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

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

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

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

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,

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;

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

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?

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

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

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

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

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

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;]

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.

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*,

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 -,

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;

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

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

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

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

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

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;

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

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