Προς Εβραιους 2

1 δια τουτο δει περισσοτερωσ ημασ προσεχειν τοισ ακουσθεισιν μηποτε παραρρυωμεν

(On this account, we ought to attend the more earnestly to the things which were heard; lest at any time we should left them slip.

2 ει γαρ ο δι αγγελων λαληθεισ λογοσ εγενετο βεβαιοσ και πασα παραβασισ και παρακοη ελαβεν ενδικον μισθαποδοσιαν

For if the word spoken by angels was firm, and every transgression and disobedience received a just retribution;

3 πωσ ημεισ εκφευξομεθα τηλικαυτησ αμελησαντεσ σωτηριασ ητισ αρχην λαβουσα λαλεισθαι δια του κυριου υπο των ακουσαντων εισ ημασ εβεβαιωθη

how shall we escape if we neglect so great salvation? which, beginning to be spoken by the Lord, was confirmed to us by them who heard him;

4 συνεπιμαρτυρουντοσ του θεου σημειοισ τε και τερασιν και ποικιλαισ δυναμεσιν και πνευματοσ αγιου μερισμοισ κατα την αυτου θελησιν

God, also, bearing witness, both by signs and wonders, and divers miracles, and distributions of the Holy Spirit, according to his own pleasure.)

5 ου γαρ αγγελοισ υπεταξεν την οικουμενην την μελλουσαν περι ησ λαλουμεν

Moreover, he has not subjected to the angels the world to come, of which we are speaking.

6 διεμαρτυρατο δε που τισ λεγων τι εστιν ανθρωποσ οτι μιμνησκη αυτου η υιοσ ανθρωπου οτι επισκεπτη αυτον

But one in a certain place has testified, saying, "What is man that thou art mindful of him--or the son of man, that thou dost regard him?

7 ηλαττωσασ αυτον βραχυ τι παρ αγγελουσ δοξη και τιμη εστεφανωσασ αυτον

Thou hast made him a little lower than the angels; thou hast crowned him with glory and honor,

8 παντα υπεταξασ υποκατω των ποδων αυτου εν γαρ τω υποταξαι αυτω τα παντα ουδεν αφηκεν αυτω ανυποτακτον νυν δε ουπω ορωμεν αυτω τα παντα υποτεταγμενα

thou hast put all things under his feet." Now, by putting all things in subjection to him, he left nothing that is not subject to him; but now, we do not yet see all things subjected to him;

9 τον δε βραχυ τι παρ αγγελουσ ηλαττωμενον βλεπομεν ιησουν δια το παθημα του θανατου δοξη και τιμη εστεφανωμενον οπωσ χαριτι θεου υπερ παντοσ γευσηται θανατου

but we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, that he, by the favor of God, might taste death for all; for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honor!

10 επρεπεν γαρ αυτω δι ον τα παντα και δι ου τα παντα πολλουσ υιουσ εισ δοξαν αγαγοντα τον αρχηγον τησ σωτηριασ αυτων δια παθηματων τελειωσαι

For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, to make him, who leads many sons to glory--even the Captain of their Salvation--perfect through sufferings.

11 ο τε γαρ αγιαζων και οι αγιαζομενοι εξ ενοσ παντεσ δι ην αιτιαν ουκ επαισχυνεται αδελφουσ αυτουσ καλειν

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

12 λεγων απαγγελω το ονομα σου τοισ αδελφοισ μου εν μεσω εκκλησιασ υμνησω σε

saying, "I will announce thy name to my brethren: in the midst of the congregation I will sing praises to thee."

13 και παλιν εγω εσομαι πεποιθωσ επ αυτω και παλιν ιδου εγω και τα παιδια α μοι εδωκεν ο θεοσ

And, again, "I will put my trust in him." And again, "Behold I, and the children whom God has given me."

14 επει ουν τα παιδια κεκοινωνηκεν σαρκοσ και αιματοσ και αυτοσ παραπλησιωσ μετεσχεν των αυτων ινα δια του θανατου καταργηση τον το κρατοσ εχοντα του θανατου τουτ εστιν τον διαβολον

Since, then, the children partook of flesh and blood; he, also, in like manner, partook of these; that, through death, he might vanquish him who had the power of death, that is, the devil;

15 και απαλλαξη τουτουσ οσοι φοβω θανατου δια παντοσ του ζην ενοχοι ησαν δουλειασ

and deliver them, who, through fear of death, were all their lifetime subject to bondage.

16 ου γαρ δηπου αγγελων επιλαμβανεται αλλα σπερματοσ αβρααμ επιλαμβανεται

For, indeed, he has not at all assumed the nature of angels; but he has assumed the seed of Abraham.

17 οθεν ωφειλεν κατα παντα τοισ αδελφοισ ομοιωθηναι ινα ελεημων γενηται και πιστοσ αρχιερευσ τα προσ τον θεον εισ το ιλασκεσθαι τασ αμαρτιασ του λαου

Hence, it was necessary for him to be made like his brethren in all things; that he might be a merciful and faithful High Priest, in matters pertaining to God, in order to expiate the sins of the people;

18 εν ω γαρ πεπονθεν αυτοσ πειρασθεισ δυναται τοισ πειραζομενοισ βοηθησαι

for, by what he suffered himself, when tried; he is able to succor them who are tried.
