< Hebrews 13 >
1 Continue to love your fellow believers.
Blifver faste i broderlig kärlek.
2 Do not forget to be hospitable to needy travelers [LIT]. You need to know that by being hospitable, some people have entertained angels without knowing it.
Förgäter icke att herberga; ty dermed hafva somliga fått Änglar, ovetandes, till herberges.
3 Remember [to help] those who are in prison [because they are Christians], as though you were in prison with them. Remember those who are being mistreated {whom people are mistreating} [because they are believers. As you do that], consider that you you could suffer as they do.
Tänker på dem som bundne äro, såsom medbundne; och på dem som bedröfvelse lida, såsom de der ock af lekamenen äro.
4 You must (respect/keep sacred) the marriage relationship in every way, and you must keep sexual relations [EUP] pure, because God will surely condemn those who act immorally and those who act adulterously.
Ägtenskapet skall hållas ärligit ibland alla, och ägtenskapets säng obesmittad; men bolare och horkarlar skall Gud döma.
5 Live without constantly coveting money, and be content with the things you possess, remembering what [Moses] wrote [that God] has said [about supplying what you need], I will never leave you, I will never stop providing for you [DOU].
Umgängelsen vare utan girighet; och låter eder nöja med det I hafven; ty han sade: Jag skall icke öfvergifva eller förlåta dig;
6 So we can say confidently [as the Psalmist said], Since the Lord is the one who helps me, I will not be afraid! People can do nothing to me [that will deprive me of God’s blessings] [RHQ].
Så att vi dristeliga måga säga: Herren är min hjelpare, och jag vill icke frukta; hvad kan en menniska göra mig?
7 Your spiritual leaders used to tell you the message from God [before they died]. Remember how they conducted their lives. By considering (how they died/what resulted from how they lived), imitate how they believed [in Christ/God].
Tänker på edra lärare, de eder Guds ord sagt hafva, och efterföljer deras tro; skådande hvad ända deras umgängelse hade.
8 Jesus Christ [is] the same now as he was previously, and he will be the same forever. (aiōn )
Jesus Christus i går och i dag, och han desslikes i evighet. (aiōn )
9 [So], do not let yourselves be diverted {let anything divert you} so that you believe various teachings [that are contrary to God’s truth]. It is good that God acts kindly toward us so that we may be strengthened spiritually. [Obeying rules about] various foods, rules that have not benefited those who obeyed them, will not benefit us.
Låter eder icke omföras med mångahanda och främmande lärdom; ty det är godt att stadfästa hjertat med nådene; icke med maten; hvilken intet gagnat hafver dem, som dermed umgått hafva.
10 We have [Jesus] [MTY]. All those who continue to observe the Jewish rituals [MTY] of sacrifice have no right to obtain the benefits of his sacrifice [MET].
Vi hafve ett altare, af hvilko de hafva icke magt att äta, som tjena i tabernaklet.
11 After the high priest brings into the most holy place the blood of animals [that they have sacrificed to atone] for sins, the bodies of those animals are burned {they burn the bodies of those animals} outside the camp.
Ty ehvad djurs blod, som öfverste Presten, för syndene, inbär uti det heliga, deras kroppar uppbrännas utom lägret.
12 Similarly, Jesus suffered [and died] outside the gate [of Jerusalem] in order that he might make [us], his people, holy by [offering] his own blood [as a sacrifice to atone for our sins].
Derföre ock Jesus, på det han skulle helga folket med sitt eget blod, hafver han lidit utom porten.
13 So, we must abandon [performing Jewish] sacrifices and rituals [MET] [in order to be saved], and let us go to Jesus [to be saved]. As we do that, we must [be willing to] let others reproach us just like people reproached Jesus.
Så låt oss nu gå ut till honom utu lägret, och bära hans smälek.
14 Here on earth, we believers do not have a city [such as Jerusalem where we must] continually [offer sacrifices] [MET]. Instead, we are waiting for a future [heavenly] city [that will last forever].
Ty vi hafve här ingen varaktig stad, utan vi sökom efter den tillkommande.
15 With [the help of] Jesus, we must continually praise God. That will be something we can sacrifice [to him] [MET] [instead of our sacrificing animals only at specific times]. Specifically, we must say openly [MTY] [that we have trusted] in Christ [MTY].
Så låt oss nu genom honom alltid offra Gudi lofoffer, det är, läpparnas frukt, de hans Namn bekänna.
16 Be continually [LIT] doing good deeds [for others], and be continually sharing [with others the things you have], because doing things like that will [also] be [as though you are offering] sacrifices that will please God.
Förgäter icke göra väl, och meddela; ty sådana offer täckas Gudi.
17 Obey your [spiritual] leaders; do what they tell you, since they are the ones who are looking out for your spiritual welfare [SYN]. [Some day] they will have to stand before God so that he can say if he approves of what they have done. Obey them in order that they can do the work of guarding you joyfully, and not have to do it sadly, because if you cause them to do it sadly, that will certainly not help you at all (OR, they will not be able to help you at all).
Varer edra lärare lydige, och följer dem; ty de vaka öfver edra själar, såsom de der räkenskap göra skola; på det de måga det göra med fröjd, och icke med suckan; ty det är eder icke nyttigt.
18 Pray for me. I am certain that I have not done anything that displeases God. I have tried to act honorably [toward you] in every way.
Beder för oss; vår tröst är den att vi ett godt samvet hafve, och vinnlägge oss hafva en god umgängelse när alla;
19 I urge you earnestly to pray that [God] will quickly remove the things that hinder my coming to you.
Men aldramest beder jag eder, att I sådant gören, att jag med det snaresta måtte komma till eder.
20 Jesus [provides for us], [protects us, and guides us as] a great shepherd does for his sheep [MET]. And God, who gives us [inner] peace, brought our Lord Jesus back to life. By doing that, God ratified his eternal covenant with us by the blood [that flowed from Jesus when he died on the] cross. (aiōnios )
Men fridsens Gud, som igenfört hafver ifrå de döda den stora Fåraherdan, genom dess eviga Testamentsens blod, vår Herra Jesum; (aiōnios )
21 So I pray that God will equip you with everything good [that you need in order] that you may do the things that he desires. May he accomplish in our lives whatever he considers pleasing as a result of Jesus Christ [equipping us]. May Jesus Christ be praised forever. (Amen!/May it be so!) (aiōn )
Han göre eder skickeliga uti allt godt verk, till att göra sin vilja, och skaffe uti eder hvad honom täckeligit är, genom Jesum Christum; hvilken vare ära af evighet i evighet. Amen. (aiōn )
22 My fellow believers, I appeal to you that you patiently consider [what] I have written in this short letter, to exhort you.
Jag förmanar eder, käre bröder, tager förmanelsens ord till godo; ty jag hafver eder med få ord tillskrifvit.
23 I want you to know that our fellow believer Timothy has been released {[the authorities] have released our fellow believer Timothy} [from prison]. If he comes here soon, he will accompany me when I go to see you.
Veter, att brodren Timotheus lös är; med hvilkom, om han snart kommer, vill jag se eder.
24 Tell all your [spiritual] leaders and all the [other] fellow believers [in your city] that (I am thinking fondly about them/I am sending them my greetings). The believers [in this area who have come] from Italy [want you to know they] are (thinking about you/sending you their greetings).
Helser alla edra lärare, och all helgon. Eder helsa bröderne uti Valland.
25 [I pray that] you will continue to experience God’s acting kindly toward you all.
Nåd vare med eder allom. Amen.
