< Hebrews 2 >
1 Because of this it behooves more abundantly to give heed us to the [things] we have heard, otherwise otherwise (we may drift away. *N(k)O*)
Therefore we ought to be exceedingly cautious, in regard to what we have heard, lest we fall away.
2 If for the through angels having been spoken word was unalterable, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense,
For if the word uttered by the medium of angels was confirmed, and every one who heard it, and transgressed it, received a just retribution;
3 how we ourselves will escape such a great having neglected a salvation? which a commencement having received declaring through the Lord by those having heard to us it was confirmed
how shall we escape, if we despise the things which are our life, things which began to be spoken by our Lord, and were confirmed to us by them who heard from him,
4 bearing witness God by signs together with [them] and by wonders and by various miracles and of [the] Spirit Holy by distributions according to the of Him will.
while God gave testimony concerning them, by signs and wonders, and by various miracles and distributions of the Holy Spirit, which were given according to his pleasure?
5 Not for to angels did He subject the world which is coming concerning which we are speaking;
For to the angels he hath not subjected the world to come, of which we speak.
6 Has testified however somewhere someone saying; What is man that You are mindful of him or [the] son of man that You care for him?
But as the scripture testifieth, and saith: What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou attendest to him?
7 You made lower him a little some than [the] angels; with glory and with honor You crowned him (and you appointed him upon the works of hands of you; *KO*)
Thou hast depressed him somewhat lower than the angels: glory and honor hast thou put on his head; and thou hast invested him with authority over the work of thy hand.
8 all things You have put in subjection under the feet of him. In for subjecting to him all things no [thing] He left to him unsubject; At present however not yet do we see to Him all things subjected.
And all things hast thou subjected under his feet. And in this subjecting of all things to him, he omitted nothing, which he did not subject. But now, we do not yet see all things subjected to him.
9 Who however a little one than [the] angels made lower we see Jesus because of the suffering of death with glory and with honor crowned, so that (by [the] grace *NK(O)*) of God for everyone He may taste death.
But we see him, who was depressed somewhat lower than the angels, to be this Jesus, because of the passion of his death; and glory and honor are placed on his head; for God himself, in his grace, tasted death for all men.
10 It was fitting for to Him, for whom [are] all things and through whom [are] all things, many sons to glory having brought, the archetype of the salvation of them through sufferings to make perfect.
For it became him, by whom are all things, and on account of whom are all things, and who bringeth many sons unto his glory, to perfect the prince of their life by suffering.
11 The [One] both for sanctifying and those being sanctified of one [are] all; for which reason not He is ashamed brothers them to call
For he that sanctifieth, and they who are sanctified, are all of one nature. Therefore he is not ashamed to call them brethren;
12 saying: I will declare the name of You to the brothers of Mine, in [the] midst of [the] congregation I will sing praises of you.
as he saith, I will announce thy name to my brethren; in the midst of the assembly, I will praise thee.
13 And again: I myself will be already trusting in Him. And again: Behold I myself and the children whom to Me has given God.
And again, I will confide in him. And again, Behold me, and the children whom thou, God, hast given to me.
14 Since therefore the children have partaken of blood and of flesh also He himself likewise took part in the same things, so that through [His] death He may destroy the [one] the power holding of death, That is the devil,
For because the children participated in flesh and blood, he also, in like manner, took part in the same; that, by his death, he might bring to naught him who held the dominion of death, namely Satan;
15 and may set free those as many as fear of death through all [times] of them to live subject they were to slavery.
and might release them, who, through fear of death, are all their lives subject to bondage.
16 Not for surely somewhere surely somewhere [the] angels He helps, but [the] seed of Abraham He helps.
For he did not assume a nature from angels, but he assumed a nature from the seed of Abraham.
17 Therefore it was necessary in all things [His] brothers to be made like, so that a merciful He may become and faithful high priest [in] [things] relating to God in order to make propitiation for the sins of the people.
Wherefore it was right, that he should be in all respects like his brethren; that he might be merciful, and a high priest faithful in the things of God, and might make expiation for the sins of the people.
18 In that for has suffered He Himself having been tempted, He is able those being tempted to help.
For, in that he himself hath suffered, and been tempted, he is able to succor them who are tempted.
