< 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*)
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 If for the through angels having been spoken word was unalterable, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense,
For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received it's just recompence;
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 neglect so great a salvation? which began to be declared by the Lord, and was confirmed to us by them that heard 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.
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 Not for to angels did He subject the world which is coming concerning which we are speaking;
For He hath not subjected to angels 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 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 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 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 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.
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 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 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 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 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 The [One] both for sanctifying and those being sanctified of one [are] all; for which reason not He is ashamed brothers them to call
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 the name of You to the brothers of Mine, in [the] midst of [the] congregation I will sing praises of you.
saying, "I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the congregation will I 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 trust in Him:" and again, "Behold, I, and the children which God hath given 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,
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 may set free those as many as fear of death through all [times] of them to live subject they were to slavery.
and deliver those who through fear of death were all their life-time subject to bondage.
16 Not for surely somewhere surely somewhere [the] angels He helps, but [the] seed of Abraham He helps.
For indeed He taketh not hold of angels to save them, but of 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.
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 In that for has suffered He Himself having been tempted, He is able those being tempted to help.
for as He himself hath suffered, in being tempted, He is able to succour those that are tempted.
