ibriṇaḥ 2

1 ato vayaṁ yad bhramasrotasā nāpanīyāmahe tadarthamasmābhi ryadyad aśrāvi tasmin manāṁsi nidhātavyāni|

Therefore we ought to pay greater attention to the things that were heard, so that we will not drift away.

2 yato heto dūtaiḥ kathitaṁ vākyaṁ yadyamogham abhavad yadi ca tallaṅghanakāriṇe tasyāgrāhakāya ca sarvvasmai samucitaṁ daṇḍam adīyata,

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

3 tarhyasmābhistādṛśaṁ mahāparitrāṇam avajñāya kathaṁ rakṣā prāpsyate, yat prathamataḥ prabhunā proktaṁ tato'smān yāvat tasya śrotṛbhiḥ sthirīkṛtaṁ,

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;

4 aparaṁ lakṣaṇairadbhutakarmmabhi rvividhaśaktiprakāśena nijecchātaḥ pavitrasyātmano vibhāgena ca yad īśvareṇa pramāṇīkṛtam abhūt|

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?

5 vayaṁ tu yasya bhāvirājyasya kathāṁ kathayāmaḥ, tat ten divyadūtānām adhīnīkṛtamiti nahi|

For he did not subject the world to come, of which we speak, to angels.

6 kintu kutrāpi kaścit pramāṇam īdṛśaṁ dattavān, yathā, "kiṁ vastu mānavo yat sa nityaṁ saṁsmaryyate tvayā| kiṁ vā mānavasantāno yat sa ālocyate tvayā|

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

7 divyadatagaṇebhyaḥ sa kiñcin nyūnaḥ kṛtastvayā| tejogauravarūpeṇa kirīṭena vibhūṣitaḥ| sṛṣṭaṁ yat te karābhyāṁ sa tatprabhutve niyojitaḥ|

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

8 caraṇādhaśca tasyaiva tvayā sarvvaṁ vaśīkṛtaṁ||" tena sarvvaṁ yasya vaśīkṛtaṁ tasyāvaśībhūtaṁ kimapi nāvaśeṣitaṁ kintvadhunāpi vayaṁ sarvvāṇi tasya vaśībhūtāni na paśyāmaḥ|

You have put all things in subjection under his feet." For in that he put all things under him, he left nothing that is not under him. But now we do not yet see that all things are under him.

9 tathāpi divyadūtagaṇebhyo yaḥ kiñcin nyūnīkṛto'bhavat taṁ yīśuṁ mṛtyubhogahetostejogauravarūpeṇa kirīṭena vibhūṣitaṁ paśyāmaḥ, yata īśvarasyānugrahāt sa sarvveṣāṁ kṛte mṛtyum asvadata|

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.

10 aparañca yasmai yena ca kṛtsnaṁ vastu sṛṣṭaṁ vidyate bahusantānānāṁ vibhavāyānayanakāle teṣāṁ paritrāṇāgrasarasya duḥkhabhogena siddhīkaraṇamapi tasyopayuktam abhavat|

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

11 yataḥ pāvakaḥ pūyamānāśca sarvve ekasmādevotpannā bhavanti, iti hetoḥ sa tān bhrātṛn vadituṁ na lajjate|

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,

12 tena sa uktavān, yathā, "dyotayiṣyāmi te nāma bhrātṛṇāṁ madhyato mama| parantu samite rmadhye kariṣye te praśaṁsanaṁ||"

saying, "I will declare your name to my brothers. In the midst of the assembly I will praise you."

13 punarapi, yathā, "tasmin viśvasya sthātāhaṁ|" punarapi, yathā, "paśyāham apatyāni ca dattāni mahyam īśvarāt|"

And again, "I will put my trust in him." And again, "Look, I and the children whom God has given me."

14 teṣām apatyānāṁ rudhirapalalaviśiṣṭatvāt so'pi tadvat tadviśiṣṭo'bhūt tasyābhiprāyo'yaṁ yat sa mṛtyubalādhikāriṇaṁ śayatānaṁ mṛtyunā balahīnaṁ kuryyāt

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

15 ye ca mṛtyubhayād yāvajjīvanaṁ dāsatvasya nighnā āsan tān uddhārayet|

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

16 sa dūtānām upakārī na bhavati kintvibrāhīmo vaṁśasyaivopakārī bhavatī|

For, truly, he did not come to help the angels, but to help the offspring of Abraham.

17 ato hetoḥ sa yathā kṛpāvān prajānāṁ pāpaśodhanārtham īśvaroddeśyaviṣaye viśvāsyo mahāyājako bhavet tadarthaṁ sarvvaviṣaye svabhrātṛṇāṁ sadṛśībhavanaṁ tasyocitam āsīt|

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.

18 yataḥ sa svayaṁ parīkṣāṁ gatvā yaṁ duḥkhabhogam avagatastena parīkṣākrāntān upakarttuṁ śaknoti|

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