Hebræos 2

1 propterea abundantius oportet observare nos ea quae audivimus ne forte pereffluamus

Because of this it is more abundantly necessary to take heed to the things heard, lest we may drift away,

2 si enim qui per angelos dictus est sermo factus est firmus et omnis praevaricatio et inoboedientia accepit iustam mercedis retributionem

for if the word being spoken through messengers became steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just repayment,

3 quomodo nos effugiemus si tantam neglexerimus salutem quae cum initium accepisset enarrari per Dominum ab eis qui audierunt in nos confirmata est

how will we escape, having neglected such great salvation? Which having received [that] spoken through the LORD [from] the beginning, was confirmed to us by those having heard,

4 contestante Deo signis et portentis et variis virtutibus et Spiritus Sancti distributionibus secundum suam voluntatem

God also bearing joint-witness both with signs and wonders, and manifold powers, and distributions of the Holy Spirit, according to His will.

5 non enim angelis subiecit orbem terrae futurum de quo loquimur

For He did not subject the coming world to messengers, concerning which we speak,

6 testatus est autem in quodam loco quis dicens quid est homo quod memor es eius aut filius hominis quoniam visitas eum

and one in a certain place testified fully, saying, “What is man, that You are mindful of him, Or a son of man, that You look after him?

7 minuisti eum paulo minus ab angelis gloria et honore coronasti eum et constituisti eum super opera manuum tuarum

You made him [a] little less than messengers, You crowned him with glory and honor, And set him over the works of Your hands,

8 omnia subiecisti sub pedibus eius in eo enim quod ei omnia subiecit nihil dimisit non subiectum ei nunc autem necdum videmus omnia subiecta ei

You put all things in subjection under his feet,” for in the subjecting to Him all things, He left nothing to Him unsubjected, but now we do not yet see all things subjected to Him,

9 eum autem qui modico quam angeli minoratus est videmus Iesum propter passionem mortis gloria et honore coronatum ut gratia Dei pro omnibus gustaret mortem

and we see Him who was made [a] little less than messengers—Jesus—because of the suffering of death, having been crowned with glory and honor, that by the grace of God He might taste of death for everyone.

10 decebat enim eum propter quem omnia et per quem omnia qui multos filios in gloriam adduxerat auctorem salutis eorum per passiones consummare

For it was fitting to Him, because of whom [are] all things, and through whom [are] all things, bringing many sons to glory, to make the author of their salvation perfect through sufferings,

11 qui enim sanctificat et qui sanctificantur ex uno omnes propter quam causam non confunditur fratres eos vocare dicens

for both He who is sanctifying and those sanctified [are] all of one, for which cause He is not ashamed to call them brothers,

12 nuntiabo nomen tuum fratribus meis in medio ecclesiae laudabo te

saying, “I will declare Your Name to My brothers, In the midst of an assembly I will sing praise to You”; and again, “I will be trusting on Him”;

13 et iterum ego ero fidens in eum et iterum ecce ego et pueri mei quos mihi dedit Deus

and again, “Behold, I and the children that God gave to Me.”

14 quia ergo pueri communicaverunt sanguini et carni et ipse similiter participavit hisdem ut per mortem destrueret eum qui habebat mortis imperium id est diabolum

Seeing, then, the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He Himself also took part of the same in like manner, that through death He might destroy him having the power of death—that is, the Devil—

15 et liberaret eos qui timore mortis per totam vitam obnoxii erant servituti

and might deliver those, whoever, with fear of death, throughout all their life, were subjects of bondage,

16 nusquam enim angelos adprehendit sed semen Abrahae adprehendit

for doubtless, He does not lay hold of messengers, but He lays hold of [the] seed of Abraham,

17 unde debuit per omnia fratribus similare ut misericors fieret et fidelis pontifex ad Deum ut repropitiaret delicta populi

for this reason it seemed necessary to Him to be made like the brothers in all things, that He might become a kind and faithful Chief Priest in the things related to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people,

18 in eo enim in quo passus est ipse temptatus potens est eis qui temptantur auxiliari

for in that He suffered, Himself being tempted, He is able to help those who are tempted.
