< Hebræerne 9 >
1 Vel havde ogsaa den første Pagt Forskrifter for Gudstjenesten og en jordisk Helligdom.
Therefore the first covenant had also rites of worship and a worldly sanctuary.
2 Thi der var indrettet et Telt, det forreste, hvori Lysestagen var og Bordet og Skuebrødene, det, som jo kaldes det hellige.
For there was a tabernacle prepared; the first part, wherein was the candlestick, and the table, and the loaves set on it, which is called the sanctuary.
3 Men bag det andet Forhæng var et Telt, det, som kaldes det allerhelligste,
And beyond the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holy of holies, having the golden censer,
4 som havde et gyldent Røgelsealter og Pagtens Ark, overalt beklædt med Guld, i hvilken der var en Guldkrukke med Mannaen, og Arons Stav, som havde blomstret, og Pagtens Tavler,
and the ark of the covenant which was overlaid all round with gold, and in which was the golden pot with the manna in it, and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant;
5 men oven over den var Herlighedens Keruber, som overskyggede Naadestolen, hvorom der nu ikke skal tales enkeltvis.
and over it the cherubims of glory shadowing the mercyseat: of which it is not necessary now to speak particularly.
6 Idet nu dette er saaledes indrettet, gaa Præsterne til Stadighed ind i det forreste Telt, naar de forrette Tjenesten;
Now these things being thus disposed, the priests always went into the first part of the tabernacle to perform their daily services:
7 men i det andet gaar alene Ypperstepræsten ind een Gang om Aaret, ikke uden Blod, hvilket han ofrer for sig selv og Folkets Forseelser,
but into the second only the high-priest went once a year; and that not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the sins of the people committed through ignorance.
8 hvorved den Helligaand giver til Kende, at Vejen til Helligdommen endnu ikke er bleven aabenbar, saa længe det forreste Telt endnu staar,
The Holy Ghost shewing by this, that the way into the Holy of holies was not yet manifested, the first tabernacle being yet standing.
9 hvilket jo er et Sindbillede indtil den nærværende Tid, og stemmende hermed frembæres der baade Gaver og Ofre, som ikke i Henseende til Samvittigheden kunne fuldkomme den, der forretter sin Gudsdyrkelse,
Which figure remains to the present time, wherein gifts and sacrifices are offered, that cannot perfect the worshipper as to his conscience,
10 men som kun, ved Siden af Mad og Drikke og forskellige Tvættelser, ere kødelige Forskrifter, paalagte indtil den rette Ordnings Tid.
relating only to meats and drinks, and different washings, and such carnal ordinances as were required till the time of reformation.
11 Men da Kristus kom som Ypperstepræst for de kommende Goder, gik han igennem det større og fuldkomnere Telt, som ikke er gjort med Hænder, det er: Som ikke er af denne Skabning,
But Christ being come an high-priest of the good things to come, hath entered once for all into the holy places, through a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is, not of this building,
12 og gik ikke heller med Blod af Bukke eller Kalve, men med sit eget Blod een Gang for alle ind i Helligdommen og vandt en evig Forløsning. (aiōnios )
nor by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood, having obtained eternal redemption for us. (aiōnios )
13 Thi dersom Blodet af Bukke og Tyre og Aske af en Kvie ved at stænkes paa de besmittede helliger til Kødets Renhed:
For if the blood of bulls and goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purification of the flesh;
14 Hvor meget mere skal da Kristi Blod, hans, som ved en evig Aand frembar sig selv lydeløs for Gud, rense eders Samvittighed fra døde Gerninger til at tjene den levende Gud? (aiōnios )
how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself spotless to God, purify your conscience from dead works, that ye may serve the living God? (aiōnios )
15 Og derfor er han Mellemmand for en ny Pagt, for at de kaldede, da der har fundet Død Sted til Genløsning fra Overtrædelserne under den første Pagt, maa faa den evige Arvs Forjættelse. (aiōnios )
And on this account He is the mediator of a new covenant, that undergoing death for the redemption of transgressions against the first covenant, they that are called might receive the promise of an eternal inheritance. (aiōnios )
16 Thi hvor der er en Arvepagt, der er det nødvendigt, at hans Død, som har oprettet Pagten, skal godtgøres.
For where a testament is, there is a necessity of proving the death of the testator.
17 Thi en Arvepagt er urokkelig efter døde, da den ingen Sinde træder i Kraft, medens den, som har oprettet den, lever.
For a testament is valid after men are dead, but is of no force while the testator is living.
18 Derfor er heller ikke den første bleven indviet uden Blod.
Whence neither was the first covenant entered into without blood:
19 Thi da hvert Bud efter Loven var forkyndt af Moses for hele Folket, tog han Kalve- og Bukkeblod med Vand og skarlagenrød Uld og Isop og bestænkede baade Bogen selv og hele Folket, idet han sagde:
for when every command was spoken according to the law, by Moses to all the people, he took the blood of calves and goats, with water and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled the book and all the people,
20 „Dette er den Pagts Blod, hvilken Gud har paalagt eder.”
saying, this is the blood of the covenant, which God hath enjoined you.
21 Og Tabernakelet og alle Tjenestens Redskaber bestænkede han ligeledes med Blodet.
And the tabernacle, and all the vessels of public worship he likewise sprinkled with blood.
22 Og næsten alt bliver efter Loven renset med Blod, og uden Blods Udgydelse sker der ikke Forladelse.
And according to the law almost all things are purified with blood; and without shedding of blood there is no remission.
23 Altsaa var det en Nødvendighed, at Afbildningerne af de himmelske Ting skulde renses herved, men selve de himmelske Ting ved bedre Ofre end disse.
It was therefore necessary that the representations of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with more excellent sacrifices than these.
24 Thi Kristus gik ikke ind i en Helligdom, som var gjort med Hænder og kun var et Billede af den sande, men ind i selve Himmelen for nu at træde frem for Guds Ansigt til Bedste for os;
For Christ is not entered into holy places made with hands, which were but types of the true ones; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:
25 ikke heller for at han skulde ofre sig selv mange Gange, ligesom Ypperstepræsten hvert Aar gaar ind i Helligdommen med fremmed Blod;
nor to offer Himself often, as the high-priest entereth into the holy of holies every year with the blood of others;
26 ellers havde han maattet lide mange Gange fra Verdens Grundlæggelse; men nu er han een Gang for alle ved Tidernes Fuldendelse aabenbaret for at bortskaffe Synden ved sit Offer. (aiōn )
(for then He must indeed have suffered often since the foundation of the world) but now once at the conclusion of the ages He hath been made manifest for the abolishing of sin by the sacrifice of himself. (aiōn )
27 Og ligesom det er Menneskene beskikket at dø een Gang og derefter Dom,
And as it is appointed to men once to die, and after this the judgement;
28 saaledes skal ogsaa Kristus, efter at være bleven een Gang ofret for at bære manges Synder, anden Gang, uden Synd, vise sig for dem, som forvente ham til Frelse.
so Christ, having been once offered to bear the sins of many, shall appear the second time without sin, to those who are waiting for Him, unto salvation.
