Hebræerne 5
1 Thi hver Ypperstepræst tages iblandt Mennesker og indsættes for Mennesker til Tjenesten for Gud, for at han skal frembære både Gaver og Slagtofre for Synder,
For every High Priest is chosen from among men, and is appointed to act on behalf of men in matters relating to God, in order to offer both gifts and sin-offerings,
2 som en, der kan bære over med de vankundige og vildfarende, eftersom han også selv er stedt i Skrøbelighed
and must be one who is able to bear patiently with the ignorant and erring, because he himself also is beset with infirmity.
3 og for dens Skyld må frembære Syndoffer, som for Folket således også for sig selv
And for this reason he is required to offer sin-offerings not only for the people but also for himself.
4 Og ingen tager sig selv den Ære, men han kaldes af Gud, ligesom jo også Aron.
And no one takes this honourable office upon himself, but only accepts it when called to it by God, as Aaron was.
5 Således har ej heller Kristus tillagt sig selv den Ære at blive Ypperstepræst, men den, som sagde til ham: "Du er min Søn, jeg har født dig i Dag,"
So Christ also did not claim for Himself the honour of being made High Priest, but was appointed to it by Him who said to Him, "My Son art Thou: I have to-day become Thy Father;"
6 som han jo også siger et andet Sted: "Du er Præst til evig Tid, efter Melkisedeks Vis," (aiōn g165)
as also in another passage He says, "Thou art a priest for ever, belonging to the order of Melchizedek." (aiōn g165)
7 han, som i sit Køds Dage med stærkt Råb og Tårer frembar Bønner og ydmyge Begæringer til den, der kunde frelse ham fra Døden, og blev bønhørt i sin Angst,
For Jesus during his earthly life offered up prayers and entreaties, crying aloud and weeping as He pleaded with Him who was able to bring Him in safety out of death, and He was delivered from the terror from which He shrank.
8 og således, endskønt han var Søn, lærte Lydighed af det, han led,
Although He was God's Son, yet He learned obedience from the sufferings which He endured;
and so, having been made perfect, He became to all who obey Him the source and giver of eternal salvation. (aiōnios g166)
10 idet han af Gud blev kaldt Ypperstepræst efter Melkisedeks Vis.
For God Himself addresses Him as a High Priest for ever, belonging to the order of Melchizedek.
11 Herom have vi meget at sige, og det er vanskeligt at forklare, efterdi I ere blevne sløve til at høre.
Concerning Him we have much to say, and much that it would be difficult to make clear to you, since you have become so dull of apprehension.
12 Thi skønt I efter Tiden endog burde være Lærere, trænge I atter til, at man skal lære eder Begyndelsesgrundene i Guds Ord, og I ere blevne sådanne, som trænge til Mælk og ikke til fast Føde.
For although, considering the long time you have been believers, you ought now to be teachers of others, you really need some one to teach you over again the very rudiments of the truths of God, and you have come to require milk instead of solid food.
13 Thi hver, som får Mælk, er ukyndig i den rette Tale, thi han er spæd;
By people who live on milk I mean those who are imperfectly acquainted with the teaching concerning righteousness.
14 men for de fuldkomne er den faste Føde, for dem, som på Grund af deres Erfaring have Sanserne øvede til at skelne mellem godt og ondt.
Such persons are mere babes. But solid food is for adults--that is, for those who through constant practice have their spiritual faculties carefully trained to distinguish good from evil.
