< Ahibirania 2 >

1 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, nĩtwagĩrĩirwo kũrũmbũiya mũno ũhoro ũrĩa twanaigua, nĩguo tũtikae gũtũgũgio tweherio kuuma harĩ guo.
So we should pay even closer attention to what we've learned so we don't drift away from it.
2 Tondũ-rĩ, angĩkorwo ũhoro ũrĩa waririo nĩ araika warĩ mũrũmu-rĩ, na mũndũ o wothe wareganaga na ũhoro ũcio na akaũremera nĩaherithagio o ũrĩa kwagĩrĩire-rĩ,
If the message the angels brought was trustworthy, and every sin and disobedient act brings its own consequence,
3 tũngĩkĩaga atĩa kũherithio tũngĩnyarara ũhonokio mũnene ũũ? Ũhonokio ũyũ, ũrĩa waambire kũhunjio nĩ Mwathani, nĩwacookire gwĩkĩrwo hinya kũrĩ ithuĩ nĩ andũ arĩa maamũiguire.
how will we escape if we don't pay attention to this great salvation that the Lord first announced, and then we had confirmed to us by those who heard him.
4 Ningĩ Ngai agĩĩkĩra ũhoro ũyũ ũira atĩ nĩ wa ma na ũndũ wa kuonania marũũri na morirũ, o na kũringa ciama cia mĩthemba mĩingĩ, na akĩheana iheo cia Roho Mũtheru kũrĩ andũ kũringana na wendi wake.
God also testified through signs and miracles, by acts that show his power, and by the gifts of the Holy Spirit, given as he chose.
5 Thĩ ĩrĩa tũkwaria ũhoro wayo, araika tio maaheetwo wathani wayo.
It's not angels who will be in charge of the world to come that we're talking about.
6 No nĩ harĩ mũndũ mũna ũheanĩte ũira handũ hamwe akoiga atĩrĩ: “Mũndũ akĩrĩ kĩ tondũ ũikaraga ũkĩmwĩciiragia, nake mũrũ wa mũndũ akĩrĩ kĩ atĩ nĩkĩo ũmũmenyagĩrĩra?
But as it's been said, “What are human beings that you should worry about them? What is a son of man that you should care about him?
7 Watũmire atigie o hanini aiganane na araika, na ũkĩmũhumba thũmbĩ ya riiri o na gĩtĩĩo,
You set him a little lower than the angels; you crowned him with glory and honor, and placed him over all your creation.
8 na ũkĩiga indo ciothe rungu rwa magũrũ make aciathage.” Nake akĩiga indo ciothe rungu rwa mũndũ-rĩ, hatirĩ kĩndũ o na kĩrĩkũ Ngai aatigire gĩtarĩ watho-inĩ wa mũndũ. No rĩu tũtionaga indo ciothe irĩ watho-inĩ wa mũndũ.
You gave him authority over everything.” Nothing was left out when God gave him authority over everything. However, we see that not everything is subject to his authority yet.
9 No tuonaga Jesũ, ũrĩa gwa kahinda kanini watuĩtwo mũnini gũkĩra araika, no rĩu ekĩrĩtwo thũmbĩ ya riiri na ya gĩtĩĩo nĩ tondũ nĩanyariirĩkire na agĩkua, nĩgeetha, nĩ ũndũ wa Wega wa Ngai atuĩke wa gũcama gĩkuũ handũ ha andũ othe.
But we see Jesus, placed a little lower than the angels, through the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor. Through God's grace Jesus experienced death for everyone.
10 Nĩgũkorwo nĩ kwagĩrĩire atĩ Ngai, ũrĩa wombire indo ciothe na itũũraga nĩ ũndũ wake-rĩ, atũme mwambĩrĩria wa ũhonokio wao aagĩrĩre kũna kũna na ũndũ wa kũnyamario nĩguo arehe ciana nyingĩ riiri-inĩ wake.
It was appropriate that God, who creates and maintains everything, should bring many of his children to glory, and to completely prepare through suffering the one who leads them to salvation.
11 Jesũ ũrĩa ũtũmaga andũ matuĩke atheru, o hamwe na acio matuĩtwo atheru, othe matuĩkaga andũ a nyũmba ĩmwe. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jesũ ndaconokaga akĩmeeta ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe.
For both the one who makes people holy and those who are made holy belong to the same family. That's why he doesn't hesitate to call them “brothers,”
12 Akoiga atĩrĩ, “Nĩngoimbũra rĩĩtwa rĩaku kũrĩ ariũ na aarĩ a Baba; nĩngainaga nyĩmbo cia gũkũgooca ndĩ kĩũngano-inĩ.”
saying “I will announce your name to my brothers; I will praise you among your people when they meet together.”
13 Ningĩ akoiga atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ngũiga mwĩhoko wakwa harĩ Ngai.” O na ningĩ akoiga atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ũyũ haha, na ciana iria Ngai aaheete.”
Also: “I will place my trust in him,” and “Here I am, together with the children God has given to me.”
14 Kuona atĩ ciana icio irĩ na mwĩrĩ na thakame-rĩ, we o nake aatuĩkire o tao mwĩrĩ-inĩ, nĩgeetha na ũndũ wa gĩkuũ gĩake ahote kwananga ũrĩa ũrĩ na hinya wa gĩkuũ, nake nĩwe mũcukani,
Because the children share flesh and blood in common, he shared in this in the same way so that through death he could destroy the one that had the power of death—the devil—
15 na ohore arĩa matũire mohetwo ũkombo-inĩ matukũ mao mothe nĩ ũndũ wa gwĩtigĩra gĩkuũ.
and free everyone who through fear of death were enslaved all their lives.
16 Nĩgũkorwo ti-itherũ ti araika ateithagia, no ateithagia rũciaro rwa Iburahĩmu.
Of course it's not angels he's concerned about; he's concerned to help the children of Abraham.
17 Na nĩ ũndũ ũcio no nginya angĩahaananirio na ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe maũndũ-inĩ mothe, nĩguo atuĩke mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũrĩa mũnene ũiyũrĩtwo nĩ tha na mwĩhokeku agĩtungatĩra Ngai, na nĩguo arute horohio nĩ ũndũ wa mehia ma kĩrĩndĩ.
That's why it was necessary for him to become like his brothers in everything, so that he could become a merciful and trustworthy high priest in the things of God, to forgive his people's sins.
18 Nĩgũkorwo we mwene nĩathĩĩnĩkire rĩrĩa aageragio-rĩ, nĩahotaga gũteithia andũ arĩa mageragio.
Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are tempted.
