Hebrews 8
1 Now a summary of the things of which we are speaking [is], We have such a one high priest who has sat down on [the] right hand of the throne of the greatness 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 minister of the holy places and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord has pitched, [and] not man.
som Tjener ved Helligdommen og det sande Tabernakel, hvilket Herren har oprejst, og ikke et Menneske.
3 For every high priest is constituted for the offering both of gifts and sacrifices; whence it is needful that this one also should have something which he may offer.
Thi hver Ypperstepræst indsættes til at frembære Gaver og Slagtofre; derfor er det nødvendigt, at ogsaa denne maa have noget at frembære.
4 If then indeed he were upon earth, he would not even be a priest, there being those who offer the 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 (who serve the representation and shadow of heavenly things, according as Moses was oracularly told [when] about to make the tabernacle; for See, saith He, that thou make all things according to the pattern which has been shewn to thee in 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 got a more excellent ministry, by so much as he is mediator of a better covenant, which is established on the footing of 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 that first was faultless, place had not been sought for a second.
Thi dersom hin første var udadlelig, da vilde der ikke blive søgt Sted for en anden.
8 For finding fault, he says to them, Behold, days come, saith the Lord, and I will consummate a new covenant as regards the house of Israel, and as regards the house of Juda;
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 covenant which I made to their fathers in [the] day of my taking their hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they did not continue in my covenant, and I did not regard them, saith [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 Because this [is] the covenant that I will covenant to the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord: Giving my laws into their mind, I will write them also upon their hearts; and I will be to them for God, and they shall be to me for 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 shall not teach each his fellow-citizen, and each his brother, saying, Know the Lord; because all shall know me in themselves, from [the] little one [among them] unto [the] great among 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 Because I will be merciful to their unrighteousnesses, and their sins and their lawlessnesses I will never remember any more.
Thi jeg vil være naadig imod deres Uretfærdigheder og ikke mere ihukomme deres Synder.‟
13 In that he says New, he has made the first old; but that which grows old and aged [is] near disappearing.
Naar han siger: „En ny‟, har han erklæret den første for gammel; men det, som bliver gammelt og ældes, er nær ved at forsvinde.
