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 we ought to attend more diligently to the things which have been heard, lest by any means we let them flow by us.

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 the discourse spoken by angels was confirmed, and every transgression and disobedience received a just punishment as its due,

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.

how shall we escape if we neglect so great salvation, which, commencing at the beginning to be spoken by the Lord, was confirmed unto us by those who had 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.

God superadding his testimony with them, by signs, and wonders, and various miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will?

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

For he hath not subjected the future world, of 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 one in a certain passage testifieth, saying, “What is man, that thou rememberest him, or a son of man, that thou regardest him?”

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

“Thou hast made him for a little while lower than angels, thou hast crowned him with glory and honour, and hast placed him over the works of thy 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.

thou hast subjected all things under his feet.” Now in subjecting all things to him, he left nothing unsubjected to him; but at present we see not yet all things subjected 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.

But we see Jesus for a little while made lower than angels, by the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour, that, by the grace of God, he might taste of death for every one.

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 became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to perfect the Author of their salvation by sufferings.

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 both he that sanctifies, and they who are sanctified, are all of one. For which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,

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

saying, “I will declare thy name to my brethren, in the midst of the church I will sing hymns to thee.”

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

And again, “I will place my confidence in him.” And again, “Behold! Here am I, and the children which God hath given 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,

Seeing therefore that the children have partaken of flesh and blood, he also himself, in exact resemblance, partook of the same, that by death he might destroy him who held the power 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 deliver those, even as many as through their whole life were subjects of bondage to the fear of death.

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

For he verily took not on him the angelic nature, but assumed that of the seed 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.

Wherefore he ought in all things to be made like to his brethren, in order to become a merciful and faithful high-priest in those things which relate to God, to make a propitiation for the sins 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 inasmuch as he hath himself suffered, having been tempted, he is able to succour those who are tempted.
