< 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].
Ary amin’ izany dia tokony hotandremantsika mafimafy kokoa izay efa rentsika, fandrao hindaosina hiala aminy isika.
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.
Fa raha mafy ny teny izay nampilazaina ny anjely, ka samy voavaly marina avokoa ny fahadisoana rehetra mbamin’ ny fahotana,
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}.
hataontsika ahoana no fandositra, raha tsy mitandrina izao famonjena lehibe izao isika? dia ilay nampilazaina ny Tompo tamin’ ny voalohany, ary nohamafin’ izay nandre tamintsika kosa,
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.
sady Andriamanitra koa no niara-nanambara taminy tamin’ ny famantarana sy ny fahagagana ary tamin’ ny asa lehibe samy hafa sy ny fanomezana ny Fanahy Masìna nozarazarainy araka ny sitrapony.
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.
Fa tsy anjely no nampanekeny ny fiainana ho avy, izay lazainay.
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]
Fa ny anankiray nanambara eo amin’ ny teny iray hoe: “Inona ny olona, no ahatsiarovanao azy? Ary ny zanak’ olombelona, no amangianao azy?
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.
Nataonao ambany kely noho ny anjely izy; Efa nosatrohanao voninahitra sy fiandrianana izy, Ary nampanjakainao amin’ ny asan’ ny tananao;
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.
Ny zavatra rehetra dia efa nanapanekenao ho eo ambanin’ ny tongony”. Fa tamin’ ny nampanekeny azy ny zavatra rehetra, dia tsy nisy izay tsy nampanekeny azy. Nefa ankehitriny tsy mbola hitantsika fa efa ampanekena azy ny zavatra rehetra.
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].
Fa Ilay natao ambany kely noho ny anjely no hitantsika, dia Jesosy, ary noho ny fitondrany ny fahafatesana dia voasatroka voninahitra aman-daza Izy, mba hanandrana fahafatesana hamonjy ny olona rehetra noho ny fahasoavan’ Andriamanitra.
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.
Fa miendrika Izay anton’ ny nanaovana ny zavatra rehetra sady nahariana ny zavatra rehetra, raha mitondra zanaka maro ho any amin’ ny voninahitra, ny hahatanteraka ny Tompon’ ny famonjena ireo amin’ ny fahoriana.
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].
Fa iray no nihavian’ izy roroa, na Izay manamasìna, na izay hamasinina; koa izany no tsy mahamenatra Azy hanao ireo hoe “rahalahy”
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!
ka manao hoe: “Hitory ny anaranao amin’ ny rahalahiko Aho; Eo amin’ ny fiangonana no hiderako Anao”.
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.
Ary koa: “Izaho hatoky Azy”. Ary indray koa: “Indreto Izaho sy ireo zaza nomen’ Andriamanitra Ahy”.
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.
Koa satria manana nofo aman-drà ny zaza, dia mba nandray izany koa Izy, mba handringanany amin’ ny fahafatesana ilay manana ny herin’ ny fahafatesana, dia ny devoly,
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.
ary mba hanafahany izay rehetra nandany ny fiainany rehetra tamin’ ny fahandevozana noho ny tahotra ny fahafatesana.
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.
Fa hita marina fa tsy anjely no vonjeny, fa ny taranak’ i Abrahama no vonjeny.
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.
Koa amin’ izany dia miendrika mba hatao tahaka ny rahalahiny amin’ ny zavatra rehetra Izy, mba ho Mpisoronabe mamindra fo sy mahatoky ny amin’ Andriamanitra, mba hanaovany fanavotana noho ny heloky ny olona.
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].
Fa satria nalaim-panahy ny tenany tamin’ ny fahoriana nentiny, dia mahavonjy izay alaim-panahy koa Izy.
