Hebrifoɔ 2
1 Yei enti na ɛsɛ sɛ yɛsɔ nokorɛ a yɛate no mu denden sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, biribi rentu yɛn aso.
We must pay closer attention, therefore, to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away.
2 Nsɛm a abɔfoɔ no kaeɛ no yɛ nokorɛ enti obiara a wanni so no nyaa asotwe a ɛfata no.
For if the message spoken by angels was binding, and every transgression and disobedience received its just punishment,
3 Na sɛ yɛantie saa nkwagyesɛm yi a, ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na yɛatumi adwane? Awurade no ankasa na ɔdii ɛkan kaa saa nkwagyeɛ yi ho asɛm na wɔn a wɔtiee no no, ama yɛahunu sɛ ɛyɛ nokorɛ.
how shall we escape if we neglect such a great salvation? This salvation was first announced by the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard Him,
4 Saa ɛberɛ korɔ no ara mu Onyankopɔn nam ne nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ ne nʼanwanwadwuma so dii ho adanseɛ. Bio, ɔkyɛɛ Honhom Kronkron no sɛdeɛ ɔpɛ.
and was affirmed by God through signs, wonders, various miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to His will.
5 Onyankopɔn amma abɔfoɔ anni ewiase a na wayɛ nʼadwene sɛ ɔrebɛbɔ no so; saa ewiase a yɛka ho asɛm no.
For it is not to angels that He has subjected the world to come, about which we are speaking.
6 Na mmom, wɔaka no Atwerɛsɛm no mu baabi sɛ: “Onipa ne hwan a wokae no; na onipa ba nso ne hwan a wʼani ku ne ho?
But somewhere it is testified in these words: “What is man that You are mindful of him, or the son of man that You care for him?
7 Wobɔɔ no maa ɔyɛɛ akumaa kakra sene abɔfoɔ; na wode wʼanimuonyam ne anidie abɔ no abotire,
You made him a little lower than the angels; You crowned him with glory and honor
8 sɛ ɔnni nneɛma nyinaa so.” Ɛka sɛ Onyankopɔn bɔɔ onipa sɛ “nneɛma nyinaa sodifoɔ.” Yei kyerɛ sɛ biribiara nni hɔ a wɔamfa anhyɛ nʼase. Nanso, seesei yɛnya nhunuu sɛ onipa di nneɛma nyinaa so.
and placed everything under his feet.” When God subjected all things to him, He left nothing outside of his control. Yet at present we do not see everything subject to him.
9 Na mmom, yɛhunu Yesu! Mmerɛ tiawa bi, wɔbrɛɛ no ase sene abɔfoɔ, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, Onyankopɔn adom enti, ɔbɛwu ama nnipa nyinaa. Owuo a ɔwuiɛ no enti, Onyankopɔn de animuonyam abotire abɔ no.
But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, now crowned with glory and honor because He suffered death, so that by the grace of God He might taste death for everyone.
10 Onyankopɔn na ɔbɔɔ nneɛma nyinaa, na ɔwɔ tumi sɛ ɔyɛ biribiara. Ne saa enti, ɛfiri sɛ ɛyɛ ne pɛ sɛ ɔde ne mma nyinaa bɛba nʼanimuonyam mu no, ɔmaa Agyenkwa no faa amanehunu mu sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, ne mma no nsa bɛka nkwagyeɛ a ɛyɛ pɛ no. Ɛfiri sɛ, Yesu nko ara ne Onipa a ɔbɛtumi adi wɔn anim akɔ nkwagyeɛ mu.
In bringing many sons to glory, it was fitting for God, for whom and through whom all things exist, to make the author of their salvation perfect through suffering.
11 Ɔma nnipa yɛ kronkron firi wɔn bɔne mu. Na ɔne wɔn a wayɛ wɔn kronkron no nyinaa wɔ Agya baako. Ɛno enti na Yesu mfɛre sɛ ɔfrɛ wɔn anuanom no.
For both the One who sanctifies and those who are sanctified are of the same family. So Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers.
12 Ɔka sɛ, “Mɛka wo ho asɛm akyerɛ me nuanom, mɛkamfo wo wɔ wɔn a wɔahyia hɔ no nyinaa anim.”
He says: “I will proclaim Your name to My brothers; I will sing Your praises in the assembly.”
13 Ɔsane ka bio sɛ, “Mede me ho bɛto Onyankopɔn so.” Na ɔno nso ka sɛ, “Mma a Onyankopɔn de wɔn ama me no nie.”
And again: “I will put My trust in Him.” And once again: “Here am I, and the children God has given Me.”
14 Esiane sɛ mma no wɔ honam ne mogya enti, Yesu nso baa onipa tebea mu sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a ɔnam ne wuo no so bɛsɛe ɔbonsam a ɔkura owuo tumi no ahoɔden.
Now since the children have flesh and blood, He too shared in their humanity, so that by His death He might destroy him who holds the power of death, that is, the devil,
15 Na ɔnam so agye wɔn a ɛsiane sɛ wɔsuro owuo enti, wɔn asetena mu nyinaa, wɔayɛ nkoa no.
and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death.
16 Ɛyɛ nokorɛ turodoo sɛ ɛnyɛ abɔfoɔ na ɔboa wɔn. Na mmom, sɛdeɛ Atwerɛsɛm no ka no, “Ɔboa Abraham asefoɔ.”
For surely it is not the angels He helps, but the descendants of Abraham.
17 Yei kyerɛ sɛ, ɛkwan biara so no, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔyɛ sɛ ne nuanom sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, ɔbɛyɛ wɔn nokwafoɔ ne mmɔborɔhunufoɔ Ɔsɔfopanin wɔ Onyankopɔn anim, na ɛnam so ma wɔde nnipa bɔne akyɛ wɔn.
For this reason He had to be made like His brothers in every way, so that He might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, in order to make atonement for the sins of the people.
18 Enti afei, ɔbɛtumi aboa wɔn a wɔasɔ wɔn ahwɛ ɛfiri sɛ, ɔno ankasa wɔsɔɔ no hwɛeɛ maa ɔhunuu amane.
Because He Himself suffered when He was tempted, He is able to help those who are being tempted.
