Vaebrania 2
1 Lino lutunoghile tuvike uluhuvilo kukila kughano tupulike, ulwakuti tulabaghulivu tuka baghulua patali ni je.
So, [since that is true], we must pay very careful attention to what we have heard [about God’s Son], in order that we do not drift away from it, [as a boat drifts off its course when people do not guide it] [MET].
2 Ulwakuva imholo jino jilya jovilue na vanyamola ja kyang'haani, uvuhosi vwoni nu vuvwafu vukwupila isaha jene,
[God’s laws that] were given by angels were valid, and God justly punished all who rejected them and all who disobeyed [DOU] them.
3 tupokakua ndani nave natuvingilila uvupoki uvu uvuvaha? uvupoki vuno vukapulisivue nu Ntwa na kukuvonesia kulyusue navala vano valya vupulike.
So, we will certainly not escape [God punishing us] if we ignore such a great [message about how God] [MTY] saves us! [RHQ] This [new message] was first spoken by the Lord [Jesus] {The Lord [Jesus] first spoke this [message]}. Then it was confirmed to us by those who heard [what the Lord told them] {those who heard [what the Lord told them] confirmed it to us}.
4 UNguluve kange alivonesisie kukivalilo, mufidegho, na mumbombo soni imbaha, na muluvonolo lwa Mhepo uMwimike sino alyasighavile vwimila uvughane vwa mwene jujuo.
God also confirmed to us [that this message was true] by [enabling believers to do] many things that showed God’s power, to do other miraculous things [DOU], and [to do other things] by the gifts that the Holy Spirit distributed to them according to what [God] desired.
5 UNguluve nakabikile uvulanga vuno vu kwisa, vuno tujova imholo sa vwene, psa pavanyamhola.
God has determined that the angels will not rule over everything. [Instead, he has determined that Christ] will rule in the new world that [God] will [create]. [That is the new world] about which I am writing.
6 Pa uluo umuunhu jumonga ulelilile kumonga iti, Umuunhu ghwe veeni, nambe naghughesia pikumbuka? Nambe mwana ghwa muunhu, nambe kukuswila?
Someone spoke to [God about this] somewhere [in the Scriptures], saying, (No one is worthy enough for you to think about him!/Who is [worthy enough] for you to think about him?) [RHQ] (No human is [worthy enough] for you to care for him!/Is any human [worthy enough] for you to care for him?) [RHQ]
7 umuunhu iva n'debe kukila umunyamhola; uvwasisie ingela ja vwimike nu vwoghopua. (Kadilila: Munakala inofu isakwasia, amalembe agha napweghale. “Pe um'bikile pakyanya pambombo ja mamavoko ghako.)
[So it is surprising that] you have caused people to be for a little while inferior in rank to angels. You have greatly honored [DOU] them [MET], as [kings are honored with] a crown.
8 Ubikila ifinu fyoni pasi pamaghulu gha mwene.” Lino uNguluve abikile ifinu fyoni pasi pa vaanhu. Nalyakilekile ikinu kyekyoni kino nakilyale pasi pa mwene. Looli lino natukufivona ifinu fyoni kuuti filipasi pa mwene.
You have put everything under people’s control [MET]. God has determined that people will rule over absolutely everything [LIT]. But now, at this present time, we perceive that people do not yet have authority over everything.
9 Nambe lino, tukughavona ghano ghano alyavombile kunsiki, pasis kuli munyamhola Yesu, juno, vwimila vwa mumuko sake nuvufue vwa mwene, afwalisivue ingela ija vwimike nu vwoghopua. Lino kuvumofu vwa Nguluve, uYesu avonjile uvufue vwimila vwa vaanhu vooni.
But we do know about Jesus, [who truly has authority over everything]! Hebrews 2:9b-13 Jesus, for a little while, became inferior [in rank] to angels in order to die on behalf of [MET] everyone. He became inferior when he suffered [and] died, as God kindly [planned]. But now he has been greatly [honored] [DOU] [by being] crowned [as kings are].
10 Lulyale lwa kyang'haani kuuti uNguluve, ulwakuvaifinu fyoni pwefile vwimla umwene kukilila umwene, lukamunoghile kukuvaletela avaana vinga mu vwimike, nakuuti lukamunoghile kukum'bomba um'baha mu vupoki vuvana kuva mwitike kukilila imumuko sa mwene.
It was fitting that [God] make [Jesus] (perfect/all that God intended him to be). God was enabling many people who would belong to him [MET] to share his glory. God [is the one who] created all things, and [he is the one] for whom all things [exist]. [He perfected Jesus] by causing him to suffer [and die]. [Jesus] is the one whom [God] uses to save people.
11 Ulwakuuti vooni vavili jula juno ibika uvwimike navala vano vivika uvwimike, vooni vihuma mukisikina kimo, Nguluve. vwimila ulu jula juno ibika uvwimike kwa Nguluve naivoona soni kukuvakemela avanyalukolo.
[Jesus] is the one who (makes people holy/sets people apart for God), and they all belong to God’s family. [As a result, Christ] gladly [LIT] proclaims them to be [like] his own brothers [and sisters].
12 Ijova, “Nipulisiagha ilitavua lyako kuva nyalukolo vango, nikwimbagha vwimila uve kuhuma munkate mu lipugha.”.
[The Psalmist wrote what Christ said to God about us becoming] his brothers, in these words: I will proclaim to my brothers how awesome you are (OR, what you ([are like/have done])) [MTY]. I will sing praise to you in the presence of the congregation!
13 Kange akatisagha, “Ninoghelue mwa mwene.” kange, “Lolagha, apa nili navaana vano u Nguluve amelile.”
And a prophet wrote [in] another [Scripture passage what Christ said about God], I will trust him. And in another [Scripture passage, Christ said about those who are like his] children, I and the ones that God has given me are here.
14 Pa uluo, ulwakuva avaanha vooni ava Nguluve vihanga um'bili ni danda, naju Yesu alya hangile ifini vulevule, ulwakuti kukilila uvufue ulwakuuti am'benapule jula unyavutavulilua vwa vufue, juno ghwe setano.
So, since those [whom God calls his] children are all human beings [MTY], Jesus also became a human being [just like them]. The devil has the power to cause people [to be afraid] to die, but Christ became human in order that by his dying he might make the devil powerless.
15 Ulu lulyale anala neke avavike mu vwavuke vala vooni vano vikilila inganighanibsa vufue vakikalile amikalile ghavanave ghalyale muvukami.
[Jesus did that] to free all of us who are like slaves [MET] all the time we live, because we are [forced to] be afraid to die.
16 Isa kyang'haani naghwe nyamola juno ikuvatanga. Pa uluo, ikuvatanga avaholua va Abraham.
Because [Jesus became a human being], it is not angels whom he wants to help. No, it is we who trust God as Abraham did whom he wants to help.
17 Pa uluo, jilighanilue umwene ave ndavule avanyalukolo va mwene mu sila soni, neke ava n'tekesi m'baha unyalusungu nu lwutiko ku fiiniu ifya Nguluve, neke kuti avwesie ningufu sa kuhumia inyisaghilo mu nyivi sa vaanhu.
So, [since he came to help humans, not angels], he had to be made exactly like [us whom he calls] his own brothers [and sisters]. He wants to be a Supreme Priest who [acts] mercifully [to all people] and who faithfully does what God wants, so that people who had sinned would be declared no longer guilty.
18 Ulwakuva u Yesu jujuo apumuike, na kuggelua, ali ningufu sa kuvatanga vano vighelua.
[Specifically], he is able to help those/us who are tempted [to sin]. He can do that because he suffered, and he was also tempted [to sin like we are tempted to sin].
