हिब्रू 2

1 त्यसकारण, हामीले जे सुनेका छौँ त्यसमा हामीले सबैभन्दा बढी ध्यान दिनुपर्छ । त्यसैले, यसबाट बहकिएर हामी टाढा जानुहुँदैन ।

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 यदि स्वर्गदूतहरूद्वारा बोलिएको सन्देशको मान्यता भयो भने, र हरेक आज्ञा उल्लघङ्न गर्ने र अनाज्ञाकारीहरूले ठिक सजाय पाउँछन् भने र

[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 हामीले यति ठुलो मुक्‍तिको बेवास्‍ता गर्‍यौँ भने, तब हामी कसरी उम्कन सक्छौँ र? यो मुक्‍ति जुन पहिलो पल्ट प्रभुद्वारा नै घोषणा गरिएको थियो र जसले यो सुने हाम्रा निम्ति त्यो पक्‍का गरियो ।

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 त्यही समयमा परमेश्‍वरले यसलाई चिह्नहरू, अचम्मका काम र विभिन्‍न शक्‍तिशाली कामहरूबाट अनि उहाँको आफ्नै इच्छाअनुसार पवित्र आत्माका वरदानहरूको वितरणद्वारा प्रमाणित गरिदिनुभयो ।

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 हामीले कुरा गरिराखेको आउँदो संसारलाई परमेश्‍वरले स्वर्गदूतहरूको अधीनमा राख्‍नुभएन ।

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 त्यसको सट्टामा, कसैले कुनै ठाउँमा यसरी गवाही दिएको छ, “मानिस के हो, तपाईं त्यसको ख्याल गर्नुहुन्छ? वा मानिसको छोरो के हो जसका निम्ति तपाईं वास्ता गर्नुहुन्छ?

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 तपाईंले मानिसलाई स्वर्गदूतभन्दा अलि कम बनाउनुभएको छ; तपाईंले उसलाई महिमा र आदरको मुकुट पहिराउनुभएको छ । (नोटः केही पुरानो संस्करणले थप्छ) र तपाईंले उसलाई तपाईंका हातका कामहरूमाथि राख्‍नुभएको छ ।

[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 तपाईंले हरेक कुरा उहाँको अधीनमा राख्‍नुभएको छ ।” किनभने परमेश्‍वरले सबै कुरा मानव-जातिको अधीनतामा राख्‍नुभएको थियो । उहाँले कुनै पनि थोक मानिसबाट बाहिर रहन दिनुभएन । तर आज हामी कुनै पनि चिज मानिसको अधीनमा रहेको देख्दैनौँ ।

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 तर, उहाँलाई केही समयको निम्ति स्वर्गदूतभन्दा कम बनाइएको हामीले देखेका छौँ । उहाँ येशू हुनुहुन्छ । किनभने उहाँका दुःख र मृत्युको कारणले येशू ख्रीष्‍टलाई महिमा र आदरको मुकुट पहिराइएको छ । त्यसकारण, अहिले परमेश्‍वरको अनुग्रहबाट येशू ख्रीष्‍टले हरेक मानिसका निम्ति मृत्यु चाख्‍नुभयो ।

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 यो परमेश्‍वरका निम्ति उपयुक्त थियो, किनभने हरेक थोक उहाँका निम्ति र उहाँद्वारा अस्तित्वमा आएको छ । धेरै छोराहरू महिमामा ल्याइँदा उहाँको दुःखद्वारा तिनीहरूको मुक्‍तिलाई पुरा गर्न उहाँ एक अगुवा बनाइनुभयो ।

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 किनकि समर्पण गर्ने र समर्पण गरिएकाहरू दुवै एउटै स्रोतबाट आउँछन् । त्यसैकारण, उहाँ तिनीहरूलाई भाइहरू भनी बोलाउन शर्माउनुहुन्‍न ।

[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 उहाँ भन्‍नुहुन्छ, “म तपाईंको नाउँ मेरा दाजुभाइहरूलाई घोषणा गर्नेछु; म सभाको बिचबाट तपाईंको गीत गाउनेछु ।”

[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 र फेरि, “म उहाँमा भरोसा गर्नेछु ।” र फेरि, “हेर, यहाँ म र मेरा छोराछोरीहरू जसलाई परमेश्‍वरले मलाई दिनुभएको छ ।”

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 त्यसकारण, पहिले नै परमेश्‍वरका छोराछोरीहरू मासु र रगतको एक भाग भएका हुनाले येशूले पनि त्यही कुराहरू तिनीहरूसँग बाँड्नुभयो । त्यसैले, येशूले मृत्यु सहेर मृत्युको शक्ति भएकोलाई अर्थात् शैतानलाई नष्‍ट पार्नुभयो ।

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 मृत्युको डरद्वारा र सधैँ शैतानका दास भएर जिएकाहरूको लागि स्वतन्त्रता दिन उहाँले त्यसो गर्नुभयो ।

[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 किनकि वास्तवमा उहाँले स्वर्गदूतहरूको वास्ता गर्नुहुन्‍न; बरु, उहाँले वास्ता गर्ने त अब्राहामका सन्तानको हो ।

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 त्यसैले, उहाँका भाइहरूजस्तै बन्‍न उहाँका निम्ति सबै क्षेत्रमा आवश्यक थियो । त्यसकारण, उहाँ परमेश्‍वरका कुराहरूसम्बन्धी दयापूर्ण र विश्‍वासयोग्य हुनुभई परमेश्‍वरका महान् पुजारी हुनुभयो । त्यसैले, उहाँले सबै मानिसका पापको क्षमा ल्याउन सक्‍नुभयो ।

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 किनभने येशू आफैँले दुःख भोग्‍नुभयो, र परीक्षित हुनुभयो; उहाँले परीक्षामा पर्नेहरूलाई सहायता गर्न सक्‍नुहुन्छ ।

[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].
