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 concerning the things that have been spoken, the principal point is this: We have such a high priest, who has taken his seat at 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 holy places, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and 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 gifts and sacrifices: wherefore, it is necessary that this one also have something which he may offer.
4 Dersom han nu var paa Jorden, da var han ikke engang Præst, efterdi der her er dem, som frembære Gaverne efter Loven;
For if he were on earth, he could not be a priest; because there are priests that offer 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.‟
and these serve the copy and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: See now, says he, that you make all things according to the pattern shown you 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 he has obtained a more excellent ministry, inasmuch as he is the mediator of a better covenant, which is established with reference to 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, no place would 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 says: Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will ratify a new covenant for the house of Israel, and for 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 like the covenant which I made with their fathers, in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt: because they continued not in my covenant, and I disregarded them, says 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, says the Lord; putting my laws into their understanding, I will also write them upon their hearts; 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 one his citizen, and every one his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least of them to the greatest;
12 Thi jeg vil være naadig imod deres Uretfærdigheder og ikke mere ihukomme deres Synder.‟
because I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities I will 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 saying, A new covenant, he has regarded the first as out of use. Now, that which is out of use, and has become old, is ready to disappear.
