Hebræerne 2
1 Derfor bør vi des mere agte paa det, vi have hørt, for at vi ikke skulle rives bort.
(On this account, we ought to attend the more earnestly to the things which were heard; lest at any time we should left them slip.
2 Thi naar det Ord, som taltes ved Engle, blev urokket, og hver Overtrædelse og Ulydighed fik velforskyldt Løn,
For if the word spoken by angels was firm, and every transgression and disobedience received a just retribution;
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 shall we escape if we neglect so great salvation? which, beginning to be spoken by the Lord, was confirmed to us by them who heard him;
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, bearing witness, both by signs and wonders, and divers miracles, and distributions of the Holy Spirit, according to his own pleasure.)
5 Thi det var ikke Engle, han underlagde den kommende Verden, om hvilken vi tale.
Moreover, he has not subjected to the angels the world to come, of which we are speaking.
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 one in a certain place has testified, saying, "What is man that thou art mindful of him--or the son of man, that thou dost regard him?
7 Du gjorde ham en kort Tid ringere end Engle; med Herlighed og Ære kronede du ham;
Thou hast made him a little lower than the angels; thou hast 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 hast put all things under his feet." Now, by putting all things in subjection to him, he left nothing that is not subject to him; but now, we do not yet see all things subjected 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 was made a little lower than the angels, that he, by the favor of God, might taste death for all; for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honor!
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 became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, to make him, who leads many sons to glory--even the Captain of their Salvation--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 they who are sanctified, are all of one Father; for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren;
12 naar han siger: „Jeg vil forkynde dit Navn for mine Brødre, midt i en Menighed vil jeg lovsynge dig.‟
saying, "I will announce thy name to my brethren: in the midst of the congregation I will sing praises 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 put my trust in him." And again, "Behold I, and the children whom 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, then, the children partook of flesh and blood; he, also, in like manner, partook of these; that, through death, he might vanquish him who had the power of death, that is, the devil;
15 og befri alle dem, som paa Grund af Dødsfrygt vare under Trældom al deres Livs Tid.
and deliver them, who, through fear of death, were all their lifetime subject to bondage.
16 Thi det er jo dog ikke Engle, han tager sig af, men Abrahams Sæd tager han sig af.
For, indeed, he has not at all assumed the nature of angels; but he has assumed 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.
Hence, it was necessary for him to be made like his brethren in all things; that he might be a merciful and faithful High Priest, in matters pertaining to God, in order to expiate 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, by what he suffered himself, when tried; he is able to succor them who are tried.
