¹Therefore, holy brothers, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Jesus;

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

²who was faithful to him who appointed him, as also was Moses in all his house.

²der var tro imod den, som beskikkede ham, ligesom også Moses var det i hele hans Hus.

³For he has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who built the house has more honor than the house.

³Thi 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.

⁴For every house is built by someone; but he who built all things is God.

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

⁵Moses indeed was faithful in all his house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were afterward to be spoken,

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

⁶but Christ is faithful as a Son over his house; whose house we are, if we hold fast our confidence and the glorying of our hope firm to the end.

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

⁷Therefore, even as the Holy Spirit says, “Today if you will hear his voice,

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

⁸don’t harden your hearts, as in the rebellion, like as in the day of the trial in the wilderness,

⁸da forhærder ikke eders Hjerter, som det skete i Forbitrelsen, på Fristelsens Dag i Ørkenen,

⁹where your fathers tested me by proving me, and saw my works for forty years.

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

¹⁰Therefore I was displeased with that generation, and said, ‘They always err in their heart, but they didn’t know my ways;’

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

¹¹as I swore in my wrath, ‘They will not enter into my rest.’” Psalm 95:7-11

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

¹²Beware, brothers, lest perhaps there be in any one of you an evil heart of unbelief, in falling away from the living God;

¹²så 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.

¹³but exhort one another day by day, so long as it is called “today”; lest any one of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.

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

¹⁴For we have become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our confidence firm to the end:

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

¹⁵while it is said, “Today if you will hear his voice, don’t harden your hearts, as in the rebellion.” Psalm 95:7-8

¹⁵Når der sigs: "I Dag, - når I høre hans Røst, da forhærder ikke eders Hjerter som i Forbitrelsen":

¹⁶For who, when they heard, rebelled? No, didn’t all those who came out of Egypt by Moses?

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

¹⁷With whom was he displeased forty years? Wasn’t it with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness?

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

¹⁸To whom did he swear that they wouldn’t enter into his rest, but to those who were disobedient?

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

¹⁹We see that they were not able to enter in because of unbelief.

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