Židům 2
1 Protož musímeť my tím snažněji šetřiti toho, což jsme slýchali, aby nám to nevymizelo.
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 Nebo poněvadž skrze anděly mluvené slovo bylo pevné, a každé přestoupení a neposlušenství vzalo spravedlivou odměnu pomsty,
[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 Kterakž my utečeme, takového zanedbávajíce spasení? Kteréžto nejprvé začalo vypravováno býti skrze samého Pána, od těch pak, kteříž Pána slýchali, nám utvrzeno jest.
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 Èemuž i Bůh svědectví vydával skrze divy a zázraky, a rozličné moci, i podělování Duchem svatým, podle vůle své.
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 Nebo nepoddal andělům okršlku země budoucího, o kterémž mluvíme.
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 Osvědčilť jest pak na jednom místě jeden, řka: Co jest člověk, že naň pomníš, aneb syn člověka, že na něj patříš.
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 Maličkos jej menšího andělů učinil, slavou a ctí korunoval jsi ho, a ustanovils jej nad dílem rukou svých.
[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 Všecko jsi podmanil pod nohy jeho. A kdyžť jest jemu všecko poddal, tedy ničeho nezanechal nepodmaněného jemu. Ačkoli nyní ještě nevidíme, aby jemu všecko poddáno bylo.
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 Ale toho maličko nižšího andělů, vidíme Ježíše, pro utrpení smrti slávou a ctí korunovaného, aby z milosti Boží za všecky okusil smrti.
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 Slušeloť zajisté na toho, pro kteréhož jest všecko, a skrze kteréhož jest všecko, aby mnohé syny přiveda k slávě, vůdce spasení jejich skrze utrpení dokonalého učinil.
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 Nebo i ten, jenž posvěcuje, i ti, kteříž posvěceni bývají, z jednoho jsou všickni. Pro kteroužto příčinu nestydí se jich nazývati bratřími,
[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 Řka: Zvěstovati budu jméno tvé bratřím svým, uprostřed shromáždění prozpěvovati budu tobě.
[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 A opět: Já budu v něm doufati. A opět: Aj, já a dítky, kteréž dal mi Bůh.
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 Poněvadž tedy dítky účastnost mají těla a krve, i on též podobně účasten jest jich, aby skrze smrt zahladil toho, kterýž má vládařství smrti, to jest ďábla,
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 A abyvysvobodil ty, kteřížto bázní smrti po všecken čas života svéhopodrobeni byli v službu.
[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 Neboť nepřijal andělů, ale símě Abrahamovo přijal.
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 A protož ve všem připodobněn býti měl bratřím, aby milosrdný byl a věrný nejvyšší kněz v tom, což by u Boha k očištění hříchů lidu jednáno býti mělo.
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 Nebo že jest i sám trpěl, pokoušín byv, může také pokušení trpícím spomáhati.
[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].
