< Hebrews 2 >
1 Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things that were heard, lest haply we drift away [from them].
ato vayaM yad bhramasrotasA nApanIyAmahe tadarthamasmAbhi ryadyad azrAvi tasmin manAMsi nidhAtavyAni|
2 For if the word spoken through angels proved stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense of reward;
yato heto dUtaiH kathitaM vAkyaM yadyamogham abhavad yadi ca tallaGghanakAriNe tasyAgrAhakAya ca sarvvasmai samucitaM daNDam adIyata,
3 how shall we escape, if we neglect so great a salvation? which having at the first been spoken through the Lord, was confirmed unto us by them that heard;
tarhyasmAbhistAdRzaM mahAparitrANam avajJAya kathaM rakSA prApsyate, yat prathamataH prabhunA proktaM tato'smAn yAvat tasya zrotRbhiH sthirIkRtaM,
4 God also bearing witness with them, both by signs and wonders, and by manifold powers, and by gifts of the Holy Spirit, according to his own will.
aparaM lakSaNairadbhutakarmmabhi rvividhazaktiprakAzena nijecchAtaH pavitrasyAtmano vibhAgena ca yad IzvareNa pramANIkRtam abhUt|
5 For not unto angels did he subject the world to come, whereof we speak.
vayaM tu yasya bhAvirAjyasya kathAM kathayAmaH, tat ten divyadUtAnAm adhInIkRtamiti nahi|
6 But one hath somewhere testified, saying, What is man, that thou art mindful of him? Or the son of man, that thou visitest him?
kintu kutrApi kazcit pramANam IdRzaM dattavAn, yathA, "kiM vastu mAnavo yat sa nityaM saMsmaryyate tvayA| kiM vA mAnavasantAno yat sa Alocyate tvayA|
7 Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; Thou crownedst him with glory and honor, And didst set him over the works of thy hands:
divyadatagaNebhyaH sa kiJcin nyUnaH kRtastvayA| tejogauravarUpeNa kirITena vibhUSitaH| sRSTaM yat te karAbhyAM sa tatprabhutve niyojitaH|
8 Thou didst put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he subjected all things unto him, he left nothing that is not subject to him. But now we see not yet all things subjected to him.
caraNAdhazca tasyaiva tvayA sarvvaM vazIkRtaM||" tena sarvvaM yasya vazIkRtaM tasyAvazIbhUtaM kimapi nAvazeSitaM kintvadhunApi vayaM sarvvANi tasya vazIbhUtAni na pazyAmaH|
9 But we behold him who hath been made a little lower than the angels, [even] Jesus, because of the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that by the grace of God he should taste of death for every [man].
tathApi divyadUtagaNebhyo yaH kiJcin nyUnIkRto'bhavat taM yIzuM mRtyubhogahetostejogauravarUpeNa kirITena vibhUSitaM pazyAmaH, yata IzvarasyAnugrahAt sa sarvveSAM kRte mRtyum asvadata|
10 For it became him, for whom are all things, and through whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the author of their salvation perfect through sufferings.
aparaJca yasmai yena ca kRtsnaM vastu sRSTaM vidyate bahusantAnAnAM vibhavAyAnayanakAle teSAM paritrANAgrasarasya duHkhabhogena siddhIkaraNamapi tasyopayuktam abhavat|
11 For both he that sanctifieth and they that are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,
yataH pAvakaH pUyamAnAzca sarvve ekasmAdevotpannA bhavanti, iti hetoH sa tAn bhrAtRn vadituM na lajjate|
12 saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, In the midst of the congregation will I sing thy praise.
tena sa uktavAn, yathA, "dyotayiSyAmi te nAma bhrAtRNAM madhyato mama| parantu samite rmadhye kariSye te prazaMsanaM||"
13 And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold, I and the children whom God hath given me.
punarapi, yathA, "tasmin vizvasya sthAtAhaM|" punarapi, yathA, "pazyAham apatyAni ca dattAni mahyam IzvarAt|"
14 Since then the children are sharers in flesh and blood, he also himself in like manner partook of the same; that through death he might bring to nought him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;
teSAm apatyAnAM rudhirapalalaviziSTatvAt so'pi tadvat tadviziSTo'bhUt tasyAbhiprAyo'yaM yat sa mRtyubalAdhikAriNaM zayatAnaM mRtyunA balahInaM kuryyAt
15 and might deliver all them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.
ye ca mRtyubhayAd yAvajjIvanaM dAsatvasya nighnA Asan tAn uddhArayet|
16 For verily not to angels doth he give help, but he giveth help to the seed of Abraham.
sa dUtAnAm upakArI na bhavati kintvibrAhImo vaMzasyaivopakArI bhavatI|
17 Wherefore it behooved him in all things to be made like unto his brethren, that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people.
ato hetoH sa yathA kRpAvAn prajAnAM pApazodhanArtham IzvaroddezyaviSaye vizvAsyo mahAyAjako bhavet tadarthaM sarvvaviSaye svabhrAtRNAM sadRzIbhavanaM tasyocitam AsIt|
18 For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succor them that are tempted.
