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.

Therefore we ought to pay greater attention to the things that were heard, so that we will not drift 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 the word spoken through angels proved steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense;

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 will we escape if we neglect so great a salvation—which at the first having been spoken through the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard;

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 also testifying with them, both by signs and wonders, by various works of power, and by gifts of the Holy Spirit, 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 did not subject the world to come, of which we speak, to 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 has somewhere testified, saying, "What is man, that you think of him? Or the son of man, that you care for him?

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

You made him a little lower than the angels. You crowned him with glory and honor.

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 put all things under his feet." For in that he put all things under him, he left nothing that is not under him. But now we do not yet see that all things are under 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 him who has been made a little lower than the angels, Jesus, because of the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that by the grace of God he should taste of death for everyone.

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 through whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to make the author of their salvation perfect through 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 who sanctifies and those who are sanctified are all from one, for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brothers,

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

saying, "I will declare your name to my brothers. In the midst of the assembly 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 put my trust in him." And again, "Look, here I am, and the children God has 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,

Since then the children have shared in flesh and blood, he also himself in like manner partook of the same, that through death he might bring to nothing him who had 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 might deliver all of them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.

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

For, truly, he did not come to help the angels, but to help 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 he was obligated in all things to be made like his brothers, that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make atonement 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 in that he himself has suffered being tempted, he is able to help those who are tempted.
