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].
Portanto, devemos prestar atenção com muito mais empenho para as coisas que já ouvimos, para que nunca venhamos a cometer deslizes.
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.
Pois, se a palavra pronunciada pelos anjos foi confirmada, e toda transgressão e desobediência recebeu justa retribuição,
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}.
como nós escaparemos, se descuidarmos de tão grande salvação? Ela, que começou a ser anunciada pelo Senhor, foi-nos confirmada pelos que ouviram.
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.
Deus também deu testemunho com eles, por meio de sinais, milagres, várias maravilhas, e distribuições do Espírito Santo, segundo a sua vontade.
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.
Pois não foi aos anjos que ele sujeitou o mundo futuro, do qual estamos falando.
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]
Mas em certo lugar alguém testemunhou, dizendo: O que é o homem, para que te lembres dele? Ou o filho do homem, para que o visites?
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.
Tu o fizeste um pouco menor que os anjos, de glória e de honra o coroaste,
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.
Sujeitaste todas as coisas debaixo de seus pés. Pois ao lhe sujeitar todas as coisas, nada deixou que não fosse sujeito a ele; porém agora ainda não vemos todas as coisas sendo sujeitas a ele.
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].
Porém vemos coroado de glória e de honra, por causa do sofrimento de morte, aquele Jesus, que havia sido feito um pouco menor que os anjos, a fim de que, pela graça de Deus, experimentasse a morte por todos.
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.
Pois convinha a aquele, para quem e por quem são todas as coisas, que, quando trouxesse muitos filhos à glória, aperfeiçoasse por meio de aflições o Autor da salvação deles.
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].
Porque tanto o que santifica como os que são santificados, todos são provenientes de um; por isso ele não se envergonha de lhes chamar de irmãos,
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!
dizendo: Anunciarei o teu nome aos meus irmãos, cantarei louvores a ti no meio da congregação.
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.
E outra vez: Nele confiarei. E outra vez: Eis-me aqui, com os filhos que Deus me deu.
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.
Portanto, uma vez que os filhos compartilham do sangue e da carne, também ele, semelhantemente, participou das mesmas coisas, a fim de pela morte aniquilar ao que tinha o poder da morte, isto é, o diabo;
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.
e libertar a todos os que, por medo da morte, estavam sujeitos à servidão durante a vida toda.
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.
Pois, evidentemente, não é aos anjos que ele ajuda, mas sim, ajuda à descendência de Abraão.
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.
Por isso era necessário que em tudo ele se tornasse semelhante aos irmãos, para ser misericordioso e fiel Sumo Sacerdote nas coisas [relativas] a Deus, para fazer sacrifício de perdão dos pecados do povo.
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].
Pois, naquilo em que ele mesmo sofreu ao ser tentado, ele pode socorrer aos que são tentados.
