Hebrews 2
1 So, [since that is true], we must pay very careful attention to what we have heard [about God’s Son], in order that we do not drift away from it, [as a boat drifts off its course when people do not guide it] [MET].
Busa kinahanglan nga hatagan nato ug mas labaw pa nga pagtagad kung unsa ang atong nadunggan, aron nga dili kita mapahilayo gikan niini.
2 [God’s laws that] were given by angels were valid, and God justly punished all who rejected them and all who disobeyed [DOU] them.
Kay kung ang mensahe nga gisulti pinaagi sa mga anghel tinuod, ug sa matag paglapas ug pagsupak nagdawat sa patas nga silot,
3 So, we will certainly not escape [God punishing us] if we ignore such a great [message about how God] [MTY] saves us! [RHQ] This [new message] was first spoken by the Lord [Jesus] {The Lord [Jesus] first spoke this [message]}. Then it was confirmed to us by those who heard [what the Lord told them] {those who heard [what the Lord told them] confirmed it to us}.
unsaon kaha nato pag-ikyas kung atong talikdan ang dakong kaluwasan? —ang kaluwasan nga unang gipahibalo pinaagi sa Ginoo ug gipamatud-an kanato pinaagi niadtong nakadungog niini.
4 God also confirmed to us [that this message was true] by [enabling believers to do] many things that showed God’s power, to do other miraculous things [DOU], and [to do other things] by the gifts that the Holy Spirit distributed to them according to what [God] desired.
Ang Dios nagpamatuod usab niini pinaagi sa mga ilhanan, mga katingalahan, ug pinaagi sa nagkalainlain nga gamhanang mga buhat, ug pinaagi sa mga gasa sa Balaang Espiritu nga iyang giapod-apod sumala sa iyang kaugalingong kabubut-on.
5 God has determined that the angels will not rule over everything. [Instead, he has determined that Christ] will rule in the new world that [God] will [create]. [That is the new world] about which I am writing.
Ang Dios wala nagbutang sa umaabot nga kalibotan, mahitungod kung unsa ang atong ginasulti, ilalom sa mga anghel.
6 Someone spoke to [God about this] somewhere [in the Scriptures], saying, (No one is worthy enough for you to think about him!/Who is [worthy enough] for you to think about him?) [RHQ] (No human is [worthy enough] for you to care for him!/Is any human [worthy enough] for you to care for him?) [RHQ]
Hinuon, adunay usa ka tawo nga kung diin nagpamatuod ug miingon, “Unsa man ang tawo, nga ikaw nagtagad man kaniya? O ang anak sa tawo, nga ikaw nag-atiman man kaniya?
7 [So it is surprising that] you have caused people to be for a little while inferior in rank to angels. You have greatly honored [DOU] them [MET], as [kings are honored with] a crown.
Gibuhat nimo ang tawo nga ubos gamay kaysa mga anghel; gikoronahan nimo siya sa himaya ug dungog.
8 You have put everything under people’s control [MET]. God has determined that people will rule over absolutely everything [LIT]. But now, at this present time, we perceive that people do not yet have authority over everything.
Gibutang nimo ang tanang pagbuot ilalom sa iyang tiilan.” Kay gihatag sa Dios ang tanang pagbuot sa tawo. Wala niya gibiyaan ang bisan unsa nga wala nailalom kaniya. Apan karon wala pa nato nakita ang tanan nga nailalom kaniya.
9 But we do know about Jesus, [who truly has authority over everything]! Hebrews 2:9b-13 Jesus, for a little while, became inferior [in rank] to angels in order to die on behalf of [MET] everyone. He became inferior when he suffered [and] died, as God kindly [planned]. But now he has been greatly [honored] [DOU] [by being] crowned [as kings are].
Bisan pa niana, nakita nato ang usa nga gihimo sa makadiyot, nga ubos kaysa mga anghel—si Jesus, nga, tungod sa iyang pag-antos ug kamatayon, gikoronahan uban sa himaya ug dungog. Busa karon pinaagi sa grasya sa Dios, si Jesus nakatilaw sa kamatayon alang sa matag tawo.
10 It was fitting that [God] make [Jesus] (perfect/all that God intended him to be). God was enabling many people who would belong to him [MET] to share his glory. God [is the one who] created all things, and [he is the one] for whom all things [exist]. [He perfected Jesus] by causing him to suffer [and die]. [Jesus] is the one whom [God] uses to save people.
Kini angay nga ang Dios, tungod kay ang tanang butang mitungha alang kaniya ug pinaagi kaniya, kinahanglan magdala sa daghang mga anak ngadto sa himaya, ug niana nahimo gayod siya nga pangulo sa ilang kaluwasan sa hingpit pinaagi sa iyang mga pag-antos.
11 [Jesus] is the one who (makes people holy/sets people apart for God), and they all belong to God’s family. [As a result, Christ] gladly [LIT] proclaims them to be [like] his own brothers [and sisters].
Kay managsama nga ang usa nga naghalad ug kadtong mga hinalad, tanan naggikan sa usa ka tinubdan, ang Dios. Alang niini nga hinungdan ang usa nga naghalad kanila sa Dios dili maulaw nga tawagon sila nga mga igsoon.
12 [The Psalmist wrote what Christ said to God about us becoming] his brothers, in these words: I will proclaim to my brothers how awesome you are (OR, what you ([are like/have done])) [MTY]. I will sing praise to you in the presence of the congregation!
Siya miingon, “Akong imantala ang imong ngalan sa akong mga igsoon, ako magaawit mahitungod kanimo gikan sa sulod sa panagtigom.”
13 And a prophet wrote [in] another [Scripture passage what Christ said about God], I will trust him. And in another [Scripture passage, Christ said about those who are like his] children, I and the ones that God has given me are here.
Ug miingon siya pag-usab, “Mosalig ako diha kaniya.” Ug usab, “Tan-awa, ania ako ug ang mga anak nga gihatag sa Dios kanako.”
14 So, since those [whom God calls his] children are all human beings [MTY], Jesus also became a human being [just like them]. The devil has the power to cause people [to be afraid] to die, but Christ became human in order that by his dying he might make the devil powerless.
Busa, sanglit kay ang mga anak sa Dios nakaambit man sa unod ug dugo, si Jesus usab miambit sa samang mga butang, aron nga pinaagi sa kamatayon buhaton niya nga dili makahimo ang usa nga anaay gahom sa kamatayon, nga mao, ang yawa.
15 [Jesus did that] to free all of us who are like slaves [MET] all the time we live, because we are [forced to] be afraid to die.
Mao kini aron nga iyang mapalingkawas kadtong tanan nga pinaagi sa kahadlok sa kamatayon nagpuyo sa pagkaulipon sa tibuok nilang kinabuhi.
16 Because [Jesus became a human being], it is not angels whom he wants to help. No, it is we who trust God as Abraham did whom he wants to help.
Kay sa pagkatinuod dili ang mga anghel ang iyang gitabangan. Kondili, iyang gitabangan ang mga kaliwatan ni Abraham.
17 So, [since he came to help humans, not angels], he had to be made exactly like [us whom he calls] his own brothers [and sisters]. He wants to be a Supreme Priest who [acts] mercifully [to all people] and who faithfully does what God wants, so that people who had sinned would be declared no longer guilty.
Busa gikinahanglan gayod alang kaniya nga mahimong sama sa iyang mga igsoong sa tanang paagi, aron nga siya mahimong usa ka maluluy-on ug matinud-anon nga labawng pari diha sa mga butang sa Dios, ug aron makab-ot niya ang kapasayloan alang sa mga sala sa katawhan.
18 [Specifically], he is able to help those/us who are tempted [to sin]. He can do that because he suffered, and he was also tempted [to sin like we are tempted to sin].
Tungod kay si Jesus mismo nag-antos, gitintal, makahimo siya sa pagtabang niadtong mga natintal.
