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].
Jadi kita harus lebih memperhatikan apa yang sudah kita pelajari agar kita tidak menyimpang darinya.
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.
Jika pesan yang dibawa malaikat itu dapat dipercaya, dan setiap dosa dan tindakan ketidaktaatan membawa konsekuensi tersendiri,
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}.
bagaimana kita akan melarikan diri jika kita tidak memperhatikan keselamatan besar ini yang pertama kali Tuhan umumkan, dan kemudian kita sudah konfirmasi oleh mereka yang mendengarnya.
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.
Allah juga bersaksi melalui tanda-tanda dan mujizat, dengan tindakan yang menunjukkan kuasa-Nya, dan dengan karunia Roh Kudus, yang diberikan sesuai pilihan-Nya.
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.
Bukan malaikat yang akan menguasai dunia yang akan datang yang kita bicarakan.
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]
Tetapi seperti yang sudah dikatakan, “Manusia apa yang harus Engkau khawatirkan tentang mereka? Apa anak manusia yang Engkau harus peduli tentang dia.
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.
Engkau menempatkan dia sedikit lebih rendah dari pada malaikat, Engkau memahkotai dia dengan kemuliaan dan kehormatan, dan menempatkan dia atas semua ciptaanmu.
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.
Kamu memberinya otoritas atas segalanya.” Tidak ada yang tertinggal ketika Allah memberi-Nya otoritas atas segalanya. Namun, kita melihat bahwa belum semuanya tunduk pada otoritas-Nya.
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].
Tetapi kita melihat Yesus, ditempatkan sedikit lebih rendah dari pada para malaikat, melalui penderitaan kematian dimahkotai dengan kemuliaan dan kehormatan. Melalui rahmat Allah Yesus mengalami kematian untuk semua orang.
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.
Adalah hal yang tepat bahwa Allah yang menciptakan dan memelihara segala sesuatu, membawa banyak anak-Nya kepada kemuliaan, dan untuk sepenuhnya mempersiapkan melalui penderitaan orang yang menuntun mereka menuju keselamatan.
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].
Karena orang yang menguduskan orang dan orang yang dikuduskan adalah milik satu keluarga. Itulah sebabnya dia tidak ragu-ragu menyebut mereka “saudara”,
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!
sambil mengatakan “Aku akan mengumumkan namamu kepada saudara-saudaraku, Aku akan memuji kamu di antara orang-orang saat mereka bertemu bersama.”
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.
Juga “Aku akan percaya kepada-Nya,” dan “Inilah aku, bersama dengan anak-anak yang sudah Allah berikan kepadaku.”
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.
Karena anak-anak berbagi darah dan daging yang sama, Dia berbagi dalam hal ini dengan cara yang sama sehingga melalui kematian Dia dapat menghancurkan dia yang memiliki kuasa maut — sang iblis —
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.
dan membebaskan semua orang yang karena takut mati menjadi budak semua kehidupan mereka.
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.
Tentu saja bukan malaikat yang Dia khawatirkan, Dia prihatin untuk membantu anak-anak 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.
Karena itulah Dia perlu menjadi seperti saudara-saudaranya dalam segala hal, sehingga Dia bisa menjadi Imam Besar yang penyayang dan dapat dipercaya dalam segala hal menyangkut Allah, untuk mengampuni dosa-dosa umat-Nya.
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].
Karena Dia sendiri menderita ketika Dia dicobai, Dia mampu membantu mereka yang menghadapi pencobaan.
