.
see to it, brethren, that there is never in any one of you--as perhaps there may be--a sinful and unbelieving heart, manifesting itself in revolt from the ever-living God.
13 Men formaner hverandre hver Dag, saa længe det hedder „i Dag”, for at ikke nogen af eder skal forhærdes ved Syndens Bedrag.
On the contrary encourage one another, day after day, so long as To-day lasts, so that not one of you may be hardened through the deceitful character of sin.
14 Thi vi ere blevne delagtige i Kristus, saafremt vi fastholde vor første Fortrøstning urokket indtil Enden.
For we have, all alike, become sharers with Christ, if we really hold our first confidence firm to the End;
15 Naar der siges: „I Dag, naar I høre hans Røst, da forhærder ikke eders Hjerter som i Forbitrelsen”:
seeing that the warning still comes to us, "To-day, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts as your forefathers did in the time of the provocation."
16 Hvem vare da vel de, som hørte og dog voldte Forbitrelse? Mon ikke alle, som gik ud af Ægypten ved Moses?
For who were they that heard, and yet provoked God? Was it not the whole of the people who had come out of Egypt under the leadership of Moses?
17 Men paa hvem harmedes han i fyrretyve Aar? Mon ikke paa dem, som syndede, hvis døde Kroppe faldt i Ørkenen?
And with whom was God so greatly grieved for forty years? Was it not with those who had sinned, and whose dead bodies fell in the Desert?
18 Og over for hvem tilsvor han, at de ikke skulde gaa ind til hans Hvile, uden dem, som vare blevne genstridige?
And to whom did He swear that they should not be admitted to His rest, if it was not to those who were disobedient?
19 Og vi se, at de ikke kunde gaa ind paa Grund af Vantro.
And so we see that it was owing to lack of faith that they could not be admitted.
