Hebrifoɔ 2
1 Yei enti na ɛsɛ sɛ yɛsɔ nokorɛ a yɛate no mu denden sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, biribi rentu yɛn aso.
Therefore it behooves us the more earnestly to give heed to the things which we have heard, lest at some time we may leak out.
2 Nsɛm a abɔfoɔ no kaeɛ no yɛ nokorɛ enti obiara a wanni so no nyaa asotwe a ɛfata no.
For if the word having been spoken by angels was stedfast, and every disobedience and transgression received a just recompense of reward;
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, having neglected so great a salvation? which having received the beginning to be spoken by the Lord, was confirmed unto us by those who heard it;
4 Saa ɛberɛ korɔ no ara mu Onyankopɔn nam ne nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ ne nʼanwanwadwuma so dii ho adanseɛ. Bio, ɔkyɛɛ Honhom Kronkron no sɛdeɛ ɔpɛ.
God at the same time witnessing, by signs and indeed by wonders, and various dynamites, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, 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 he did not submit the world to come, concerning which we speak, to angels.
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 one testified, saying, What is man, that thou art mindful of him? Or the Son of man, that thou visitest him?
7 Wobɔɔ no maa ɔyɛɛ akumaa kakra sene abɔfoɔ; na wode wʼanimuonyam ne anidie abɔ no abotire,
Thou didst humiliate him somewhat comparatively with the angels; thou didst crown 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.
thou didst subordinate all things beneath his feet. For in subordinating all things beneath him, he left nothing which is not subordinated beneath 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 humiliated somewhat in comparison with the angels, having been crowned with glory and honor on account of the suffering of death, in order that by the grace of God he might taste death for every one.
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.
For it became him, on account of whom are all things, and through whom are all things, in leading many sons to glory, to make the captain 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 sanctifying and they who are sanctified are all of one: on account of which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,
12 Ɔka sɛ, “Mɛka wo ho asɛm akyerɛ me nuanom, mɛkamfo wo wɔ wɔn a wɔahyia hɔ no nyinaa anim.”
saying, I will proclaim thy name to thy brethren, in the midst of the church will sing praises to thee.
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 again; Behold, I and the children which God has given unto 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.
Then since the children have inherited blood and flesh, he likewise also received the same, in order that through death he might set at nought him who has 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 might reconcile them whosoever were subject to bondage all their life through the fear of death.
16 Ɛyɛ nokorɛ turodoo sɛ ɛnyɛ abɔfoɔ na ɔboa wɔn. Na mmom, sɛdeɛ Atwerɛsɛm no ka no, “Ɔboa Abraham asefoɔ.”
For not yet does he take upon himself the nature of angels, but he takes upon himself the seed 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.
Therefore he ought in all things to be made like unto his brethren, in order that he might be a merciful and faithful High Priest in things appertaining to God, to the end that he may atone 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.
For in that he himself suffered being tempted, he is able to succor those who are tempted.
