< Hebræerne 1 >
1 Efter at Gud fordum havde talt mange Gange og paa mange Maader til Fædrene ved Profeterne, har han ved Slutningen af disse Dage talt til os ved sin Søn,
God, who formerly spoke in many portions and in many ways to the fathers by the prophets,
2 hvem han har sat til Arving af alle Ting, ved hvem han ogsaa har skabt Verden; (aiōn )
spoke to us in these last days by a Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the ages. (aiōn )
3 han, som — efterdi han er hans Herligheds Glans og hans Væsens udtrykte Billede og bærer alle Ting med sin Krafts Ord — efter at have gjort Renselse fra Synderne har sat sig ved Majestætens højre Haand i det høje,
Who, being the radiance of his glory, and the exact image of his essence, and upholding all things by the word of his power, having made purification of our sins through himself, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in the heights.
4 idet han er bleven saa meget ypperligere end Englene, som han har arvet et herligere Navn fremfor dem.
Having become so much better than the agents, as he has inherited a more excellent name than they.
5 Thi til hvilken af Englene sagde han nogen Sinde: „Du er min Søn, jeg har født dig i Dag?‟ og fremdeles: „Jeg skal være ham en Fader, og han skal være mig en Søn?‟
For to which of the agents did he ever say, Thou are my Son, today I have begotten thee? And again, I will be to him for a Father, and he will be to me for a Son?
6 Og naar han atter indfører den førstefødte i Verden, hedder det: „Og alle Guds Engle skulle tilbede ham.‟
And again when he brings the firstborn into the world he says, And let all the agents of God worship him.
7 Og om Englene hedder det: „Han gør sine Engle til Vinde og sine Tjenere til Ildslue‟;
And indeed toward the agents he says, He who makes his agents spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.
8 men om Sønnen: „Din Trone, o Gud! staar i al Evighed, og Rettens Kongestav er dit Riges Kongestav. (aiōn )
But toward the Son, Thy throne, O God, is into the age of the age. The scepter of thy kingdom is a scepter of straightness. (aiōn )
9 Du elskede Retfærdighed og hadede Lovløshed, derfor har Gud, din Gud, salvet dig med Glædens Olie fremfor dine Medbrødre.‟
Thou have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness. Because of this, God, thy God, anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy companions.
10 Og: „Du, Herre! har i Begyndelsen grundfæstet Jorden, og Himlene ere dine Hænders Gerninger.
And thou, Lord, at the beginnings founded the earth, and the heavens are the works of thy hands.
11 De skulle forgaa, men du bliver; og de skulle til Hobe ældes som et Klædebon,
They will perish, but thou are permanent. And they will all become old as a garment.
12 ja, som et Klæde skal du sammenrulle dem, og de skulle omskiftes; men du er den samme, og dine Aar skulle ikke faa Ende.‟
And thou will roll them up as a mantle, and they will be changed. But thou are the same, and thy years will not cease.
13 Men til hvilken af Englene sagde han nogen Sinde: „Sæt dig ved min højre Haand, indtil jeg faar lagt dine Fjender som en Skammel for dine Fødder?‟
But to which of the agents has he ever said, Sit thou by my right hand until I place thine enemies a footstool of thy feet?
14 Ere de ikke alle tjenende Aander, som udsendes til Hjælp for deres Skyld, der skulle arve Frelse?
Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth for service for the sake of those who are going to inherit salvation?
