Hebrifoɔ 2
1 Yei enti na ɛsɛ sɛ yɛsɔ nokorɛ a yɛate no mu denden sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, biribi rentu yɛn aso.
Therefore we ought to give the more earn heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.
2 Nsɛm a abɔfoɔ no kaeɛ no yɛ nokorɛ enti obiara a wanni so no nyaa asotwe a ɛfata no.
For if the word (logos) spoken by angels was steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence 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, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that 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.
God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit, (pneuma) according to his own will?
5 Onyankopɔn amma abɔfoɔ anni ewiase a na wayɛ nʼadwene sɛ ɔrebɛbɔ no so; saa ewiase a yɛka ho asɛm no.
For unto the angels has he not put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak.
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 one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, that you are mindful of him? or the son of man that you visit 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 honour, and did set him over the works of your hands:
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.
You have put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under 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 for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.
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, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.
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 he that santifies and they who are sanctified are all of one: for 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 declare your name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto you.
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 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.
Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had 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 deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.
16 Ɛyɛ nokorɛ turodoo sɛ ɛnyɛ abɔfoɔ na ɔboa wɔn. Na mmom, sɛdeɛ Atwerɛsɛm no ka no, “Ɔboa Abraham asefoɔ.”
For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him 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.
Wherefore in all things it was essential for him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation 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 has suffered being tempted, he is able to help them that are tempted.
