Hebrews 2
1 For this reason, it is necessary for us to observe more thoroughly the things that we have heard, lest we let them slip away.
Por tanto, tenemos que poner mucha más atención a lo que se oyó, no sea que nos deslicemos.
2 For if a word that was spoken through the Angels has been made firm, and every transgression and disobedience has received the recompense of a just retribution,
Si la palabra hablada por medio de ángeles fue firme, y toda transgresión y desobediencia recibió justo castigo,
3 in what way might we escape, if we neglect such a great salvation? For though initially it had begun to be described by the Lord, it was confirmed among us by those who heard him,
¿cómo escaparemos nosotros si menospreciamos una salvación tan grande? Ésta fue proclamada al principio por el Señor y nos fue confirmada por los que oyeron,
4 with God testifying to it by signs and wonders, and by various miracles, and by the pouring out of the Holy Spirit, in accord with his own will.
y Dios testificó al mismo tiempo con señales, prodigios, diversos milagros y repartimientos del Espíritu Santo según su voluntad.
5 For God did not subject the future world, about which we are speaking, to the Angels.
Porque [Dios] no sometió a [los] ángeles el mundo venidero del cual hablamos.
6 But someone, in a certain place, has testified, saying: “What is man, that you are mindful of him, or the Son of man, that you visit him?
Pero alguien testificó en cierto lugar: ¿Qué es [el] hombre para que te acuerdes de él, O [el] hijo de hombre para que lo visites?
7 You have reduced him to a little less than the Angels. You have crowned him with glory and honor, and you have set him over the works of your hands.
Lo hiciste un poco menor que [los] ángeles. Lo coronaste de esplendor y de honor.
8 You have subjected all things under his feet.” For in as much as he has subjected all things to him, he has left nothing not subject to him. But in the present time, we do not yet perceive that all things have been made subject to him.
Todo lo sometiste debajo de sus pies. Porque al sujetarle todas las cosas, nada dejó no sometido a Él. Pero aún no vemos todas las cosas sujetas a Él.
9 Yet we understand that Jesus, who was reduced to a little less than the Angels, was crowned with glory and honor because of his Passion and death, in order that, by the grace of God, he might taste death for all.
Pero vemos a Jesús, Quien fue un poco menor que [los] ángeles, coronado de gloria y honor por cuanto padeció la muerte, para que por la gracia de Dios se sometiera a [la] muerte por todos.
10 For it was fitting for him, because of whom and through whom all things exist, who had led many children into glory, to complete the authorship of their salvation through his Passion.
Porque convenía a [Dios], por cuya causa y por medio de Quien son todas las cosas, Quien condujo a muchos hijos a [la] gloria, perfeccionar al Autor de la salvación de ellos por medio de padecimientos.
11 For he who sanctifies, and those who are sanctified, are all from One. For this reason, he is not ashamed to call them brothers, saying:
Porque el que santifica y los santificados son todos de un [Padre], por lo cual no se avergüenza de llamarlos hermanos
12 “I will announce your name to my brothers. In the midst of the Church, I will praise you.”
cuando dijo: Anunciaré tu Nombre a mis hermanos. En medio de [la ]congregación te cantaré alabanza.
13 And again: “I will be faithful in him.” And again: “Behold, I and my children, whom God has given to me.”
Otra vez: Yo pondré mi confianza en Él. Y otra vez: Aquí estoy Yo con los niños que Dios me dio.
14 Therefore, because children have a common flesh and blood, he himself also, in like manner, has shared in the same, so that through death, he might destroy him who held the dominion of death, that is, the devil,
Así que, por cuanto los hijos participaron de sangre y carne, de igual manera Él mismo también participó de las mismas, para destruir por medio de [la] muerte y reducir a la impotencia al que tiene el poder de la muerte, es decir, al diablo,
15 and so that he might free those who, through the fear of death, had been condemned to servitude throughout their entire life.
y librar a los que estaban sometidos a esclavitud toda la vida por temor a la muerte.
16 For at no time did he take hold of the Angels, but instead he took hold of the offspring of Abraham.
Ciertamente no socorrió a [los] ángeles, sino socorrió a [la] descendencia de Abraham.
17 Therefore, it is fitting for him to be made similar to his brothers in all things, so that he might become a merciful and faithful High Priest before God, in order that he might bring forgiveness to the offenses of the people.
Por lo cual [Jesús] debía ser semejante a sus hermanos en todo, para que también fuera un Sumo Sacerdote misericordioso y fiel delante de Dios, a fin de apaciguarlo por los pecados del pueblo.
18 For in as much as he himself has suffered and has been tempted, he also is able to assist those who are tempted.
Pues por cuanto Él mismo padeció al ser tentado, puede compadecerse de los que son probados.
