< Hebrews 2 >
1 We must pay closer attention, therefore, to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away.
Ya mere, anyị aghaghị ilezi anya nke ọma banyere ihe anyị nụrụla, ka anyị hapụ isi na ha wezuga onwe anyị.
2 For if the message spoken by angels was binding, and every transgression and disobedience received its just punishment,
Nʼihi na ọ bụrụ na ozi ahụ e ziri site na ndị mmụọ ozi dị ire, ọ bụrụkwa na njehie maọbụ nnupu isi ọbụla natara ahụhụ kwesiri ya.
3 how shall we escape if we neglect such a great salvation? This salvation was first announced by the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard Him,
Anyị ga-esi aṅaa gbanarị ntaramahụhụ ma ọ bụrụ na anyị eleghara oke nzọpụta ahụ anya? Ọ bụ Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara ya, bụkwa nke ndị nụrụ ya gbaara anyị ama banyere ya.
4 and was affirmed by God through signs, wonders, various miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to His will.
Chineke nʼonwe ya tụkwasịrị ịgba ama nke ya, site nʼịrụ ọrụ ebube na ọrụ ịrịbama, na ọrụ ịtụnanya dị iche iche, nakwa ikesa ọtụtụ onyinye nke Mmụọ Nsọ, dị ka ọchịchọ ya siri dị.
5 For it is not to angels that He has subjected the world to come, about which we are speaking.
Ọ dịghị mgbe Chineke nyere ndị mmụọ ozi ike ịchị elu ụwa a. Anyị na-ekwu banyere ụwa gaje ịbịa abịa.
6 But somewhere it is testified in these words: “What is man that You are mindful of him, or the son of man that You care for him?
Otu onye agbaala akaebe nʼebe ọzọ, “Gịnị ka mmadụ bụ i ji na-eche banyere ha? Gịnị ka nwa nke mmadụ bụ iji na-elekọta ya?
7 You made him a little lower than the angels; You crowned him with glory and honor
Nʼihi na i mere ka ha dị ala nwantakịrị nʼebe ndị mmụọ ozi nọ; i jikwa ebube na nsọpụrụ kpube ya nʼisi dịka okpueze,
8 and placed everything under his feet.” When God subjected all things to him, He left nothing outside of his control. Yet at present we do not see everything subject to him.
dokwaa ihe niile nʼokpuru ụkwụ ya.” Mgbe o mere ka ihe niile dịrị nʼokpuru ya, o nwekwaghị ihe ọbụla ọ hapụrụ itinye nʼokpuru ya. Ma otu ọ dị, anyị ahụbeghị ka e doro ihe niile nʼokpuru ya.
9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, now crowned with glory and honor because He suffered death, so that by the grace of God He might taste death for everyone.
Ma anyị na-ahụ Jisọs bụ onye e mere ka ọ dị ala nwantakịrị oge karịa ndị mmụọ ozi, ma ugbu a ejirila ebube na nsọpụrụ kpukwasị ya nʼisi, nʼihi ahụhụ ọnwụ nke ọ hụrụ, ka o site nʼamara Chineke detụ ọnwụ ire nʼihi mmadụ niile.
10 In bringing many sons to glory, it was fitting for God, for whom and through whom all things exist, to make the author of their salvation perfect through suffering.
Ebe e sitere na ya kpọbata ọtụtụ ụmụ nʼebube, o ziri ezi ka Chineke, onye ihe niile dịrị na onye kere ihe niile, mee ka onyeisi nzọpụta ha bụrụ onye zuruoke site nʼahụhụ ọ hụrụ.
11 For both the One who sanctifies and those who are sanctified are of the same family. So Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers.
Onye ahụ na-eme mmadụ ka ọ dị nsọ, na ndị ahụ e mere ka ha dị nsọ si nʼotu ezinaụlọ. Nʼihi ya, ihere adịghị eme ya ịkpọ ha ụmụnna ya.
12 He says: “I will proclaim Your name to My brothers; I will sing Your praises in the assembly.”
Ọ sịrị, “Aga m ekwupụta aha gị nye ụmụnna m, nʼetiti nzukọ ka m ga-anọ bụọrọ gị abụ otuto.”
13 And again: “I will put My trust in Him.” And once again: “Here am I, and the children God has given Me.”
Ọzọkwa, “Aga m atụkwasị obi m na ya.” Ọzọkwa, ọ sịrị, “Lee mụ onwe m, na ụmụ ndị Chineke nyere m.”
14 Now since the children have flesh and blood, He too shared in their humanity, so that by His death He might destroy him who holds the power of death, that is, the devil,
Ebe ọ bụ na ụmụ ndị ahụ ketara oke na anụ ahụ na ọbara, ya onwe ya sooro ha keta oke nʼụdịdị ahụ, ka o site nʼọnwụ ya laa onye ahụ nwere ike ọnwụ nʼiyi, onye ahụ bụ ekwensu.
15 and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death.
Ma tọpụ ndị ahụ niile egwu nke ọnwụ mere ka ha bụrụ ohu na ndụ ha niile.
16 For surely it is not the angels He helps, but the descendants of Abraham.
Nʼihi na nʼezie, ọ bụghị ndị mmụọ ozi ka ọ na-enyere aka kama ọ bụ ụmụ ụmụ Ebraham.
17 For this reason He had to be made like His brothers in every way, so that He might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, in order to make atonement for the sins of the people.
Nʼihi nke a, e mere ka o yie ụmụnna ya nʼihe niile, ka o nwe ike ghọọ onyeisi nchụaja kwesiri ntụkwasị obi ma na nke nwere obi ebere nʼijere Chineke ozi, ka o nweekwa ike chụọ aja ikpuchi mmehie mmadụ niile.
18 Because He Himself suffered when He was tempted, He is able to help those who are being tempted.
Ebe ọ bụ na ya onwe ya tara ahụhụ mgbe a na-anwa ya ọnwụnwa, o nwekwara ike inyere ndị a na-anwa ọnwụnwa aka.
