Hebræerne 9

¹ Vel havde også den første Pagt Forskrifter for Gudstjenesten og en jordisk Helligdom.

¹ Now even the first covenant had regulations of divine worship and the earthly sanctuary.

³ Men bag det andet Forhæng var et Telt, det, som kaldes det Allerhelligste,

³ Behind the second veil there was a tabernacle which is called the Holy of Holies,

⁵ men oven over den var Herlighedens Keruber, som overskyggede Nådestolen, hvorom der nu ikke skal tales enkeltvis.

⁵ and above it were the cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy seat; but of these things we cannot now speak in detail.

⁷ men i det andet går alene Ypperstepræsten ind een Gang om Året, ikke uden Blod,hvilket han ofrer for sig selv og Folkets Forseelser,

⁷ but into the second, only the high priest enters once a year, not without taking blood, which he offers for himself and for the sins of the people committed in ignorance.

⁹ 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,

⁹ which is a symbol for the present time. Accordingly both gifts and sacrifices are offered which cannot make the worshiper perfect in conscience,

¹¹ 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,

¹¹ But when Christ appeared as a high priest of the good things to come, He entered through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation;

¹³ Thi dersom Blodet af Bukke og Tyre og Aske af en Kvie ved at stænkes på de besmittede helliger til Kødets Renhed:

¹³ For if the blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling those who have been defiled sanctify for the cleansing of the flesh,

¹⁵ 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.

¹⁵ For this reason He is the mediator of a new covenant, so that, since a death has taken place for the redemption of the transgressions that were committed under the first covenant, those who have been called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.

¹⁷ Thi en Arvepagt er urokkelig efter døde, da den ingen Sinde træder i Kraft, medens den, som har oprettet den, lever.

¹⁷ For a covenant is valid only when men are dead, for it is never in force while the one who made it lives.

¹⁹ 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:

¹⁹ For when every commandment had been spoken by Moses to all the people according to the Law, he took the blood of the calves and the goats, with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people,

²¹ Og Tabernaklet og alle Tjenestens Redskaber bestænkede han ligeledes med Blodet.

²¹ And in the same way he sprinkled both the tabernacle and all the vessels of the ministry with the blood.

²³ Altså var det en Nødvendighed, at Afbildningerne af de himmelske Ting skulde renses herved, men selve de himmelske Ting ved bedre Ofre end disse.

²³ Therefore it was necessary for the copies of the things in the heavens to be cleansed with these, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.

²⁵ ikke heller for at han skulde ofre sig selv mange Gange, ligesom Ypperstepræsten hvert År går ind i Helligdommen med fremmed Blod;

²⁵ nor was it that He would offer Himself often, as the high priest enters the holy place year by year with blood that is not his own.

²⁷ Og ligesom det er Menneskene beskikket at dø een Gang og derefter Dom,

²⁷ And inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die once and after this comes judgment,
