Hebrews 2
1 So then, we really must pay the utmost attention to the things we have heard, so that we not drift away.
ato vayaṁ yad bhramasrotasā nāpanīyāmahe tadarthamasmābhi ryadyad aśrāvi tasmin manāṁsi nidhātavyāni|
2 For if the word spoken through angels became binding, and every violation and disobedience received a deserved penalty,
yato heto dūtaiḥ kathitaṁ vākyaṁ yadyamogham abhavad yadi ca tallaṅghanakāriṇe tasyāgrāhakāya ca sarvvasmai samucitaṁ daṇḍam adīyata,
3 how shall we escape if we are careless about that tremendous salvation?—it received its beginning through the Lord's declaration and was confirmed to us by those who heard Him[S],
tarhyasmābhistādṛśaṁ mahāparitrāṇam avajñāya kathaṁ rakṣā prāpsyate, yat prathamataḥ prabhunā proktaṁ tato'smān yāvat tasya śrotṛbhiḥ sthirīkṛtaṁ,
4 God adding His[F] attestation by signs, wonders, various miracles, and distributions of the Holy Spirit according to His own will.
aparaṁ lakṣaṇairadbhutakarmmabhi rvividhaśaktiprakāśena nijecchātaḥ pavitrasyātmano vibhāgena ca yad īśvareṇa pramāṇīkṛtam abhūt|
5 Because it is not to angels that He has subjected the coming inhabited earth, about which we are speaking;
vayaṁ tu yasya bhāvirājyasya kathāṁ kathayāmaḥ, tat ten divyadūtānām adhīnīkṛtamiti nahi|
6 rather, there is a place where someone testified saying: “What is man that You are mindful of him, or son of man that you care for him?
kintu kutrāpi kaścit pramāṇam īdṛśaṁ dattavān, yathā, "kiṁ vastu mānavo yat sa nityaṁ saṁsmaryyate tvayā| kiṁ vā mānavasantāno yat sa ālocyate tvayā|
7 You made him lower than the angels, for a little while; You crowned him with glory and honor,
divyadatagaṇebhyaḥ sa kiñcin nyūnaḥ kṛtastvayā| tejogauravarūpeṇa kirīṭena vibhūṣitaḥ| sṛṣṭaṁ yat te karābhyāṁ sa tatprabhutve niyojitaḥ|
8 You subjected all things under his feet.” It follows that in subjecting all things to him, He left nothing that is not so subjected. However, we do not yet see everything subjected to him, at present.
caraṇādhaśca tasyaiva tvayā sarvvaṁ vaśīkṛtaṁ||" tena sarvvaṁ yasya vaśīkṛtaṁ tasyāvaśībhūtaṁ kimapi nāvaśeṣitaṁ kintvadhunāpi vayaṁ sarvvāṇi tasya vaśībhūtāni na paśyāmaḥ|
9 But we do see Jesus, who ‘was made lower than the angels, for a little while’ (in order to suffer death), ‘crowned with glory and honor’—this, by the grace of God, so that He[S] might taste death on behalf of everyone.
tathāpi divyadūtagaṇebhyo yaḥ kiñcin nyūnīkṛto'bhavat taṁ yīśuṁ mṛtyubhogahetostejogauravarūpeṇa kirīṭena vibhūṣitaṁ paśyāmaḥ, yata īśvarasyānugrahāt sa sarvveṣāṁ kṛte mṛtyum asvadata|
10 Because it was appropriate to Him[F], for whom are all things and through whom are all things, in bringing many sons into glory, to complete the Author of their salvation through sufferings.
aparañca yasmai yena ca kṛtsnaṁ vastu sṛṣṭaṁ vidyate bahusantānānāṁ vibhavāyānayanakāle teṣāṁ paritrāṇāgrasarasya duḥkhabhogena siddhīkaraṇamapi tasyopayuktam abhavat|
11 For both He[S] who is sanctifying and those who are being sanctified are all from One, for which reason He is not ashamed to call them ‘brothers’,
yataḥ pāvakaḥ pūyamānāśca sarvve ekasmādevotpannā bhavanti, iti hetoḥ sa tān bhrātṛn vadituṁ na lajjate|
12 saying, “I will declare Your name to my brothers; in the midst of the congregation I will sing praise to You.”
tena sa uktavān, yathā, "dyotayiṣyāmi te nāma bhrātṛṇāṁ madhyato mama| parantu samite rmadhye kariṣye te praśaṁsanaṁ||"
13 And again, “I will put my trust in Him[F]”; and again, “Here am I and the children whom God has given me.”
punarapi, yathā, "tasmin viśvasya sthātāhaṁ|" punarapi, yathā, "paśyāham apatyāni ca dattāni mahyam īśvarāt|"
14 Since, then, the children have flesh and blood as their share, He[S] Himself likewise partook of the same, in order that through His death He might abolish the one who had the power of death—that is, the devil—
teṣām apatyānāṁ rudhirapalalaviśiṣṭatvāt so'pi tadvat tadviśiṣṭo'bhūt tasyābhiprāyo'yaṁ yat sa mṛtyubalādhikāriṇaṁ śayatānaṁ mṛtyunā balahīnaṁ kuryyāt
15 and set free these [the children] who during their whole lifetime were subject to slavery through fear of death.
ye ca mṛtyubhayād yāvajjīvanaṁ dāsatvasya nighnā āsan tān uddhārayet|
16 (Now surely He does not assist angels, but He does assist Abraham's seed.)
sa dūtānām upakārī na bhavati kintvibrāhīmo vaṁśasyaivopakārī bhavatī|
17 That is why He was obliged to become like those ‘brothers’ in all respects, so that He could be a merciful and faithful high priest, in what concerns God, with a view to making propitiation for the sins of the people.
ato hetoḥ sa yathā kṛpāvān prajānāṁ pāpaśodhanārtham īśvaroddeśyaviṣaye viśvāsyo mahāyājako bhavet tadarthaṁ sarvvaviṣaye svabhrātṛṇāṁ sadṛśībhavanaṁ tasyocitam āsīt|
18 For in that in which He Himself endured suffering, having been tested, He is able to assist those who are being tested.
yataḥ sa svayaṁ parīkṣāṁ gatvā yaṁ duḥkhabhogam avagatastena parīkṣākrāntān upakarttuṁ śaknoti|
