1 Wherfore we ought to geue the more earnest heede to the thynges which we haue heard, lest at any tyme we should let them slippe. Therefore we must pay much closer attention to what we have heard, lest we drift away from it. We must pay the most careful attention, therefore, to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away.
2 For yf the worde spoken by Angels, was stedfast: And euery transgression and disobedience receaued a iust recompense of rewarde: For since the message declared by angels proved to be reliable, and every transgression or disobedience received a just retribution, For since the message spoken through angels was binding, and every violation and disobedience received its just punishment,
3 Howe shall we escape, yf we neglect so great saluation? which at the first began to be preached of the Lorde, and was confirmed vnto vswarde, by them that hearde it: how shall we escape if we neglect such a great salvation? It was declared at first by the Lord, and it was attested to us by those who heard, how shall we escape if we ignore so great a salvation? This salvation, which was first announced by the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard him.
4 God bearyng witnesse therto both with signes & wonders also, and with diuers powers and gyftes of the holy ghost, accordyng to his owne wyll. while God also bore witness by signs and wonders and various miracles and by gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to his will. God also testified to it by signs, wonders and various miracles, and by gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to his will.
5 For vnto the Anges hath he not put in subiection the worlde to come, wherof we speake. For it was not to angels that God subjected the world to come, of which we are speaking. It is not to angels that he has subjected the world to come, about which we are speaking.
6 But one in a certayne place witnessed, saying: What is man, that thou arte myndeful of hym? Or the sonne of man, that thou wouldest loke vpon hym? It has been testified somewhere, “What is man, that you are mindful of him, or the son of man, that you care for him? But there is a place where someone has testified: “What is mankind that you are mindful of them, a son of man that you care for him?
7 Thou madest hym for a litle whyle lower then the Angels, thou hast crowned him with glorie and honour, and hast set hym aboue the workes of thy handes. You made him for a little while lower than the angels; you have crowned him with glory and honor, You made them a little lower than the angels; you crowned them with glory and honor
8 Thou hast put all thynges in subiectio vnder his feete. In yt he put all thinges vnder hym, he left nothyng that is not put vnder hym. But nowe, we see not yet all thynges put vnder hym. putting everything in subjection under his feet.” Now in putting everything in subjection to him, he left nothing outside his control. At present, we do not yet see everything in subjection to him. and put everything under their feet.” In putting everything under them, God left nothing that is not subject to them. Yet at present we do not see everything subject to them.
9 But hym that for a whyle was made lesse then the Angels, we see that it was Iesus, who through the sufferyng of death, was crowned with glorie and honour, that he by the grace of God, shoulde taste of death for all. But we see him who for a little while was made lower than the angels, namely Jesus, crowned with glory and honor because of the suffering of death, so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone. But we do see Jesus, who was made lower than the angels for a little while, now crowned with glory and honor because he suffered death, so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone.
10 For it became hym, for whom are all thynges, and by whom are all thynges, after he had brought many sonnes vnto glorie, that he shoulde make the capitayne of their saluation perfect through afflictions. For it was fitting that he, for whom and by whom all things exist, in bringing many sons to glory, should make the founder of their salvation perfect through suffering. In bringing many sons and daughters to glory, it was fitting that God, for whom and through whom everything exists, should make the pioneer of their salvation perfect through what he suffered.
11 For both he that sanctifieth, and they which are sanctified, are all of one. For which cause, he is not ashamed to call them brethren, For he who sanctifies and those who are sanctified all have one source. That is why he is not ashamed to call them brothers, Both the one who makes people holy and those who are made holy are of the same family. So Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers and sisters.
12 Saying: I wyll declare thy name vnto my brethren, in the myddes of the Churche wyll I prayse thee. saying, “I will tell of your name to my brothers; in the midst of the congregation I will sing your praise.” He says, “I will declare your name to my brothers and sisters; in the assembly I will sing your praises.”
13 And agayne: I wyll put my trust in hym. And agayne: Beholde here am I, and the chyldren whiche God hath geuen me. And again, “I will put my trust in him.” And again, “Behold, I and the children God has given me.” And again, “I will put my trust in him.” And again he says, “Here am I, and the children God has given me.”
14 Forasmuch then as the chyldren are partakers of flesshe and blood, he also hym selfe lykewyse toke part with the, that through death he myght expell hym that had lordship ouer death, that is the deuyll: Since therefore the children share in flesh and blood, he himself likewise partook of the same things, that through death he might destroy the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil, Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might break the power of him who holds the power of death—that is, the devil—
15 And that he myght delyuer them, which through feare of death, were all their lyfe tyme in daunger of bondage. and deliver all those who through fear of death were subject to lifelong slavery. and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death.
16 For he in no place taketh on hym the Angels: but the seede of Abraham taketh he on hym. For surely it is not angels that he helps, but he helps the offspring of Abraham. For surely it is not angels he helps, but Abraham’s descendants.
17 Wherfore, in all thinges it became him to be made lyke vnto his brethren, that he myght be mercyfull, and a faythfull hye priest in thynges concernyng God, for to purge the peoples sinnes. Therefore he had to be made like his brothers in every respect, so that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in the service of God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people. For this reason he had to be made like them, fully human in every way, in order that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, and that he might make atonement for the sins of the people.
18 For in that he hym selfe suffered and was tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted. For because he himself has suffered when tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted. Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.
