Hebrews 2
1 Because of this it is more abundantly necessary to take heed to the things heard, lest we may drift away,
為此，我們必須更應注重所聽的道理，免得為潮流所沖去。
2 for if the word being spoken through messengers became steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just repayment,
如果藉著天使所傳示的話，發生了效力，凡違犯抗命的，都得了公平的報復；
3 how will we escape, having neglected such great salvation? Which having received [that] spoken through the LORD [from] the beginning, was confirmed to us by those having heard,
那麼，我們這些忽視這樣偉大救恩的人，怎能逃脫懲罰呢﹖這救恩原是主親自開始宣講的，是那些聽講的人給我們證實的，
4 God also bearing joint-witness both with signs and wonders, and manifold powers, and distributions of the Holy Spirit, according to His will.
又是天主以神蹟奇事和各種異能，以及照衪的旨意所分配的聖神的奇恩，所一同證實的。
5 For He did not subject the coming world to messengers, concerning which we speak,
的確，天主沒有把我們所討論的未來的世界，隸屬於天使之下，
6 and one in a certain place testified fully, saying, “What is man, that You are mindful of him, Or a son of man, that You look after him?
但有一個人在聖經某處曾證明說：『人算什麼，你竟顧念衪；人子算什麼，你竟看顧衪﹖
7 You made him [a] little less than messengers, You crowned him with glory and honor, And set him over the works of Your hands,
你使衪稍微遜於天使賜給衪尊崇和光榮當冠冕「令衪統治你手的造化」，
8 You put all things in subjection under his feet,” for in the subjecting to Him all things, He left nothing to Him unsubjected, but now we do not yet see all things subjected to Him,
將一切放在衪的腳下。』「將一切放在衪的腳下」一句，是說天主沒有留下一樣，不隸屬於衪權下的；但是現今我們還沒有看見一切全隸屬於衪權下。
9 and we see Him who was made [a] little less than messengers—Jesus—because of the suffering of death, having been crowned with glory and honor, that by the grace of God He might taste of death for everyone.
我們卻看見了那位「稍微遜於天使」的耶穌，因所受的死亡之苦，接受了尊崇和光榮的冠冕；這原是出於天主的恩寵，使衪為每個人嘗到死味。
10 For it was fitting to Him, because of whom [are] all things, and through whom [are] all things, bringing many sons to glory, to make the author of their salvation perfect through sufferings,
其實，那為萬物的終向和萬物根源的天主，既領導眾子進入光榮，藉苦難來成全拯救眾子的首領，也是適當的，
11 for both He who is sanctifying and those sanctified [are] all of one, for which cause He is not ashamed to call them brothers,
因為，祝聖者與被祝聖者都是出於一源；為這個原故，耶穌稱衪們為弟兄，並不以為恥，說：
12 saying, “I will declare Your Name to My brothers, In the midst of an assembly I will sing praise to You”; and again, “I will be trusting on Him”;
『我要向我的弟兄，宣揚你的聖名；在集會中，我要讚揚你。』又說：『我要依靠天主。』
13 and again, “Behold, I and the children that God gave to Me.”
又說：『看，我和天主所賞給我的孩子。』
14 Seeing, then, the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He Himself also took part of the same in like manner, that through death He might destroy him having the power of death—that is, the Devil—
那麼，孩子既然都有同樣的血肉，衪照樣也取了一樣得的血肉，為能藉著死亡，毀滅那握有死亡的權勢者----魔鬼，
15 and might deliver those, whoever, with fear of death, throughout all their life, were subjects of bondage,
並解救那些因死亡的恐怖，一生當奴隸的人。
16 for doubtless, He does not lay hold of messengers, but He lays hold of [the] seed of Abraham,
其實都知道，衪沒有援助天使，而援助了亞巴郎的後裔。
17 for this reason it seemed necessary to Him to be made like the brothers in all things, that He might become a kind and faithful Chief Priest in the things related to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people,
因此，衪應當在各方面相似弟兄們，好能在關於天主的事上，成為一個仁慈和忠信的大司祭，以補贖人民的罪惡。
18 for in that He suffered, Himself being tempted, He is able to help those who are tempted.
衪既然親自經過試探受了苦，也必能扶助受試探的人。
