¹Therefore we ought to pay greater attention to the things that were heard, lest perhaps we drift away.

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

²For if the word spoken through angels proved steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense;

²Thi når det Ord, som taltes ved Engle, blev urokket, og hver Overtrædelse og Ulydighed f1k velforskyldt Løn,

³how will we escape if we neglect so great a salvation—which at the first having been spoken through the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard;

³hvorledes 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,

⁴God also testifying with them, both by signs and wonders, by various works of power, and by gifts of the Holy Spirit, according to his own will?

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

⁵For he didn’t subject the world to come, of which we speak, to angels.

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

⁶But one has somewhere testified, saying, “What is man, that you think of him? Or the son of man, that you care for him?

⁶Men 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?

⁷You made him a little lower than the angels. You crowned him with glory and honor. TR adds “and set him over the works of your hands”

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

⁸You have put all things in subjection under his feet.” Psalm 8:4-6 For in that he subjected all things to him, he left nothing that is not subject to him. But now we don’t see all things subjected to him, yet.

⁸alle 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;

⁹But we see him who has been made a little lower than the angels, Jesus, because of the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that by the grace of God he should taste of death for everyone.

⁹men 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.

¹⁰For it became him, for whom are all things, and through whom are all things, in bringing many children to glory, to make the author of their salvation perfect through sufferings.

¹⁰Thi 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.

¹¹For both he who sanctifies and those who are sanctified are all from one, for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brothers The word for “brothers” here and where context allows may also be correctly translated “brothers and sisters” or “siblings.” ,

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

¹²saying, “I will declare your name to my brothers. In the midst of the congregation I will sing your praise.” Psalm 22:22

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

¹³Again, “I will put my trust in him.” Isaiah 8:17 Again, “Behold, here I am with the children whom God has given me.” Isaiah 8:18

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

¹⁴Since then the children have shared in flesh and blood, he also himself in the same way partook of the same, that through death he might bring to nothing him who had the power of death, that is, the devil,

¹⁴Efterdi 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,

¹⁵and might deliver all of them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.

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

¹⁶For most certainly, he doesn’t give help to angels, but he gives help to the seed of Abraham.

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

¹⁷Therefore he was obligated in all things to be made like his brothers, that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make atonement for the sins of the people.

¹⁷Derfor 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.

¹⁸For in that he himself has suffered being tempted, he is able to help those who are tempted.

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