Hibulu 2
1 Amaiba: le, ninia mae muguluma: ne, ninia da dafawane sia: amo ninia nabi, amo baligiliwane lalegagumu da defea.
So, [since that is true], we must pay very careful attention to what we have heard [about God’s Son], in order that we do not drift away from it, [as a boat drifts off its course when people do not guide it] [MET].
2 Gode da ninia aowalali dunuma olelemusa: a:igele dunu asunasi. Ilia da amo sia: da dafawane ba: i. Nowa dunu da amo sia: nabawane hame hamonoba, e da ea hawa: hamoi amo defele se dabe iasu ba: i.
[God’s laws that] were given by angels were valid, and God justly punished all who rejected them and all who disobeyed [DOU] them.
3 Amaiba: le, ninia da amo gaga: su bagadedafa da hamedeiwane liligi dawa: sea, ninia hobeale masunu logo hamedafa ba: mu. Hina Gode Hisu da hidadea amo gaga: su sia: olelei. Ema ba: su dunu da lalegaguiba: le, amo sia: da dafawane, ninia ba: sa.
So, we will certainly not escape [God punishing us] if we ignore such a great [message about how God] [MTY] saves us! [RHQ] This [new message] was first spoken by the Lord [Jesus] {The Lord [Jesus] first spoke this [message]}. Then it was confirmed to us by those who heard [what the Lord told them] {those who heard [what the Lord told them] confirmed it to us}.
4 Gode da amo ba: su dunu ilia olelei da dafawane olelemusa: , E da musa: hame ba: i gasa bagade hou bagohame hamosu. E da Ea hanai defele, Ea A: silibu Hadigidafa Gala hahawane fidisu iasu liligi osobo bagade dunu ilima i.
God also confirmed to us [that this message was true] by [enabling believers to do] many things that showed God’s power, to do other miraculous things [DOU], and [to do other things] by the gifts that the Holy Spirit distributed to them according to what [God] desired.
5 Gode da hobea misunu gaheabolo osobo bagade (amo ninia da olelesa), amo ouligima: ne a: igele dunu hame ilegei.
God has determined that the angels will not rule over everything. [Instead, he has determined that Christ] will rule in the new world that [God] will [create]. [That is the new world] about which I am writing.
6 Be Gode Sia: da agoane dedei diala, “Gode! Osobo bagade dunu ilia da hamedei liligi fawane. Amaiba: le, Di da abuliba: le ilima asigiliwane dadawa: sala?
Someone spoke to [God about this] somewhere [in the Scriptures], saying, (No one is worthy enough for you to think about him!/Who is [worthy enough] for you to think about him?) [RHQ] (No human is [worthy enough] for you to care for him!/Is any human [worthy enough] for you to care for him?) [RHQ]
7 Di da osobo bagade dunu ili fonobahadi ouesaloma: ne, a:igele dunu ilima haguduga ligisi. Be osobo bagade dunu ilima hadigi amola mimogo hou habuga agoane ilima figisi, amola ili liligi huluane ouligima: ne ilegei.”
[So it is surprising that] you have caused people to be for a little while inferior in rank to angels. You have greatly honored [DOU] them [MET], as [kings are honored with] a crown.
8 Gode Sia: da agoane dedei, “Gode da osobo bagade dunu ilia liligi huluane amoma ouligima: ne ouligisu hamoi.” Amo da “liligi huluane” sia: sa. Be wali, osobo bagade dunu ilia liligi huluanema ouligisu hame esala, amo ninia ba: sa.
You have put everything under people’s control [MET]. God has determined that people will rule over absolutely everything [LIT]. But now, at this present time, we perceive that people do not yet have authority over everything.
9 Be Yesu, E da fonobahadi ouesaloma: ne, a:igele dunu ilima hagudu ligisi, ninia da ba: sa. E da Gode Ea hahawane dogolegele iasu dawa: beba: le, dunu huluane ilia bogosu E da lai dagoi. E da se nabawane bogobeba: le, Gode da Ema hadigi gasa bagade Hina hou i dagoi.
But we do know about Jesus, [who truly has authority over everything]! Hebrews 2:9b-13 Jesus, for a little while, became inferior [in rank] to angels in order to die on behalf of [MET] everyone. He became inferior when he suffered [and] died, as God kindly [planned]. But now he has been greatly [honored] [DOU] [by being] crowned [as kings are].
10 Gode da liligi huluane hahamosa amola liligi huluane mae muguluma: ne gagusa. E da Ea mano bagohame Yesu Ea hadigi gilisili lama: ne hamomusa: , Yesu Gelesuma se bagade iasu. Yesu da Ea lalegagui fi dunu gaga: sudafa amoga oule masa: ne, E da amo hou hamoi amola amo hou ninia defeawane ba: sa.
It was fitting that [God] make [Jesus] (perfect/all that God intended him to be). God was enabling many people who would belong to him [MET] to share his glory. God [is the one who] created all things, and [he is the one] for whom all things [exist]. [He perfected Jesus] by causing him to suffer [and die]. [Jesus] is the one whom [God] uses to save people.
11 E da dunu ilia wadela: i hou dodofemusa: dawa: E amola Ea fofoloi hamoi dunu, da Ada afadafa esala. Amaiba: le, Yesu da ilima “eya” dio mae gogosiane asula.
[Jesus] is the one who (makes people holy/sets people apart for God), and they all belong to God’s family. [As a result, Christ] gladly [LIT] proclaims them to be [like] his own brothers [and sisters].
12 E da Godema amane sia: sa, “Na da Naeya ilima Dia hawa: hamoi olelemu. Ilia gilisisu amo ganodini Na da Dima nodomu!”
[The Psalmist wrote what Christ said to God about us becoming] his brothers, in these words: I will proclaim to my brothers how awesome you are (OR, what you ([are like/have done])) [MTY]. I will sing praise to you in the presence of the congregation!
13 E da Godema eno amane sia: sa, “Gode! Na Dima dafawaneyale dawa: mu.” E eno amane sia: i, “Na amola mano amo Gode da Nama i, da goea.”
And a prophet wrote [in] another [Scripture passage what Christ said about God], I will trust him. And in another [Scripture passage, Christ said about those who are like his] children, I and the ones that God has given me are here.
14 Amo Ea mano (amo dio Yesu da asuli) ilia da hu amola maga: me, amoga hamoiba: le, Yesu da hu amola maga: me lale, Ea osobo bagade mano defele esalusu. Sa: ida: ne da dunu bogoma: ne gasa lai dagoi. Be Yesu da Sa: ida: ne gugunufinisima: ne, bogoi dagoi.
So, since those [whom God calls his] children are all human beings [MTY], Jesus also became a human being [just like them]. The devil has the power to cause people [to be afraid] to die, but Christ became human in order that by his dying he might make the devil powerless.
15 E da agoane hamobeba: le, osobo bagade dunu amo da bogomuba: le beda: i, eso huluane se iasu diasuga esalebe dunu agoai ba: su, amo ilia halegale masa: ne, ilia se iasu diasu logo doasi dagoi.
[Jesus did that] to free all of us who are like slaves [MET] all the time we live, because we are [forced to] be afraid to die.
16 E da a: igele dunu hame fidisa, amo ninia noga: le ba: sa. Be Gode Sia: da agoane dedei diala, “E da A: ibalaha: me egaga mano fidisa.”
Because [Jesus became a human being], it is not angels whom he wants to help. No, it is we who trust God as Abraham did whom he wants to help.
17 Bai Yesu da osobo bagade dunu ilia wadela: i hou gogolema: ne olofoi ba: ma: ne, E da ilima mae yolesili, asigiwane Gobele Salasu Ouligisudafa Dunu Godema hawa: hamonana esaloma: ne, E da eya amo defele hu amola maga: me lai dagoi.
So, [since he came to help humans, not angels], he had to be made exactly like [us whom he calls] his own brothers [and sisters]. He wants to be a Supreme Priest who [acts] mercifully [to all people] and who faithfully does what God wants, so that people who had sinned would be declared no longer guilty.
18 Amola wali E da dunu amo da adoba: su amola se nabasu dawa: , ili fidimusa: dawa: Bai E da ilima doaga: be hou defele, Hisu adoba: su amola se nabasu ba: i dagoi.
[Specifically], he is able to help those/us who are tempted [to sin]. He can do that because he suffered, and he was also tempted [to sin like we are tempted to sin].
