< Hivru 2 >
1 Na'ankure e'ina agafare ko'ma antahi'nona kemofona antahini' nehuta atreta akoheta ogamu'a ovanune.
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 Na'ankure Anumzamo ankero vahepi huvazino nehia ke'mo'a, tamage huno efore nehie. Kasegema rutagrezane ke ontahizamofona, mizama'a me'ne hunesiana,
[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 Anumzamo'ma tahoke'neazama tamagenama humisuta, tagra inankna huta rimpa hezana agateregahune? Ama ana tahoke'zana esetera Ramo hu'ama higeno, Agrite'ma zamentintima nehaza vahete amara higeta ke'none.
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 Anumzamo'a avamezampima, kaguvazampima, ruzahu ruzahu kaguvazampi huama nehuno, Avamumofo musezanena Agra'a avesite refko huno nezamie.
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 Henkama esia mopaguma nehuna mopa, ankero vahe'mo'za kva hiho huno huozamante'ne.
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 Hagi avontafepina anage hu'naze. Vahera na'a mani'negenka kagra antahintahia hunemine? Vahe'mofo mofavregura antahinemine?
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 Kagra atupa knafi ankero vahe'mokizmi zamagorga Agrira avrenentenka, masazanka'areti kini fetori antenentenka, husga hunentenka, maka'zama tro'ma hunte'nana zantera huntankeno kegava nehigenka, Kagra makazana Agri kavafi ante'nane.
[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 Kagra maka'zana agri kavafi ante'nane. Na'ankure mago'zamo'a agri kvafintira mani oganegahianki maka'zamo'a Agri kvafinke me'ne. Hianagi menima konana, maka'zamo'a Agri kvafina omanene. (Sam-Zga 8:4-6)
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 Hagi osia knafi ankero agorga azeri fenkate'nea nera tagra Jisasina kenone, menina azeri antesga huno msazama'areti kini fetori antente'ne. Hu'negu Anumzamo asuragirantenegu mikamotagu huno frizampina ufrene.
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 Ana miko'zana Anumzamofo zantami megeno, ana maka zantamina Agri'a hankavereti trohune. Hagi ana miko Anumzamofo mofavre nagara zamahokeno zamaza hanige'za masazama'afina manisazegu Anumzamo'a fatgo huno kumi'a omanenea Ne' Jisasina tamigeno atazana eri'ne.
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 Na'ankure vahe'ma zamazeri agru hu'nemo'ene, agruma hu'naza naga'mo'za, magoke ne'pinti fore hu'nazankino, nensaro nenafuo huno huzankura agazea nosie.
[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 Agra anage hu'ne, Nagra nafuhemokizaminte kagia huama nehu'na, ana miko vahe'ma atru hu'nesafi, zagamera hu'na kagika'a ahesaga hugahue.
[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 Mago'ane anage hu'ne, Nagra antahimina agripi namenanentoe. Nagra Anumzamo'ma nami'nea mofavre zagane ama mani'noe hu'ne.
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 Hagi mofavre'mo'za zamavufagane korane mani'nagu, Agranena zamagrikna huno ama avufare eme frino, fri'zamofo hankavema Sata'ma kinama hurante'nea hanavea azeri amnezankna hu'ne.
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 Hagi fri'zamofo korozampima kazokzo eri'za vahekna hu'za kina hu'za mani'namokizmia kazufe zmantege'za fruhu'za mani'naze.
[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 Na'ankure Agra ankero zamaza hu'nakura ome'neanki, Abrahamumpintima fore'ma hu'naza nagamokizmi zamaza hu'naku e'ne.
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 E'ina hu'negu Agri'a nefune nesaroma hunentea avu'ava huno mika'zampina nehuno, Agra Anumzamofo avurera asuragiranteno ke'are oti fatgohu pristi ne' nemanino, vahe'mokizmia kumizmi nona huno magoke zupa apasezmante ne' mani'ne.
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 Na'ankure Agra reheno kezampi ufreno ataza eri'nemo, tamarehe zampima unefrazamota tamaza hugahie.
[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].
