Hebrews 2

1 Therefore we ought to pay greater attention to the things that were heard, lest perhaps we drift away.

Na, ko te tikanga tenei, kia kaha ake to tatou whakaaro ki nga mea kua rangona, kei pahuhu atu i a tatou.

2 For if the word spoken through angels proved steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just penalty,

Mehemea hoki te kupu i whakapuakina e nga anahera he pumau, a he tika tonu te utu i whakahokia mo nga pokanga ketanga katoa, mo nga mahi tutu;

3 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,

Me pehea ka mawhiti ai tatou ki te paopao tatou ki tenei ora nui; i timataia nei te korero e te Ariki, a kua whakaukia mai ki a tatou e te hunga i rangona ai;

4 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?

Me te whakaatu ano te Atua ki ta ratou, i runga i nga tohu, i nga mea whakamiharo, i tona tini o nga merekara, i nga tuwhanga mai ano hoki o te Wairua Tapu, he pera ano me tana i pai ai.

5 For he didn’t subject the world to come, of which we speak, to angels.

Kahore hoki i waiho e ia ki raro i nga anahera te ao meake nei puta, ta matou e korero nei.

6 But one has somewhere testified, saying, “What is man, that you think of him? Or the son of man, that you care for him?

Heoi i whakaaturia mai e tetahi i tetahi wahi, i mea mai, He aha te tangata, i mahara ai koe ki a ia? te tama ranei a te tangata, i tirohia ai ia e koe?

7 You made him a little lower than the angels. You crowned him with glory and honor.

Nohinohi nei te whai i whakaititia iho ai ia e koe i nga anahera; kua karaunatia ia e koe ki te kororia, ki te honore, kua waiho ano ia e koe hei rangatira mo nga mahi a ou ringa:

8 You have put all things in subjection under his feet.” For in that he subjected all things to him, he left nothing that is not subject to him. But now we don’t yet see all things subjected to him.

Kua waiho nei e koe nga mea katoa ki raro i ona waewae. Na, i nga mea katoa ka waiho nei i raro i a ia, kahore i mahue tetahi mea kihai nei i waiho i raro i a ia. Otira kahore ano tatou kia kite noa i nga mea katoa kua oti te waiho i raro i a ia.

9 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.

Ka kite raia tatou i a Ihu, he nohinohi nei te wahi i whakaititia iho ai ia i nga anahera ka oti nei te karauna ki te kororia, ki te honore, i muri nei i tona ngaunga e te mate; he meatanga na to te Atua aroha noa kia pangia ia e te mate mo nga t angata katoa.

10 For it became him, for whom are all things and through whom are all things, in bringing many children to glory, to make the author of their salvation perfect through sufferings.

Ko tana tikanga tika hoki ia, mana nei nga mea katoa, nana ano hoki nga mea katoa i a ia e arahi ana i nga tama tokomaha ki te kororia, kia waiho nga mamae hei mea e tino rite ai te Take o to ratou whakaoranga.

11 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,

Ko te kaiwhakatapu hoki, ratou ko te hunga e whakatapua ana, no te pu kotahi ratou katoa: koia ia te whakama ai ki te hua i a ratou he teina;

12 saying, “I will declare your name to my brothers. Among the congregation I will sing your praise.”

E mea nei ia, Maku e korero tou ingoa ki oku teina; ka himene atu ahau ki a koe i waenganui o te whakaminenga.

13 Again, “I will put my trust in him.” Again, “Behold, here I am with the children whom God has given me.”

Me tenei ano hoki, Ka u pu ahau ki a ia. Me tenei ano, Nana, ahau nei me nga tamariki i homai e te Atua ki ahau.

14 Since then the children have shared in flesh and blood, he also himself in the same way partook of the same, that through death he might bring to nothing him who had the power of death, that is, the devil,

Na, kei nga tamariki he kikokiko, he toto, koia hoki ia i whakawhiwhia ai ano hoki ki aua mea; kia ai ai tona matenga hei whakakahore mo te rangatira o te mate, ara mo te rewera;

15 and might deliver all of them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.

Kia whakaputaina mai ai hoki e ia ki waho te hunga i meinga e te wehi o te mate hei taurekareka i nga wa katoa i ora ai ratou.

16 For most certainly, he doesn’t give help to angels, but he gives help to the offspring of Abraham.

Kihai hoki ia i mau ki nga anahera; engari i mau ia ki te uri o Aperahama.

17 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.

Na konei i tika ai kia whakaritea ia ki ona teina i nga mea katoa, kia waiho ai ia hei tohunga nui e atawhai ana, e pono ana i nga meatanga ki te Atua, hei whakamarie mo nga hara o te iwi.

18 For in that he himself has suffered being tempted, he is able to help those who are tempted.

I te mea hoki ka whakamatautauria ia, a mamae iho, e taea e ia te awhina te hunga e whakamatautauria ana.
