Hebrews 13

1 Continue in brotherly love.

1 Broderkærligheden blive ved!

2 Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have entertained angels without knowing it.

2 Glemmer ikke Gæstfriheden; thi ved den have nogle, uden at vide det, haft Engle til Gæster.

3 Remember those in prison as if you were bound with them, and those who are mistreated as if you were suffering with them.

3 Kommer de fangne i Hu, som vare I selv medfangne; dem, der lide ilde, som de, der også selv ere i et Legeme.

4 Marriage should be honored by all and the marriage bed kept undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers.

4 Ægteskabet være æret hos alle, og Ægtesengen ubesmittet; thi utugtige og Horkarle skal Gud dømme.

5 Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, for God has said: “Never will I leave you, never will I forsake you.”

5 Eders Vandel være uden Pengegridskhed, nøjes med det, I have; thi han har selv sagt: “Jeg vil ingenlunde slippe dig og ingenlunde forlade dig,”

6 So we say with confidence: “The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?”

6 så at vi kunne sige med frit Mod: “Herren er min Hjælper, jeg vil ikke frygte; hvad kan et Menneske gøre mig?”

7 Remember your leaders who spoke the word of God to you. Consider the outcome of their way of life and imitate their faith.

7 Kommer eders Vejledere i Hu, som have forkyndt eder Guds Ord, og idet I betragte deres Vandrings Udgang, så efterligner deres Tro!

8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.

8 Jesus Kristus er i Går og i Dag den samme, ja, til evig Tid.

9 Do not be carried away by all kinds of strange teachings, for it is good for the heart to be strengthened by grace and not by foods of no value to those devoted to them.

9 Lader eder ikke lede vild af mange Hånde og fremmede Lærdomme; thi det er godt, at Hjertet styrkes ved Nåden, ikke ved Spiser; thi deraf have de, som holdt sig dertil, ingen Nytte haft.

10 We have an altar from which those who serve at the tabernacle have no right to eat.

10 Vi have et Alter, hvorfra de, som tjene ved Tabernaklet, ikke have Ret til at spise.

11 Although the high priest brings the blood of animals into the Holy Place as a sacrifice for sin, the bodies are burned outside the camp.

11 Thi de Dyr, hvis Blod for Syndens Skyld bæres ind i Helligdommen af Ypperstepræsten, deres Kroppe opbrændes uden for Lejren.

12 And so Jesus also suffered outside the city gate, to sanctify the people by His own blood.

12 Derfor led også Jesus uden for Porten, for at han kunde hellige Folket ved sit eget Blod.

13 Therefore let us go to Him outside the camp, bearing the disgrace He bore.

13 Så lader os da gå ud til ham uden for Lejren, idet vi bære hans Forsmædelse;

14 For here we do not have a permanent city, but we are looking for the city that is to come.

14 thi her have vi ikke en blivende Stad, men vi søge den kommende.

15 Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise, the fruit of lips that confess His name.

15 Lader os da ved ham altid frembære Gud Lovprisnings Offer, det er: en Frugt af Læber, som bekende hans Navn.

16 And do not neglect to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.

16 Men glemmer ikke at gøre vel og at meddele; thi i sådanne Ofre har Gud Velbehag.

17 Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they watch over your souls as those who must give an account. To this end, allow them to lead with joy and not with grief, for that would be of no advantage to you.

17 Lyder eders Vejledere og retter eder efter dem; thi de våge over, eders Sjæle som de, der skulle gøre Regnskab - for at de må gøre dette med Glæde og ikke sukkende: thi dette er eder ikke gavnligt.

18 Pray for us; we are convinced that we have a clear conscience and desire to live honorably in every way.

18 Beder for os; thi vi ere forvissede om, at vi have en god Samvittighed, idet vi ønske at vandre rettelig i alle Ting.

19 And I especially urge you to pray that I may be restored to you soon.

19 Og jeg formaner eder des mere til at gøre dette, for at jeg desto snarere kan gives eder igen.

20 Now may the God of peace, who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep,

20 Men Fredens Gud, som førte den store Fårenes Hyrde, vor Herre Jesus, op fra de døde med en evig Pagts Blod,

21 equip you with every good thing to do His will. And may He accomplish in us what is pleasing in His sight through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.

21 han bringe eder til Fuldkommenhed i alt godt, til at gøre hans Villie, og han virke i eder det, som er velbehageligt for hans Åsyn, ved Jesus Kristus: ham være Æren i Evighedernes Evigheder: Amen.

22 I urge you, brothers, to bear with my word of exhortation, for I have only written to you briefly.

22 Jeg beder eder, Brødre! at I finde eder i dette Formaningsord; thi jeg har jo skrevet til eder i Korthed.

23 Be aware that our brother Timothy has been released. If he arrives soon, I will come with him to see you.

23 Vid, at vor Broder Timotheus er løsladt; sammen med ham vil jeg se eder, dersom han snart kommer.

24 Greet all your leaders and all the saints. Those from Italy send you greetings.

24 Hilser alle eders Vejledere og alle de hellige! De fra Italien hilse eder.

25 Grace be with all of you.

25 Nåden være med eder alle!
