< Ndị Hibru 2 >
1 Ya mere, anyị aghaghị ilezi anya nke ọma banyere ihe anyị nụrụla, ka anyị hapụ isi na ha wezuga onwe anyị.
So we should pay even closer attention to what we've learned so we don't drift away from it.
2 Nʼihi na ọ bụrụ na ozi ahụ e ziri site na ndị mmụọ ozi dị ire, ọ bụrụkwa na njehie maọbụ nnupu isi ọbụla natara ahụhụ kwesiri ya.
If the message the angels brought was trustworthy, and every sin and disobedient act brings its own consequence,
3 Anyị ga-esi aṅaa gbanarị ntaramahụhụ ma ọ bụrụ na anyị eleghara oke nzọpụta ahụ anya? Ọ bụ Onyenwe anyị kwupụtara ya, bụkwa nke ndị nụrụ ya gbaara anyị ama banyere ya.
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 Chineke nʼonwe ya tụkwasịrị ịgba ama nke ya, site nʼịrụ ọrụ ebube na ọrụ ịrịbama, na ọrụ ịtụnanya dị iche iche, nakwa ikesa ọtụtụ onyinye nke Mmụọ Nsọ, dị ka ọchịchọ ya siri dị.
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 Ọ dịghị mgbe Chineke nyere ndị mmụọ ozi ike ịchị elu ụwa a. Anyị na-ekwu banyere ụwa gaje ịbịa abịa.
It's not angels who will be in charge of the world to come that we're talking about.
6 Otu onye agbaala akaebe nʼebe ọzọ, “Gịnị ka mmadụ bụ i ji na-eche banyere ha? Gịnị ka nwa nke mmadụ bụ iji na-elekọta ya?
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 Nʼihi na i mere ka ha dị ala nwantakịrị nʼebe ndị mmụọ ozi nọ; i jikwa ebube na nsọpụrụ kpube ya nʼisi dịka okpueze,
You set him a little lower than the angels; you crowned him with glory and honor, and placed him over all your creation.
8 dokwaa ihe niile nʼokpuru ụkwụ ya.” Mgbe o mere ka ihe niile dịrị nʼokpuru ya, o nwekwaghị ihe ọbụla ọ hapụrụ itinye nʼokpuru ya. Ma otu ọ dị, anyị ahụbeghị ka e doro ihe niile nʼokpuru ya.
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 Ma anyị na-ahụ Jisọs bụ onye e mere ka ọ dị ala nwantakịrị oge karịa ndị mmụọ ozi, ma ugbu a ejirila ebube na nsọpụrụ kpukwasị ya nʼisi, nʼihi ahụhụ ọnwụ nke ọ hụrụ, ka o site nʼamara Chineke detụ ọnwụ ire nʼihi mmadụ niile.
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 Ebe e sitere na ya kpọbata ọtụtụ ụmụ nʼebube, o ziri ezi ka Chineke, onye ihe niile dịrị na onye kere ihe niile, mee ka onyeisi nzọpụta ha bụrụ onye zuruoke site nʼahụhụ ọ hụrụ.
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 Onye ahụ na-eme mmadụ ka ọ dị nsọ, na ndị ahụ e mere ka ha dị nsọ si nʼotu ezinaụlọ. Nʼihi ya, ihere adịghị eme ya ịkpọ ha ụmụnna ya.
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 Ọ sịrị, “Aga m ekwupụta aha gị nye ụmụnna m, nʼetiti nzukọ ka m ga-anọ bụọrọ gị abụ otuto.”
saying “I will announce your name to my brothers; I will praise you among your people when they meet together.”
13 Ọzọkwa, “Aga m atụkwasị obi m na ya.” Ọzọkwa, ọ sịrị, “Lee mụ onwe m, na ụmụ ndị Chineke nyere m.”
Also: “I will place my trust in him,” and “Here I am, together with the children God has given to me.”
14 Ebe ọ bụ na ụmụ ndị ahụ ketara oke na anụ ahụ na ọbara, ya onwe ya sooro ha keta oke nʼụdịdị ahụ, ka o site nʼọnwụ ya laa onye ahụ nwere ike ọnwụ nʼiyi, onye ahụ bụ ekwensu.
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 Ma tọpụ ndị ahụ niile egwu nke ọnwụ mere ka ha bụrụ ohu na ndụ ha niile.
and free everyone who through fear of death were enslaved all their lives.
16 Nʼihi na nʼezie, ọ bụghị ndị mmụọ ozi ka ọ na-enyere aka kama ọ bụ ụmụ ụmụ Ebraham.
Of course it's not angels he's concerned about; he's concerned to help the children of Abraham.
17 Nʼihi nke a, e mere ka o yie ụmụnna ya nʼihe niile, ka o nwe ike ghọọ onyeisi nchụaja kwesiri ntụkwasị obi ma na nke nwere obi ebere nʼijere Chineke ozi, ka o nweekwa ike chụọ aja ikpuchi mmehie mmadụ niile.
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 Ebe ọ bụ na ya onwe ya tara ahụhụ mgbe a na-anwa ya ọnwụnwa, o nwekwara ike inyere ndị a na-anwa ọnwụnwa aka.
Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are tempted.
