Hebrews 3

1 Therefore, holy brothers, who share in the heavenly calling, set your focus on Jesus, the apostle and high priest whom we confess.

1 Derfor, hellige Brødre, delagtige i en himmelsk Kaldelse! ser hen til vor Bekendelses Udsending og Ypperstepræst, Jesus,

2 He was faithful to the One who appointed Him, just as Moses was faithful in all God’s house.

2 der var tro imod den, som beskikkede ham, ligesom også Moses var det i hele hans* Hus. { [*Guds.] }

3 For Jesus has been counted worthy of greater glory than Moses, just as the builder of a house has greater honor than the house itself.

3 Thi han er kendt værdig til større Herlighed end Moses, i samme Mål som den, der har indrettet et Hus, har større Ære end Huset selv.

4 And every house is built by someone, but God is the builder of everything.

4 Thi hvert Hus indrettes af nogen; men den, som har indrettet alt, er Gud.

5 Now Moses was faithful as a servant in all God’s house, testifying to what would be spoken later.

5 Og Moses var vel tro i hele hans Hus, som en Tjener, til Vidnesbyrd om, hvad der skulde tales;

6 But Christ is faithful as the Son over God’s house. And we are His house, if we hold firmly to our confidence and the hope of which we boast.

6 men Kristus er det som en Søn over hans Hus; og hans Hus ere vi, såfremt vi fastholde Håbets Frimodighed og Ros urokket indtil Enden.

7 Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says: “Today, if you hear His voice,

7 Derfor, som den Helligånd siger: “I Dag, når I høre hans Røst,

8 do not harden your hearts, as you did in the rebellion, in the day of testing in the wilderness,

8 da forhærder ikke eders Hjerter, som det skete i Forbitrelsen*, på Fristelsens** Dag i Ørkenen, { [*d. e. Meriba.] / [**d. e. Massa.] }

9 where your fathers tested and tried Me, and for forty years saw My works.

9 hvor eders Fædre fristede mig ved at sætte mig på Prøve, og de så dog mine Gerninger i fyrretyve År.

10 Therefore I was angry with that generation, and I said, ‘Their hearts are always going astray, and they have not known My ways.’

10 Derfor harmedes jeg på denne Slægt og sagde: De fare altid vild i Hjertet; men de kendte ikke mine Veje,

11 So I swore on oath in My anger, ‘They shall never enter My rest.’”

11 så jeg svor i min Vrede: Sandelig, de skulle ikke gå ind til min Hvile” -

12 See to it, brothers, that none of you has a wicked heart of unbelief that turns away from the living God.

12 så ser til, Brødre! at der ikke nogen Sinde i nogen af eder skal findes et ondt, vantro Hjerte, så at han falder fra den levende Gud.

13 But exhort one another daily, as long as it is called today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness.

13 Men formaner hverandre hver Dag, så længe det hedder “i Dag”, for at ikke nogen af eder skal forhærdes ved Syndens Bedrag.

14 We have come to share in Christ if we hold firmly to the end the assurance we had at first.

14 Thi vi ere blevne delagtige i Kristus, såfremt vi fastholde vor første Fortrøstning urokket indtil Enden.

15 As it has been said: “Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts, as you did in the rebellion.”

15 Når der siges: “I Dag, når I høre hans Røst, da forhærder ikke eders Hjerter som i Forbitrelsen”:

16 For who were the ones who heard and rebelled? Were they not all those Moses led out of Egypt?

16 hvem vare da vel de, som hørte og dog voldte Forbitrelse? Mon ikke alle, som gik ud af Ægypten ved Moses?

17 And with whom was God angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness?

17 Men på hvem harmedes han i fyrretyve År? Mon ikke på dem, som syndede, hvis døde Kroppe faldt i Ørkenen?

18 And to whom did He swear that they would never enter His rest? Was it not to those who disobeyed?

18 Og over for hvem tilsvor han, at de ikke skulde gå ind til hans Hvile, uden dem, som vare blevne genstridige?

19 So we see that it was because of their unbelief that they were unable to enter.

19 Og vi se, at de ikke kunde gå ind på Grund af Vantro.
