Hebrews 8

1 A crowning point on the things being spoken: —such a one as this, have we, as high-priest, who hath sat down on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens, —

Men Hovedpunktet ved det, hvorom her tales, er dette: vi have en sådan Ypperstepræst, der har taget Sæde på højre Side af Majestætens Trone i Himlene

2 Of the Holy place, a public minister, and of the Real Tent, which, the Lord, pitched and not man.

som Tjener ved Helligdommen og det sande Tabernakel, hvilket Herren har oprejst, og ikke et Menneske.

3 For, every high-priest, for the offering of both gifts and sacrifices, is constituted; whence it was necessary for, this one also, to have something which he might offer.

Thi hver Ypperstepræst indsættes til at frembære Gaver og Slagtofre; derfor er det nødvendigt, at også denne må have noget at frembære.

4 If, indeed, therefore, he had been on earth, he had not, in that case, even been a priest, since there are those who are offering the gifts, according to the law: —

Dersom han nu var på Jorden, da var han ikke engang Præst, efterdi der her er dem, som frembære Gaverne efter Loven;

5 Who, indeed, are rendering divine service, with a glimpse and shadow, of the heavenly things; even as Moses hath received intimation, when about to complete the tent, —For see! saith he—Thou shalt make all things according to the model which hath been pointed out to thee in the mount.

hvilke jo tjene ved en Afbildning og Skygge af det himmelske, således som det blev Moses betydet af Gud, da han skulde indrette Tabernaklet: "Se til, sagde han, at du gør alting efter det Forbillede, der blev vist dig på Bjerget."

6 But, now, hath he attained unto, a more distinguished public ministry, —by as much as of a better covenant also he is, mediator, which indeed, upon better promises, hath been legislated.

Men nu har han fået en så meget ypperligere Tjeneste, som han også er Mellemmand for en bedre Pagt, der jo er grundet på bedre Forjættelser.

7 For, if, that first, had been, faultless, not, in that case, for a second, had there been sought, a place.

Thi dersom hin første var udadlelig, da vilde der ikke blive søgt Sted for en anden.

8 For, finding fault with them, he saith—Lo! days are coming, saith the Lord, when I will conclude, for the house of Israel and the house of Judah, a covenant of a new sort:

Thi dadlende siger han til dem: "Se, der kommer Dage, siger Herren, da jeg vil slutte en ny Pagt med Israels Hus og med Judas Hus;

9 Not according to the covenant which I made with their fathers, in the day when I took them by their hand, to lead them forth out of the land of Egypt, —because, they, abode not in my covenant, and, I, disregarded them, saith the Lord.

ikke som den Pagt, jeg gjorde med deres Fædre på den Dag, da jeg tog dem ved Hånden for at føre dem ud af Ægyptens Land; thi de bleve ikke i min Pagt, og jeg brød mig ikke om dem, siger Herren.

10 Because, this, is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel, after those days, saith the Lord: —giving my laws into their understanding, upon their hearts also, will I inscribe them: and I will become their God, and, they, shall become my people;

Thi dette er den Pagt, som jeg vil oprette med Israels Hus efter de Dage, siger Herren: Jeg vil give mine Love i deres Sind, og jeg vil indskrive dem i deres Hjerte, og jeg vil være deres Gud, og de skulle være mit Folk.

11 And in nowise shall they teach—every one his fellow-citizen, and every one his brother, saying, —Get to know the Lord! Because, all, shall know me, from the least unto the greatest of them;

Og de skulle ikke lære hver sin Medborger og hver sin Broder og sige: Kend Herren; thi de skulle alle kende mig, fra den mindste indtil den største iblandt dem.

12 Because, propitious, will I be as to their unrighteousnesses, and, of their sins, in nowise will I be mindful, any more.

Thi jeg vil være nådig imod deres Uretfærdigheder og ikke mere ihukomme deres Synder."

13 In saying, Of a new sort, he hath made obsolete, the first; but, the thing that is becoming obsolete and aged, is near, disappearing!

Når han siger: "en ny", har han erklæret den første for gammel; men det, som bliver gammelt og ældes, er nu ved at forsvinde.
