Hebrews 2

Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.

Derfor bør vi des mere agte på det, vi have hørt, for at vi ikke skulle rives bort.

For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward;

Thi når det Ord, som taltes ved Engle, blev urokket, og hver Overtrædelse og Ulydighed f1k velforskyldt Løn,

How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that 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,

God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to 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.

For unto the angels hath he not put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak.

Thi det var ikke Engle, han underlagde den kommende Verden; om hvilken vi tale.

But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man, that thou visitest 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?

Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands:

Du gjorde ham en kort Tid ringere end Engle; med Herlighed og Ære kronede du ham;

Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under 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;

But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.

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.

For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.

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.

For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,

Thi både den, som helliger, og de, som helliges, ere alle af een; hvorfor han ikke skammer sig ved at kalde dem Brødre,

Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee.

når han siger: "Jeg vil forkynde dit Navn for mine Brødre, midt i en Menighed vil jeg lovsynge dig."

And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which God hath given me.

Og fremdeles: "Jeg vil forlade mig på ham." Og fremdeles: "Se, her er jeg og de Børn, som Gud har givet mig."

Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power 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,

And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.

og befri alle dem, som på Grund af Dødsfrygt vare under Trældom al deres Livs Tid.

For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham.

Thi det er jo dog ikke Engle, han tager sig af, men Abrahams Sæd tager han sig af.

Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins 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.

For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.

Thi idet han har lidt, kan han som den, der selv er fristet, komme dem til Hjælp, som fristes.
