Hebrews 2
1 For this reason we must pay the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, for fear we should drift away.
atO vayaM yad bhramasrOtasA nApanIyAmahE tadarthamasmAbhi ryadyad azrAvi tasmin manAMsi nidhAtavyAni|
2 For if the word uttered through angels stood firm, so that every transgression and act of disobedience met with its just retribution, how shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation?
yatO hEtO dUtaiH kathitaM vAkyaM yadyamOgham abhavad yadi ca tallagghanakAriNE tasyAgrAhakAya ca sarvvasmai samucitaM daNPam adIyata,
3 Which having begun to be spoken by the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard him;
tarhyasmAbhistAdRzaM mahAparitrANam avajnjAya kathaM rakSA prApsyatE, yat prathamataH prabhunA prOktaM tatO'smAn yAvat tasya zrOtRbhiH sthirIkRtaM,
4 God himself corroborating their testimony by signs and wonders and a variety of miraculous powers, and by gifts of the Holy Spirit imparted in accordance with his own will.
aparaM lakSaNairadbhutakarmmabhi rvividhazaktiprakAzEna nijEcchAtaH pavitrasyAtmanO vibhAgEna ca yad IzvarENa pramANIkRtam abhUt|
5 It is not to angels that God subjected the age to be, of which we are speaking.
vayaM tu yasya bhAvirAjyasya kathAM kathayAmaH, tat tEn divyadUtAnAm adhInIkRtamiti nahi|
6 But some one, somewhere, testified, saying. What is Man, that thou art mindful of him? Or any man, that thou carest for 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 hast made him only a little lower that the angels; With glory and honor hast thou crowned him; And hast set him to govern the works of thy hands;
divyadatagaNEbhyaH sa kinjcin nyUnaH kRtastvayA| tEjOgauravarUpENa kirITEna vibhUSitaH| sRSTaM yat tE karAbhyAM sa tatprabhutvE niyOjitaH|
8 Thou hast put all things under his feet. For this putting all things under man means leaving nothing not subject to him. But we do not yet see all things subject to him.
caraNAdhazca tasyaiva tvayA sarvvaM vazIkRtaM||" tEna sarvvaM yasya vazIkRtaM tasyAvazIbhUtaM kimapi nAvazESitaM kintvadhunApi vayaM sarvvANi tasya vazIbhUtAni na pazyAmaH|
9 What we do see is Jesus, who was made for a time a little lower than the angels, now crowned with glory and honor, because of the suffering of death, in order that through God’s grace he might taste death for every man.
tathApi divyadUtagaNEbhyO yaH kinjcin nyUnIkRtO'bhavat taM yIzuM mRtyubhOgahEtOstEjOgauravarUpENa kirITEna vibhUSitaM pazyAmaH, yata IzvarasyAnugrahAt sa sarvvESAM kRtE mRtyum asvadata|
10 For it befitted him, for whom and through whom all things exist, in bringing many sons to glory, to make the Pioneer of their salvation perfect through sufferings.
aparanjca yasmai yEna ca kRtsnaM vastu sRSTaM vidyatE bahusantAnAnAM vibhavAyAnayanakAlE tESAM paritrANAgrasarasya duHkhabhOgEna siddhIkaraNamapi tasyOpayuktam abhavat|
11 For both he who sanctifies and those whom he is sanctifying are all from One; for which reason he is not ashamed to call them brothers, saying.
yataH pAvakaH pUyamAnAzca sarvvE EkasmAdEvOtpannA bhavanti, iti hEtOH sa tAn bhrAtRn vadituM na lajjatE|
12 I will proclaim thy name to my brothers; In the midst of the Church I will hymn thy praises.
tEna sa uktavAn, yathA, "dyOtayiSyAmi tE nAma bhrAtRNAM madhyatO mama| parantu samitE rmadhyE kariSyE tE prazaMsanaM||"
13 And again, I myself will put my trust in God. And again, Lo, I and the children God has given me.
punarapi, yathA, "tasmin vizvasya sthAtAhaM|" punarapi, yathA, "pazyAham apatyAni ca dattAni mahyam IzvarAt|"
14 Therefore, since the children are sharers in flesh and blood, he also similarly partook of the same, in order that through death he might render powerless 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 those who through fear of death had been subject to life-long bondage.
yE ca mRtyubhayAd yAvajjIvanaM dAsatvasya nighnA Asan tAn uddhArayEt|
16 For assuredly it is not angels, nay, it is the offspring of Abraham, whom he is ever taking by the hand.
sa dUtAnAm upakArI na bhavati kintvibrAhImO vaMzasyaivOpakArI bhavatI|
17 And so it was necessary that he should in all points be made like his brothers, so that he might become a compassionate and faithful high priest, in all that relates to God, to make reconciliation 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 inasmuch as he himself has suffered, being tempted, he is also able instantly to succor those who are tempted, he is also able instantly to succor those who are tempted.
yataH sa svayaM parIkSAM gatvA yaM duHkhabhOgam avagatastEna parIkSAkrAntAn upakarttuM zaknOti|
