¹Because of this it behoveth [us] more abundantly to take heed to the things heard, lest we may glide aside,

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

²for if the word being spoken through messengers did become stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience did receive a just recompense,

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

³how shall we escape, having neglected so great salvation? which a beginning receiving — to be spoken through the Lord — by those having heard was confirmed to us,

³ይህ በጌታ በመጀመሪያ የተነገረ ነበርና፥ የሰሙትም ለእኛ አጸኑት፥

⁴God also bearing joint-witness both with signs and wonders, and manifold powers, and distributions of the Holy Spirit, according to His will.

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

⁵For not to messengers did He subject the coming world, concerning which we speak,

⁵ስለ እርሱ የምንናገርበትን የሚመጣውን ዓለም ለመላእክት ያስገዛው አይደለምና።

⁶and one in a certain place did testify fully, saying, `What is man, that Thou art mindful of him, or a son of man, that Thou dost look after him?

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

⁷Thou didst make him some little less than messengers, with glory and honour Thou didst crown him, and didst set him over the works of Thy hands,

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

⁸all things Thou didst put in subjection under his feet,` for in the subjecting to him the all things, nothing did He leave to him unsubjected, and now not yet do we see the all things subjected to him,

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

⁹and him who was made some little less than messengers we see — Jesus — because of the suffering of the death, with glory and honour having been crowned, that by the grace of God for every one he might taste of death.

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 was becoming to Him, because of whom [are] the all things, and through whom [are] the all things, many sons to glory bringing, the author of their salvation through sufferings to make perfect,

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

¹¹for both he who is sanctifying and those 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 to my brethren, in the midst of an assembly I will sing praise to Thee;` and again, `I will be trusting on Him;`

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, `Behold I and the children that God did give to 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።

¹⁴Seeing, then, the children have partaken of flesh and blood, he himself also in like manner did take part of the same, that through death he might destroy him having the power of death — that is, the devil —

¹⁶የአብርሃምን ዘር ይዞአል እንጂ የያዘው የመላእክትን አይደለም።

¹⁵and might deliver those, whoever, with fear of death, throughout all their life, were subjects of bondage,

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

¹⁶for, doubtless, of messengers it doth not lay hold, but of seed of Abraham it layeth hold,

¹⁸እርሱ ራሱ ተፈትኖ መከራን ስለ ተቀበለ የሚፈተኑትን ሊረዳቸው ይችላልና።

¹⁷wherefore it did behove him in all things to be made like to the brethren, that he might become a kind and stedfast chief-priest in the things with God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people,

¹⁸for in that he suffered, himself being tempted, he is able to help those who are tempted.
