¹Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things that were heard, lest haply we drift away [from them].

¹Seepärast tuleb meil palju hoolsamini panna tähele seda, mida me oleme kuulnud, et meid kõrvale ei uhutaks.

²For if the word spoken through angels proved stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense of reward;

²Sest kui juba inglite kaudu räägitud sõna jäi püsima ning iga üleastumine ja sõnakuulmatus sai oma õige palga,

³how shall we escape, if we neglect so great a salvation? which having at the first been spoken through the Lord, was confirmed unto us by them that heard;

³kuidas siis meie võiksime pageda, kui me ei hooli nii suurest päästest, mis sai alguse Issanda enda kuulutusest ja mida meile on kinnitanud need, kes kuulsid,

⁴God also bearing witness with them, both by signs and wonders, and by manifold powers, and by gifts of the Holy Spirit, according to his own will.

⁴kusjuures Jumal ise on kinnitanud nende tunnistust tunnustähtede ja imedega, mitmesuguste vägevate tegudega ning Püha Vaimu andidega, mida ta jagas oma tahtmise järgi.

⁵For not unto angels did he subject the world to come, whereof we speak.

⁵Ta ei alistanud ju inglitele tulevast maailma, millest me räägime.

⁶But one hath somewhere testified, saying, What is man, that thou art mindful of him? Or the son of man, that thou visitest him?

⁶Aga keegi kusagil ütleb tunnistades: 'Mis on inimene, et sa teda meeles peaksid, või Inimese Poeg, et sa temast hooliksid?

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

⁷Sa tegid ta pisut alamaks inglitest, siis sa pärgasid ta kirkuse ja auga,

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

⁸kõik sa alistasid tema jalge alla.' Selles kõige alistamises ei ole ta jätnud ju midagi talle alistamata. Aga praegu me ei näe veel, et kõik oleks talle alistatud.

⁹But we behold him who hath been made a little lower than the angels, [even] Jesus, because of the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that by the grace of God he should taste of death for every [man].

⁹Ometi me näeme teda, Jeesust, kes oli tehtud pisut alamaks inglitest, nii et ta Jumala armu läbi kõigi eest maitseks surma, nüüd pärjatuna kirkuse ja auga surma kannatamise pärast.

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

¹⁰Sest Jumalale, kelle päralt on kõik ja kelle läbi on kõik, oli kohane, et ta teeks kannatuste kaudu täiuslikuks nende pääste Rajaja, selle, kes viib kirkusse palju lapsi.

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

¹¹Jah, niihästi Pühitseja kui pühitsetavad on kõik ühe Isa lapsed. Sel põhjusel Jeesus ei häbenegi neid hüüda vendadeks.

¹²saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, In the midst of the congregation will I sing thy praise.

¹²Ta ütleb: 'Ma tahan kuulutada su nime oma vendadele, koguduse keskel tahan ma laulda sulle kiitust!'

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

¹³Ja taas: 'Ma tahan loota tema peale.' Ja taas: 'Vaata, siin olen mina ja lapsed, keda Jumal on mulle andnud!'

¹⁴Since then the children are sharers in flesh and blood, he also himself in like manner partook of the same; that through death he might bring to nought him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;

¹⁴Et nüüd lapsed on liha ja vere osalised, siis on ka Jeesus ise otse samal viisil liha ja vere omaks võtnud, et ta surma kaudu kõrvaldaks selle, kellel on võimus surma üle - see tähendab kuradi -,

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

¹⁵ja vabastaks need, kes surma kartes olid kogu eluaja orjapõlves.

¹⁶For verily not to angels doth he give help, but he giveth help to the seed of Abraham.

¹⁶Sest ega ta ometi hoolitse inglite eest, vaid ta hoolitseb Aabrahami soo eest!

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

¹⁷Seepärast ta pidigi kõiges saama vendade sarnaseks, et temast saaks halastav ja ustav ülempreester Jumala ees rahva pattude lepitamiseks.

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

¹⁸Sest seetõttu, et ta ise on kannatanud kiusatuna, võib ta aidata neid, keda kiusatakse.
