Hebreerbrevet 6
1 Derföre vilje vi låta bestå den lärdom, som lyder på begynnelsen till ett Christeligit lefverne, och taga det före som till fullkomligheten drager; icke på nytt läggande grunden till bättring af döda gerningar, till trona på Gud;
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.
2 Till döpelsen, till lärdom, till händers påläggning, till de dödas uppståndelse, och till den eviga domen. (aiōnios g166)
[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)
3 Och det vilje vi göra, om Gud annars det tillstäder.
[Instead of continuing to discuss these elementary truths], we [(inc)] (OR, I) will [go on to give people mature teaching], if God allows it.
4 Ty det är omöjeligit att de, som en gång upplyste äro, och smakat hafva den himmelska gåfvan, och delaktige vordne äro af den Helga Anda;
[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].
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)
6 Om de affalla, och på nytt sig sjelfvom korsfästa Guds Son, och för spott hålla; att de skola igen förnyas till bättring.
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.
7 Ty jorden, som indricker regnet, som ofta kommer på henne, och bär dem beqväma örter som henne bruka, hon får välsignelse af Gudi;
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].
8 Men den törn och tistel bär, hon är odugelig, och närmast förbannelsen; hvilkens ändalykt är, att hon skall brännas.
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].
9 Men vi förse oss, I älskelige, till eder det bättre är, och det salighetene närmer är; ändock vi så talom.
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.
10 Ty Gud är icke orättvis, att han förgäter edra gerning och arbete i kärlekenom, som I bevisat hafven på hans Namn, då I tjenten helgonen, och ännu tjenen.
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].
11 Men vi begäre, att hvar och en af eder den samma flit bevisar, till att hålla hoppet fast allt intill ändan;
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].
12 Att I icke tröge blifven, utan deras efterföljare, som genom trona och långmodighet få det arf, som utlofvadt är.
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.
13 Ty när Gud lofvade Abrahe, då han ingen större hade der han vid svärja kunde, svor han vid sig sjelf,
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].
14 Och sade: Sannerliga, jag vill välsigna dig, och föröka dig.
He said [to Abraham], “I will certainly bless you [(sg)], and I will certainly increase [the number of] your [descendants] [SYN].”
15 Och så, efter han i tålamod förbidde, fick han det som utlofvadt var.
As a result, after Abraham patiently waited [for God to do what he promised], he received what [God] promised him.
16 Ty menniskorna svärja vid den der större är än de, och dem emellan blifver en ände på alla trätor, om det stadfäst blifver med en ed.
[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.
17 Men då Gud ville rikeliga bevisa arfvingomen till löftet sins uppsåts fasthet, lade han der en ed uppå;
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.
18 Att vi genom tu ovikelig ting, i hvilkom omöjeligit är att Gud ljuga skulle, ena starka tröst hafva skullom, vi som dertill flytt hafve, att vi måtte få det hopp som tillbudet är;
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.
19 Hvilket vi hålle, såsom ett säkert och fast vår själs ankare; det ock ingår intill det som innanför förlåten är;
[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].
