Hebrews 2

1 For this reason we ought the more earnestly to attend to what we have heard, least by any means we should be found deficient.

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

2 For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received it's just recompence;

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

3 how shall we escape, if we neglect so great a salvation? which began to be declared by the Lord, and was confirmed to us by them that heard Him;

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 God also testifying together with them by signs, and wonders, and divers miracles, and gifts of the holy Spirit, according to his own will.

God also testifying with them, both by signs and wonders, by various works of power, and by gifts of the Rukha d'Qudsha, according to his own will?

5 For He hath not subjected to angels the world to come, of which we speak.

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

6 But one in a certain place hath testified, saying, "What is man that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man that thou visitest Him?

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 Thou madest Him for a little while inferior to the angels; with glory and honor hast thou crowned Him, and hast set Him over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet,"

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

8 For in putting all things under Him, He left nothing which was not to be in subjection to Him: though we do not yet see all things subjected to Him.

You have put all things 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 But we see Jesus, who was made for a little while lower than the angels, in order to suffer death, that by the grace of God He might taste death for every man, crowned with glory and honor.

But we see him who has been made a little lower than the angels, Yeshua, 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 For it became Him for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to make the author of their salvation perfect by sufferings:

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

11 since He that sanctifieth, and they that are sanctified, are all of one. For which cause He is not ashamed to call them brethren,

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 saying, "I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the congregation will I praise Thee."

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

13 And again, "I will trust in Him:" and again, "Behold, I, and the children which God hath given me."

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

14 Seeing then the children are partakers of flesh and blood, He also himself in like manner partook of them; that by death He might destroy him that had the empire of death, that is, the devil:

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 and deliver those who through fear of death were all their life-time subject to bondage.

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

16 For indeed He taketh not hold of angels to save them, but of the seed of Abraham.

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

17 Whence it behoved Him to be made in all things like unto his brethren, that He might be a merciful and faithful high-priest in the things concerning God, to make atonement for the sins of the people:

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 for as He himself hath suffered, in being tempted, He is able to succour those that are tempted.

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