Hebrews 13
1 Continue to love your fellow believers.
Förbliven fasta 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.
Förgäten icke att bevisa gästvänlighet; ty genom gästvänlighet hava några, utan att veta det, fått änglar till gäster.
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.
Tänken på dem som äro fångna, likasom voren I deras medfångar, och tänken på dem som utstå misshandling, eftersom också I själva haven en kropp.
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.
Äktenskapet må hållas i ära bland alla, och äkta säng bevaras obesmittad; ty otuktiga människor och äktenskapsbrytare 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].
Varen i eder handel och vandel fria ifrån penningbegär; låten eder nöja med vad I haven. Ty han har själv sagt: »Jag skall icke lämna dig eller övergiva 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].
Alltså kunna vi dristigt säga: »Herren är min hjälpare, jag skall icke frukta; vad kunna människor 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].
Tänken på edra lärare, som hava talat Guds ord till eder; sen huru de slutade sin levnad, och efterföljen deras tro.
Jesus Kristus är densamme i går och i dag, så ock i evighet. (aiōn g165)
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.
Låten eder icke vilseföras av allahanda främmande läror. Ty det är gott att bliva styrkt i sitt hjärta genom nåd och icke genom offermåltider; de som hava befattat sig med sådant hava icke haft något gagn därav.
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 hava ett altare, från vilket de som göra tjänst vid tabernaklet icke hava rätt att få något att äta.
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.
Det är ju så, att kropparna av de djur, vilkas blod översteprästen bär in i det allraheligaste till försoning för synd, »brännas upp utanför 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].
Därför var det ock utanför stadsporten som Jesus utstod sitt lidande, för att han genom sitt eget blod skulle helga folket.
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.
Låtom oss alltså gå ut till honom »utanför 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 hava här ingen varaktig stad, utan söka efter den tillkommande staden.
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 låtom oss då genom honom alltid till Gud »frambära ett lovets offer», det är »en frukt ifrån läppar» som prisa hans namn.
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.
Men förgäten icke att göra gott och dela med eder, ty sådana offer har Gud behag till.
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).
Varen edra lärare hörsamma, och böjen eder för dem; ty de vaka över edra själar, eftersom de skola avlägga räkenskap. Må de då kunna göra det med glädje, och icke med suckan, ty detta vore 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.
Bedjen för oss; ty vi tro oss hava ett gott samvete, eftersom vi söka att i alla stycken föra en god vandel.
19 I urge you earnestly to pray that [God] will quickly remove the things that hinder my coming to you.
Och jag uppmanar eder att göra detta, så mycket mer som jag hoppas att därigenom dess snarare bliva återgiven åt 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 g166)
Men fridens Gud, som från de döda har återfört vår Herre Jesus, vilken genom ett evigt förbunds blod är den store herden för fåren, (aiōnios g166)
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 g165)
han fullkomne eder i allt vad gott är, så att I gören hans vilja; och han verke i oss vad som är välbehagligt inför honom, genom Jesus Kristus. Honom tillhör äran i evigheternas evigheter. Amen. (aiōn g165)
22 My fellow believers, I appeal to you that you patiently consider [what] I have written in this short letter, to exhort you.
Jag beder eder, mina bröder: tagen icke illa upp dessa förmaningens ord; jag har ju ock skrivit till eder helt kort.
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.
Veten att vår broder Timoteus har blivit lösgiven. Om han snart kommer hit, vill jag tillsammans med honom besöka 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).
Hälsen alla edra lärare och alla de heliga. De italiska bröderna hälsa eder.
25 [I pray that] you will continue to experience God’s acting kindly toward you all.
Nåd vare med eder alla.
