< 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 are obligated to be more exceedingly heedful in what we have heard, that we fall not.
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 which was uttered by angels was confirmed, and every one who heard it, and transgressed against it, received 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.
how shall we escape if we despise those (words) which themselves are our salvation? Those which began by our Lord to be spoken, and by them who from him heard them in us were confirmed,
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.
when Aloha witnessed concerning them by signs, and by miracles, and by various powers, and by distributed gifts of the Spirit of Holiness, that were bestowed according to his will.
5 Mawu metsɔ mawudɔlawo ɖo dziɖulawoe na xexeme si ava va esi ŋuti míele nu ƒom le o.
For it was not to the angels he subjected the world which is future, of which we discourse.
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, as the scripture testifieth and saith, What is man, that thou rememberedst him, and the Son of man, that thou didst visit him?
7 Èwɔ wo wobɔbɔ ɖe anyi vie wu mawudɔlawo, ètsɔ ŋutikɔkɔe kple bubu ɖɔ nɛ abe fiakuku ene,
Thou didst humble him (to be) less than the angels; glory and honour hast thou placed upon his head, and hast empowered him over the work 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.
and every thing hast thou put in subjection under his feet. in this, that he subjected every thing to him, he hath left nothing which he hath not subjected. Yet hitherto we see not that every thing is 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 him who was humbled to be less than the angels, we see to be JESHU himself, for the sake of the passion of his death; and glory and honour set upon his head; for He Aloha, in his grace, for every man hath tasted death!
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 proper to him by whose hand are all, and on account of whom all are, (and who) would lead many sons to his glory, that the Prince of their salvation by sufferings should be perfected.
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 sanctified, and they who are sanctified, are all from one: wherefore he has not been ashamed to call them his brethren.
12 Egblɔ be, “Maɖe gbeƒã wò ŋkɔ na nɔvinyewo, madzi wò kafukafuhawo le ameha la ŋkume.”
(As) when he saith, I will announce thy name unto my brethren, and in the midst of the church I will praise 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 put my confidence in him. And again, Behold me, and the sons whom thou hast given me, Aloha.
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,
Forasmuch as the sons have been made to participate in flesh and blood, he also likewise was made a partaker of these very things; that by his death he might abolish him who held the power of death, who is Satana,
15 eye wòɖe ga ame siwo zu kluviwo to vɔvɔ̃ na ku me le woƒe agbemeŋkekewo katã me.
and set loose them who in the fear of death had been all their lives subjected to servitude.
16 Le nyateƒe me la, menye mawudɔlawo ŋue wòkpe ɖo o, ke boŋ ekpe ɖe Abraham ƒe dzidzimeviwo ŋu.
For not from the angels he took, but from the seed of Abraham he took.
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 was right that in every thing he should be rendered like unto his brethren, that he might be compassionate, and a High Priest faithful in to Aloha, and become an expiation 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 this, that he hath suffered and been tempted, he is able to help those who are tempted.
