¹Saka tinofanira kuchenjerera zvikuru kuzvinhu zvatakanzwa, kuti chero nguva tirege kueredzwa.

¹Therefore we ought to pay greater attention to the things that were heard, lest perhaps we drift away.

²Nekuti kana shoko rakataurwa nevatumwa rakange rakasimba, uye kudarika kose nekusateerera kwakagamuchira kutsiva kwakarurama kwemubairo,

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

³isu tichapukunyuka sei kana tichishaya hanya neruponeso rukuru rwakadai? Urwu rwakataurwa pakutanga naIshe, rwukasimbiswa kwatiri naivo vakanzwa;

³how will we escape if we neglect so great a salvation—which at the first having been spoken through the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard;

⁴Mwari achivapupurirawo zvose nezviratidzo nezvishamiso, nemasimba akasiyana siyana, nezvipo zveMweya Mutsvene, nekuda kwekuda kwake.

⁴God also testifying with them, both by signs and wonders, by various works of power, and by gifts of the Holy Spirit, according to his own will?

⁵Nekuti haana kuisa shoko rinouya pasi kuvatumwa, ratinotaura nezvaro.

⁵For he didn’t subject the world to come, of which we speak, to angels.

⁶Asi umwe pane imwe nzvimbo wakapupura achiti: Ko munhu chii, kuti mumurangarire? kana Mwanakomana wemunhu, kuti mumushanyire?

⁶But one has somewhere testified, saying, “What is man, that you think of him? Or the son of man, that you care for him?

⁷Makamuita muduku zvishoma kuvatumwa; makamupfekedza korona yekubwinya nerukudzo, mukamumisa pamusoro pemabasa emaoko enyu.

⁷You made him a little lower than the angels. You crowned him with glory and honor. TR adds “and set him over the works of your hands”

⁸Zvinhu zvose makaisa pasi pake pasi petsoka dzake. nekuti pane izvozvi wakaisa zvose pasi pake, haana kusiya chinhu chisina kuiswa pasi pake. Asi zvino tigere kuona zvinhu zvose zvakaiswa pasi pake.

⁸You have put all things in subjection under his feet.” Psalm 8:4-6 For in that he subjected all things to him, he left nothing that is not subject to him. But now we don’t see all things subjected to him, yet.

⁹Asi tinoona Jesu, wakaitwa muduku zvishoma kuvatumwa, nekuda kwekutambudzika kwerufu, wakashongedzwa korona yekubwinya nekukudzwa, kuti iye nenyasha dzaMwari aravire rufu achiitira munhu wose.

⁹But we see him who has been made a little lower than the angels, Jesus, because of the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that by the grace of God he should taste of death for everyone.

¹⁰Nekuti zvakanga zvakamufanira, iye zvinhu zvose zviripo naye, uye zvinhu zvose zvakaitwa naye, pakuisa vanakomana vazhinji pakubwinya, apedzeredze mutungamiriri wekuponeswa kwavo kubudikidza nematambudziko.

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

¹¹Nekuti zvose vanoitisa vatsvene naivo vanoitwa vatsvene vose vakabva kune umwe; nemhaka iyi haana nyadzi kuvaidza hama,

¹¹For both he who sanctifies and those who are sanctified are all from one, for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brothers The word for “brothers” here and where context allows may also be correctly translated “brothers and sisters” or “siblings.” ,

¹²achiti: Ndichaparidzira zita renyu kuhama dzangu, pakati pekereke ndichikuimbirai rumbidzo.

¹²saying, “I will declare your name to my brothers. In the midst of the congregation I will sing your praise.” Psalm 22:22

¹³Uyezve: Ndichavimba naye, Uyezve: Tarirai ini nevacheche Mwari vaakandipa.

¹³Again, “I will put my trust in him.” Isaiah 8:17 Again, “Behold, here I am with the children whom God has given me.” Isaiah 8:18

¹⁴Naizvozvo sezvo vacheche vari vagovani veropa nenyama, naiyewo wakagovana navo pane izvozvi; kuti kubudikidza nerufu iye aparadze uyo unesimba rerufu, iye dhiabhorosi,

¹⁴Since then the children have shared in flesh and blood, he also himself in the same way partook of the same, that through death he might bring to nothing him who had the power of death, that is, the devil,

¹⁵agosunungura avo kubudikidza nekutya rufu vaiva pasi peuranda paupenyu hwavo hwose.

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

¹⁶Nekuti zvirokwazvo, haana kuzvitorera vatumwa, asi wakazvitorera mbeu yaAbhurahamu.

¹⁶For most certainly, he doesn’t give help to angels, but he gives help to the seed of Abraham.

¹⁷Naizvozvo wakafanira pazvinhu zvose kufananidzwa nehama dzake, kuti ave mupristi mukuru uzere netsitsi nekutendeka pazvinhu zvaMwari, kuti aite muripo wezvivi zvevanhu.

¹⁷Therefore he was obligated in all things to be made like his brothers, that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make atonement for the sins of the people.

¹⁸Nekuti pane izvozvo iye amene wakatambudzika achiidzwa, unogona kuvabatsira avo vanoidzwa.

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