Hebræerne 12

¹ Derfor lader også os, efterdi vi have så stor en Sky af Vidner omkring os, aflægge enhver Byrde og Synden, som lettelig hilder os, og med Udholdenhed gennemløbe den foran os liggende Bane,

¹ Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,

³ Ja, tænker på ham, som har udholdt en sådan Modsigelse imod sig af Syndere, for at I ikke skulle blive trætte og forsagte i eders Sjæle,

³ For consider Him who has endured such hostility by sinners against Himself, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.

⁵ og I have glemt Formaningen, der jo dog taler til eder som til Sønner: "Min Søn! agt ikke Herrens Tugtelse ringe, vær heller ikke forsagt, når du revses af ham;

⁵ and you have forgotten the exhortation which is addressed to you as sons,“My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord,Nor faint when you are reproved by Him;

⁷ Holder ud og lader eder tugte; Gud handler med eder som med Sønner; thi hvem er den Søn, som Faderen ikke tugter?

⁷ It is for discipline that you endure; God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom his father does not discipline?

⁹ Fremdeles, vore kødelige Fædre havde vi til Optugtere, og vi følte Ærefrygt; skulde vi da ikke meget mere underordne os under Åndernes Fader og leve?

⁹ Furthermore, we had earthly fathers to discipline us, and we respected them; shall we not much rather be subject to the Father of spirits, and live?

¹¹ Al Tugtelse synes vel, imedens den er nærværende, ikke at være til Glæde, men til Bedrøvelse; men siden giver den til Gengæld dem, som derved ere øvede, en Fredens Frugt i Retfærdighed.

¹¹ All discipline for the moment seems not to be joyful, but sorrowful; yet to those who have been trained by it, afterwards it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness.

¹³ og træder lige Spor med eders Fødder, for at ikke det lamme skal vrides af Led, men snarere helbredes.

¹³ and make straight paths for your feet, so that the limb which is lame may not be put out of joint, but rather be healed.

¹⁵ og ser til, at ikke nogen går Glip af Guds Nåde, at ikke nogen bitter Rod skyder op og gør Skade, og de mange smittes ved den;

¹⁵ See to it that no one comes short of the grace of God; that no root of bitterness springing up causes trouble, and by it many be defiled;

¹⁷ Thi I vide, at han også siden, da han ønskede at arve Velsignelsen, blev forkastet (thi han fandt ikke Rum for Omvendelse), omendskønt han begærede den med Tårer.

¹⁷ For you know that even afterwards, when he desired to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no place for repentance, though he sought for it with tears.

¹⁹ og ikke til Basunens Klang og til en talende Røst, hvorom de, der hørte den, bade, at der ikke mere måtte tales til dem.

¹⁹ and to the blast of a trumpet and the sound of words which sound was such that those who heard begged that no further word be spoken to them.

²¹ Og - så frygteligt var Synet - Moses sagde: "Jeg er forfærdet og bæver."

²¹ And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, “I am full of fear and trembling.”

²³ og til de førstefødtes Menighed, som ere indskrevne i Himlene, og til en Dommer, som er alles Gud, og til de fuldkommede retfærdiges Ånder

²³ to the general assembly and church of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, and to God, the Judge of all, and to the spirits of the righteous made perfect,

²⁵ Ser til, at I ikke bede eder fri for den, som taler. Thi når de, som bade sig fri for ham, der talte sit Guddomsord på Jorden, ikke undslap, da skulle vi det meget mindre, når vi vende os bort fra ham, der taler fra Himlene,

²⁵ See to it that you do not refuse Him who is speaking. For if those did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, much less will we escape who turn away from Him who warns from heaven.

²⁷ Men dette "endnu een Gang" giver til Kende, at de Ting, der rystes, skulle omskiftes, efterdi de ere skabte, for at de Ting, der ikke rystes, skulle blive.

²⁷ This expression, “Yet once more,” denotes the removing of those things which can be shaken, as of created things, so that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.

²⁹ Thi vor Gud er en fortærende Ild. 

²⁹ for our God is a consuming fire.
