Hebrews 2
1 For this reason we ought to pay the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, for fear we should drift away from them.
Portanto convem-nos attentar com mais diligencia para as coisas que já temos ouvido, para que em tempo algum nos venhamos a esquecer.
2 For if the message delivered through angels proved to be true, and every transgression and act of disobedience met with just retribution,
Porque, se a palavra pronunciada pelos anjos permaneceu firme, e toda a transgressão e desobediencia recebeu a justa retribuição,
3 how shall we escape if we are indifferent to a salvation as great as that now offered to us? This, after having first of all been announced by the Lord Himself, had its truth made sure to us by those who heard Him,
Como escaparemos nós, se não attentarmos para uma tão grande salvação, a qual, começando a ser annunciada pelo Senhor, foi-nos depois confirmada pelos que a ouviram;
4 while God corroborated their testimony by signs and marvels and various miracles, and by gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed in accordance with His own will.
Testificando tambem Deus com signaes, e milagres, e varias maravilhas e distribuições do Espirito Sancto segundo a sua vontade?
5 It is not to angels that God has assigned the sovereignty of that coming world, of which we speak.
Porque não sujeitou aos anjos o mundo futuro, de que agora fallamos.
6 But, as we know, a writer has solemnly said, "How poor a creature is man, and yet Thou dost remember him, and a son of man, and yet Thou dost come to him!
Porém em certo logar, testificou alguem, dizendo: Que é o homem, para que d'elle te lembres? ou o filho do homem, para que o visites?
7 Thou hast made him only a little inferior to the angels; with glory and honour Thou hast crowned him, and hast set him to govern the works of Thy hands.
Tu o fizeste um pouco menor do que os anjos; o coroaste de gloria e de honra, e o constituiste sobre as obras de tuas mãos:
8 Thou hast put everything in subjection under his feet." For this subjecting of the universe to man implies the leaving nothing not subject to him. But we do not as yet see the universe subject to him.
Todas as coisas lhe sujeitaste debaixo dos pés. Porque, visto que lhe sujeitou todas as coisas, nada deixou que lhe não fosse sujeito. Porém agora ainda não vemos que todas as coisas lhe estejam sujeitas;
9 But Jesus--who was made a little inferior to the angels in order that through God's grace He might taste death for every human being--we already see wearing a crown of glory and honour because of His having suffered death.
Porém vemos coroado de gloria e de honra aquelle Jesus que fôra feito um pouco menor do que os anjos, por causa da paixão da morte, para que, pela graça de Deus, provasse a morte por todos.
10 For it was fitting that He for whom, and through whom, all things exist, after He had brought many sons to glory, should perfect by suffering the Prince Leader who had saved them.
Porque convinha que aquelle, por cuja causa são todas as coisas, e mediante o qual todas as coisas existem, trazendo muitos filhos á gloria, consagrasse pelas afflicções o principe da salvação d'elles.
11 For both He who sanctifies and those whom He is sanctifying have all one Father; and for this reason He is not ashamed to speak of them as His brothers;
Porque, assim o que sanctifica, como os que são sanctificados, todos são de um; por cuja causa não se envergonha de lhes chamar irmãos,
12 as when He says: "I will proclaim Thy name to My brothers: in the midst of the congregation I will hymn Thy praises;"
Dizendo: Annunciarei o teu nome a meus irmãos, cantar-te-hei louvores no meio da congregação.
13 and again, "As for Me, I will be one whose trust reposes in God;" and again, "Here am I, and here are the children God has given Me."
E outra vez: Porei n'elle a minha confiança. E outra vez: Eis-me aqui a mim e aos filhos que Deus me deu.
14 Since then the children referred to are all alike sharers in perishable human nature, He Himself also, in the same way, took on Him a share of it, in order that through death He might render powerless him who had authority over death, that is, the Devil,
E, porquanto os filhos participam da carne e do sangue, tambem elle participou do mesmo, para que pela morte aniquilasse o que tinha o imperio da morte, isto é, o diabo:
15 and might set at liberty all those who through fear of death had been subject to lifelong slavery.
E livrasse todos os que, com medo da morte, estavam por toda a vida sujeitos á servidão,
16 For assuredly it is not to angels that He is continually reaching a helping hand, but it is to the descendants of Abraham.
Porque, na verdade, não tomou os anjos, mas tomou a descendencia de Abrahão.
17 And for this purpose it was necessary that in all respects He should be made to resemble His brothers, so that He might become a compassionate and faithful High Priest in things relating to God, in order to atone for the sins of the people.
Pelo que convinha que em tudo fosse similhante aos irmãos, para ser misericordioso e fiel summo sacerdote nas coisas que são para com Deus, para expiar os peccados do povo.
18 For inasmuch as He has Himself felt the pain of temptation and trial, He is also able instantly to help those who are tempted and tried.
Porque n'aquillo que elle mesmo, sendo tentado, padeceu, pode soccorrer aos que são tentados.
