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.
Тим подобає нам більше вважати на те, що чували, щоб инодї не відпасти.
2 For if the message delivered through angels proved to be true, and every transgression and act of disobedience met with just retribution,
Бо коли промовлене ангелам слово було певне, і всякий переступ і непослух прийняв праведну відплату,
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,
то як нам утекти, що недбали про таке велике спасеннє? котре, почавши проповідувати ся через Господа, від тих що чули, нам стверджене,
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.
як сьвідкував Бог ознаками і чудесами, і всякими силами, і роздаваннєм Духа сьвятого, по своїй волї.
5 It is not to angels that God has assigned the sovereignty of that coming world, of which we speak.
Не ангелам бо покорив вселенну грядущу, про котру глаголемо;
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!
засьвідкував же хтось десь, глаголючи: Що таке чоловік, що памятаєш його, або син чоловічий, що одвідуєш його?
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.
Умалив єси його малим чим од ангелів; славою і честю вінчав єси його, і поставив єси його над ділами рук Твоїх;
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.
все покорив єси під ноги його. А впокоривши йому все, нїчого не зоставив невпокореним йому. Тепер же ще не бачимо, щоб усе було йому впокорене,
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.
а бачимо Ісуса, малим чим умаленого від ангелів, за муку смерти увінчаного славою й честю, щоб благодаттю Божою за всіх пожив смерти.
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.
Подобало бо Тому, про кого все і ким усе, що привів многих синів у славу, починателя спасення їх страданнями звершити.
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;
Бо й хто осьвячуе і хто осьвячуеть ся, від Одного всї; з сієї то причини не соромить ся братами звати їх,
12 as when He says: "I will proclaim Thy name to My brothers: in the midst of the congregation I will hymn Thy praises;"
глаголючи: Звїщу імя Твоє браттю моєму, посеред церкви сьшвати му хвалу Тобі.
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."
І знов: Надїяти мусь на Него. І знов: Ось я і дїти, що дав мені Бог.
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,
Коли ж дїти стали ся спільниками тїла і кровя, і Він так само спільником їх, щоб смертю знищити того, що має державу смерти, се єсть диявола,
15 and might set at liberty all those who through fear of death had been subject to lifelong slavery.
і визволити тих, що з страху смерти через усе життв підневолені були рабству.
16 For assuredly it is not to angels that He is continually reaching a helping hand, but it is to the descendants of Abraham.
Справді бо не ангелів приймав, а насіннє Авраамове приймав.
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.
Звідсіля мусів у всьому подобитись братам, щоб бути милосердним і вірним архиєреєм у Божому, щоб очистити гріхи людові.
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.
У чому бо сам пострадав, спокушуваний бувши, може і тим, що спокущують ся, помогти.
