Hebræerne 10

¹ Thi da Loven kun har en Skygge af de kommende Goder og ikke Tingenes Skikkelse selv, kan den aldrig ved de samme årlige Ofre, som de bestandig frembære, fuldkomme dem, som træde frem dermed.

¹ For the Law, since it has only a shadow of the good things to come and not the very form of things, can never, by the same sacrifices which they offer continually year by year, make perfect those who draw near.

³ Men ved Ofrene sker År for År Ihukommelse af Synder.

³ But in those sacrifices there is a reminder of sins year by year.

⁵ Derfor siger han, idet han indtræder i Verden: "Slagtoffer og Madoffer havde du ikke Lyst til; men et Legeme beredte du mig;

⁵ Therefore, when He comes into the world, He says,“Sacrifice and offering You have not desired,But a body You have prepared for Me;

⁷ Da sagde jeg: Se, jeg er kommen (i Bogrullen er der skrevet om mig) for at gøre, Gud! din Villie."

⁷ “Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come(In the scroll of the book it is written of Me)To do Your will, O God.’”

⁹ så har han derefter sagt: "Se, jeg er kommen for at gøre din Villie." Han ophæver det første for at fastsætte det andet.

⁹ then He said, “Behold, I have come to do Your will.” He takes away the first in order to establish the second.

¹¹ Og hver Præst står daglig og tjener og ofrer mange Gange de samme Ofre, som dog aldrig kunne borttage Synder.

¹¹ Every priest stands daily ministering and offering time after time the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins;

¹³ idet han for øvrigt venter på, at hans Fjender skulle lægges som en Skammel for hans Fødder.

¹³ waiting from that time onward until His enemies be made a footstool for His feet.

¹⁵ Men også den Helligånd giver os Vidnesbyrd; thi efter at have sagt:

¹⁵ And the Holy Spirit also testifies to us; for after saying,

¹⁷ og deres Synder og deres Overtrædelser vil jeg ikke mere ihukomme."

¹⁷ “And their sins and their lawless deedsI will remember no more.”

¹⁹ Efterdi vi da, Brødre! have Frimodighed til den Indgang i Helligdommen ved Jesu Blod,

¹⁹ Therefore, brethren, since we have confidence to enter the holy place by the blood of Jesus,

²¹ og efterdi vi have en stor Præst over Guds Hus:

²¹ and since we have a great priest over the house of God,

²³ lader os fastholde Håbets Bekendelse urokket; thi trofast er han, som gav Forjættelsen;

²³ Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful;

²⁵ og ikke forlade vor egen Forsamling, som nogle have for Skik, men formane hverandre, og det så meget mere, som I se, at Dagen nærmer sig.

²⁵ not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the day drawing near.

²⁷ men en frygtelig Forventelse at Dom og en brændende Nidkærhed, som skal fortære de genstridige.

²⁷ but a terrifying expectation of judgment and the fury of a fire which will consume the adversaries.

²⁹ hvor meget værre Straf mene I da, at den skal agtes værd, som træder Guds Søn under Fod og agter Pagtens Blod, hvormed han blev helliget, for urent og forhåner Nådens Ånd?

²⁹ How much severer punishment do you think he will deserve who has trampled under foot the Son of God, and has regarded as unclean the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and has insulted the Spirit of grace?

³¹ Det er frygteligt at falde i den levende Guds Hænder.

³¹ It is a terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

³³ idet I dels selv ved Forhånelser og Trængsler bleve et Skuespil, dels gjorde fælles Sag med dem, som fristede sådanne Kår.

³³ partly by being made a public spectacle through reproaches and tribulations, and partly by becoming sharers with those who were so treated.

³⁵ Kaster altså ikke eders Frimodighed bort, hvilken jo har stor Belønning;

³⁵ Therefore, do not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward.

³⁷ Thi "der er endnu kun en såre liden Stund, så kommer han, der skal komme, og han vil ikke tøve.

³⁷ For yet in a very little while,He who is coming will come, and will not delay.

³⁹ Men vi ere ikke af dem, som unddrage sig, til Fortabelse, men af dem, som tro, til Sjælens Frelse, 

³⁹ But we are not of those who shrink back to destruction, but of those who have faith to the preserving of the soul.
