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].
Pa inge sripa se sis kut in sruokya na ku ma pwaye su kut lohng tari kac, tuh kut fah tia tuhlac.
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.
Kas su tuh itukyang nu sin mwet matu lasr sin lipufan uh kas na pwaye, ac kutena mwet su tia fahsr kac ku tia akos uh, ac fah eis kaiyuk ma fal nu sel.
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}.
Na kut ac kaing fuka kut fin tia lohang nu ke molela na yohk se inge? Leum El tuh sifacna fahkak meet ke inkanek in molela se inge, ac elos su tuh lohng kac elos akpwayei nu sesr lah ma inge pwaye.
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.
In pacl sac pacna, God El sang mwe akpwaye lal sifacna in weang ma loh lalos, ke El tuh oru kain in mwenmen ac ma usrnguk puspis, ac ke El kitalik mwe kite ke Ngun Mutal, fal nu ke lungse lal.
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.
God El tiana filiya tuh lipufan in leumi facl sasu se ma ac fah tuku — aok, facl se su kut kaskaskin uh.
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]
A oasr verse in Ma Simusla fahk mu: “O God, mea mwet, tuh kom in nunku kacl; Ac mea se mwet uh, tuh kom in saokkin?
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.
Kom tuh oru elos in pusisel liki lipufan uh ke kitin pacl; Kom sonelosi ke wolana ac sunak,
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.
Ac oru tuh elos in leumi ma nukewa.” Oasr fahkya mu God El tuh oru mwet uh in “leumi ma nukewa”; ac kalmac pa wangin ma tia wi. Tusruktu kut tiana akilen mu mwet uh leumi ma nukewa in pacl inge.
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].
A kut liye Jesus, su tuh orekla in pusisel liki lipufan uh ke kitin pacl, tuh ke lungkulang lun God, elan misa ke mwet nukewa. Inge kut liye lah akfulatyeyuk el ke sie tefuro lun wolana ac sunak ke sripen misa su el keok kac.
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.
Nuna fal tuh God, su orala ac karingin ma nukewa, Elan oru tuh Jesus el fah arulana fulat ke sripen keok lal, in tuh pwanma wen puspis in ipeis ke wolana lal. Tuh Jesus pa pwanulosme nu ke molela se inge.
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].
El aknasnasyela mwet uh liki ma koluk lalos, ouinge Jesus, ac elos nukewa su aknasnasyeyukla, elos ma nutin Papa sefanna. Ke sripa se inge, Jesus El tia mwekin in pangnolos mwet wial.
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!
El fahk nu sin God, “Nga ac fahk nu sin mwet wiuk ke ma kom orala; Nga fah kaksakin kom in pacl in tukeni lalos.”
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.
El oayapa fahk, “Nga fah filiya lulalfongi luk in God.” Ac El oayapa fahk, “Nga pa inge, yurin tulik su God El ase nu sik.”
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.
Ke sripen elos inge su el pangon “tulik” elos orekla ke ikwa ac srah, ouinge Jesus el oayapa ekla in oana elos ac moulkin moul in mwet. El oru ma inge tuh ke sripen misa lal elan ku in kunausla Devil, su oasr ku la fin misa,
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.
ac in ouiya se inge el aksukosokyelosla su mwet kohs in moul lalos nufon ke sripen elos sangeng ke misa.
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.
Tuh kalem na lah tia lipufan pa el kasru uh. A “El kasru filin tulik natul Abraham,” oana simla in Ma Simusla.
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.
Kalmen ma inge pa el enenu in ekla in oana tulik wial uh in ouiya nukewa, tuh elan ku in Mwet Tol Fulat oaru ac pakoten lalos ke kulansap lal nu sin God, tuh mwet uh in ku in eis nunak munas ke ma koluk lalos.
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].
Ac inge el ku in kasrelos su srifeyuk, mweyen el wi pac srifeyuk ac keok.
