Hebrews 8
1 Now the main point in the things that have been stated is this: that we have so great a High Priest, who is seated at the right hand of the throne of Majesty in the heavens,
Men Hovedpunktet ved det, hvorom her tales, er dette: Vi have en saadan Ypperstepræst, der har taget Sæde paa højre Side af Majestætens Trone i Himlene
2 who is the minister of holy things, and of the true tabernacle, which was established by the Lord, not by man.
som Tjener ved Helligdommen og det sande Tabernakel, hvilket Herren har oprejst, og ikke et Menneske.
3 For every high priest is appointed to offer gifts and sacrifices. Therefore, it is necessary for him also to have something to offer.
Thi hver Ypperstepræst indsættes til at frembære Gaver og Slagtofre; derfor er det nødvendigt, at ogsaa denne maa have noget at frembære.
4 And so, if he were upon the earth, he would not be a priest, since there would be others to offer gifts according to the law,
Dersom han nu var paa Jorden, da var han ikke engang Præst, efterdi der her er dem, som frembære Gaverne efter Loven;
5 gifts which serve as mere examples and shadows of the heavenly things. And so it was answered to Moses, when he was about to complete the tabernacle: “See to it,” he said, “that you make everything according to the example which was revealed to you on the mountain.”
hvilke jo tjene ved en Afbildning og Skygge af det himmelske, saaledes som det blev Moses betydet af Gud, da han skulde indrette Tabernakelet: „Se til, sagde han, at du gør alting efter det Forbillede, der blev vist dig paa Bjerget.‟
6 But now he has been granted a better ministry, so much so that he is also the Mediator of a better testament, which has been confirmed by better promises.
Men nu har han faaet en saa meget ypperligere Tjeneste, som han ogsaa er Mellemmand for en bedre Pagt, der jo er grundet paa bedre Forjættelser.
7 For if the former one had been entirely without fault, then a place certainly would not have been sought for a subsequent one.
Thi dersom hin første var udadlelig, da vilde der ikke blive søgt Sted for en anden.
8 For, finding fault with them, he says: “Behold, the days shall arrive, says the Lord, when I will consummate a New Testament over the house of Israel and the house of Judah,
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;
9 not according to the testament which I made with their fathers, on the day when I took them by the hand, so that I might lead them away from the land of Egypt. For they did not remain in my testament, and so I disregarded them, says the Lord.
ikke som den Pagt, jeg gjorde med deres Fædre paa den Dag, da jeg tog dem ved Haanden for at føre dem ud af Ægyptens Land; thi de bleve ikke i min Pagt, og jeg brød ‟mig ikke om dem, siger Herren.
10 For this is the testament which I will set before the house of Israel, after those days, says the Lord. I will instill my laws in their minds, and I will inscribe my laws on their hearts. And so, I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
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.
11 And they will not teach, each one his neighbor, and each one his brother, saying: ‘Know the Lord.’ For all shall know me, from the least, even to the greatest of them.
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.
12 For I will forgive their iniquities, and I will no longer remember their sins.”
Thi jeg vil være naadig imod deres Uretfærdigheder og ikke mere ihukomme deres Synder.‟
13 Now in saying something new, he has made the former old. But that which decays and grows old is close to passing away.
Naar han siger: „En ny‟, har han erklæret den første for gammel; men det, som bliver gammelt og ældes, er nær ved at forsvinde.
