Hebræerne 5
1 Thi hver Ypperstepræst tages iblandt Mennesker og indsættes for Mennesker til Tjenesten for Gud, for at han skal frembære baade Gaver og Slagtofre for Synder,
Every high priest is chosen from the people and is appointed to work for the people as they relate to God. He presents to God both their gifts and sacrifices for their sins.
2 som en, der kan bære over med de vankundige og vildfarende, eftersom han ogsaa selv er stedt i Skrøbelighed
The high priest understands how ignorant and deluded people feel because he also experiences the same kind of human weaknesses.
3 og for dens Skyld maa frembære Syndoffer, som for Folket saaledes ogsaa for sig selv.
As a result he has to offer sacrifices for his sins as well as for those of the people.
4 Og ingen tager sig selv den Ære, men han kaldes af Gud, ligesom jo ogsaa Aron.
No one can take the position of high priest for himself; he must be chosen by God, just like Aaron was.
5 Saaledes har ej heller Kristus tillagt sig selv den Ære at blive Ypperstepræst, men den, som sagde til ham: „Du er min Søn, jeg har født dig i Dag, ‟
In just the same way Christ did not honor himself by becoming high priest. It was God who said to him, “You are my Son. Today I have become your Father.”
6 som han jo ogsaa siger et andet Sted: „Du er Præst til evig Tid, efter Melkisedeks Vis, ‟ (aiōn g165)
In another verse, God says, “You are a priest forever, following the order of Melchizedek.” (aiōn g165)
7 han, som i sit Køds Dage med stærkt Raab og Taarer frembar Bønner og ydmyge Begæringer til den, der kunde frelse ham fra Døden, og blev bønhørt i sin Angest,
Jesus, while he was here in human form, prayed and appealed with loud cries and tears to God, the one who was able to save him from death. Jesus was heard because of his respect for God.
8 og saaledes, endskønt han var Søn, lærte han Lydighed af det, han led,
Even though he was God's Son, Jesus learned through suffering what obedience really means.
9 og efter at være fuldkommet blev Aarsag til evig Frelse for alle dem, som lyde ham, (aiōnios g166)
When his experience was complete, he became the source of eternal salvation to everyone who does what he says, (aiōnios g166)
10 idet han af Gud blev kaldt Ypperstepræst efter Melkisedeks Vis.
having been designated by God as a high priest according to the order of Melchizedek.
11 Herom have vi meget at sige, og det er vanskeligt at forklare, efterdi I ere blevne sløve til at høre.
We have much to say about Jesus, and it's hard to explain because you don't seem able to understand!
12 Thi skønt I efter Tiden endog burde være Lærere, trænge I atter til, at man skal lære eder Begyndelsesgrundene i Guds Ord, og I ere blevne saadanne, som trænge til Mælk og ikke til fast Føde.
By now you should have had enough time to become teachers, but you need someone to teach you the fundamentals, the first principles of God's word. It's like you need to go back to baby milk instead of solid food!
13 Thi hver, som faar Mælk, er ukyndig i den rette Tale, thi han er spæd;
Those who drink baby milk don't have the experience of living the right way—they're just babies.
14 men for de fuldkomne er den faste Føde, for dem, som paa Grund af deres Erfaring have Sanserne øvede til at skelne mellem godt og ondt.
Solid food is for grown-ups—those who by always using their brains have learned to tell the difference between good and evil.
