Hebræerne 13
1 Broderkærligheden blive ved!
Let brotherly love always continue.
2 Glemmer ikke Gæstfriheden; thi ved den have nogle, uden at vide det, haft Engle til Gæster.
Do not neglect to show kindness to strangers; for, in this way, some, without knowing it, have had angels as their guests.
3 Kommer de fangne i Hu, som vare I selv medfangne; dem, der lide ilde, som de, der ogsaa selv ere i et Legeme.
Remember prisoners, as if you were in prison with them; and remember those suffering ill-treatment, for you yourselves also are still in the body.
4 Ægteskabet være æret hos alle, og Ægtesengen ubesmittet; thi utugtige og Horkarle skal Gud dømme.
Let marriage be held in honour among all, and let the marriage bed be unpolluted; for fornicators and adulterers God will judge.
5 Eders Vandel være uden Pengegridskhed, nøjes med det, I have; thi han har selv sagt: „Jeg vil ingenlunde slippe dig og ingenlunde forlade dig, ‟
Your lives should be untainted by love for money. Be content with what you have; for God Himself has said, "I will never, never let go your hand: I will never never forsake you."
6 saa at vi kunne sige med frit Mod: „Herren er min Hjælper, jeg vil ikke frygte; hvad kan et Menneske gøre mig?‟
So that we fearlessly say, "The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid: what can man do to me?"
7 Kommer eders Vejledere i Hu, som have forkyndt eder Guds Ord, og idet I betragte deres Vandrings Udgang, saa efterligner deres Tro!
Remember your former leaders--it was they who brought you God's Message. Bear in mind how they ended their lives, and imitate their faith.
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and to-day--yes, and to the ages to come. (aiōn g165)
9 Lader eder ikke lede vild af mange Haande og fremmede Lærdomme; thi det er godt, at Hjertet styrkes ved Naaden, ikke ved Spiser; thi deraf have de, som holdt sig dertil, ingen Nytte haft.
Do not be drawn aside by all sorts of strange teaching; for it is well to have the heart made stedfast through God's grace, and not by special kinds of food, from which those who scrupulously attend to them have derived no benefit.
10 Vi have et Alter, hvorfra de, som tjene ved Tabernakelet, ikke have Ret til at spise.
We Christians have an altar from which the ministers of the Jewish Tent have no right to eat.
11 Thi de Dyr, hvis Blod for Syndens Skyld bæres ind i Helligdommen af Ypperstepræsten, deres Kroppe opbrændes uden for Lejren.
For the bodies of those animals of which the blood is carried by the High Priest into the Holy place as an offering for sin, are burned outside the camp.
12 Derfor led ogsaa Jesus uden for Porten, for at han kunde hellige Folket ved sit eget Blod.
And for this reason Jesus also, in order, by His own blood, to set the people free from sin, suffered outside the gate.
13 Saa lader os da gaa ud til ham uden for Lejren, idet vi bære hans Forsmædelse;
Therefore let us go to Him outside the camp, sharing the insults directed against Him.
14 thi her have vi ikke en blivende Stad, men vi søge den kommende.
For we have no permanent city here, but we are longing for the city which is soon to be ours.
15 Lader os da ved ham altid frembære Gud Lovprisnings Offer, det er: En Frugt af Læber, som bekende hans Navn.
Through Him, then, let us continually lay on the altar a sacrifice of praise to God, namely, the utterance of lips that give thanks to His Name.
16 Men glemmer ikke at gøre vel og at meddele; thi i saadanne Ofre har Gud Velbehag.
And do not forget to be kind and liberal; for with sacrifices of that sort God is greatly pleased.
17 Lyder eders Vejledere og retter eder efter dem; thi de vaage over eders Sjæle som de, der skulle gøre Regnskab — for at de maa gøre dette med Glæde og ikke sukkende; thi dette er eder ikke gavnligt.
Obey your leaders and be submissive to them. For they are keeping watch over your souls as those who will have to give account; that they may do this with joy and not with lamentation. For that would be of no advantage to you.
18 Beder for os; thi vi ere forvissede om, at vi have en god Samvittighed, idet vi ønske at vandre rettelig i alle Ting.
Keep on praying for us; for we are sure that we have clear consciences, and we desire to live nobly in every respect.
19 Og jeg formaner eder des mere til at gøre dette, for at jeg desto snarere kan gives eder igen.
I specially urge this upon you in order that I may be the more speedily restored to you.
20 Men Fredens Gud, som førte den store Faarenes Hyrde, vor Herre Jesus, op fra de døde med en evig Pagts Blod, (aiōnios g166)
Now may God who gives peace, and brought Jesus, our Lord, up again from among the dead--even Him who, by virtue of the blood of the eternal Covenant, is the great Shepherd of the sheep-- (aiōnios g166)
21 han bringe eder til Fuldkommenhed i alt godt, til at gøre hans Villie, og han virke i eder det, som er velbehageligt for hans Aasyn, ved Jesus Kristus: Ham være Æren i Evighedernes Evigheder! Amen. (aiōn g165)
fully equip you with every grace that you may need for the doing of His will, producing in us that which will truly please Him through Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory to the Ages of the Ages! Amen. (aiōn g165)
22 Jeg beder eder, Brødre! at I finde eder i dette Formaningsord; thi jeg har jo skrevet til eder i Korthed.
Bear with me, brethren, when I thus exhort you; for, in fact, it is but a short letter that I have written to you.
23 Vider, at vor Broder Timotheus er løsladt; sammen med ham vil jeg se eder, dersom han snart kommer.
You will rejoice to hear that our brother Timothy has been set at liberty. If he comes soon, I will see you with him.
24 Hilser alle eders Vejledere og alle de hellige! De fra Italien hilse eder.
Greet all your leaders and all God's people. The brethren from Italy send you greetings.
25 Naaden være med eder alle!
Grace be with you all! Amen.
