Hebræerne 4

1 Lader os derfor, da der endnu står en Forjættelse tilbage om at indgå til hans Hvile, vogte os for, at nogen af eder skal mene, at han er kommen for silde.

Let us fear, therefore, lest, while there is a confirmed promise of an entrance into his rest, any one shall be found among you remaining from entering in.

2 Thi også os er der forkyndt godt Budskab ligesom hine; men Ordet, som de hørte, hjalp ikke dem, fordi det ikke var forenet med Troen hos dem, som hørte det.

For we have been evangelized as well as they: but the word which they heard did not profit them, because not contempered with faith in them who heard it.

3 Thi vi gå ind til Hvilen, vi, som ere komne til Troen, efter hvad han har sagt: "Så svor jeg i min Vrede: Sandelig, de skulle ikke gå ind til min Hvile", omendskønt Gerningerne vare fuldbragte fra Verdens Grundlæggelse.

But we enter into the rest, we (being of) those (who) have believed. But as He hath said, So I sware in my wrath, that they should not enter into my rest: for, behold, the works of Aloha from the beginning of the world were.

4 Thi han har et Sted sagt om den syvende Dag således: "Og Gud hvilede på den syvende Dag fra alle sine Gerninger."

As he said concerning the shabath, God rested on the seventh day from all his works.

5 Og fremdeles på dette Sted: "Sandelig, de skulle ikke gå ind til min Hvile."

Yet here again he saith, They shall not enter into my rest.

6 Efterdi der altså står tilbage, at nogle skulle gå ind til den, og de, hvem der først blev forkyndt godt Budskab, ikke gik ind for deres Genstridigheds Skyld:

Therefore, because there was a place into which every one of them might have entered, and they who had it announced first did not enter in, forasmuch as they would not be persuaded;

7 så bestemmer han atter en Dag: "I Dag", siger han ved David så lang Tid efter, (som ovenfor sagt): "I Dag, når I høre hans Røst, da forhærder ikke eders Hjerter!"

---moreover, (as) another day he appointeth, after much time; as above it is written, that David hath said, To-day if his voice ye will hear, harden not your hearts;

8 Thi dersom Josva havde skaffet dem Hvile, da vilde han ikke tale om en anden Dag siden efter.

---but if Jeshu-bar-Nun had established them in rest, he not have spoken afterwards of another day:

9 Altså er der en Sabbatshvile tilbage for Guds Folk.

---Therefore, yet to enjoy a shabathism is confirmed to the people of Aloha.

10 Thi den, som er gået ind til hans Hvile, også han har fået Hvile fra sine Gerninger, ligesom Gud fra sine.

For he who is entered into his rest hath also reposed himself from his works, as Aloha (did) from his.

11 Lader os derfor gøre os Flid for at gå ind til hin Hvile, for at ikke nogen skal falde ved den samme Genstridighed, som hine gave Eksempel på.

Let us, therefore, anxiously endeavour to enter into that rest, that we fall not after the manner of those who were not persuaded.

12 Thi Guds Ord er levende og kraftigt og skarpere end noget tveægget Sværd og trænger igennem, indtil det deler Sjæl og Ånd, Ledemod såvel som Marv, og dømmer over Hjertets Tanker og Råd.

For living is the Word of Aloha, and all-acting, and more penetrating than a two-edged sword, and entereth to the separation of the soul and the spirit, and of the joints, and of the marrow, and the bones, and discerneth the reasonings and counsel of the heart.

13 Og ingen Skabning er usynlig for hans Åsyn; men alle Ting ere nøgne og udspændte for hans Øjne, hvem vi stå til Regnskab.

Neither is there any creature that is concealed from before him; but every thing (is) naked and manifest before his eyes, to whom they shall give account.

14 Efterdi vi altså have en stor Ypperstepræst, som er gået igennem Himlene, Jesus, Guds Søn, da lader os holde fast ved Bekendelsen!

Therefore having such a great High Priest, Jeshu Meshiha, the Son of Aloha, who hath ascended to heaven, let us persevere in the confession of him.

15 Thi vi have ikke en Ypperstepræst, som ej kan have Medlidenhed med vore Skrøbeligheder, men en sådan, som er fristet i alle Ting i Lighed med os, dog uden Synd.

For we have not an high priest who cannot suffer along with our infirmity, but (one) who, tempted in every thing as we, (was) separate from sin.

16 Derfor lader os træde frem med Frimodighed for Nådens Trone, for at vi kunne få Barmhjertighed og finde Nåde til betimelig Hjælp.

Let us therefore approach with confidence to the throne of his grace, that we may receive mercy, and find grace for help in the time of affliction.
