Uibraniyawa 2
1 Barki anime ca tinya muruba muru vat atimume sa takunna, bati kati aharin duru intini.
So, [since that is true], we must pay very careful attention to what we have heard [about God’s Son], in order that we do not drift away from it, [as a boat drifts off its course when people do not guide it] [MET].
2 Ingi kadurame sa ibe ika dura ka Asere ya buki ka rizi, kondi uya uhangirka utize nan uzatu kunna utize, ucobo wa Asere une uni Ukalumme.
[God’s laws that] were given by angels were valid, and God justly punished all who rejected them and all who disobeyed [DOU] them.
3 Tidi wu aveni tihangirka ingi tagunduru ubura ugeme.
So, we will certainly not escape [God punishing us] if we ignore such a great [message about how God] [MTY] saves us! [RHQ] This [new message] was first spoken by the Lord [Jesus] {The Lord [Jesus] first spoke this [message]}. Then it was confirmed to us by those who heard [what the Lord told them] {those who heard [what the Lord told them] confirmed it to us}.
4 Asere aka kuri arussi unu bata nan imum ibiyau nan timum sassas tibiyau, nan nu hara ubi Bee bilan ba Asere ga U'ira ume.
God also confirmed to us [that this message was true] by [enabling believers to do] many things that showed God’s power, to do other miraculous things [DOU], and [to do other things] by the gifts that the Holy Spirit distributed to them according to what [God] desired.
5 Inzo barki Ibe ika dura ka Asere Kani Asere awu tigomo tunee ugeme sa u'eze ba.
God has determined that the angels will not rule over everything. [Instead, he has determined that Christ] will rule in the new world that [God] will [create]. [That is the new world] about which I am writing.
6 Barki anime uye ma bezi a'ara hira, unu guna “Unuu nyanini, sa udi ringinme? Nan vana unuu, sa udi tarsinme?
Someone spoke to [God about this] somewhere [in the Scriptures], saying, (No one is worthy enough for you to think about him!/Who is [worthy enough] for you to think about him?) [RHQ] (No human is [worthy enough] for you to care for him!/Is any human [worthy enough] for you to care for him?) [RHQ]
7 Wa bari ibe ika Asere inna za unubui wa wume gongon nan gbardang. Wa tara me aseseri atimum tunee.
[So it is surprising that] you have caused people to be for a little while inferior in rank to angels. You have greatly honored [DOU] them [MET], as [kings are honored with] a crown.
8 Vat timumme sa wa bara wa nya anyimo atibuna tume. Barki Asere anya timum vat atari tumme. Daki ma ceki ire imum inzo atari tume ba.
You have put everything under people’s control [MET]. God has determined that people will rule over absolutely everything [LIT]. But now, at this present time, we perceive that people do not yet have authority over everything.
9 Aku ganiyu cingilin ta ira de sa ma siziki me ibe ikadura ka Asere, memani Yeso, barki ijassi imeme nan ni wono abari me gongon nan nu bari. Aname barki ubura wa Asere mawi barki kondevi.
But we do know about Jesus, [who truly has authority over everything]! Hebrews 2:9b-13 Jesus, for a little while, became inferior [in rank] to angels in order to die on behalf of [MET] everyone. He became inferior when he suffered [and] died, as God kindly [planned]. But now he has been greatly [honored] [DOU] [by being] crowned [as kings are].
10 Barki sa yazi memmerum ahira Asere, bati kondi nyani icukuno barki me ahira ame, bati aburi ahan gbardang. Bati amassirka ubura uwe una ijassi.
It was fitting that [God] make [Jesus] (perfect/all that God intended him to be). God was enabling many people who would belong to him [MET] to share his glory. God [is the one who] created all things, and [he is the one] for whom all things [exist]. [He perfected Jesus] by causing him to suffer [and die]. [Jesus] is the one whom [God] uses to save people.
11 Unuu visa nan de sa avisa me vat nitin nuwe ni'inde nini. Barki anime mada kunname mu'i matitiwe anuu henu ba.
[Jesus] is the one who (makes people holy/sets people apart for God), and they all belong to God’s family. [As a result, Christ] gladly [LIT] proclaims them to be [like] his own brothers [and sisters].
12 Ma gu “Indi buu niza nuweme ahira anu henu um, Indi wuzi ire unonzo uwe atii awe.
[The Psalmist wrote what Christ said to God about us becoming] his brothers, in these words: I will proclaim to my brothers how awesome you are (OR, what you ([are like/have done])) [MTY]. I will sing praise to you in the presence of the congregation!
13 Indi kuri, “Ihem inme”. Indi kuri “Ira, mi be nan na huname sa Asere anyam.”
And a prophet wrote [in] another [Scripture passage what Christ said about God], I will trust him. And in another [Scripture passage, Christ said about those who are like his] children, I and the ones that God has given me are here.
14 Barki anime tunsa ahana Asere wa pata inama nan maye, Yeso cangi ma pata imum inde nan we bati ahira iwono ma hu de sa nikara niwono nira ahira ame, unuu ubur.
So, since those [whom God calls his] children are all human beings [MTY], Jesus also became a human being [just like them]. The devil has the power to cause people [to be afraid] to die, but Christ became human in order that by his dying he might make the devil powerless.
15 Ya cukuno anime bati ma buri vat ande sa datti uyoo uwe waziri nirere barki biyau biwono.
[Jesus did that] to free all of us who are like slaves [MET] all the time we live, because we are [forced to] be afraid to die.
16 Inzo barki Ibe ikadura ka Asere ini mazin nu benki uwe ba, barki bisana bi Ibrahim bini.
Because [Jesus became a human being], it is not angels whom he wants to help. No, it is we who trust God as Abraham did whom he wants to help.
17 Barki anime ya cukuno me gbas ma'e kasi anu henume atinaa sassas, bati ma cukuno unu gogoni nan una kadure unu udandang ukatuma ka Asere atimum ta Asere, nan urete ucara wa nabun.
So, [since he came to help humans, not angels], he had to be made exactly like [us whom he calls] his own brothers [and sisters]. He wants to be a Supreme Priest who [acts] mercifully [to all people] and who faithfully does what God wants, so that people who had sinned would be declared no longer guilty.
18 Barki sa Yeso ma si ijassi amansa me, madi barki ande sa mansa we.
[Specifically], he is able to help those/us who are tempted [to sin]. He can do that because he suffered, and he was also tempted [to sin like we are tempted to sin].
