Hebræerne 8
1 Men Hovedpunktet ved det, hvorom her tales, er dette: vi have en sådan Ypperstepræst, der har taget Sæde på højre Side af Majestætens Trone i Himlene
Now in the things which we are saying, the main point is this. We have such a high priest, who sat down on 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 servant of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord set up, and not man.
3 Thi hver Ypperstepræst indsættes til at frembære Gaver og Slagtofre; derfor er det nødvendigt, at også denne må have noget at frembære.
For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices. Therefore it is necessary that this high priest also have something to offer.
4 Dersom han nu var på Jorden, da var han ikke engang Præst, efterdi der her er dem, som frembære Gaverne efter Loven;
Now if he were on earth, he would not be a priest at all, seeing there are priests who offer the gifts according to the Law;
5 hvilke jo tjene ved en Afbildning og Skygge af det himmelske, således som det blev Moses betydet af Gud, da han skulde indrette Tabernaklet: "Se til, sagde han, at du gør alting efter det Forbillede, der blev vist dig på Bjerget."
who serve a copy and shadow of the heavenly things, even as Moses was warned when he was about to make the tabernacle, for he said, "See that you make everything according to the pattern that was shown to you on the mountain."
6 Men nu har han fået en så meget ypperligere Tjeneste, som han også er Mellemmand for en bedre Pagt, der jo er grundet på bedre Forjættelser.
But now he has obtained a more excellent ministry, by so much as he is also the mediator of a better covenant, which on better promises has been given as Law.
7 Thi dersom hin første var udadlelig, da vilde der ikke blive søgt Sted for en anden.
For if that first had been faultless, then 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 said, "Look, the days are coming," says the Lord, "when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah;
9 ikke som den Pagt, jeg gjorde med deres Fædre på den Dag, da jeg tog dem ved Hånden 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 according to the covenant that I made with their fathers, in the day that I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; for they did not continue 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; "I will put my laws into their mind, I will also write them on their heart. I will be their God, and they will be my 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.
They will not teach each one his fellow citizen, and each one his brother, saying, 'Know the Lord,' for all will know me, from the least of them to the greatest of them.
12 Thi jeg vil være nådig imod deres Uretfærdigheder og ikke mere ihukomme deres Synder."
For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness. I will remember their sins no more."
13 Når han siger: "en ny", har han erklæret den første for gammel; men det, som bliver gammelt og ældes, er nu ved at forsvinde.
In that he says, "new," he has made the first old. But that which is becoming old and grows aged is near to vanishing away.
