Vēstule Ebrējiem 2
1 Tāpēc mums būs jo vairāk vērā ņemt to vārdu, ko esam dzirdējuši, ka jel netopam aizrauti pazušanā.
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 Jo ja tas vārds, kas caur eņģeļiem runāts, ir bijis stiprs, un ikkatra pārkāpšana un neklausīšana ir dabūjusi savu taisno atmaksu;
[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 Kā tad mēs izbēgsim par tādu pestīšanu nebēdādami? Tā papriekš ir sludināta caur To Kungu un mums apstiprināta no tiem, kas to dzirdējuši;
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 Tai Dievs ir liecību devis ar zīmēm un brīnumiem un dažādiem spēkiem un ar Tā Svētā Gara izdalīšanām pēc Sava prāta.
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 Jo ne eņģeļiem Viņš ir padevis to nākamo pasauli, par ko mēs runājam.
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 Bet viens kādā vietā ir apliecinājis sacīdams: kas ir cilvēks, ka Tu viņu piemini? Jeb cilvēka dēls, ka Tu viņu piemeklē?
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 Īsu laiku Tu viņu esi darījis mazāku nekā eņģeļus, ar godu un slavu Tu viņu esi kronējis un viņu iecēlis pār Savu roku darbiem;
[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 Visas lietas Tu esi licis apakš viņa kājām. Jo kad Tas viņam visas lietas padevis, tad Tas neko nav atstājis, kas viņam nebūtu padots; bet tagad mēs vēl neredzam, ka viņam visas lietas padotas.
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 Bet mēs redzam Jēzu nāves ciešanas dēļ ar godu un slavu kronētu, kas īsu laiku mazāks tapis nekā eņģeļi, lai Viņš caur Dieva žēlastību par visiem nāvi baudītu.
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 Jo Tam, kā dēļ visas lietas ir un caur ko visas lietas ir, kas daudz bērnus uz godību vada, Tam pienācās Viņu, pestīšanas vadoni, caur ciešanām pilnīgu darīt.
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 Jo tāpat tas, kas svētī, kā tie, kas top svētīti, visi ir no viena; tādēļ Viņš nekaunas, tos saukt par brāļiem,
[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 Sacīdams: Es Tavu vārdu sludināšu Saviem brāļiem, draudzes vidū Es Tev pateicības dziesmas dziedāšu.
[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 Un atkal: Es Savu cerību likšu uz Viņu. Un atkal: redzi, Es un tie bērni, ko Dievs Man ir devis.
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 Kad nu tie bērni miesas un asinis dabūjuši, tad arī Viņš to pašu it līdzīgi ir dabūjis, ka Viņš caur nāvi iznīcinātu to, kam bija nāves vara, tas ir velnu,
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 Un atsvabinātu visus tos, kas caur nāves bailēm cauru mūžu bija padoti kalpošanai.
[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 Jo Viņš taču nepieņem eņģeļus, bet Ābrahāma dzimumu Viņš pieņem.
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 Tāpēc Viņam vajadzēja visās lietās tiem brāļiem palikt līdzīgam, lai sirds žēlīgs taptu un uzticīgs augsts priesteris Dieva priekšā, to ļaužu grēkus salīdzināt.
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 Jo caur to, ka Pats ir cietis un kārdināts, Viņš tiem, kas top kārdināti, var palīdzēt.
[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].
