Hebrews 2

1 Because of this it behooves more abundantly to give heed us to the [things] we have heard, otherwise otherwise (we may drift away. *N+kO)

We must pay closer attention, therefore, to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away.

2 If for the through angels having been spoken word was unalterable, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense,

For if the message spoken by angels was binding, and every transgression and disobedience received its just punishment,

3 how we ourselves will escape such a great having neglected a salvation? which a commencement having received declaring through the Lord by those having heard to us it was confirmed

how shall we escape if we neglect such a great salvation? This salvation was first announced by the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard Him,

4 bearing witness God by signs together with [them] and by wonders and by various miracles and of [the] Spirit Holy by distributions according to the of Him will.

and was affirmed by God through signs, wonders, various miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to His will.

5 Not for to angels did He subject the world which is coming concerning which we are speaking;

For it is not to angels that He has subjected the world to come, about which we are speaking.

6 Has testified however somewhere someone saying; What is man that You are mindful of him or [the] son of man that You care for him?

But somewhere it is testified in these words: “What is man that You are mindful of him, or the son of man that You care for him?

7 You made lower him a little some than [the] angels; with glory and with honor You crowned him (and you appointed him upon the works of hands of you; *KO)

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

8 all things You have put in subjection under the feet of him. In for subjecting to him all things no [thing] He left to him unsubject; At present however not yet do we see to Him all things subjected.

and placed everything under his feet.” When God subjected all things to him, He left nothing outside of his control. Yet at present we do not see everything subject to him.

9 Who however a little one than [the] angels made lower we see Jesus because of the suffering of death with glory and with honor crowned, so that (by [the] grace *NK+O) of God for everyone He may taste death.

But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, now crowned with glory and honor because He suffered death, so that by the grace of God He might taste death for everyone.

10 It was fitting for to Him, for whom [are] all things and through whom [are] all things, many sons to glory having brought, the archetype of the salvation of them through sufferings to make perfect.

In bringing many sons to glory, it was fitting for God, for whom and through whom all things exist, to make the author of their salvation perfect through suffering.

11 The [One] both for sanctifying and those being sanctified of one [are] all; for which reason not He is ashamed brothers them to call

For both the One who sanctifies and those who are sanctified are of the same family. So Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers.

12 saying: I will declare the name of You to the brothers of Mine, in [the] midst of [the] congregation I will sing praises of you.

He says: “I will proclaim Your name to My brothers; I will sing Your praises in the assembly.”

13 And again: I myself will be already trusting in Him. And again: Behold I myself and the children whom to Me has given God.

And again: “I will put My trust in Him.” And once again: “Here am I, and the children God has given Me.”

14 Since therefore the children have partaken of blood and of flesh also He himself likewise took part in the same things, so that through [His] death He may destroy the [one] the power holding of death, That is the devil,

Now since the children have flesh and blood, He too shared in their humanity, so that by His death He might destroy him who holds the power of death, that is, the devil,

15 and may set free those as many as fear of death through all [times] of them to live subject they were to slavery.

and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death.

16 Not for surely somewhere surely somewhere [the] angels He helps, but [the] seed of Abraham He helps.

For surely it is not the angels He helps, but the descendants of Abraham.

17 Therefore it was necessary in all things [His] brothers to be made like, so that a merciful He may become and faithful high priest [in] [things] relating to God in order to make propitiation for the sins of the people.

For this reason He had to be made like His brothers in every way, so that He might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, in order to make atonement for the sins of the people.

18 In that for has suffered He Himself having been tempted, He is able those being tempted to help.

Because He Himself suffered when He was tempted, He is able to help those who are being tempted.
