Hebrews 2 – NIV & CCL

New International Version

Hebrews 2:1-18

Warning to Pay Attention

1We must pay the most careful attention, therefore, to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away. 2For since the message spoken through angels was binding, and every violation and disobedience received its just punishment, 3how 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. 4God also testified to it by signs, wonders and various miracles, and by gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to his will.

Jesus Made Fully Human

5It is not to angels that he has subjected the world to come, about which we are speaking. 6But 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?

7You made them a little2:7 Or them for a little while lower than the angels;

you crowned them with glory and honor

8and put everything under their feet.”2:6-8 Psalm 8:4-62:7,8 Or 7 You made him a little lower than the angels; / you crowned him with glory and honor / 8 and put everything under his feet.”

In putting everything under them,2:8 Or him God left nothing that is not subject to them.2:8 Or him Yet at present we do not see everything subject to them.2:8 Or him 9But 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.

10In 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. 11Both 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.2:11 The Greek word for brothers and sisters (adelphoi) refers here to believers, both men and women, as part of God’s family; also in verse 12; and in 3:1, 12; 10:19; 13:22. 12He says,

“I will declare your name to my brothers and sisters;

in the assembly I will sing your praises.”2:12 Psalm 22:22

13And again,

“I will put my trust in him.”2:13 Isaiah 8:17

And again he says,

“Here am I, and the children God has given me.”2:13 Isaiah 8:18

14Since 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— 15and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death. 16For surely it is not angels he helps, but Abraham’s descendants. 17For this reason he had to be made like them,2:17 Or like his brothers 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. 18Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.

Mawu a Mulungu mu Chichewa Chalero

Ahebri 2:1-18

Kusamalira Chipulumutso

1Nʼchifukwa chake, ife tiyenera kusamalira kwambiri zimene tinamva, kuopa kuti pangʼono ndi pangʼono tingazitaye. 2Popeza uthenga umene unayankhulidwa kudzera mwa angelo unali okhazikika ndithu, choncho aliyense amene ananyozera ndi kusamvera analandira chilango choyenera. 3Nanga ife tidzapulumuka bwanji tikapanda kusamala chipulumutso chachikulu chotere? Ambuye ndiye anayamba kuyankhula za chipulumutsochi, kenaka amenenso anamvawo anatitsimikizira. 4Mulungu anachitiranso umboni pochita zizindikiro, zinthu zodabwitsa ndi zamphamvu zamitundumitundu ndi powapatsa mphatso za Mzimu Woyera monga mwachifuniro chake.

Yesu Wofanana ndi Abale ake

5Mulungu sanapereke kwa angelo ulamuliro wa dziko limene likubwerali, limene ife tikulinena. 6Koma palipo pena pamene wina anachitira umboni kuti,

“Kodi munthu ndani kuti muzimukumbukira,

kapena mwana wa munthu kuti muzimusamalira?

7Munamuchepetsa pangʼono kusiyana ndi angelo;

munamupatsa ulemerero ndi ulemu.

8Munamupatsa ulamuliro pa zinthu zonse.”

Poyika zinthu zonse pansi pa ulamuliro wake, Mulungu sanasiye kanthu kamene sikali mu ulamuliro wake. Koma nthawi ino sitikuona zinthu pansi pa ulamuliro wake. 9Koma tikuona Yesu, amene kwa kanthawi kochepa anamuchepetsa pangʼono kwa angelo, koma tsopano wavala ulemerero ndi ulemu chifukwa anamva zowawa za imfa, kuti mwachisomo cha Mulungu, Iye afere anthu onse.

10Mulungu amene analenga zinthu zonse ndipo zinthu zonse zilipo chifukwa cha Iye ndi mwa Iye, anachiona choyenera kubweretsa ana ake ambiri mu ulemerero. Kunali koyenera kudzera mʼnjira ya zowawa, kumusandutsa Yesu mtsogoleri wangwiro, woyenera kubweretsa chipulumutso chawo. 11Popeza iye amene ayeretsa ndi oyeresedwa onse ndi abanja limodzi. Nʼchifukwa chake Yesu sachita manyazi kuwatcha iwo abale ake. 12Iye akuti,

“Ine ndidzawuza abale anga za dzina lanu.

Ndidzakuyimbirani nyimbo zamatamando pamaso pa mpingo.”

13Ndiponso,

“Ine ndidzakhulupirira Iyeyo.”

Ndiponso Iye akuti,

“Ine ndili pano pamodzi ndi ana amene Mulungu wandipatsa.”

14Tsono popeza kuti anawo ndi anthu, okhala ndi mnofu ndi magazi, Yesu nayenso anakhala munthu ngati iwowo kuti kudzera mu imfa yake awononge Satana amene ali ndi mphamvu yodzetsa imfa. 15Pakuti ndi njira yokhayi imene Iye angamasule amene pa moyo wawo wonse anali ngati akapolo chifukwa choopa imfa. 16Pakuti tikudziwanso kuti sathandiza angelo, koma zidzukulu za Abrahamu. 17Chifukwa cha zimenezi, Iye anayenera kukhala wofanana ndi abale ake pa zonse, kuti akhale mkulu wa ansembe wachifundo ndi wokhulupirika potumikira Mulungu, kuti potero achotse machimo a anthu. 18Popeza Iye mwini anamva zowawa pamene anayesedwa, Iyeyo angathe kuthandiza amene akuyesedwanso.
