Hebræerne 2
1 Derfor bør vi des mere agte på det, vi have hørt, for at vi ikke skulle rives bort.
Therefore ought we more diligently to observe the things which we have heard, lest perhaps we should let them slip.
2 Thi når det Ord, som taltes ved Engle, blev urokket, og hver Overtrædelse og Ulydighed f1k velforskyldt Løn,
For if the word, spoken by angels, became steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense of reward:
3 hvorledes skulle da vi undfly, når vi ikke bryde os om så 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 having begun to be declared by the Lord, was confirmed unto us by them that heard him.
4 idet Gud vidnede med både ved Tegn og Undere og mange Hånde kraftige Gerninger og ved Meddelelse af den Helligånd efter sin Villie.
God also bearing them witness by signs, and wonders, and divers miracles, and distributions of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will.
5 Thi det var ikke Engle, han underlagde den kommende Verden; om hvilken vi tale.
For God hath not subjected unto angels the world to come, whereof 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 one in a certain place hath testified, saying: What is man, that thou art mindful of him: or the son of man, that thou visitest 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 honour, and hast set him over the works of thy hands:
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 subjected all things under his feet. For in that he hath subjected all things to him, he left nothing not subject to him. But now we see not as yet all things subject to him.
9 men ham, som en kort Tid var bleven gjort ringere end Engle, Jesus, se vi på Grund af Dødens Lidelse kronet med Herlighed og Ære, for at han ved Guds Nåde må have smagt Døden for alle.
But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour: that, through the grace of God, he might taste death for all.
10 Thi det sømmede sig ham, for hvis Skyld alle Ting ere, og ved hvem alle Ting ere, når 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, who had brought many children into glory, to perfect the author of their salvation, by his passion.
11 Thi både den, som helliger, og de, som helliges, ere alle af een; hvorfor han ikke skammer sig ved at kalde dem Brødre,
For both he that sanctifieth, and they who are sanctified, are all of one. For which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren, saying:
12 når han siger: "Jeg vil forkynde dit Navn for mine Brødre, midt i en Menighed vil jeg lovsynge dig."
I will declare thy name to my brethren; in the midst of the church will I praise thee.
13 Og fremdeles: "Jeg vil forlade mig på 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 my children, whom God hath given me.
14 Efterdi da Børnene ere delagtige i Blod og Kød, blev også han i lige Måde delagtig deri, for at han ved Døden skulde gøre den magtesløs, som har Dødens Vælde, det er Djævelen,
Therefore because the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself in like manner hath been partaker of the same: that, through death, he might destroy him who had the empire of death, that is to say, the devil:
15 og befri alle dem, som på Grund af Dødsfrygt vare under Trældom al deres Livs Tid.
And might deliver them, who through the fear of death were all their lifetime subject to servitude.
16 Thi det er jo dog ikke Engle, han tager sig af, men Abrahams Sæd tager han sig af.
For no where doth he take hold of the angels: but of the seed of Abraham he taketh hold.
17 Derfor måtte 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.
Wherefore it behoved him in all things to be made like unto his brethren, that he might become a merciful and faithful priest before God, that he might be a propitiation 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, wherein he himself hath suffered and been tempted, he is able to succour them also that are tempted.
