Hebræerne 8
1 Men Hovedpunktet ved det, hvorom her tales, er dette: Vi have en saadan Ypperstepræst, der har taget Sæde paa højre Side af Majestætens Trone i Himlene
Now in the things which we are saying the chief point [is this]: We have such a high priest, who sat down on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens,
2 som Tjener ved Helligdommen og det sande Tabernakel, hvilket Herren har oprejst, og ikke et Menneske.
a minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, not man.
3 Thi hver Ypperstepræst indsættes til at frembære Gaver og Slagtofre; derfor er det nødvendigt, at ogsaa denne maa have noget at frembære.
For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is necessary that this [high priest] also have somewhat to offer.
4 Dersom han nu var paa Jorden, da var han ikke engang Præst, efterdi der her er dem, som frembære Gaverne efter Loven;
Now if he were on earth, he would not be a priest at all, seeing there are those who offer the gifts according to the law;
5 hvilke jo tjene ved en Afbildning og Skygge af det himmelske, saaledes som det blev Moses betydet af Gud, da han skulde indrette Tabernakelet: „Se til, sagde han, at du gør alting efter det Forbillede, der blev vist dig paa Bjerget.‟
who serve [that which is] a copy and shadow of the heavenly things, even as Moses is warned [of God] when he is about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern that was shewed thee in the mount.
6 Men nu har han faaet en saa meget ypperligere Tjeneste, som han ogsaa er Mellemmand for en bedre Pagt, der jo er grundet paa bedre Forjættelser.
But now hath he obtained a ministry the more excellent, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which hath been enacted upon better promises.
7 Thi dersom hin første var udadlelig, da vilde der ikke blive søgt Sted for en anden.
For if that first [covenant] had been faultless, then would no place have been sought for a second.
8 Thi dadlende siger han til dem: „Se, der kommer Dage, siger Herren, da jeg vil slutte en ny Pagt med Israels Hus og med Judas Hus;
For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, That I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah;
9 ikke som den Pagt, jeg gjorde med deres Fædre paa den Dag, da jeg tog dem ved Haanden for at føre dem ud af Ægyptens Land; thi de bleve ikke i min Pagt, og jeg brød ‟mig ikke om dem, siger Herren.
Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers In the day that I took them by the hand to lead them forth out of the land of Egypt; For they continued not in my covenant, And I regarded them not, saith the Lord.
10 Thi dette er den Pagt, som jeg vil oprette med Israels Hus efter de Dage, siger Herren: Jeg vil give mine Love i deres Sind, og jeg vil indskrive dem i deres Hjerte, og jeg vil være deres Gud, og de skulle være mit Folk.
For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel After those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, And on their heart also will I write them: And I will be to them a God, And they shall be to me a people:
11 Og de skulle ikke lære hver sin Medborger og hver sin Broder og sige: Kend Herren; thi de skulle alle kende mig, fra den mindste indtil den største iblandt dem.
And they shall not teach every man his fellow-citizen, And every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: For all shall know me, From the least to the greatest of them.
12 Thi jeg vil være naadig imod deres Uretfærdigheder og ikke mere ihukomme deres Synder.‟
For I will be merciful to their iniquities, And their sins will I remember no more.
13 Naar han siger: „En ny‟, har han erklæret den første for gammel; men det, som bliver gammelt og ældes, er nær ved at forsvinde.
In that he saith, A new [covenant], he hath made the first old. But that which is becoming old and waxeth aged is nigh unto vanishing away.
