¹Now indeed even the first TR adds “tabernacle” covenant had ordinances of divine service, and an earthly sanctuary.

¹Vel havde også den første Pagt Forskrifter for Gudstjenesten og en jordisk Helligdom.

²For a tabernacle was prepared. In the first part were the lampstand, the table, and the show bread; which is called the Holy Place.

²Thi der var indrettet et Telt, det forreste, hvori Lysestagen var og Bordet og Skuebrødene, det, som jo kaldes det Hellige.

³After the second veil was the tabernacle which is called the Holy of Holies,

³Men bag det andet Forhæng var et Telt, det, som kaldes det Allerhelligste,

⁴having a golden altar of incense, and the ark of the covenant overlaid on all sides with gold, in which was a golden pot holding the manna, Aaron’s rod that budded, and the tablets of the covenant;

⁴som havde et gyldent Røgelsealter og Pagtens Ark, overalt beklædt med Guld, i hvilken der var en Guldkrukke med Mannaen, og Arons Stav, som havde blomstret, og Pagtens Tavler,

⁵and above it cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy seat, of which things we can’t speak now in detail.

⁵men oven over den var Herlighedens Keruber, som overskyggede Nådestolen, hvorom der nu ikke skal tales enkeltvis.

⁶Now these things having been thus prepared, the priests go in continually into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the services,

⁶Idet nu dette er således indrettet, gå Præsterne til Stadighed ind i det forreste Telt, når de forrette Tjenesten;

⁷but into the second the high priest alone, once in the year, not without blood, which he offers for himself, and for the errors of the people.

⁷men i det andet går alene Ypperstepræsten ind een Gang om Året, ikke uden Blod,hvilket han ofrer for sig selv og Folkets Forseelser,

⁸The Holy Spirit is indicating this, that the way into the Holy Place wasn’t yet revealed while the first tabernacle was still standing;

⁸hvorved den Helligånd giver til Kende, at Vejen til Helligdommen endnu ikke er bleven åbenbar, så længe det førreste Telt endnu står,

⁹which is a symbol of the present age, where gifts and sacrifices are offered that are incapable, concerning the conscience, of making the worshipper perfect;

⁹hvilket jo er et Sindbillede indtil den nærværende Tid, og stemmende hermed frembæres der både Gaver og Ofre, som ikke i Henseende til Samvittigheden kunne fuldkomme den, der forretter sin Gudsdyrkelse,

¹⁰being only (with meats and drinks and various washings) fleshly ordinances, imposed until a time of reformation.

¹⁰men som kun, ved Siden af Mad og Drikke og forskellige Tvættelser, ere kødelige Forskrifter, pålagte indtil den rette Ordnings Tid.

¹¹But Christ having come as a high priest of the coming good things, through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation,

¹¹Men da Kristus kom som Ypperstepræst for de kommende Goder, gik han igennem det større og fuldkomnere Telt, som ikke er gjort med Hænder, det er: som ikke er af denne Skabning,

¹²nor yet through the blood of goats and calves, but through his own blood, entered in once for all into the Holy Place, having obtained eternal redemption.

¹²og gik ikke heller med Blod af Bukke eller Kalve, men med sit eget Blod een Gang for alle ind i Helligdommen og vandt en evig Forløsning.

¹³For if the blood of goats and bulls, and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling those who have been defiled, sanctify to the cleanness of the flesh:

¹³Thi dersom Blodet af Bukke og Tyre og Aske af en Kvie ved at stænkes på de besmittede helliger til Kødets Renhed:

¹⁴how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

¹⁴hvor meget mere skal da Kristi Blod, hans, som ved en evig Ånd frembar sig selv lydeløs for Gud, rense eders Samvittighed fra døde Gerninger til at tjene den levende Gud?

¹⁵For this reason he is the mediator of a new covenant, since a death has occurred for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first covenant, that those who have been called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.

¹⁵Og derfor er han Mellemmand for en ny Pagt, for at de kaldede, da der har fundet Død Sted til Genløsning fra Overtrædelserne under den første Pagt, må få den evige Arvs Forjættelse.

¹⁶For where a last will and testament is, there must of necessity be the death of him who made it.

¹⁶Thi hvor der er en Arvepagt, der er det nødvendigt, at hans Død, som har oprettet Pagten, skal godtgøres.

¹⁷For a will is in force where there has been death, for it is never in force while he who made it lives.

¹⁷Thi en Arvepagt er urokkelig efter døde, da den ingen Sinde træder i Kraft, medens den, som har oprettet den, lever.

¹⁸Therefore even the first covenant has not been dedicated without blood.

¹⁸Derfor er heller ikke den første bleven indviet uden Blod

¹⁹For when every commandment had been spoken by Moses to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of the calves and the goats, with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people,

¹⁹Thi da hvert Bud efter Loven var forkyndt af Moses for hele Folket, tog han Kalve- og Bukkeblod med Vand og skarlagenrød Uld og Isop og bestænkede både Bogen selv og hele Folket, idet han sagde:

²⁰saying, “This is the blood of the covenant which God has commanded you.” Exodus 24:8

²⁰"Dette er den Pagts Blod, hvilken Gud har pålagt eder."

²¹Moreover he sprinkled the tabernacle and all the vessels of the ministry in the same way with the blood.

²¹Og Tabernaklet og alle Tjenestens Redskaber bestænkede han ligeledes med Blodet.

²²According to the law, nearly everything is cleansed with blood, and apart from shedding of blood there is no remission.

²²Og næsten alt bliver efter Loven renset med Blod, og uden Blods Udgydelse sker der ikke Forladelse.

²³It was necessary therefore that the copies of the things in the heavens should be cleansed with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.

²³Altså var det en Nødvendighed, at Afbildningerne af de himmelske Ting skulde renses herved, men selve de himmelske Ting ved bedre Ofre end disse.

²⁴For Christ hasn’t entered into holy places made with hands, which are representations of the true, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us;

²⁴Thi Kristus gik ikke ind i en Helligdom, som var gjort med Hænder og kun var et Billede af den sande, men ind i selve Himmelen for nu at træde frem for Guds Ansigt til Bedste for os;

²⁵nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest enters into the holy place year by year with blood not his own,

²⁵ikke heller for at han skulde ofre sig selv mange Gange, ligesom Ypperstepræsten hvert År går ind i Helligdommen med fremmed Blod;

²⁶or else he must have suffered often since the foundation of the world. But now once at the end of the ages, he has been revealed to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.

²⁶ellers havde han måttet lide mange Gange fra Verdens Grundlæggelse; men nu er han een Gang for alle ved Tidernes Fuldendelse åbenbaret for at bortskaffe Synden ved sit Offer.

²⁷Inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die once, and after this, judgment,

²⁷Og ligesom det er Menneskene beskikket at dø een Gang og derefter Dom,

²⁸so Christ also, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, Isaiah 53:13 will appear a second time, without sin, to those who are eagerly waiting for him for salvation.

²⁸således skal også Kristus, efter at være bleven een Gang ofret for at bære manges Synder, anden Gang, uden Synd, vise sig for dem, som foruente ham til Frelse.
