Hebrews 2
1 For this reason, it is necessary for us to observe more thoroughly the things that we have heard, lest we let them slip away.
Derfor bør vi des mere agte på det, vi have hørt, for at vi ikke skulle rives bort.
2 For if a word that was spoken through the Angels has been made firm, and every transgression and disobedience has received the recompense of a just retribution,
Thi når det Ord, som taltes ved Engle, blev urokket, og hver Overtrædelse og Ulydighed f1k velforskyldt Løn,
3 in what way might we escape, if we neglect such a great salvation? For though initially it had begun to be described by the Lord, it was confirmed among us by those who heard him,
hvorledes skulle da vi undfly, når vi ikke bryde os om så stor en Frelse, som jo efter først at være bleven forkyndt ved Herren, er bleven stadfæstet for os af dem, som havde hørt ham,
4 with God testifying to it by signs and wonders, and by various miracles, and by the pouring out of the Holy Spirit, in accord with his own will.
idet Gud vidnede med både ved Tegn og Undere og mange Hånde kraftige Gerninger og ved Meddelelse af den Helligånd efter sin Villie.
5 For God did not subject the future world, about which we are speaking, to the Angels.
Thi det var ikke Engle, han underlagde den kommende Verden; om hvilken vi tale.
6 But someone, in a certain place, has testified, saying: “What is man, that you are mindful of him, or the Son of man, that you visit him?
Men en har vidnet et Sted og sagt: "Hvad er et Menneske, at du kommer ham i Hu? eller en Menneskesøn, at du ser til ham?
7 You have reduced him to a little less than the Angels. You have crowned him with glory and honor, and you have set him over the works of your hands.
Du gjorde ham en kort Tid ringere end Engle; med Herlighed og Ære kronede du ham;
8 You have subjected all things under his feet.” For in as much as he has subjected all things to him, he has left nothing not subject to him. But in the present time, we do not yet perceive that all things have been made subject to him.
alle Ting lagde du under hans Fødder". - Idet han nemlig underlagde ham alle Ting, undtog han intet fra at være ham underlagt. Nu se vi imidlertid endnu ikke alle Ting underlagte ham;
9 Yet we understand that Jesus, who was reduced to a little less than the Angels, was crowned with glory and honor because of his Passion and death, in order that, by the grace of God, he might taste death for all.
men ham, som en kort Tid var bleven gjort ringere end Engle, Jesus, se vi på Grund af Dødens Lidelse kronet med Herlighed og Ære, for at han ved Guds Nåde må have smagt Døden for alle.
10 For it was fitting for him, because of whom and through whom all things exist, who had led many children into glory, to complete the authorship of their salvation through his Passion.
Thi det sømmede sig ham, for hvis Skyld alle Ting ere, og ved hvem alle Ting ere, når han førte mange Sønner til Herlighed, da at fuldkomme deres Frelses Ophavsmand igennem Lidelser.
11 For he who sanctifies, and those who are sanctified, are all from One. For this reason, he is not ashamed to call them brothers, saying:
Thi både den, som helliger, og de, som helliges, ere alle af een; hvorfor han ikke skammer sig ved at kalde dem Brødre,
12 “I will announce your name to my brothers. In the midst of the Church, I will praise you.”
når han siger: "Jeg vil forkynde dit Navn for mine Brødre, midt i en Menighed vil jeg lovsynge dig."
13 And again: “I will be faithful in him.” And again: “Behold, I and my children, whom God has given to me.”
Og fremdeles: "Jeg vil forlade mig på ham." Og fremdeles: "Se, her er jeg og de Børn, som Gud har givet mig."
14 Therefore, because children have a common flesh and blood, he himself also, in like manner, has shared in the same, so that through death, he might destroy him who held the dominion of death, that is, the devil,
Efterdi da Børnene ere delagtige i Blod og Kød, blev også han i lige Måde delagtig deri, for at han ved Døden skulde gøre den magtesløs, som har Dødens Vælde, det er Djævelen,
15 and so that he might free those who, through the fear of death, had been condemned to servitude throughout their entire life.
og befri alle dem, som på Grund af Dødsfrygt vare under Trældom al deres Livs Tid.
16 For at no time did he take hold of the Angels, but instead he took hold of the offspring of Abraham.
Thi det er jo dog ikke Engle, han tager sig af, men Abrahams Sæd tager han sig af.
17 Therefore, it is fitting for him to be made similar to his brothers in all things, so that he might become a merciful and faithful High Priest before God, in order that he might bring forgiveness to the offenses of the people.
Derfor måtte han blive sine Brødre lig i alle. Ting, for at han kunde blive en barmhjertig og trofast Ypperstepræst over for Gud til at sone Folkets Synder.
18 For in as much as he himself has suffered and has been tempted, he also is able to assist those who are tempted.
Thi idet han har lidt, kan han som den, der selv er fristet, komme dem til Hjælp, som fristes.
