< Hebrews 13 >
1 May love for each other as brothers and sisters always continue!
Broderkærligheden blive ved!
2 Don't forget to show love for strangers too, because by doing so some have welcomed angels without knowing it.
Glemmer ikke Gæstfriheden; thi ved den have nogle, uden at vide det, haft Engle til Gæster.
3 Remember those who are locked up in prison as if you were imprisoned with them. Remember those who are mistreated as if you were physically suffering with them.
Kommer de fangne i Hu, som vare I selv medfangne; dem, der lide ilde, som de, der også selv ere i et Legeme.
4 Everyone should honor marriage. Husbands and wives should be faithful to each other. God will judge adulterers.
Ægteskabet være æret hos alle, og Ægtesengen ubesmittet; thi utugtige og Horkarle skal Gud dømme.
5 Don't love money; be content with what you have. God himself has said, “I'll never let you down; I'll never give up on you.”
Eders Vandel være uden Pengegridskhed, nøjes med det, I have; thi han har selv sagt: "Jeg vil ingenlunde slippe dig og ingenlunde forlade dig,"
6 That's why we can confidently say, “The Lord is the one who helps me, so I won't be afraid. What can anyone do to me?”
så at vi kunne sige med frit Mod: "Herren er min Hjælper, jeg vil ikke frygte; hvad kan et Menneske gøre mig?"
7 Remember your leaders who explained God's word to you. Look again at the results of their lives, and imitate their trust in God.
Kommer eders Vejledere i Hu, som have forkyndt eder Guds Ord, og idet I betragte deres Vandrings Udgang, så efterligner deres Tro!
8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. (aiōn )
Jesus Kristus er i Går og i Dag den samme, ja, til evig Tid. (aiōn )
9 Don't get distracted by different kinds of strange teachings. It's good for the mind to be convinced by grace, not by laws concerning what we eat. Those who followed such laws didn't gain anything.
Lader eder ikke lede vild af mange Hånde og fremmede Lærdomme; thi det er godt, at Hjertet styrkes ved Nåden, ikke ved Spiser; thi deraf have de, som holdt sig dertil, ingen Nytte haft.
10 We have an altar that those priests of the Tabernacle have no right to eat from.
Vi have et Alter, hvorfra de, som tjene ved Tabernaklet, ikke have Ret til at spise.
11 The carcasses of the animals, whose blood is carried by the high priest into the most holy place as an offering for sin, are burned outside the camp.
Thi de Dyr, hvis Blod for Syndens Skyld bæres ind i Helligdommen af Ypperstepræsten, deres Kroppe opbrændes uden for Lejren.
12 In the same way Jesus also died outside the city gate so that he could make God's people holy through his own blood.
Derfor led også Jesus uden for Porten, for at han kunde hellige Folket ved sit eget Blod.
13 So let us go out to him, outside the camp, experiencing and sharing in his shame.
Så lader os da gå ud til ham uden for Lejren, idet vi bære hans Forsmædelse;
14 For we don't have a permanent city to live in here, we're looking for the home that is still to come.
thi her have vi ikke en blivende Stad, men vi søge den kommende.
15 So let us through Jesus always offer a sacrifice of praise to God—this means speaking well of God, declaring his character.
Lader os da ved ham altid frembære Gud Lovprisnings Offer, det er: en Frugt af Læber, som bekende hans Navn.
16 And don't forget to do what is good, and to share with others what you have, for God is pleased when you make such sacrifices.
Men glemmer ikke at gøre vel og at meddele; thi i sådanne Ofre har Gud Velbehag.
17 Follow your leaders, and do what they tell you, for they are watching out for you and are accountable. Act in such a way that they can do this happily—and not with sadness, for that wouldn't help you!
Lyder eders Vejledere og retter eder efter dem; thi de våge over, eders Sjæle som de, der skulle gøre Regnskab - for at de må gøre dette med Glæde og ikke sukkende: thi dette er eder ikke gavnligt.
18 Please pray for us. We're convinced we have acted in good conscience, always wanting to do what's good and right in every situation.
Beder for os; thi vi ere forvissede om, at vi have en god Samvittighed, idet vi ønske at vandre rettelig i alle Ting.
19 I really want you to pray hard so that I can come back to see you soon.
Og jeg formaner eder des mere til at gøre dette, for at jeg desto snarere kan gives eder igen.
20 Now may the God of peace who raised our Lord Jesus, the great shepherd of the sheep, from the dead, with the blood of an eternal agreement— (aiōnios )
Men Fredens Gud, som førte den store Fårenes Hyrde, vor Herre Jesus, op fra de døde med en evig Pagts Blod, (aiōnios )
21 may he provide you with all that is good so you can do his will. May he work in us, doing everything that pleases him, through Jesus Christ—glory to him forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn )
han bringe eder til Fuldkommenhed i alt godt, til at gøre hans Villie, og han virke i eder det, som er velbehageligt for hans Åsyn, ved Jesus Kristus: ham være Æren i Evighedernes Evigheder: Amen. (aiōn )
22 I want to encourage you, brothers and sisters, to pay attention to what I've written to you in this short letter.
Jeg beder eder, Brødre! at I finde eder i dette Formaningsord; thi jeg har jo skrevet til eder i Korthed.
23 You should know that Timothy has been set free. If he gets here soon, I will come with him to see you.
Vid, at vor Broder Timotheus er løsladt; sammen med ham vil jeg se eder, dersom han snart kommer.
24 Give my greetings to all your leaders, and to all the believers there. The believers here in Italy send their greetings.
Hilser alle eders Vejledere og alle de hellige! De fra Italien hilse eder.
25 May God's grace be with all of you. Amen.
Nåden være med eder alle!
