| 2 | For if the word announced through angels proved firm, and every transgression and disobedience received its just recompense, | 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 | how shall we escape if we ignore so great a salvation? Announced originally through the Lord, it was confirmed for us by those who had heard. | 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. | |

| 5 | For it was not to angels that he subjected the world to come, of which we are speaking. | 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 | Instead, someone has testified somewhere: “What is man that you are mindful of him, or the son of man that you care for 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 made him for a little while lower than the angels; you crowned him with glory and honor, | 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 | subjecting all things under his feet.” In “subjecting” all things [to him], he left nothing not “subject to him.” Yet at present we do not see “all things 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 | but we do see Jesus “crowned with glory and honor” because he suffered death, he who “for a little while” was made “lower than the angels,” that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone. | 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 that he, for whom and through whom all things exist, in bringing many children to glory, should make the leader to their salvation perfect through suffering. | 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 | He who consecrates and those who are being consecrated all have one origin. Therefore, he is not ashamed to call them “brothers,” | 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 will proclaim your name to my brothers, in the midst of the assembly 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 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, “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 | Now since the children share in blood and flesh, he likewise shared in them, that through death he might destroy the one who has the power 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 free those who through fear of death had been subject to slavery all their 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 | Surely he did not help angels but rather the descendants 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, he had to become like his brothers in every way, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest before God to expiate the sins 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. | |
