Hebreerne 9
1 No hadde vel og den fyrste pakti sine fyreskrifter um gudstenesta og den jordiske heilagdomen.
It is true that even the first covenant had its regulations for divine worship, and its sanctuary – though only a material one.
2 For det vart laga eit tjeld, det fremste, og i det var både ljosestaken og bordet og skodebrødi; dette er kalla det heilage.
For a tent was constructed, with an outer part which contained the stand for the lamps, and the table, and the consecrated bread. This is called the sanctuary.
3 Og attanfor det andre forhenget var det tjeldet som er kalla det høgheilage,
The part of the tent behind the second curtain is called the inner sanctuary.
4 det som hadde eit røykjelse-altar av gull og sambandskista, som var klædd heilt kringum med gull; og i henne var ei gullkrukka med manna og Arons stav, som hadde blømt, og sambandstavlorne,
In it is the gold incense-altar, and the ark containing the covenant, completely covered with gold. In the ark is a gold casket containing the manna, Aaron’s rod that budded, and the tablets on which the covenant was written;
5 og ovan yver henne herlegdoms kerubar, som skygde yver nådestolen; men um desse ting skal me ikkje no tala stykke for stykke.
while above it, and overshadowing the cover on which atonement was made, are the cherubim of the presence. Now is not the time to discuss these things in detail.
6 Men då no dette er laga soleis, so gjeng prestarne alltid inn i det fremste tjeldet når dei gjer si tenesta.
Such, then, was the arrangement of the tent. Into the outer part priests are constantly going, in the discharge of their sacred duties;
7 Men i det andre gjeng berre øvstepresten inn ein gong um året, ikkje utan blod, som han ber fram for seg sjølv og for misferderne åt folket.
but into the inner only the high priest goes, and that but once a year, and never without taking the blood of a victim, which he offers on his own behalf, and on behalf of the errors of the people.
8 Dermed syner den Heilage Ande dette, at vegen til heilagdomen endå ikkje er openberra, so lenge det fremste tjeldet stend.
By this the Holy Spirit is teaching that the way into the sanctuary was hidden, as long as the outer part of the tent still remained.
9 For dette er eit bilæte på den noverande tid, og i samhøve dermed vert både gåvor og slagtoffer framborne, som ikkje kann gjera den fullkomen etter samvitet, som tenar Gud,
For that was only a type, to continue down to the present time; and, in keeping with it, both gifts and sacrifices are offered, though incapable of satisfying the conscience of the worshiper;
10 men som berre er kjøtlege fyreskrifter, saman med mat og drykk og alle slag tvættingar, pålagde til dess tidi til rettarboti kom.
the whole system being concerned only with food and drink and various ablutions – external ceremonials imposed until the coming of the new order.
11 Men då Kristus kom som øvsteprest for det tilkomande gode, gjekk han gjenom det større og fullkomnare tjeldet, som ikkje er gjort med hender, det er: som ikkje er av denne skapning,
But, when Christ came, he appeared as high priest of that better system which was established; and he entered through that nobler and more perfect tent, not made by human hands – that is to say, not a part of this present creation.
12 og ikkje med blod av bukkar eller kalvar, men med sitt eige blod, ein gong inn i heilagdomen og fann ei æveleg utløysing. (aiōnios g166)
Nor was it with the blood of goats and calves, but with his own blood, that he entered, once and for all, into the sanctuary, and obtained our eternal deliverance. (aiōnios g166)
13 For dersom blodet av bukkar og uksar og oska av ei kviga, når det vert skvett ut yver dei ureine, helgar til reinleik på kjøtet,
For, if the blood of goats and bulls, and the sprinkling of the ashes of a heifer, purify those who have been defiled (as far as ceremonial purification goes),
14 kor mykje meir skal då blodet av Kristus, som ved ei æveleg ånd bar seg sjølv fram som eit ulastelegt offer for Gud, reinsa dykkar samvit frå daude gjerningar til å tena den livande Gud! (aiōnios g166)
how much more will the blood of the Christ, who, through his eternal Spirit, offered himself up to God, as a victim without blemish, purify our consciences from a lifeless formality, and fit us for the service of the living God! (aiōnios g166)
15 Og difor er han millommann for ei ny pakt, for at dei som er kalla, skal få den ævelege arven som var lova, dermed at ein døydde til utløysing frå misgjerningarne i den fyrste pakt. (aiōnios g166)
And that is why he is the intermediary of a new covenant; in order that, as a death has taken place to effect a deliverance from the offenses committed under the first covenant, those who have received the call may obtain the eternal inheritance promised to them. (aiōnios g166)
16 For der det finst eit testament, der er det naudsynlegt, at dauden hans som hev gjort testamentet, vert stadfest.
Whenever such a covenant as a will is in question, the death of the testator must of necessity be alleged.
17 For eit testament vert fyrst gjeldande etter dauden, og det hev aldri kraft so lenge han liver som gjorde testamentet.
For such a covenant takes effect only on death, it does not come into force as long as the testator is alive.
18 Difor vart heller ikkje den fyrste pakt innvigd utan blod.
This explains why even the first covenant was not ratified without the shedding of blood.
19 For då kvart bod etter lovi var forkynt av Moses for alt folket, so tok han blod av kalvar og bukkar, saman med vatn, og skarlakraud ull og isop, og skvette både på boki sjølv og på alt folket
For, when every command had been announced to all the people by Moses in accordance with the Law, he took the blood of the calves and of the goats, with water, scarlet wool, and a bunch of hyssop, and sprinkled even the book of the Law, as well as all the people,
20 og sagde: «Dette er blodet til den pakt som Gud hev gjeve bod um til dykk.»
saying, as he did so – “This is the blood that renders valid the covenant which God has commanded to be made with you.”
21 Men ogso tjeldet og all reidskapen som høyrde til gudstenesta, skvette han like eins blodet på.
And in the same way he also sprinkled with the blood the tent and all the things that were used in public worship.
22 Og næstan alt vert etter lovi reinsa med blod, og utan at blods utrenning vert det ingi forlating.
Indeed, under the Law, almost everything is purified with blood; and, unless blood is shed, no forgiveness is to be obtained.
23 So er det då naudsynlegt at avbilæti av dei himmelske ting vert reinsa med slikt, men dei himmelske ting sjølve med betre offer enn desse.
While, then, it was necessary for the copies of the heavenly realities to be purified by such means as these, the heavenly realities themselves required better sacrifices.
24 For Kristus gjekk ikkje inn i ein heilagdom som var gjord med hender, eit avbilæte av den sanne, men inn i sjølve himmelen til å syna seg no for Guds åsyn for vår skuld,
For it was not into a sanctuary made by human hands, which merely foreshadowed the true one, that Christ entered, but into heaven itself, so that he might now appear in the presence of God on our behalf.
25 og ikkje heller so, at han fleire gonger skulde ofra seg sjølv, liksom øvstepresten kvart år gjeng inn i heilagdomen med framandt blod,
Nor yet was it to offer himself may times, as year after year the high priest entered the sanctuary with an offering of blood – but not his own blood;
26 for då hadde han ofte lote lida frå verdi vart grunnlagd; men no er han ein gong ved enden av tiderne openberra til å taka burt syndi ved sitt offer. (aiōn g165)
for then Christ would have had to undergo death many times since the creation of the world. But now, once and for all, at the close of the age, he has appeared, in order to abolish sin by the sacrifice of himself. (aiōn g165)
27 Og liksom det er so laga at menneski lyt døy EIN gong, og sidan kjem dom,
And, as it is ordained for people to die but once (death being followed by judgment),
28 soleis er og Kristus ofra EIN gong for å taka burt synderne frå dei mange; og andre gongen skal han, utan synd, syna seg til frelsa for deim som ventar på honom.
so it is with the Christ. He was offered up once and for all, to bear away the sins of many; and the second time he will appear – but without any burden of sin – to those who are waiting for him, to bring salvation.
