| 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. | 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 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, | 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 | 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, | 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 | 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. | 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 God did not subject the future world, about which we are speaking, to the Angels. | 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 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? | 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 | 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. | 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 | 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. | 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 | 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. | 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 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. | 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 he who sanctifies, and those who are sanctified, are all from One. For this reason, he is not ashamed to call them brothers, saying: | 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 | “I will announce your name to my brothers. In the midst of the Church, I will praise you.” | 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 again: “I will be faithful in him.” And again: “Behold, I and my children, whom God has given to 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 | 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, | 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 so that he might free those who, through the fear of death, had been condemned to servitude throughout their entire life. | 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 at no time did he take hold of the Angels, but instead he took hold of the offspring of Abraham. | 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 | 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. | 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 as much as he himself has suffered and has been tempted, he also is able to assist those who 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. | |
