Hebrews 2

1 Wherefore wee ought diligently to giue heede to the thinges which wee haue heard, lest at any time we runne out.

For this reason we ought the more earnestly to attend to what we have heard, least by any means we should be found deficient.

2 For if the worde spoken by Angels was stedfast, and euery transgression, and disobedience receiued a iust recompence of reward,

For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received it's just recompence;

3 How shall we escape, if we neglect so great saluation, which at the first began to be preached by the Lord, and afterward was confirmed vnto vs by them that heard him,

how shall we escape, if we neglect so great a salvation? which began to be declared by the Lord, and was confirmed to us by them that heard Him;

4 God bearing witnes thereto, both with signes and wonders, and with diuers miracles, and gifts of the holy Ghost, according to his owne will?

God also testifying together with them by signs, and wonders, and divers miracles, and gifts of the holy Spirit, according to his own will.

5 For he hath not put in subiection vnto the Angels the world to come, whereof we speake.

For He hath not subjected to angels the world to come, of which we speak.

6 But one in a certaine place witnessed, saying, What is man, that thou shouldest bee mindefull of him? or the sonne of man, that thou wouldest consider him?

But one in a certain place hath testified, saying, "What is man that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man that thou visitest Him?

7 Thou madest him a litle inferiour to ye Angels: thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and hast set him aboue the workes of thine hands.

Thou madest Him for a little while inferior to the angels; with glory and honor hast thou crowned Him, and hast set Him over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet,"

8 Thou hast put all things in subiection vnder his feete. And in that he hath put all things in subiection vnder him, he left nothing that should not be subiect vnto him. But we yet see not all things subdued vnto him,

For in putting all things under Him, He left nothing which was not to be in subjection to Him: though we do not yet see all things subjected to Him.

9 But we see Iesus crowned with glory and honour, which was made litle inferiour to the Angels, through the suffering of death, that by Gods grace he might taste death for all men.

But we see Jesus, who was made for a little while lower than the angels, in order to suffer death, that by the grace of God He might taste death for every man, crowned with glory and honor.

10 For it became him, for whome are all these thinges, and by whome are all these things, seeing that hee brought many children vnto glory, that he should consecrate the Prince of their saluation through afflictions.

For it became Him for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to make the author of their salvation perfect by sufferings:

11 For he that sanctifieth, and they which are sanctified, are all of one: wherefore he is not ashamed to call them brethren,

since He that sanctifieth, and they that are sanctified, are all of one. For which cause He is not ashamed to call them brethren,

12 Saying, I will declare thy Name vnto my brethren: in the middes of the Church will I sing praises to thee.

saying, "I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the congregation will I praise Thee."

13 And againe, I will put my trust in him. And againe, Beholde, here am I, and the children which God hath giuen me.

And again, "I will trust in Him:" and again, "Behold, I, and the children which God hath given me."

14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himselfe likewise tooke part with them, that hee might destroye through death, him that had the power of death, that is the deuil,

Seeing then the children are partakers of flesh and blood, He also himself in like manner partook of them; that by death He might destroy him that had the empire of death, that is, the devil:

15 And that he might deliuer all them, which for feare of death were all their life time subiect to bondage.

and deliver those who through fear of death were all their life-time subject to bondage.

16 For he in no sort tooke on him the Angels nature, but hee tooke on him the seede of Abraham.

For indeed He taketh not hold of angels to save them, but of the seed of Abraham.

17 Wherefore in all things it behoued him to be made like vnto his brethren, that hee might be mercifull, and a faithfull hie Priest in things concerning God, that he might make reconciliation for the sinnes of the people.

Whence it behoved Him to be made in all things like unto his brethren, that He might be a merciful and faithful high-priest in the things concerning God, to make atonement for the sins of the people:

18 For in that he suffered, and was tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.

for as He himself hath suffered, in being tempted, He is able to succour those that are tempted.
