Hebrews 6
1 So, we [(inc)] must not keep [discussing] the elementary principles about Christ. Instead, we must proceed [to the teaching that will make us spiritually] mature [MTY]. We must not [be people who always need someone to teach them] the elementary truths [about Christ that are like] [MET] a foundation. [I am referring to the teaching that people who do sinful] things must turn away from their sinful behavior, things that [those who are spiritually] [MET] dead do. [I am referring to the teaching] that people must believe in God.
Lader os derfor forbigaa Begyndelsesordet om Kristus og skride frem til Fuldkommenheden uden atter at lægge Grundvold med Omvendelse fra døde Gerninger og med Tro paa Gud,
2 [I am referring to the teaching about what] various [Jewish and Christian] rituals for purifying people [signify. I am referring to the teaching about how elders enable people to receive spiritual gifts by] laying hands [on them] [MTY]. [I am referring to the teaching that God will] ([cause] those who have died to live again/raise people from the dead). And [I am referring to the teaching that God] will judge [some people and punish them] eternally. (aiōnios g166)
med Lære om Døbelser og. Haandspaalæggelse og dødes Opstandelse, og evig Dom. (aiōnios g166)
3 [Instead of continuing to discuss these elementary truths], we [(inc)] (OR, I) will [go on to give people mature teaching], if God allows it.
Ja, dette ville vi gøre, saafremt Gud tilsteder det.
4 [I will explain why it is important to do that. Some] people have at one time fully understood [the message about Christ] [MET]. They have experienced [a relationship with Jesus Christ] that God [EUP/MTY] gave [to them]. They have received the Holy Spirit the same as [others have].
Thi dem, som een Gang ere blevne oplyste og have smagt den himmelske Gave og ere blevne delagtige i den Helligaand
5 They have experienced that God’s message is good. And by what they have experienced [now], they know how [God will work] powerfully in the future. If those people reject [the message about Christ], it will not be possible for anyone to persuade them to turn away from their sinful behavior again! (aiōn g165)
og have smagt Guds gode Ord og den kommende Verdens Kræfter, og som ere faldne fra, — dem er det umuligt atter at forny til Omvendelse, (aiōn g165)
6 What those [believers who later renounce the message about Christ do is as though] [MET] they themselves are nailing the Son of God to a cross again! They are causing others to publicly despise Christ.
da de igen korsfæste sig Guds Søn og stille ham til Spot.
7 Think about this: It is land on which rain has frequently fallen [PRS] and on which plants grow [PRS] that is useful for the people who prepare the land that God has blessed. [Similarly, it is those believers who have received many good things from God and who do good deeds/things that please God, whom God will bless] [MET].
Thi Jorden, som drikker den ofte derpaa faldende Regn og frembringer Vækster, tjenlige for dem, for hvis Skyld den ogsaa dyrkes, faar Velsignelse fra Gud;
8 But [what will happen to believers who do deeds/things that do not please God will be like what happens to land] on which [only] thorns and thistles grow [MET]. [Such land] is worthless. It has almost become land that God will curse, and eventually he will burn [its vegetation] [MTY].
men naar den bærer Torne og Tidsler, er den ubrugbar og Forbandelse nær; Enden med den er at brændes.
9 Although I am writing [to you] like this as a [warning], I am certain concerning you whom I love that [you are doing] better than that. Specifically, I am sure that [you are doing] the things that are appropriate [for those whom God] has saved.
Dog, i Henseende til eder, I elskede! ere vi overbeviste om det bedre og det, som bringer Frelse, selv om vi tale saaledes.
10 Since God always acts justly [LIT], he will not overlook all you have done [for him. He will also not overlook] [MTY] [your showing that you love] him by the way you helped your fellow believers and [by the way you still] help them. [Instead, God will reward you for doing good deeds].
Thi Gud er ikke uretfærdig, saa at han skulde glemme eders Gerning og den Kærlighed, som I have Udvist imod hans Navn, idet I have tjent og tjene de hellige.
11 I very much want each of you to diligently continue to fully expect to receive [what God has provided for you], until you finally [receive everything that you have confidently expected to receive].
Men vi ønske, at enhver af eder maa udvise den samme Iver efter den fulde Vished i Haabet indtil Enden,
12 I do not want you to be lazy. [Instead, I want] you to imitate those who, because they patiently continued to trust in [God], are receiving what he promised them.
for at I ikke skulle blive sløve, men efterfølge dem, som ved Tro og Taalmodighed arve Forjættelserne.
13 When God promised to [do things for] Abraham, he said that he would punish himself [if he did not do that], because there was no one of greater importance to ask to punish him [if he did not do it].
Thi da Gud gav Abraham Forjættelsen, svor han ved sig selv, fordi han ingen større havde at sværge ved, og sagde:
14 He said [to Abraham], “I will certainly bless you [(sg)], and I will certainly increase [the number of] your [descendants] [SYN].”
„Sandelig, jeg vil rigeligt velsigne dig og rigeligt mangfoldiggøre dig.”
15 As a result, after Abraham patiently waited [for God to do what he promised], he received what [God] promised him.
Og saaledes opnaaede han Forjættelsen ved at vente taalmodigt.
16 [Keep in mind that when people promise something], they ask a more important person to punish them if they do not do what they promise. Furthermore, when people ask God to punish them [if they do not tell the truth], that causes people who are disputing to stop disputing.
Mennesker sværge jo ved en større, og Eden er dem en Ende paa al Modsigelse til Stadfæstelse.
17 So, when God wanted to demonstrate very clearly (to us/to those people) who would receive what he had promised that he would not change what he had purposed [to do], he solemnly guaranteed that he would declare himself guilty if he did not do what he promised.
Derfor, da Gud ydermere vilde vise Forjættelsens Arvinger sit Raads Uforanderlighed, føjede han en Ed dertil,
18 He did that to strongly encourage us as a result of our [knowing] that [God has done] two things that cannot change. [Namely, he promised to bless us, and he solemnly declared that he would declare himself guilty if he did not bless us]. We [know] that God, who did those things, cannot lie. We have fled [to him] in order that we might continue confidently to expect to receive what he promised us.
for at vi ved to uforanderlige Ting, i hvilke det var umuligt, at Gud kunde lyve, skulde have en kraftig Opmuntring, vi, som ere flyede hen for at holde fast ved det Haab, som ligger foran os,
19 [Our confidently expecting] [SYN] [to receive what he has promised is like] an anchor [MET] that very firmly [DOU] [holds us fast. The one we confidently expect to help us] [SYN] [is Jesus, who] goes into [God’s very presence, just like the Supreme Priests went] behind the curtain into the innermost [part of the tent in the barren area] [MET].
hvilket vi have som et Sjælens Anker, der er sikkert og fast og gaar ind inden for Forhænget,
