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].
Cawh, ak chang na am naming plengnaak hau aham ningnih ing ning zaak awi ce ak nep na ning ngaih aham awm hy.
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.
Khan ceityihkhqi ak kqawn awi ing zani thlang pin nawh, awi ak eekkhqi ingkaw awi amak ngaikhqi boeih ing toelnaak ce ami huh awhtaw,
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}.
ak bau soeih soeih hulnaak ce ikaw na awm amni sui awhtaw ikawmyihna nu amni loet thainaak khqoet kaw? Vawhkaw hulnaak ve Bawipa ing lamma cyk na phawng law hy, amik zakhqi boeih ing ce ak awi ce caksak uhy.
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.
Khawsa ingawm hatnaak, ngaih kyinaak kawpoek kyinaak ing sim sak hy, cekcoengawh Ciim Myihla kutdo ik-oeih ce amah ak ngaihnaak amyihna pe bai hy.
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.
Ningmih ing nik kqawn uh, ak law hly kawi khawmdek ce khan ceityihkhqi venawh anih ing am pehy.
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]
Cehlai hun pynoet awh thlang pynoet ing: Thlanghqing ve ikawmyih nanu a awm nawh nang ing nak poek loet, thlanghqing capa awm ikawmyihna nu a awm nawh na khoem loet?
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.
Khan ceityih anglakawh ak nem bet na anih ce nang ing sai hyk ti; boeimang kqihchahnaak ing nang ing myk adah tiksaw
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.
a khawk kai awh ik-oeihkhqi boeih ce taak pe hyk ti,” tinawh kqawn hy. A khawk kaiawh ik-oeihkhqi boeih taak pehy tinawh, amah a venawh amak pe qu ik-oeih pynoet awm Khawsa ing am hang hy tinaak ni. Cehlai tuh a venawh ik-oeih boeih boeih peek na ak awm ce amni hu hlan hy.
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].
Cehlai Jesu Khrih, khan ceityih anglakawh ak nem bet na sai na ak awm ce, boeimang kqihchahnaak ing myk adah na awm hawh hy, Khawsam qeennaak ak caming thlang thihnaak ce anih ing yh hy.
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.
Cakpa kawzah boeimangnaak na a ceh pyinaak ce, amah ak caming amah aham ik-oeih boeih ak awm sak Khawsa ing, khuikha ak soep na a huhnaak ak caming amah ce hulnaak ak saikung na sai hy.
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].
Thlanghqing ak ciimcaih sakkung ingkaw ak ciimcaih thlangkhqi taw ipkhui kaw pynoet ni. Cawh cekkhqi ce ka koeinaakhqi tinawh khy aham Jesu ce am chak hy.
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!
Anih ing, Ka koeinaakhqi venawh nang ming ce phawng kawng nyng saw; na thlang kqeng ang cunnaak awh nam kyihnaak laa ce sa kawng nyng,” tihy.
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.
Cek coeng bai awh, Anih ce ypna kawng nyng,” ti bai hy. Cekcoengawh vemyihna kqawn bai hy. “Khawsa ing ani peek naasenkhqi ing vawh awm nyng,” tinawh qee hy.
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.
Naasenkhqi ingtaw thi ingkaw sa ami taak awh thih saithainaak ak tukung ce Khrih ing a thihnaak ak caming a hqe thainaak aham thlanghqing na coeng law hy. Cawhkaw thih a ik-oeih saithainaak ak tukung taw, setan ni.
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.
Thih kqihnaak tamnaa ak kaiawh ak awm thlangkhqi boeih ce loet sak hy.
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.
Anih ing khan ceityihkhqi ce am bawm hy, Abraham a cadilkhqi ni a bawm hy.
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.
Cawh thlang qeenkhaw a ngai thainaak aham, Khawsa bibinaak awh ypawm khawsoeih na a awm thainaak aham ingkaw thlangkhqi a thawlhnaak awh hulnaak a sai thainaak aham ik-oeih soepkep awh anih awm a koeinaakhqi amyihna sai qu aham ngoe hy.
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].
Amah ing sykzoeknaak hu nawh a khuikha hawh awh sykzoeknaak ak hu thlangkhqi ce bawm thai hy.
