< Hebrifo 2 >

1 Eyi nti na ɛsɛ sɛ yeso nokware a yɛate no mu dennen, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a biribi rentu yɛn aso.
Because of this we ought to give more earnest heed to the things that were heard, lest we might slip away.
2 Nsɛm a abɔfo no kae no yɛ nokware, enti obiara a wanni so no nyaa asotwe a ɛfata no.
For if the word spoken through agents became certain, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense of reward,
3 Na sɛ yɛantie saa nkwagye yi a, ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na yɛatumi aguan? Awurade no ankasa na odii kan kaa saa nkwagye yi ho asɛm na wɔn a wotiee no no ama yɛahu sɛ ɛyɛ nokware.
how will we escape, having neglected so great a salvation? Which first, having taken to be spoken by the Lord, was verified for us by those who heard;
4 Saa bere koro no ara mu na Onyankopɔn nam ne nsɛnkyerɛnne ne nʼanwonwadwuma so dii ho adanse. Bio, ɔkyɛɛ Honhom Kronkron no sɛnea ɔpɛ.
God also testifying simultaneously by signs and wonders, and by various powers and distributions of the Holy Spirit according to his will.
5 Onyankopɔn amma abɔfo anni wiase a na wayɛ nʼadwene sɛ ɔrebɛbɔ no so; saa wiase a yɛka ho asɛm no.
For he did not subject the coming world to agents, about which we speak.
6 Na mmom wɔaka wɔ Kyerɛwsɛm no mu baabi se, “Onipa ne hena a wokae no; na onipa ba nso ne hena a wʼani ku ne ho?
But a certain man has somewhere testified, saying, What is man, that thou remember him? Or a son of man, that thou help him?
7 Wobɔɔ no ma ɔyɛɛ akumaa kakra sen abɔfo; na wode wʼanuonyam ne nidi abɔ no abotiri,
Thou made him a little something less than the agents. Thou crowned him with glory and honor.
8 sɛ onni nneɛma nyinaa so.” Ɛka se Onyankopɔn bɔɔ onipa sɛ, “Nneɛma nyinaa sodifo,” eyi da no adi sɛ biribiara ka ho. Nanso yenhu sɛ mprempren onipa di nneɛma nyinaa so.
Thou subordinated all things under his feet. For in subordinating all things to him, he left nothing not subordinate to him. But now we do not yet see all things subordinated to him.
9 Nanso yehu Yesu! Mmere tiaa bi, wɔbɔɔ no hyɛɛ abɔfo ase sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a esiane Onyankopɔn ahummɔbɔ nti ɛsɛ sɛ owu ma nnipa nyinaa no. Yehu no sɛ esiane owu a owui no nti, wɔahyɛ no anuonyam.
But we see Jesus who has been made a little something less than the agents, who, because of the suffering of death, has been crowned with glory and honor, so that by the grace of God he would taste of death for every man.
10 Eye sɛ Onyankopɔn a ɔbɔɔ nneɛma nyinaa na ɔhwɛ so no bɛma Yesu afa nʼamanehunu no mu ayɛ pɛ sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a ɔbɛma ne mma nyinaa akɔ saa anuonyam no mu bi. Efisɛ Yesu no nko ara ne Onipa a obedi wɔn anim akɔ nkwagye no mu.
For it was fitting for him, through whom are all things, and because of whom are all things, having brought many sons to glory, to make the pathfinder of their salvation fully perfect through sufferings.
11 Ɔma nnipa yɛ kronkron fi wɔn bɔne mu. Na ɔne wɔn a wayɛ wɔn kronkron no nyinaa wɔ Agya baako. Ɛno nti na Yesu mfɛre sɛ ɔfrɛ wɔn anuanom no.
For both he who sanctifies and those being sanctified are all of one, because of which reason he is not ashamed to call them brothers,
12 Ɔka se, “Mɛka wo ho asɛm akyerɛ me nuanom, mɛkamfo wo wɔ wɔn a wɔahyia hɔ no nyinaa anim.”
saying, I will declare thy name to my brothers. In the midst of the congregation I will sing praise to thee.
13 Ɔsan ka bio se, “Mede me ho bɛto Onyankopɔn so.” Na ɔno nso ka se, “Mma a Onyankopɔn de wɔn ama me no ni.”
And again, I will be a man who has trusted in him. And again, Behold, I and the children that God has given me.
14 Esiane sɛ mma no wɔ ɔhonam ne mogya nti, Yesu nso baa onipa tebea mu sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a ɔnam ne wu no so bɛsɛe ɔbonsam a okura owu tumi no ahoɔden.
Since therefore the children have partaken of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise shared the same things, so that through death he might make him who has the power of death impotent, that is, the devil.
15 Na ɔnam so agye wɔn a esiane sɛ wosuro owu nti, wɔayɛ akoa wɔ wɔn asetena nyinaa mu no.
And he might liberate these, as many as throughout all their lifetime were deserving of bondage, with a specter of death.
16 Ɛyɛ nokware turodoo sɛ ɛnyɛ abɔfo na ɔboa wɔn. Na mmom sɛnea Kyerɛwsɛm no ka no, “Ɔboa Abraham asefo.”
For he certainly did not embrace agents, but he embraced the seed of Abraham.
17 Eyi kyerɛ sɛ ɔkwan biara so no, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔyɛ sɛ ne nuanom, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a ɔbɛyɛ wɔn Sɔfopanyin nokwafo ne mmɔborɔhunufo wɔ Onyankopɔn som mu, na anam so ma wɔde nnipa bɔne akyɛ wɔn.
Therefore he was obligated to be made like his brothers in accordance with all things, so that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in things toward God, in order to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.
18 Enti afei, obetumi aboa wɔn a wɔasɔ wɔn ahwɛ no, efisɛ wɔsɔɔ ɔno ankasa hwɛe, ma ohuu amane.
For in that he himself has suffered, having been tempted, he is able to help those being tempted.
