Hebrews 2

1 We must pay closer attention, therefore, to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away.

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

2 For if the message spoken by angels was binding, and every transgression and disobedience received its just punishment,

2 Thi når det Ord, som taltes ved Engle*, blev urokket, og hver Overtrædelse og Ulydighed fik velforskyldt Løn, { [*Mose Lov. 5 Mos. 33, 2. Ap. G. 7, 53. Gal. 3, 19. 5 Mos 27, 26.] }

3 how shall we escape if we neglect such a great salvation? This salvation was first announced by the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard Him,

3 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,

4 and was affirmed by God through signs, wonders, various miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to His will.

4 idet Gud vidnede med både ved Tegn og Undere og mange Hånde kraftige Gerninger og ved Meddelelse af den Helligånd efter sin Villie.

5 For it is not to angels that He has subjected the world to come, about which we are speaking.

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

6 But somewhere it is testified in these words: “What is man that You are mindful of him, or the son of man that You care for him?

6 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?

7 You made him a little lower than the angels; You crowned him with glory and honor

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

8 and placed everything under his feet.” When God subjected all things to him, He left nothing outside of his control. Yet at present we do not see everything subject to him.

8 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;

9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, now crowned with glory and honor because He suffered death, so that by the grace of God He might taste death for everyone.

9 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.

10 In bringing many sons to glory, it was fitting for God, for whom and through whom all things exist, to make the author of their salvation perfect through suffering.

10 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.

11 For both the One who sanctifies and those who are sanctified are of the same family. So Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers.

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

12 He says: “I will proclaim Your name to My brothers; I will sing Your praises in the assembly.”

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

13 And again: “I will put My trust in Him.” And once again: “Here am I, and the children God has given Me.”

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

14 Now since the children have flesh and blood, He too shared in their humanity, so that by His death He might destroy him who holds the power of death, that is, the devil,

14 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,

15 and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death.

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

16 For surely it is not the angels He helps, but the descendants of Abraham.

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

17 For this reason He had to be made like His brothers in every way, so that He might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, in order to make atonement for the sins of the people.

17 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.

18 Because He Himself suffered when He was tempted, He is able to help those who are being tempted.

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