Hebræerne 2
1 Derfor bør vi des mere agte paa det, vi have hørt, for at vi ikke skulle rives bort.
Because of this we ought to give more earnest heed to the things that were heard, lest we might slip away.
2 Thi naar det Ord, som taltes ved Engle, blev urokket, og hver Overtrædelse og Ulydighed fik velforskyldt Løn,
For if the word spoken through agents became certain, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense of reward,
3 hvorledes skulle da vi undfly, naar vi ikke bryde os om saa stor en Frelse, som jo efter først at være bleven forkyndt ved Herren er bleven stadfæstet for os af dem, som havde hørt ham,
how will we escape, having neglected so great a salvation? Which first, having taken to be spoken by the Lord, was verified for us by those who heard;
4 idet Gud vidnede med baade ved Tegn og Undere og mange Haande kraftige Gerninger og ved Meddelelse af den Helligaand efter sin Villie.
God also testifying simultaneously by signs and wonders, and by various powers and distributions of the Holy Spirit according to his will.
5 Thi det var ikke Engle, han underlagde den kommende Verden, om hvilken vi tale.
For he did not subject the coming world to agents, about which we speak.
6 Men en har vidnet et Sted og sagt: „Hvad er et Menneske, at du kommer ham i Hu? eller en Menneskesøn, at du ser til ham?
But a certain man has somewhere testified, saying, What is man, that thou remember him? Or a son of man, that thou help him?
7 Du gjorde ham en kort Tid ringere end Engle; med Herlighed og Ære kronede du ham;
Thou made him a little something less than the agents. Thou crowned him with glory and honor.
8 alle Ting lagde du under hans Fødder.‟ — Idet han nemlig underlagde ham alle Ting, undtog han intet fra at være ham underlagt. Nu se vi imidlertid endnu ikke alle Ting underlagte ham;
Thou subordinated all things under his feet. For in subordinating all things to him, he left nothing not subordinate to him. But now we do not yet see all things subordinated to him.
9 men ham, som en kort Tid var bleven gjort ringere end Engle, Jesus, se vi paa Grund af Dødens Lidelse kronet med Herlighed og Ære, for at han ved Guds Naade maa have smagt Døden for alle.
But we see Jesus who has been made a little something less than the agents, who, because of the suffering of death, has been crowned with glory and honor, so that by the grace of God he would taste of death for every man.
10 Thi det sømmede sig ham, for hvis Skyld alle Ting ere, og ved hvem alle Ting ere, naar han førte mange Sønner til Herlighed, da at fuldkomme deres Frelses Ophavsmand igennem Lidelser.
For it was fitting for him, through whom are all things, and because of whom are all things, having brought many sons to glory, to make the pathfinder of their salvation fully perfect through sufferings.
11 Thi baade den, som helliger, og de, som helliges, ere alle af een; hvorfor han ikke skammer sig ved at kalde dem Brødre,
For both he who sanctifies and those being sanctified are all of one, because of which reason he is not ashamed to call them brothers,
12 naar han siger: „Jeg vil forkynde dit Navn for mine Brødre, midt i en Menighed vil jeg lovsynge dig.‟
saying, I will declare thy name to my brothers. In the midst of the congregation I will sing praise to thee.
13 Og fremdeles: „Jeg vil forlade mig paa ham.‟ Og fremdeles: „Se, her er jeg og de Børn, som Gud har givet mig.‟
And again, I will be a man who has trusted in him. And again, Behold, I and the children that God has given me.
14 Efterdi da Børnene ere delagtige i Blod og Kød, blev ogsaa han i lige Maade delagtig deri, for at han ved Døden skulde gøre den magtesløs, som har Dødens Vælde, det er Djævelen,
Since therefore the children have partaken of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise shared the same things, so that through death he might make him who has the power of death impotent, that is, the devil.
15 og befri alle dem, som paa Grund af Dødsfrygt vare under Trældom al deres Livs Tid.
And he might liberate these, as many as throughout all their lifetime were deserving of bondage, with a specter of death.
16 Thi det er jo dog ikke Engle, han tager sig af, men Abrahams Sæd tager han sig af.
For he certainly did not embrace agents, but he embraced the seed of Abraham.
17 Derfor maatte han blive sine Brødre lig i alle Ting, for ‟at han kunde blive en barmhjertig og trofast Ypperstepræst over for Gud til at sone Folkets Synder.
Therefore he was obligated to be made like his brothers in accordance with all things, so that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in things toward God, in order to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.
18 Thi idet han har lidt, kan han som den, der selv er fristet, komme dem til Hjælp, som fristes.
For in that he himself has suffered, having been tempted, he is able to help those being tempted.
