Hebræerne 9
1 Vel havde også den første Pagt Forskrifter for Gudstjenesten og en jordisk Helligdom.
It is true that even the first covenant had its regulations for divine worship, and its sanctuary – though only a material one.
2 Thi der var indrettet et Telt, det forreste, hvori Lysestagen var og Bordet og Skuebrødene, det, som jo kaldes det Hellige.
For a tent was constructed, with an outer part which contained the stand for the lamps, and the table, and the consecrated bread. This is called the sanctuary.
3 Men bag det andet Forhæng var et Telt, det, som kaldes det Allerhelligste,
The part of the tent behind the second curtain is called the inner sanctuary.
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,
In it is the gold incense-altar, and the ark containing the covenant, completely covered with gold. In the ark is a gold casket containing the manna, Aaron’s rod that budded, and the tablets on which the covenant was written;
5 men oven over den var Herlighedens Keruber, som overskyggede Nådestolen, hvorom der nu ikke skal tales enkeltvis.
while above it, and overshadowing the cover on which atonement was made, are the cherubim of the presence. Now is not the time to discuss these things in detail.
6 Idet nu dette er således indrettet, gå Præsterne til Stadighed ind i det forreste Telt, når de forrette Tjenesten;
Such, then, was the arrangement of the tent. Into the outer part priests are constantly going, in the discharge of their sacred duties;
7 men i det andet går alene Ypperstepræsten ind een Gang om Året, ikke uden Blod, hvilket han ofrer for sig selv og Folkets Forseelser,
but into the inner only the high priest goes, and that but once a year, and never without taking the blood of a victim, which he offers on his own behalf, and on behalf of the errors of the people.
8 hvorved den Helligånd giver til Kende, at Vejen til Helligdommen endnu ikke er bleven åbenbar, så længe det førreste Telt endnu står,
By this the Holy Spirit is teaching that the way into the sanctuary was hidden, as long as the outer part of the tent still remained.
9 hvilket jo er et Sindbillede indtil den nærværende Tid, og stemmende hermed frembæres der både Gaver og Ofre, som ikke i Henseende til Samvittigheden kunne fuldkomme den, der forretter sin Gudsdyrkelse,
For that was only a type, to continue down to the present time; and, in keeping with it, both gifts and sacrifices are offered, though incapable of satisfying the conscience of the worshiper;
10 men som kun, ved Siden af Mad og Drikke og forskellige Tvættelser, ere kødelige Forskrifter, pålagte indtil den rette Ordnings Tid.
the whole system being concerned only with food and drink and various ablutions – external ceremonials imposed until the coming of the new order.
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, when Christ came, he appeared as high priest of that better system which was established; and he entered through that nobler and more perfect tent, not made by human hands – that is to say, not a part of this present creation.
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 g166)
Nor was it with the blood of goats and calves, but with his own blood, that he entered, once and for all, into the sanctuary, and obtained our eternal deliverance. (aiōnios g166)
13 Thi dersom Blodet af Bukke og Tyre og Aske af en Kvie ved at stænkes på de besmittede helliger til Kødets Renhed:
For, if the blood of goats and bulls, and the sprinkling of the ashes of a heifer, purify those who have been defiled (as far as ceremonial purification goes),
14 hvor meget mere skal da Kristi Blod, hans, som ved en evig Ånd frembar sig selv lydeløs for Gud, rense eders Samvittighed fra døde Gerninger til at tjene den levende Gud? (aiōnios g166)
how much more will the blood of the Christ, who, through his eternal Spirit, offered himself up to God, as a victim without blemish, purify our consciences from a lifeless formality, and fit us for the service of the living God! (aiōnios g166)
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, må få den evige Arvs Forjættelse. (aiōnios g166)
And that is why he is the intermediary of a new covenant; in order that, as a death has taken place to effect a deliverance from the offences committed under the first covenant, those who have received the call may obtain the eternal inheritance promised to them. (aiōnios g166)
16 Thi hvor der er en Arvepagt, der er det nødvendigt, at hans Død, som har oprettet Pagten, skal godtgøres.
Whenever such a covenant as a will is in question, the death of the testator must of necessity be alleged.
17 Thi en Arvepagt er urokkelig efter døde, da den ingen Sinde træder i Kraft, medens den, som har oprettet den, lever.
For such a covenant takes effect only on death, it does not come into force as long as the testator is alive.
18 Derfor er heller ikke den første bleven indviet uden Blod
This explains why even the first covenant was not ratified without the shedding of 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 både Bogen selv og hele Folket, idet han sagde:
For, when every command had been announced to all the people by Moses in accordance with the Law, he took the blood of the calves and of the goats, with water, scarlet wool, and a bunch of hyssop, and sprinkled even the book of the Law, as well as all the people,
20 "Dette er den Pagts Blod, hvilken Gud har pålagt eder."
saying, as he did so – ‘This is the blood that renders valid the covenant which God has commanded to be made with you.’
21 Og Tabernaklet og alle Tjenestens Redskaber bestænkede han ligeledes med Blodet.
And in the same way he also sprinkled with the blood the tent and all the things that were used in public worship.
22 Og næsten alt bliver efter Loven renset med Blod, og uden Blods Udgydelse sker der ikke Forladelse.
Indeed, under the Law, almost everything is purified with blood; and, unless blood is shed, no forgiveness is to be obtained.
23 Altså var det en Nødvendighed, at Afbildningerne af de himmelske Ting skulde renses herved, men selve de himmelske Ting ved bedre Ofre end disse.
While, then, it was necessary for the copies of the heavenly realities to be purified by such means as these, the heavenly realities themselves required better sacrifices.
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 it was not into a sanctuary made by human hands, which merely foreshadowed the true one, that Christ entered, but into heaven itself, so that he might now appear in the presence of God on our behalf.
25 ikke heller for at han skulde ofre sig selv mange Gange, ligesom Ypperstepræsten hvert År går ind i Helligdommen med fremmed Blod;
Nor yet was it to offer himself may times, as year after year the high priest entered the sanctuary with an offering of blood – but not his own blood;
26 ellers havde han måttet lide mange Gange fra Verdens Grundlæggelse; men nu er han een Gang for alle ved Tidernes Fuldendelse åbenbaret for at bortskaffe Synden ved sit Offer. (aiōn g165)
for then Christ would have had to undergo death many times since the creation of the world. But now, once and for all, at the close of the age, he has appeared, in order to abolish sin by the sacrifice of himself. (aiōn g165)
27 Og ligesom det er Menneskene beskikket at dø een Gang og derefter Dom,
And, as it is ordained for people to die but once (death being followed by judgment),
28 således skal også Kristus, efter at være bleven een Gang ofret for at bære manges Synder, anden Gang, uden Synd, vise sig for dem, som foruente ham til Frelse.
so it is with the Christ. He was offered up once and for all, to bear away the sins of many; and the second time he will appear – but without any burden of sin – to those who are waiting for him, to bring salvation.
