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 pay greater attention to the things that were heard, so that we will 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 word spoken through angels proved steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense;
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 will we escape if we neglect so great a salvation—which at the first having been spoken through the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard;
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 testifying with them, both by signs and wonders, by various works of power, and by gifts of the Holy Spirit, 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 he did not subject the world to come, of 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 one has somewhere testified, saying, "What is man, that you think 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.
You have put all things under his feet." For in that he put all things under him, he left nothing that is not under him. But now we do not yet see that all things are 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 him who has been made a little lower than the angels, Jesus, because of the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that by the grace of God he should taste of 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.
For it became him, for whom are all things, and through whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to make the author 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 who sanctifies and those who are sanctified are all from one, for which cause he 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.”
saying, "I will declare your name to my brothers. In the midst of the assembly I will praise 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, "Look, here I am, 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.
Since then the children have shared in flesh and blood, he also himself in like manner partook of the same, that through death he might bring to nothing him who 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 might deliver all of 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, truly, he did not come to help the angels, but to help the offspring 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 was obligated in all things to be made like his brothers, that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, 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.
For in that he himself has suffered being tempted, he is able to help those who are tempted.
