< Hebrews 2 >

1 Nítorí náà, ó yẹ kí àwa máa fi iyè sí àwọn nǹkan wọ̀n-ọn-nì gidigidi tí àwa ti gbọ́, kí a má ba à gbá wa lọ kúrò nínú wọn nígbà kan.
For this reason we must pay the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, for fear we should drift away.
2 Nítorí bí ọ̀rọ̀ tí a tí ẹnu àwọn angẹli sọ bá sì dúró ṣinṣin, àti tí olúkúlùkù ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ sí òfin àti àìgbọ́ràn gba ìjìyà tí ó tọ́ sí i,
For if the word uttered through angels stood firm, so that every transgression and act of disobedience met with its just retribution, how shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation?
3 kín ni ohun náà tí ó mú wa lérò pé a lè bọ́ kúrò nínú ìjìyà bí a kò bá náání ìgbàlà ńlá yìí? Ìgbàlà tí Olúwa fúnra rẹ̀ kọ́kọ́ kéde, èyí tí a sì fi ìdí rẹ̀ múlẹ̀ fún wa láti ọwọ́ àwọn tí ó gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ náà lẹ́nu rẹ̀.
Which having begun to be spoken by the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard him;
4 Ọlọ́run jẹ́rìí sí i nípa àwọn iṣẹ́ àmì àti ìyanu àti oríṣìíríṣìí iṣẹ́ agbára àti nípa ẹ̀bùn Ẹ̀mí Mímọ́ tí a pín gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìfẹ́ rẹ̀.
God himself corroborating their testimony by signs and wonders and a variety of miraculous powers, and by gifts of the Holy Spirit imparted in accordance with his own will.
5 Nítorí pé, kì í ṣe abẹ́ ìṣàkóso àwọn angẹli ni ó fi ayé tí ń bọ̀, tí àwa ń sọ̀rọ̀ rẹ̀ sí.
It is not to angels that God subjected the age to be, of which we are speaking.
6 Ṣùgbọ́n ibìkan wà tí ẹnìkan tí jẹ́rìí pé “Kí ni ènìyàn tí ìwọ fi ń ṣe ìrántí rẹ̀, tàbí ọmọ ènìyàn, tí ìwọ fi ń bẹ̀ ẹ́ wò?
But some one, somewhere, testified, saying. What is Man, that thou art mindful of him? Or any man, that thou carest for him?
7 Ìwọ dá a ní onírẹ̀lẹ̀ díẹ̀ ju àwọn angẹli lọ; ìwọ fi ògo àti ọlá de e ni adé, ìwọ sì fi í jẹ olórí iṣẹ́ ọwọ́ rẹ,
Thou hast made him only a little lower that the angels; With glory and honor hast thou crowned him; And hast set him to govern the works of thy hands;
8 Ìwọ fi ohun gbogbo sábẹ́ ẹsẹ̀ rẹ̀.” Ní ti fífi ohun gbogbo sábẹ́ rẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n àwa kò ì tí ì rí ohun kan tí ó kù tí kò sí ní abẹ́ àkóso rẹ̀. Síbẹ̀ nísinsin yìí àwa kò ì tí ì rí pé ó fi ohun gbogbo sábẹ́ ìṣàkóso rẹ̀.
Thou hast put all things under his feet. For this putting all things under man means leaving nothing not subject to him. But we do not yet see all things subject to him.
9 Ṣùgbọ́n àwa rí Jesu ẹni tí a rẹ̀ sílẹ̀ díẹ̀ ju àwọn angẹli lọ fún àkókò díẹ̀, àní Jesu, ẹni tí a fi ògo àti ọlá dé ní adé nítorí ìjìyà wa; kí ó lè tọ́ ikú wò fún olúkúlùkù ènìyàn nípa oore-ọ̀fẹ́ Ọlọ́run.
What we do see is Jesus, who was made for a time a little lower than the angels, now crowned with glory and honor, because of the suffering of death, in order that through God’s grace he might taste death for every man.
10 Nítorí pé ó yẹ fún Ọlọ́run, nítorí nípasẹ̀ ẹni tí ohun gbogbo ṣẹ̀ wà, láti mú àwọn ọmọ púpọ̀ wá sínú ògo, láti ṣe balógun ìgbàlà wọn ni àṣepé nípa ìjìyà.
For it befitted him, for whom and through whom all things exist, in bringing many sons to glory, to make the Pioneer of their salvation perfect through sufferings.
11 Nítorí àti ẹni tí ń sọ ni di mímọ́ àti àwọn tí a ń sọ di mímọ́, láti ọ̀dọ̀ ẹnìkan ṣoṣo ni gbogbo wọn ti wá, nítorí èyí ni kò ṣe tijú láti pè wọ́n ni arákùnrin.
For both he who sanctifies and those whom he is sanctifying are all from One; for which reason he is not ashamed to call them brothers, saying.
12 Àti wí pé, “Èmi ó sọ̀rọ̀ orúkọ rẹ̀ fún àwọn ará mi, ni àárín ìjọ ni èmi yóò kọrin ìyìn rẹ̀.”
I will proclaim thy name to my brothers; In the midst of the Church I will hymn thy praises.
13 Àti pẹ̀lú, “Èmi yóò gbẹ́kẹ̀ mi lé e.” Àti pẹ̀lú, “Kíyèsi í, èmi rèé, èmi àti àwọn ọmọ tí Ọlọ́run fi fún mi.”
And again, I myself will put my trust in God. And again, Lo, I and the children God has given me.
14 Ǹjẹ́ ni ìwọ̀n bí àwọn ọmọ tí ṣe alábápín ará àti ẹ̀jẹ̀, bẹ́ẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ ni òun pẹ̀lú sì ṣe alábápín nínú ohun kan náà; kí ó lè ti ipa ikú rẹ̀ pa ẹni tí ó ní agbára ikú run, èyí ni èṣù.
Therefore, since the children are sharers in flesh and blood, he also similarly partook of the same, in order that through death he might render powerless him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;
15 Kí o sì lè gba gbogbo àwọn tí ó tìtorí ìbẹ̀rù ikú wà lábẹ́ ìdè lọ́jọ́ ayé wọn gbogbo kúrò lọ́wọ́ ìbẹ̀rù.
And might deliver those who through fear of death had been subject to life-long bondage.
16 Nítorí pé, nítòótọ́, kì í ṣe àwọn angẹli ni ó ṣe ìrànlọ́wọ́ fún, ṣùgbọ́n àwọn irú-ọmọ Abrahamu ni ó ṣe ìrànlọ́wọ́ fún.
For assuredly it is not angels, nay, it is the offspring of Abraham, whom he is ever taking by the hand.
17 Nítorí náà, ó yẹ pé nínú ohun gbogbo kí ó dàbí àwọn ará rẹ̀, kí ó lè jẹ́ aláàánú àti olóòtítọ́ alábojútó Àlùfáà nínú ohun tí i ṣe ti Ọlọ́run, kí o lè ṣe ètùtù fún ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ àwọn ènìyàn.
And so it was necessary that he should in all points be made like his brothers, so that he might become a compassionate and faithful high priest, in all that relates to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.
18 Nítorí níwọ̀n bí òun tìkára rẹ̀ ti jìyà tí a sì ti dán an wò, òun ní agbára láti ran àwọn tí a ń dánwò lọ́wọ́.
For inasmuch as he himself has suffered, being tempted, he is also able instantly to succor those who are tempted, he is also able instantly to succor those who are tempted.
