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

¹¶ Na, ko te tikanga tenei, kia kaha ake to tatou whakaaro ki nga mea kua rangona, kei pahuhu atu i a tatou.

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

²Mehemea hoki te kupu i whakapuakina e nga anahera he pumau, a he tika tonu te utu i whakahokia mo nga pokanga ketanga katoa, mo nga mahi tutu;

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;

³Me pehea ka mawhiti ai tatou ki te paopao tatou ki tenei ora nui; i timataia nei te korero e te Ariki, a kua whakaukia mai ki a tatou e te hunga i rangona ai;

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?

⁴Me te whakaatu ano te Atua ki ta ratou, i runga i nga tohu, i nga mea whakamiharo, i tona tini o nga merekara, i nga tuwhanga mai ano hoki o te Wairua Tapu, he pera ano me tana i pai ai.

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

⁵¶ Kahore hoki i waiho e ia ki raro i nga anahera te ao meake nei puta, ta matou e korero nei.

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

⁶Heoi i whakaaturia mai e tetahi i tetahi wahi, i mea mai, He aha te tangata, i mahara ai koe ki a ia? te tama ranei a te tangata, i tirohia ai ia e koe?

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;]

⁷Nohinohi nei te whai i whakaititia iho ai ia e koe i nga anahera; kua karaunatia ia e koe ki te kororia, ki te honore, kua waiho ano ia e koe hei rangatira mo nga mahi a ou ringa:

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*,

⁸Kua waiho nei e koe nga mea katoa ki raro i ona waewae. Na, i nga mea katoa ka waiho nei i raro i a ia, kahore i mahue tetahi mea kihai nei i waiho i raro i a ia. Otira kahore ano tatou kia kite noa i nga mea katoa kua oti te waiho i raro i a ia.

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.

⁹Ka kite raia tatou i a Ihu, he nohinohi nei te wahi i whakaititia iho ai ia i nga anahera ka oti nei te karauna ki te kororia, ki te honore, i muri nei i tona ngaunga e te mate; he meatanga na to te Atua aroha noa kia pangia ia e te mate mo nga t angata katoa.

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.

¹⁰¶ Ko tana tikanga tika hoki ia, mana nei nga mea katoa, nana ano hoki nga mea katoa i a ia e arahi ana i nga tama tokomaha ki te kororia, kia waiho nga mamae hei mea e tino rite ai te Take o to ratou whakaoranga.

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

¹¹Ko te kaiwhakatapu hoki, ratou ko te hunga e whakatapua ana, no te pu kotahi ratou katoa: koia ia te whakama ai ki te hua i a ratou he teina;

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

¹²E mea nei ia, Maku e korero tou ingoa ki oku teina; ka himene atu ahau ki a koe i waenganui o te whakaminenga.

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

¹³Me tenei ano hoki, Ka u pu ahau ki a ia. Me tenei ano, Nana, ahau nei me nga tamariki i homai e te Atua ki ahau.

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;

¹⁴¶ Na, kei nga tamariki he kikokiko, he toto, koia hoki ia i whakawhiwhia ai ano hoki ki aua mea; kia ai ai tona matenga hei whakakahore mo te rangatira o te mate, ara mo te rewera;

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

¹⁵Kia whakaputaina mai ai hoki e ia ki waho te hunga i meinga e te wehi o te mate hei taurekareka i nga wa katoa i ora ai ratou.

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

¹⁶Kihai hoki ia i mau ki nga anahera; engari i mau ia ki te uri o Aperahama.

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;

¹⁷Na konei i tika ai kia whakaritea ia ki ona teina i nga mea katoa, kia waiho ai ia hei tohunga nui e atawhai ana, e pono ana i nga meatanga ki te Atua, hei whakamarie mo nga hara o te iwi.

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

¹⁸I te mea hoki ka whakamatautauria ia, a mamae iho, e taea e ia te awhina te hunga e whakamatautauria ana.
