Hebrews 9

Then verily the first covenant had also ordinances of divine service, and a worldly sanctuary.

Vel havde også den første Pagt Forskrifter for Gudstjenesten og en jordisk Helligdom.

For there was a tabernacle made; the first, wherein was the candlestick, and the table, and the shewbread; which is called the sanctuary.

Thi der var indrettet et Telt, det forreste, hvori Lysestagen var og Bordet og Skuebrødene, det, som jo kaldes det Hellige.

And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of all;

Men bag det andet Forhæng var et Telt, det, som kaldes det Allerhelligste,

Which had the golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid round about with gold, wherein was the golden pot that had manna, and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant;

som havde et gyldent Røgelsealter og Pagtens Ark, overalt beklædt med Guld, i hvilken der var en Guldkrukke med Mannaen, og Arons Stav, som havde blomstret, og Pagtens Tavler,

And over it the cherubims of glory shadowing the mercyseat; of which we cannot now speak particularly.

men oven over den var Herlighedens Keruber, som overskyggede Nådestolen, hvorom der nu ikke skal tales enkeltvis.

Now when these things were thus ordained, the priests went always into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the service of God.

Idet nu dette er således indrettet, gå Præsterne til Stadighed ind i det forreste Telt, når de forrette Tjenesten;

But into the second went the high priest alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the errors of the people:

men i det andet går alene Ypperstepræsten ind een Gang om Året, ikke uden Blod,hvilket han ofrer for sig selv og Folkets Forseelser,

The Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing:

hvorved den Helligånd giver til Kende, at Vejen til Helligdommen endnu ikke er bleven åbenbar, så længe det førreste Telt endnu står,

Which was a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience;

hvilket jo er et Sindbillede indtil den nærværende Tid, og stemmende hermed frembæres der både Gaver og Ofre, som ikke i Henseende til Samvittigheden kunne fuldkomme den, der forretter sin Gudsdyrkelse,

Which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation.

men som kun, ved Siden af Mad og Drikke og forskellige Tvættelser, ere kødelige Forskrifter, pålagte indtil den rette Ordnings Tid.

But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building;

Men da Kristus kom som Ypperstepræst for de kommende Goder, gik han igennem det større og fuldkomnere Telt, som ikke er gjort med Hænder, det er: som ikke er af denne Skabning,

Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.

og gik ikke heller med Blod af Bukke eller Kalve, men med sit eget Blod een Gang for alle ind i Helligdommen og vandt en evig Forløsning.

For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh:

Thi dersom Blodet af Bukke og Tyre og Aske af en Kvie ved at stænkes på de besmittede helliger til Kødets Renhed:

How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

hvor meget mere skal da Kristi Blod, hans, som ved en evig Ånd frembar sig selv lydeløs for Gud, rense eders Samvittighed fra døde Gerninger til at tjene den levende Gud?

And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.

Og derfor er han Mellemmand for en ny Pagt, for at de kaldede, da der har fundet Død Sted til Genløsning fra Overtrædelserne under den første Pagt, må få den evige Arvs Forjættelse.

For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator.

Thi hvor der er en Arvepagt, der er det nødvendigt, at hans Død, som har oprettet Pagten, skal godtgøres.

For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth.

Thi en Arvepagt er urokkelig efter døde, da den ingen Sinde træder i Kraft, medens den, som har oprettet den, lever.

Whereupon neither the first testament was dedicated without blood.

Derfor er heller ikke den første bleven indviet uden Blod

For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book, and all the people,

Thi da hvert Bud efter Loven var forkyndt af Moses for hele Folket, tog han Kalve- og Bukkeblod med Vand og skarlagenrød Uld og Isop og bestænkede både Bogen selv og hele Folket, idet han sagde:

Saying, This is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto you.

"Dette er den Pagts Blod, hvilken Gud har pålagt eder."

Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry.

Og Tabernaklet og alle Tjenestens Redskaber bestænkede han ligeledes med Blodet.

And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.

Og næsten alt bliver efter Loven renset med Blod, og uden Blods Udgydelse sker der ikke Forladelse.

It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.

Altså var det en Nødvendighed, at Afbildningerne af de himmelske Ting skulde renses herved, men selve de himmelske Ting ved bedre Ofre end disse.

For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:

Thi Kristus gik ikke ind i en Helligdom, som var gjort med Hænder og kun var et Billede af den sande, men ind i selve Himmelen for nu at træde frem for Guds Ansigt til Bedste for os;

Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others;

ikke heller for at han skulde ofre sig selv mange Gange, ligesom Ypperstepræsten hvert År går ind i Helligdommen med fremmed Blod;

For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.

ellers havde han måttet lide mange Gange fra Verdens Grundlæggelse; men nu er han een Gang for alle ved Tidernes Fuldendelse åbenbaret for at bortskaffe Synden ved sit Offer.

And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:

Og ligesom det er Menneskene beskikket at dø een Gang og derefter Dom,

So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.

således skal også Kristus, efter at være bleven een Gang ofret for at bære manges Synder, anden Gang, uden Synd, vise sig for dem, som foruente ham til Frelse.
