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].
Nítorí náà, ó yẹ kí àwa máa fi iyè sí àwọn nǹkan wọ̀n-ọn-nì gidigidi tí àwa ti gbọ́, kí a má ba à gbá wa lọ kúrò nínú wọn nígbà kan.
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.
Nítorí bí ọ̀rọ̀ tí a tí ẹnu àwọn angẹli sọ bá sì dúró ṣinṣin, àti tí olúkúlùkù ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ sí òfin àti àìgbọ́ràn gba ìjìyà tí ó tọ́ sí i,
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}.
kín ni ohun náà tí ó mú wa lérò pé a lè bọ́ kúrò nínú ìjìyà bí a kò bá náání ìgbàlà ńlá yìí? Ìgbàlà tí Olúwa fúnra rẹ̀ kọ́kọ́ kéde, èyí tí a sì fi ìdí rẹ̀ múlẹ̀ fún wa láti ọwọ́ àwọn tí ó gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ náà lẹ́nu rẹ̀.
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.
Ọlọ́run jẹ́rìí sí i nípa àwọn iṣẹ́ àmì àti ìyanu àti oríṣìíríṣìí iṣẹ́ agbára àti nípa ẹ̀bùn Ẹ̀mí Mímọ́ tí a pín gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìfẹ́ rẹ̀.
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.
Nítorí pé, kì í ṣe abẹ́ ìṣàkóso àwọn angẹli ni ó fi ayé tí ń bọ̀, tí àwa ń sọ̀rọ̀ rẹ̀ sí.
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]
Ṣùgbọ́n ibìkan wà tí ẹnìkan tí jẹ́rìí pé “Kí ni ènìyàn tí ìwọ fi ń ṣe ìrántí rẹ̀, tàbí ọmọ ènìyàn, tí ìwọ fi ń bẹ̀ ẹ́ wò?
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.
Ìwọ dá a ní onírẹ̀lẹ̀ díẹ̀ ju àwọn angẹli lọ; ìwọ fi ògo àti ọlá de e ni adé, ìwọ sì fi í jẹ olórí iṣẹ́ ọwọ́ rẹ,
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.
Ìwọ fi ohun gbogbo sábẹ́ ẹsẹ̀ rẹ̀.” Ní ti fífi ohun gbogbo sábẹ́ rẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n àwa kò ì tí ì rí ohun kan tí ó kù tí kò sí ní abẹ́ àkóso rẹ̀. Síbẹ̀ nísinsin yìí àwa kò ì tí ì rí pé ó fi ohun gbogbo sábẹ́ ìṣàkóso rẹ̀.
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].
Ṣùgbọ́n àwa rí Jesu ẹni tí a rẹ̀ sílẹ̀ díẹ̀ ju àwọn angẹli lọ fún àkókò díẹ̀, àní Jesu, ẹni tí a fi ògo àti ọlá dé ní adé nítorí ìjìyà wa; kí ó lè tọ́ ikú wò fún olúkúlùkù ènìyàn nípa oore-ọ̀fẹ́ Ọlọ́run.
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.
Nítorí pé ó yẹ fún Ọlọ́run, nítorí nípasẹ̀ ẹni tí ohun gbogbo ṣẹ̀ wà, láti mú àwọn ọmọ púpọ̀ wá sínú ògo, láti ṣe balógun ìgbàlà wọn ni àṣepé nípa ìjìyà.
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].
Nítorí àti ẹni tí ń sọ ni di mímọ́ àti àwọn tí a ń sọ di mímọ́, láti ọ̀dọ̀ ẹnìkan ṣoṣo ni gbogbo wọn ti wá, nítorí èyí ni kò ṣe tijú láti pè wọ́n ni arákùnrin.
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!
Àti wí pé, “Èmi ó sọ̀rọ̀ orúkọ rẹ̀ fún àwọn ará mi, ni àárín ìjọ ni èmi yóò kọrin ìyìn rẹ̀.”
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.
Àti pẹ̀lú, “Èmi yóò gbẹ́kẹ̀ mi lé e.” Àti pẹ̀lú, “Kíyèsi í, èmi rèé, èmi àti àwọn ọmọ tí Ọlọ́run fi fún mi.”
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.
Ǹjẹ́ ni ìwọ̀n bí àwọn ọmọ tí ṣe alábápín ará àti ẹ̀jẹ̀, bẹ́ẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ ni òun pẹ̀lú sì ṣe alábápín nínú ohun kan náà; kí ó lè ti ipa ikú rẹ̀ pa ẹni tí ó ní agbára ikú run, èyí ni èṣù.
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.
Kí o sì lè gba gbogbo àwọn tí ó tìtorí ìbẹ̀rù ikú wà lábẹ́ ìdè lọ́jọ́ ayé wọn gbogbo kúrò lọ́wọ́ ìbẹ̀rù.
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.
Nítorí pé, nítòótọ́, kì í ṣe àwọn angẹli ni ó ṣe ìrànlọ́wọ́ fún, ṣùgbọ́n àwọn irú-ọmọ Abrahamu ni ó ṣe ìrànlọ́wọ́ fún.
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.
Nítorí náà, ó yẹ pé nínú ohun gbogbo kí ó dàbí àwọn ará rẹ̀, kí ó lè jẹ́ aláàánú àti olóòtítọ́ alábojútó Àlùfáà nínú ohun tí i ṣe ti Ọlọ́run, kí o lè ṣe ètùtù fún ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ àwọn ènìyàn.
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].
Nítorí níwọ̀n bí òun tìkára rẹ̀ ti jìyà tí a sì ti dán an wò, òun ní agbára láti ran àwọn tí a ń dánwò lọ́wọ́.
