1 T herefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.

مِنْ أجلِ هَذا يَنبَغِي أنْ نُولِيَ هَذِهِ الحَقائِقَ الَّتِي سَمِعْناها اهتِماماً أكبَرَ، لِئَلّا نَنجَرِفَ بَعِيداً.

2 F or if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward;

فَإنْ كانَتِ الكَلِمَةُ الَّتِي أعَلَنَتها مَلائِكَةٌ قَدْ ثَبَتَتْ صِحَّتُها، وَكانَ لِكُلِّ خَرقٍ وَعِصْيانٍ عِقابٌ عادِلٌ.

3 h ow shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him;

فَكَيفَ سَنَنجُو نَحنُ مِنَ العِقابِ إنْ أهمَلْنا مِثلَ هَذا الخَلاصِ العَظِيمِ الَّذِي أعلَنَهُ الرَّبُّ نَفسُهُ أوَّلاً، ثُمَّ أكَّدَهُ لَنا الَّذِينَ سَمِعُوا الرَّبَّ؟

4 G od also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will?

كَما صادَقَ اللهُ عَلَى صِحَّةِ شَهادَتِهِمْ بِالبَراهِيْنِ وَالعَجائِبِ وَالمُعجِزاتِ المُتَنَوِّعَةِ، وَبِمَواهِبِ الرُّوحِ القُدُسِ حَسَبَ مَشِيئَتِهِ. يَسوعُ صارَ إنساناً لِكَي يُخَلِّصْنا

5 F or unto the angels hath he not put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak.

فَاللهُ لَمْ يُخضِعِ العالَمَ الآتِي الَّذِي نَتَكَلَّمُ عَنهُ لِمَلائِكَةٍ!

6 b ut one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man, that thou visitest him?

لِأنَّهُ مَكتُوبٌ في مَوضِعٍ مِنَ الكِتابِ: «ما هِيَ أهَمِّيَّةُ الإنسانِ حَتَّى تُفَكِّرَ بِهِ، وَما أهَمِّيَّةُ ابنِ الإنسانِ حَتَّى تَهتَمَّ بِهِ؟

7 T hou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands:

جَعَلْتَهُ لِوَقتٍ قَلِيلٍ أدنَى مِنَ المَلائِكَةِ. تَوَّجتَهُ بِالمَجدِ وَالكَرامَةِ.

8 t hou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him.

أخضَعْتَ كُلَّ شَيءٍ تَحتَ قَدَمَيْهِ.» فَمَعَنَى أنَّ اللهَ أخضَعَ كُلَّ شَيءٍ لَهُ، أنَّهُ لَمْ يَترُكْ شَيئاً غَيْرَ خاضِعٍ لَهُ. مَعَ أنَّنا الآنَ لا نَرَى كُلَّ شَيءٍ مُخضَعاً لَهُ بَعدُ،

9 B ut we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.

لَكِنَّنا نَرَى يَسُوعَ، الَّذي جُعِلَ لِوَقتٍ قَلِيلٍ أدنَى مِنَ المَلائِكَةِ، مُتَوَّجاً بِالمَجدِ وَالكَرامَةِ بِسَبَبِ المَوتِ الَّذِي عاناهُ. فَبِسَبَبِ نِعمَةِ اللهِ، ذاقَ يَسُوعُ المَوتَ مِنْ أجلِ كُلِّ إنسانٍ.

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

فَاللهُ الَّذيْ لَهُ كُلُّ شَيءٍ وَخالِقُ كَلَّ شَيءٍ، إذْ أرادَ أنْ يُحضِرَ أبناءً كَثِيرِينَ لِيَشتَرِكُوا فِي مَجدِهِ، كانَ لائِقاً بِهِ أنْ يَجعَلَ مُنشِئَ خَلاصِهِمْ كامِلاً مِنْ خِلالِ الآلامِ.

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

فيَسوعُ الَّذِي يُقَدِّسُ، وَالمُؤْمِنونَ الَّذِينَ يُقَدَّسُونَ، لَهُمْ جَمِيعاً أبٌ واحِدٌ. لِذَلِكَ لا يَخجَلُ يَسُوعُ أنْ يَدعُوَهُمْ إخْوَةً.

12 s aying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee.

إذْ يَقُولُ: «سَأُعلِنُ اسْمَكَ لإخوَتِي، وَسَأُسَبِحُكَ وَسَطَ جَماعَةِ شَعبِكَ.»

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

وَيَقُولُ: «سَأضَعُ فِي اللهِ ثِقَتِي.» وَيَقُولُ أيضاً: «ها أنا، وَمَعِي الأبناءُ الَّذِينَ وَهَبَهُمُ اللهُ لِي.»

14 F orasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;

فَبِما أنَّ الأبناءَ بَشَرٌ مِنْ لَحمٍ وَدَمٍ، فَقَدِ اشتَرَكَ هُوَ مَعَهُمْ فِي اللَّحمِ وَالدَّمِ أيضاً، لِكَي يُبِيدَ بِمَوتِهِ ذاكَ الَّذي لَهُ سُلطانُ المَوتِ، أيْ إبلِيسَ.

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

وَلِكَي يُحَرِّرَ كُلَّ الَّذِينَ كانُوا طَوالَ حَياتِهِمْ مُستَعبَدِينَ لِخَوفِهِمْ مِنَ المَوتِ.

16 F or verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham.

فَمِنَ الواضِحِ أنَّهُ لَمْ يَأْتِ لِمَعُونَةِ المَلائِكَةِ، بَلْ لِمَعُونَةِ نَسلِ إبراهِيمَ.

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

لِهَذا كانَ عَلَيهِ أنْ يَصِيرَ مِثلَ إخْوَتِهِ مِنْ كُلِّ ناحِيَةٍ، لِيَكُونَ رَئِيسَ كَهَنَةٍ رَحِيماً وَأمِيناً فِي خِدمَةِ اللهِ، فَيُقَدِّمَ كَفّارَةً مِنْ أجلِ مَغفِرَةِ خَطايا الشَّعبِ.

18 F or in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.

فَبِما أنَّهُ جُرِّبَ وَتَألَّمَ، يَقدِرُ أيضاً أنْ يُعينَ الَّذِينَ يَتَعَرَّضُونَ لِلتَّجرِبَةِ.
