Ebre 2

1 Se poutèt sa, nou dwe kenbe verite yo te moutre nou yo pi fèm toujou pou nou pa pèdi chemen nou.

Therefore we ought to pay greater attention to the things that were heard, so that we will not drift away.

2 Pawòl zanj Bondye yo te anonse a te gen tout valè li. Se sa ki fè moun ki pa t' okipe pawòl la ak moun ki te dezobeyi l' yo te resevwa chatiman yo te merite a.

For if the word spoken through angels proved steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense;

3 Konsa tou, si nou menm nou meprize yon gwo delivrans tankou sa a, nanpwen chape pou nou. Premye moun ki te fè konnen delivrans sa a se Seyè a menm. Apre sa, moun ki te tande l' yo, se yo ki te fè nou konnen jan delivrans sa a gen anpil valè.

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 Anmenmtan an tou, Bondye te fè anpil siy, anpil bèl bagay ak anpil mirak pou fè wè sa moun sa yo t'ap di a se te vre. Li separe kado Sentespri a bay moun jan l' vle.

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 Bondye pa t' bay zanj li yo pouvwa sou anyen nan tan n'ap pale a, tan ki gen pou vini an.

For he did not subject the world to come, of which we speak, to angels.

6 Okontrè, jan yo ekri sa yon kote nan Liv la: Bondye o, kisa moun ye pou w'ap chonje yo konsa? Kisa moun ki fèt pou mouri yo ye menm pou w'ap pran ka yo konsa?

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 Ou fè yo yon ti jan pi ba pase zanj yo pou yon ti tan. Tankou yon kouwòn sou tèt yo, ou ba yo tout lwanj ak tout respè.

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

8 Ou mete tout bagay anba pye yo. Liv la di Bondye mete tout bagay anba pye lèzòm, sa vle di pa gen anyen ki pa sou zòd yo. Men, nou wè koulye a moun pa gen pouvwa sou tout bagay.

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 Okontre, lè nou gade Jezi, nou wè pou yon tan Bondye te mete l' pi ba pase zanj yo, pou l' te ka mouri pou tout moun, tankou yon favè Bondye t'ap fè yo. Koulye a, poutèt lanmò li te soufri a, Bondye ba li tout lwanj ak tout respè ki pou yon wa.

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 Se Bondye ki fè tout bagay, se Bondye k'ap kenbe tout bagay. Se tou nòmal pou l' te vle fè anpil nan pitit li yo resevwa pa yo nan bèl pouvwa li a. Se poutèt sa, li fè Jezi vin bon nèt avèk tout soufrans sa yo. Paske se Jezi ki chèf k'ap mennen yo nan chemen delivrans lan.

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 Ni moun ki netwaye lèzòm anba peche yo, ki vle di Jezi, ni lèzòm li netwaye yo, yo tout gen yon sèl papa. Se poutèt sa, Jezi pa wont rele yo frè,

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 jan l' te di sa nan Liv la: Bondye, m'a nonmen non ou bay frè m' yo. M'a fè lwanj ou lè yo tout reyini ansanm.

saying, "I will declare your name to my brothers. In the midst of the assembly I will praise you."

13 Li di ankò: M'a mete tout konfyans mwen nan Bondye. Apre sa, li di ankò: Men mwen ansanm ak tout pitit Bondye te ban mwen yo.

And again, "I will put my trust in him." And again, "Look, here I am, and the children God has given me."

14 Moun li rele pitit li yo, se moun ki gen yon kò ki fèt ak chè ak san. Jezi vin tankou yo tou, menm chè ak yo, menm san ak yo. Konsa, lè li mouri, li detwi Satan ki te gen pouvwa pou touye moun.

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 Li delivre tout moun ki pase tout lavi yo esklav paske yo te pè lanmò.

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

16 Sa se bagay ki klè: li pa t' vin pote sekou bay zanj Bondye yo. Jan sa ekri nan Liv la: Li vin pote sekou bay tout moun ras Abraram yo.

For, truly, he did not come to help the angels, but to help the offspring of Abraham.

17 Se konsa, li te fèt pou l' te vin tankou frè l' yo sou tout pwen, pou l' te ka sèvi yo tankou yon granprèt ki gen anpil pitye pou yo, k'ap fè sèvis li byen devan Bondye, pou ofrann li fè a ka fè Bondye padonnen peche tout pèp la.

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 Koulye a, li ka pote sekou bay tout moun ki anba tantasyon, paske li menm tou li te pase anba tantasyon, li menm tou li te soufri.

For in that he himself has suffered being tempted, he is able to help those who are tempted.
