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 es menester que con más diligencia atendamos á las cosas que hemos oido, porque no nos escurramos.
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,
Porque si la palabra dicha por [el ministerio] de los ángeles fué firme, y toda rebelion y desobediencia recibió justa paga de retribucion,
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 escaparémos nosotros, si tuviéremos en poco una salud tan grande? La cual, habiendo comenzado á ser publicada por el Señor, ha sido confirmada hasta nosotros por los que [le] 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.
Testificando juntamente [con ellos] Dios con señales y milagros, y diversas maravillas, y repartimientos del Espíritu Santo segun su voluntad.
5 For God did not subject the future world, about which we are speaking, to the Angels.
Porque no sujetó á 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?
Testificó empero uno, en cierto lugar, diciendo: ¿Qué es el hombre que te acuerdas de él? ¿ó el hijo del hombre, que le visitas?
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.
Tú le hiciste un poco menor que los ángeles, coronástele de gloria y de honra, y pusístele sobre las obras de tus manos:
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.
Todas las cosas sujetaste debajo de sus piés. Porque en cuanto le sujetó todas las cosas, nada dejó que no sea sujeto á él. Mas aun no vemos que todas las cosas le sean sujetas.
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.
Empero vemos coronado de gloria y de honra, por el padecimiento de muerte, á aquel Jesus que es hecho un poco menor que los ángeles, para que por gracia de Dios gustase 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 convenia, que aquel por cuya causa [son] todas las cosas, y por el cual todas las cosas [subsisten, ] habiendo de llevar á [su] gloria á muchos hijos, hiciese consumado por aflicciones al autor de la salud de ellos.
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 que son santificados, de uno [son] todos: 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.”
Diciendo: Anunciare á mis hermanos tu nombre, en medio de la congregacion te alabaré.
13 And again: “I will be faithful in him.” And again: “Behold, I and my children, whom God has given to me.”
Y otra vez: Yo confiaré en él. Y otra vez: Hé aquí yo y los hijos que me dió Dios.
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 carne y sangre, él tambien participó de lo mismo, para destruir por la muerte al que tenia el imperio de la muerte, es á saber, 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 á los que por el temor de la muerte estaban por toda la vida sujetos á servidumbre.
16 For at no time did he take hold of the Angels, but instead he took hold of the offspring of Abraham.
Porque ciertamente no tomó á los ángeles, sino á la simiente de Abraham tomó.
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 debia ser en todo semejante á los hermanos, para venir á ser misericordioso y fiel Pontífice en lo que es para con Dios, para expiar 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.
Porque en cuanto él mismo padeció, siendo tentado, es poderoso para [tambien] socorrer á los que son tentados.
