< 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.
Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let [them] slip.
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.
For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward;
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 shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that 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 bearing [them] witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will?
5 Ọ dịghị mgbe Chineke nyere ndị mmụọ ozi ike ịchị elu ụwa a. Anyị na-ekwu banyere ụwa gaje ịbịa abịa.
For unto the angels hath he not put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak.
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 one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man, that thou visitest 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,
Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands:
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.
Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing [that is] not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him.
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, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.
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.
For it became him, for whom [are] all things, and by whom [are] all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.
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 he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified [are] all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,
12 Ọ sịrị, “Aga m ekwupụta aha gị nye ụmụnna m, nʼetiti nzukọ ka m ga-anọ bụọrọ gị abụ otuto.”
Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee.
13 Ọzọkwa, “Aga m atụkwasị obi m na ya.” Ọzọkwa, ọ sịrị, “Lee mụ onwe m, na ụmụ ndị Chineke nyere m.”
And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which God hath given 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.
Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;
15 Ma tọpụ ndị ahụ niile egwu nke ọnwụ mere ka ha bụrụ ohu na ndụ ha niile.
And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.
16 Nʼihi na nʼezie, ọ bụghị ndị mmụọ ozi ka ọ na-enyere aka kama ọ bụ ụmụ ụmụ Ebraham.
For verily he took not on [him the nature of] angels; but he took on [him] the seed 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.
Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto [his] brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things [pertaining] to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.
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.
For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.
