Hebrews 13
1 Let your love for the Brethren continue.
Broderkærligheden blive ved!
2 Do not neglect to show hospitality; for, through being hospitable, men have all unawares entertained angels.
Glemmer ikke Gæstfriheden; thi ved den have nogle, uden at vide det, haft Engle til Gæster.
3 Remember the prisoners, as if you were their fellow-prisoners, and the oppressed, not forgetting that you also are still in the body.
Kommer de fangne i Hu, som vare I selv medfangne; dem, der lide ilde, som de, der også selv ere i et Legeme.
4 Let marriage be honoured by all and the married life be pure; for God will judge those who are immoral and those who commit adultery.
Ægteskabet være æret hos alle, og Ægtesengen ubesmittet; thi utugtige og Horkarle skal Gud dømme.
5 Do not let your conduct be ruled by the love of money. Be content with what you have, for God himself has said — ‘I will never forsake you, nor will I ever abandon 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 Therefore we may say with confidence — ‘The Lord is my helper, I will not be afraid. What can man 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 Do not forget your Leaders, the men who told you God’s Message. Recall the close of their lives, and imitate their faith.
Kommer eders Vejledere i Hu, som have forkyndt eder Guds Ord, og idet I betragte deres Vandrings Udgang, så efterligner deres Tro!
Jesus Kristus er i Går og i Dag den samme, ja, til evig Tid. (aiōn g165)
9 Do not let yourselves be carried away by the various novel forms of teaching. It is better to rely for spiritual strength upon the divine help, than upon regulations regarding food; for those whose lives are guided by such regulations have not found them of service.
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 are not without an altar; but it is one at which those who still worship in the Tabernacle have no right to eat.
Vi have et Alter, hvorfra de, som tjene ved Tabernaklet, ikke have Ret til at spise.
11 The bodies of those animals whose blood is brought by the High Priest into the Sanctuary, as an offering for sin, are burnt outside the camp.
Thi de Dyr, hvis Blod for Syndens Skyld bæres ind i Helligdommen af Ypperstepræsten, deres Kroppe opbrændes uden for Lejren.
12 And so Jesus, also, to purify the People by his own blood, suffered outside the gate.
Derfor led også Jesus uden for Porten, for at han kunde hellige Folket ved sit eget Blod.
13 Therefore let us go out to him ‘outside the camp,’ bearing the same reproaches as he;
Så lader os da gå ud til ham uden for Lejren, idet vi bære hans Forsmædelse;
14 for here we have no permanent city, but are looking for the City that is to be.
thi her have vi ikke en blivende Stad, men vi søge den kommende.
15 Through him let us offer, as our sacrifice, continual praise to God — an offering from lips that glorify his Name.
Lader os da ved ham altid frembære Gud Lovprisnings Offer, det er: en Frugt af Læber, som bekende hans Navn.
16 Never forget to do kindly acts and to share what you have with others, for such sacrifices are acceptable to God.
Men glemmer ikke at gøre vel og at meddele; thi i sådanne Ofre har Gud Velbehag.
17 Obey your Leaders, and submit to their control, for they are watching over your souls, as men who will have to render an account, so that they may do it with joy, and not in sorrow. That would not be to your advantage.
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 Pray for us, for we are sure that our consciences are clear, since our wish is to be occupied with what is good.
Beder for os; thi vi ere forvissede om, at vi have en god Samvittighed, idet vi ønske at vandre rettelig i alle Ting.
19 And I the more earnestly ask for your prayers, that I may be restored to you the sooner.
Og jeg formaner eder des mere til at gøre dette, for at jeg desto snarere kan gives eder igen.
20 May God, the source of all peace, who brought back from the dead him who, ‘by virtue of the blood that rendered valid the unchangeable Covenant, is the Great Shepherd of God’s Sheep,’ Jesus, our Lord — (aiōnios g166)
Men Fredens Gud, som førte den store Fårenes Hyrde, vor Herre Jesus, op fra de døde med en evig Pagts Blod, (aiōnios g166)
21 may God make you perfect in everything that is good, so that you may be able to do his will. May he bring out in us all that is pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be all glory for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
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 g165)
22 I beg you, Brothers, to bear with these words of advice. For I have written only very briefly to you.
Jeg beder eder, Brødre! at I finde eder i dette Formaningsord; thi jeg har jo skrevet til eder i Korthed.
23 You will be glad to hear that our Brother, Timothy, has been set free. If he comes here soon, we will visit you together.
Vid, at vor Broder Timotheus er løsladt; sammen med ham vil jeg se eder, dersom han snart kommer.
24 Give our greeting to all your Leaders, and to all Christ’s People. Our friends from Italy send their greetings to you.
Hilser alle eders Vejledere og alle de hellige! De fra Italien hilse eder.
25 May God bless you all.
Nåden være med eder alle!
