Hebritɔwo 2

1 Esia ta ele na mi be miaɖo to nyateƒenya siwo katã miese la nyuie, ne menye nenema o la, miate ɖa xaa tso nyateƒe la gbɔ.

For this reason, it is necessary for us to observe more thoroughly the things that we have heard, lest we let them slip away.

2 Ne gbedeasi si mawudɔlawo gblɔ la nye nyateƒe, eye edzidalawo kple ame siwo meɖo toe o la xɔ tohehe si wodze na la,

For if a word that was spoken through the Angels has been made firm, and every transgression and disobedience has received the recompense of a just retribution,

3 aleke míawo ya míawɔ asi le enu ne míegbe toɖoɖo ɖeɖenya gã sia? Ɖeɖe sia si Aƒetɔ la ŋutɔ ɖe gbeƒãe zi gbãtɔ la woɖo kpe edzi na mi to ame siwo ɖo toe la dzi.

in what way might we escape, if we neglect such a great salvation? For though initially it had begun to be described by the Lord, it was confirmed among us by those who heard him,

4 Mawu ŋutɔ hã ɖo kpe woƒe ɖaseɖiɖi dzi to dzesiwo, nukunuwo kple nukudɔ vovovowo dzi, eye wòna Gbɔgbɔ Kɔkɔe la ƒe nunana amewo le ale si wòlɔ̃ nu.

with God testifying to it by signs and wonders, and by various miracles, and by the pouring out of the Holy Spirit, in accord with his own will.

5 Mawu metsɔ mawudɔlawo ɖo dziɖulawoe na xexeme si ava va esi ŋuti míele nu ƒom le o.

For God did not subject the future world, about which we are speaking, to the Angels.

6 Ke ame aɖe gblɔ le Psalmowo ƒe agbalẽ me be, “Nu kae nye amegbetɔ be nèbua eŋuti, eye nu kae nye Amegbetɔ Vi be nèléa be nɛ?

But someone, in a certain place, has testified, saying: “What is man, that you are mindful of him, or the Son of man, that you visit him?

7 Èwɔ wo wobɔbɔ ɖe anyi vie wu mawudɔlawo, ètsɔ ŋutikɔkɔe kple bubu ɖɔ nɛ abe fiakuku ene,

You have reduced him to a little less than the Angels. You have crowned him with glory and honor, and you have set him over the works of your hands.

8 eye nètsɔ nu sia nu de eƒe afɔ te.” Esi Mawu tsɔ nu sia nu de eƒe dzikpɔkpɔ te la, meɖe naneke le eme o. Gake fifi laa la, medze abe nu sia nu le eƒe dzikpɔkpɔ te ene o.

You have subjected all things under his feet.” For in as much as he has subjected all things to him, he has left nothing not subject to him. But in the present time, we do not yet perceive that all things have been made subject to him.

9 Míekpɔ Yesu, ame si wowɔ wòɖiɖi vie wu mawudɔlawo, ke fifia la, woɖɔ bubu kple ŋutikɔkɔe ƒe fiakuku nɛ, elabena ekpe fu yi ɖe ku me ale be to Mawu ƒe amenuveve me wòaxɔ ku ɖe ame sia ame nu.

Yet we understand that Jesus, who was reduced to a little less than the Angels, was crowned with glory and honor because of his Passion and death, in order that, by the grace of God, he might taste death for all.

10 Ɖeko wòle eteƒe be Mawu, ame si wɔ nuwo katã, eye wòlé nuwo katã ɖe te la nawɔ Yesu blibo to fukpekpe me be wòakplɔ viŋutsu geɖewo vɛ woakpɔ gome le eƒe ŋutikɔkɔe me, elabena Yesue kplɔ wo yi ɖeɖe la gbɔe.

For it was fitting for him, because of whom and through whom all things exist, who had led many children into glory, to complete the authorship of their salvation through his Passion.

11 Ame si wɔa amewo kɔkɔe kple ame siwo wowɔ kɔkɔe la katã nye ƒome ɖeka me nɔlawo. Eya ta mekpe ŋu na Yesu be wòayɔ wo be ye nɔviwo o.

For he who sanctifies, and those who are sanctified, are all from One. For this reason, he is not ashamed to call them brothers, saying:

12 Egblɔ be, “Maɖe gbeƒã wò ŋkɔ na nɔvinyewo, madzi wò kafukafuhawo le ameha la ŋkume.”

“I will announce your name to my brothers. In the midst of the Church, I will praise you.”

13 Egagblɔ be, “Maɖo dzi ɖe Mawu ŋu.” Eye wògagblɔ be, “Nye kple vi siwo Mawu nam la míele afii.”

And again: “I will be faithful in him.” And again: “Behold, I and my children, whom God has given to me.”

14 Esi ɖeviawo nye ŋutilã kple ʋu ta la, eya hã kpɔ gome le woƒe amenyenye me, ale be to eƒe ku me wòatsrɔ̃ ame si si ku ƒe ŋusẽ le, ame si nye Abosam,

Therefore, because children have a common flesh and blood, he himself also, in like manner, has shared in the same, so that through death, he might destroy him who held the dominion of death, that is, the devil,

15 eye wòɖe ga ame siwo zu kluviwo to vɔvɔ̃ na ku me le woƒe agbemeŋkekewo katã me.

and so that he might free those who, through the fear of death, had been condemned to servitude throughout their entire life.

16 Le nyateƒe me la, menye mawudɔlawo ŋue wòkpe ɖo o, ke boŋ ekpe ɖe Abraham ƒe dzidzimeviwo ŋu.

For at no time did he take hold of the Angels, but instead he took hold of the offspring of Abraham.

17 Le susu sia ta wòle be woawɔe wòanɔ abe nɔviawo ene le go sia go me, ale be wòava zu nunɔlagã, nublanuikpɔla kple nuteƒewɔla le Mawu ƒe dɔ me, eye be wòaxe fe ɖe amewo ƒe nu vɔ̃wo ta.

Therefore, it is fitting for him to be made similar to his brothers in all things, so that he might become a merciful and faithful High Priest before God, in order that he might bring forgiveness to the offenses of the people.

18 Esi wònye be eya ŋutɔ kpe fu to tetekpɔ me ta la, ete ŋu kpe ɖe ame siwo tem wole kpɔ la ŋu.

For in as much as he himself has suffered and has been tempted, he also is able to assist those who are tempted.
