< 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].
Puleino lusutu tuviekhe mbulongolo ukhulutilila khugala ugutuga pulikhe, ukhuta putulekhe ukhulengiwa khutale nago
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.
Ulwakhuva yiegave uvujumbwe uvuvaunchoviwe na vasuhwa vwa yielweli, pukhila vunangi nuvugalukhi vukyupilila uluvungu iwene.
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}.
Putukavaga ndakhiikhi ukhwipokha uvupokhi uvuvaha noluvu? — uvupokhi vuwa pavutanchi wa nchoviwe Nutwa nukhuvonekha khulyufwe nakhuvala uvuvapulikhe.
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.
U Nguluve voope avuvonisye khufihwani, nifidego, na mumbombo imbaha inchilipapingi, nakhuvuvonole wa mepo umbalanche inchuanchigavile ukhu kongana nuvunogwe wa mwene yuywa.
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.
U Nguluve sakhiviekhe eikhilunga ikhikoncha, eikhyutukhukhinchovelela inongwa ncha kyeene, pasi pa vasuhwa.
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]
Puleino umunu nongi atuvuliele aponu nongi vuita, “Umunu vie veeni, pu ave vakhu kumbukha? Pamo mwana va munu, nekhe undolelee?
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.
Upelile umunu ukhuva ideebe ukhulutilila avasuhwa; ufwulinche uluding'olielo lwa wudwaadwa nu lwimikho. (Nchingahincha: amamenyu aga. “Umbikhile pakyanya pa mbombo nchakho, gasimuli mbusimbe uwukhatale.)
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.
Uviekhile khila khinu pasi pamalunde gakho.” puleino uNguluve aveikhile khila khinu pasi pa munu. Sakhile khile khinu kyukyooni khikyo khisikhuli pasi pa mwene. Puleino ulu lieno satwilola tukhaale khila khinu khingave pasi pamwene.
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].
Paninie niyo, twilola umwene uviapeliwe mukhasekhe pasi ukhulutiliela avasuhwa— uYesu, uvi, savule yavunkuvilwa wamwene nuvufwe wa mwene, afwalei nchiwe uludinglulielo lwa wudwadwanu khwi mikhiwa. Pu leino nduhungu lwa Nguluve uYesu avonji nche uvufwe wa mwene, savuli ya munu uvie avenchaga.
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.
Lwale lunoomu ukhuta uNguluve, ulwakhuva khila khinu pukhile savuli ya mwene nukhugendela mumweene, aanogile ukhwincha na vaana vavingi mbudwaaada nukhuva anogile ukhupela eindongonchi mumbupokhi vwavo vadulufu mumbo nkuvilwa wa mwene.
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].
Ulwakhuva vuvavieli ula uviveikha ulwimikho navala uvuviveikhiwa ulwimikho, vooni vihuma mukhivumbukhu khimo, uNguluve ulwakhuv khu eili ula uvikhuvaveikha ulwimikho khwa Nguluve sifwa isoni ukhuta valukolwe.
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!
Iita, “Yanikhuvavula eilitaw lyakho khuva lukololwango, yanikhwimba ukhuta uve ukhuhuma igati mundulundamano.”
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.
Hange iita, “Yanikhwide ekha mumwene.'” Na khange, “'Lola apa punile na vaana uvu uNguluve amele.”
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.
Pulieno ulwakhuva avaana va Nguluve vooni vikyupilila umbili nu kisa, vuvuwa na yu Yesu aupilile ifinu filafila, ukhuta ukhugendela mbufwe akave ukhufweeyula ula uvyalienuvu vaha wa vufwe, uvi uyu vindugu.
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.
Eiyi yale ewo ukhuta avaveikhe mbulegeefu vala vooni uvu ukhugenela mbudwanchi wavufwe vataamage imilamile gyavo gyooni mutwa.
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.
Mbwayielweli savasuhwa uvuikhuvatanga. Puleino ikhuvalanga avanki vumbukhu khya Abrahamu.
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.
Puleino yale lusutu umweene ave ndavalukololwe vamwene munjila nchooni, Ukhuta pu ave intekhenchi umbaha unyakhisa hange igoloofu khuvaanu va Nguluve, nu khuta ave na makha gakhuhumya ulusyiekhilo lwa mbivi ncha vaanu.
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].
Ulwakhuva uYiesu yuywa nkuvilwe nukhugeliwa alienamakha gakhuvalanga vala avaviseliwa.
