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

¹For this reason we should give heed more abundantly to the things [we have] heard, lest in any way we should slip away.

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

²For if the word which was spoken by angels was firm, and every transgression and disobedience received just retribution,

³ይህ በጌታ በመጀመሪያ የተነገረ ነበርና፥ የሰሙትም ለእኛ አጸኑት፥

³how shall *we* escape if we have been negligent of so great salvation, which, having had its commencement in being spoken [of] by the Lord, has been confirmed to us by those who have heard;

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

⁴God bearing, besides, witness with [them] to [it], both by signs and wonders, and various acts of power, and distributions of [the] Holy Spirit, according to his will?

⁵ስለ እርሱ የምንናገርበትን የሚመጣውን ዓለም ለመላእክት ያስገዛው አይደለምና።

⁵For he has not subjected to angels the habitable world which is to come, of which we speak;

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

⁶but one has testified somewhere, saying, What is man, that thou rememberest him, or son of man that thou visitest him?

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

⁷Thou hast made him some little inferior to the angels; thou hast crowned him with glory and honour, [and hast set him over the works of thy hands;]

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

⁸thou hast subjected all things under his feet. For in subjecting all things to him, he has left nothing unsubject to him. But now we see not yet all things subjected to *him*,

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

⁹but we see Jesus, who [was] made some little inferior to angels on account of the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; so that by the grace of God he should taste death for every thing.

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

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

¹¹የሚቀድሰውና የሚቀደሱት ሁሉ ከአንድ ናቸውና፤

¹¹For both he that sanctifies and those sanctified [are] all of one; for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,

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

¹²saying, I will declare thy name to my brethren; in [the] midst of [the] assembly will I sing thy praises.

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።

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

¹⁶የአብርሃምን ዘር ይዞአል እንጂ የያዘው የመላእክትን አይደለም።

¹⁴Since therefore the children partake of blood and flesh, he also, in like manner, took part in the same, that through death he might annul him who has the might of death, that is, the devil;

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

¹⁵and might set free all those who through fear of death through the whole of their life were subject to bondage.

¹⁸እርሱ ራሱ ተፈትኖ መከራን ስለ ተቀበለ የሚፈተኑትን ሊረዳቸው ይችላልና።

¹⁶For he does not indeed take hold of angels [by the hand], but he takes hold of the seed of Abraham.

¹⁷Wherefore it behoved him in all things to be made like to [his] brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things relating to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people;

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