¹Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.

¹ስለዚህ ከሰማነው ነገር ምናልባት እንዳንወሰድ፥ ለእርሱ አብልጠን ልንጠነቀቅ ያስፈልገናል።

²For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward;

²በመላእክት የተነገረው ቃል ጽኑ ከሆነ፥ መተላለፍና አለመታዘዝም ሁሉ የጽድቅን ብድራት ከተቀበለ፥ እኛስ እንዲህ ያለውን ታላቅ መዳን ቸል ብንለው፥ እንዴት እናመልጣለን?

³How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him;

³ይህ በጌታ በመጀመሪያ የተነገረ ነበርና፥ የሰሙትም ለእኛ አጸኑት፥

⁴God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will?

⁴እግዚአብሔርም እርሱ ራሱ እንደ ፈቀደ በምልክትና በድንቅ ነገር በልዩ ልዩ ተአምራትም፥ መንፈስ ቅዱስንም በማደል አብሮ መሰከረለት።

⁵For unto the angels hath he not put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak.

⁵ስለ እርሱ የምንናገርበትን የሚመጣውን ዓለም ለመላእክት ያስገዛው አይደለምና።

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

⁶ነገር ግን አንዱ በአንድ ስፍራ። ታስበው ዘንድ ሰው ምንድር ነው? ወይስ ትጎበኘው ዘንድ የሰው ልጅ ምንድር ነው?

⁷Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands:

⁷ከመላእክት ይልቅ በጥቂት አሳነስኸው፤ የክብርና የምስጋና ዘውድ ጫንህለት፥ በእጆችህም ሥራ ላይ ሾምኸው፤

⁸Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him.

⁸ሁሉን ከእግሮቹ በታች አስገዛህለት ብሎ መሰከረ። ሁሉን ከእርሱ በታች ባስገዛ ጊዜ ያልተገዛለት ምንም አልተወምና። አሁን ግን ሁሉ እንደ ተገዛለት ገና አናይም፤

⁹But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.

⁹ነገር ግን በእግዚአብሔር ጸጋ ስለ ሰው ሁሉ ሞትን ይቀምስ ዘንድ፥ ከመላእክት ይልቅ በጥቂት አንሶ የነበረውን ኢየሱስን ከሞት መከራ የተነሣ የክብርና የምስጋናን ዘውድ ተጭኖ እናየዋለን።

¹⁰For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.

¹⁰ብዙ ልጆችን ወደ ክብር ሲያመጣ የመዳናቸውን ራስ በመከራ ይፈጽም ዘንድ፥ ከእርሱ የተነሣ ሁሉ በእርሱም ሁሉ ለሆነ፥ ለእርሱ ተገብቶታልና።

¹¹For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,

¹¹የሚቀድሰውና የሚቀደሱት ሁሉ ከአንድ ናቸውና፤

¹²Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee.

¹³ስለዚህም ምክንያት። ስምህን ለወንድሞቼ እነግራቸዋለሁ በማኅበርም መካከል በዜማ አመሰግንሃለሁ፤ ደግሞም። እኔ በእርሱ እታመናለሁ፤ ደግሞም። እነሆኝ እኔን እግዚአብሔር የሰጠኝንም ልጆች ሲል ወንድሞች ብሎ ሊጠራቸው አያፍርም።

¹³And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which God hath given me.

¹⁴እንግዲህ ልጆቹ በሥጋና በደም ስለሚካፈሉ፥ እርሱ ደግሞ በሞት ላይ ሥልጣን ያለውን በሞት እንዲሽር፥ ይኸውም ዲያብሎስ ነው፥ በሕይወታቸውም ሁሉ ስለ ሞት ፍርሃት በባርነት ይታሰሩ የነበሩትን ሁሉ ነጻ እንዲያወጣ፥ በሥጋና በደም እንዲሁ ተካፈለ።

¹⁴Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;

¹⁶የአብርሃምን ዘር ይዞአል እንጂ የያዘው የመላእክትን አይደለም።

¹⁵And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.

¹⁷ስለዚህ የሕዝብን ኃጢአት ለማስተስረይ፥ ለእግዚአብሔር በሆነው ነገር ሁሉ የሚምርና የታመነ ሊቀ ካህናት እንዲሆን፥ በነገር ሁሉ ወንድሞቹን ሊመስል ተገባው።

¹⁶For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham.

¹⁸እርሱ ራሱ ተፈትኖ መከራን ስለ ተቀበለ የሚፈተኑትን ሊረዳቸው ይችላልና።

¹⁷Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.

¹⁸For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.
