< Hebrews 2 >

1 So, [since that is true], we must pay very careful attention to what we have heard [about God’s Son], in order that we do not drift away from it, [as a boat drifts off its course when people do not guide it] [MET].
Тога ради ваља нам већма пазити на речи које слушамо, да како не отпаднемо.
2 [God’s laws that] were given by angels were valid, and God justly punished all who rejected them and all who disobeyed [DOU] them.
Јер ако је оно што је говорено преко анђела утврђено, и сваки преступак и оглушак праведну плату примио:
3 So, we will certainly not escape [God punishing us] if we ignore such a great [message about how God] [MTY] saves us! [RHQ] This [new message] was first spoken by the Lord [Jesus] {The Lord [Jesus] first spoke this [message]}. Then it was confirmed to us by those who heard [what the Lord told them] {those who heard [what the Lord told them] confirmed it to us}.
Како ћемо побећи на маривши за толико спасење? Које поче Господ проповедати, и они који су чули потврдише међу нама,
4 God also confirmed to us [that this message was true] by [enabling believers to do] many things that showed God’s power, to do other miraculous things [DOU], and [to do other things] by the gifts that the Holy Spirit distributed to them according to what [God] desired.
Кад и Бог посведочи и знацима и чудесима и различитим силама, и Духа Светог раздељивањем по својој вољи.
5 God has determined that the angels will not rule over everything. [Instead, he has determined that Christ] will rule in the new world that [God] will [create]. [That is the new world] about which I am writing.
Јер Бог не покори анђелима васиони свет, који иде и о коме говоримо.
6 Someone spoke to [God about this] somewhere [in the Scriptures], saying, (No one is worthy enough for you to think about him!/Who is [worthy enough] for you to think about him?) [RHQ] (No human is [worthy enough] for you to care for him!/Is any human [worthy enough] for you to care for him?) [RHQ]
Али неко посведочи негде говорећи: Шта је човек да га се опоменеш, или син човечији да га обиђеш?
7 [So it is surprising that] you have caused people to be for a little while inferior in rank to angels. You have greatly honored [DOU] them [MET], as [kings are honored with] a crown.
Умалио си га малим нечим од анђела, славом и части венчао си га, и поставио си га над делима руку својих:
8 You have put everything under people’s control [MET]. God has determined that people will rule over absolutely everything [LIT]. But now, at this present time, we perceive that people do not yet have authority over everything.
Све си покорио под ноге Његове. А кад Му покори све, ништа не остави Њему непокорено; али сад још не видимо да Му је све покорено.
9 But we do know about Jesus, [who truly has authority over everything]! Hebrews 2:9b-13 Jesus, for a little while, became inferior [in rank] to angels in order to die on behalf of [MET] everyone. He became inferior when he suffered [and] died, as God kindly [planned]. But now he has been greatly [honored] [DOU] [by being] crowned [as kings are].
А умањеног малим чим од анђела видимо Исуса, који је за смрт што поднесе венчан славом и части, да би по благодати Божијој за све окусио смрт.
10 It was fitting that [God] make [Jesus] (perfect/all that God intended him to be). God was enabling many people who would belong to him [MET] to share his glory. God [is the one who] created all things, and [he is the one] for whom all things [exist]. [He perfected Jesus] by causing him to suffer [and die]. [Jesus] is the one whom [God] uses to save people.
Јер приликоваше Њему за ког је све и кроз ког је све, који доведе многе синове у славу, да доврши Поглавара спасења њиховог страдањем.
11 [Jesus] is the one who (makes people holy/sets people apart for God), and they all belong to God’s family. [As a result, Christ] gladly [LIT] proclaims them to be [like] his own brothers [and sisters].
Јер и Онај који освећује, и они који се освећују, сви су од Једног; заради тог узрока не стиди се назвати их браћом
12 [The Psalmist wrote what Christ said to God about us becoming] his brothers, in these words: I will proclaim to my brothers how awesome you are (OR, what you ([are like/have done])) [MTY]. I will sing praise to you in the presence of the congregation!
Говорећи: Објавићу име Твоје браћи својој, и посред цркве запеваћу Те.
13 And a prophet wrote [in] another [Scripture passage what Christ said about God], I will trust him. And in another [Scripture passage, Christ said about those who are like his] children, I and the ones that God has given me are here.
И опет: Ја ћу се у Њега уздати. И опет: Ево ја и деца моја коју ми је дао Бог.
14 So, since those [whom God calls his] children are all human beings [MTY], Jesus also became a human being [just like them]. The devil has the power to cause people [to be afraid] to die, but Christ became human in order that by his dying he might make the devil powerless.
Будући, пак, да деца имају тело и крв, тако и Он узе део у томе, да смрћу сатре оног који има државу смрти, то јест ђавола;
15 [Jesus did that] to free all of us who are like slaves [MET] all the time we live, because we are [forced to] be afraid to die.
И да избави оне који год од страха смрти у свему животу бише робови.
16 Because [Jesus became a human being], it is not angels whom he wants to help. No, it is we who trust God as Abraham did whom he wants to help.
Јер се заиста не примају анђели, него се прима семе Авраамово.
17 So, [since he came to help humans, not angels], he had to be made exactly like [us whom he calls] his own brothers [and sisters]. He wants to be a Supreme Priest who [acts] mercifully [to all people] and who faithfully does what God wants, so that people who had sinned would be declared no longer guilty.
Зато беше дужан у свему да буде као браћа, да буде милостив и веран поглавар свештенички пред Богом, да очисти грехе народне.
18 [Specifically], he is able to help those/us who are tempted [to sin]. He can do that because he suffered, and he was also tempted [to sin like we are tempted to sin].
Јер у чему пострада и искушан би у ономе може помоћи и онима који се искушавају.
