Hebrews 2 ~ Hebreus 2

picture

1 S ince all this is true, we ought to pay much closer attention than ever to the truths that we have heard, lest in any way we drift past and slip away.

Por isso é preciso que prestemos maior atenção ao que temos ouvido, para que jamais nos desviemos.

2 F or if the message given through angels was authentic and proved sure, and every violation and disobedience received an appropriate (just and adequate) penalty,

Porque, se a mensagem transmitida por anjos provou a sua firmeza, e toda transgressão e desobediência recebeu a devida punição,

3 H ow shall we escape if we neglect and refuse to pay attention to such a great salvation ? For it was declared at first by the Lord, and it was confirmed to us and proved to be real and genuine by those who personally heard.

como escaparemos, se negligenciarmos tão grande salvação? Esta salvação, primeiramente anunciada pelo Senhor, foi-nos confirmada pelos que a ouviram.

4 i t was also established and plainly endorsed by God, Who showed His approval of it by signs and wonders and various miraculous manifestations of power and by imparting the gifts of the Holy Spirit according to His own will.

Deus também deu testemunho dela por meio de sinais, maravilhas, diversos milagres e dons do Espírito Santo distribuídos de acordo com a sua vontade. Jesus é Feito Semelhante a seus Irmãos

5 F or it was not to angels that God subjected the habitable world of the future, of which we are speaking.

Não foi a anjos que ele sujeitou o mundo que há de vir, a respeito do qual estamos falando,

6 I t has been solemnly and earnestly said in a certain place, What is man that You are mindful of him, or the son of man that You graciously and helpfully care for and visit and look after him?

mas alguém em certo lugar testemunhou, dizendo: “Que é o homem, para que com ele te importes? E o filho do homem, para que com ele te preocupes?

7 F or some little time You have ranked him lower than and inferior to the angels; You have crowned him with glory and honor and set him over the works of Your hands,

Tu o fizeste um pouco menor do que os anjos e o coroaste de glória e de honra;

8 F or You have put everything in subjection under his feet. Now in putting everything in subjection to man, He left nothing outside control. But at present we do not yet see all things subjected to him.

tudo sujeitaste debaixo dos seus pés”. Ao lhe sujeitar todas as coisas, nada deixou que não lhe estivesse sujeito. Agora, porém, ainda não vemos que todas as coisas lhe estejam sujeitas.

9 B ut we are able to see Jesus, Who was ranked lower than the angels for a little while, crowned with glory and honor because of His having suffered death, in order that by the grace (unmerited favor) of God He might experience death for every individual person.

Vemos, todavia, aquele que por um pouco foi feito menor do que os anjos, Jesus, coroado de honra e de glória por ter sofrido a morte, para que, pela graça de Deus, em favor de todos, experimentasse a morte.

10 F or it was an act worthy and fitting that He, for Whose sake and by Whom all things have their existence, in bringing many sons into glory, should make the Pioneer of their salvation perfect through suffering.

Ao levar muitos filhos à glória, convinha que Deus, por causa de quem e por meio de quem tudo existe, tornasse perfeito, mediante o sofrimento, o autor da salvação deles.

11 F or both He Who sanctifies and those who are sanctified all have one. For this reason He is not ashamed to call them brethren;

Ora, tanto o que santifica quanto os que são santificados provêm de um só. Por isso Jesus não se envergonha de chamá-los irmãos.

12 F or He says, I will declare Your name to My brethren; in the midst of the congregation I will sing hymns of praise to You.

Ele diz: “Proclamarei o teu nome a meus irmãos; na assembléia te louvarei”.

13 A nd again He says, My trust and assured reliance and confident hope shall be fixed in Him. And yet again, Here I am, I and the children whom God has given Me.

E também: “Nele porei a minha confiança”. Novamente ele diz: “Aqui estou eu com os filhos que Deus me deu”.

14 S ince, therefore, children share in flesh and blood, He in a similar manner partook of the same, that by death He might bring to nought and make of no effect him who had the power of death—that is, the devil—

Portanto, visto que os filhos são pessoas de carne e sangue, ele também participou dessa condição humana, para que, por sua morte, derrotasse aquele que tem o poder da morte, isto é, o Diabo,

15 A nd also that He might deliver and completely set free all those who through the fear of death were held in bondage throughout the whole course of their lives.

e libertasse aqueles que durante toda a vida estiveram escravizados pelo medo da morte.

16 F or, as we all know, He did not take hold of angels '> the fallen angels, to give them a helping and delivering hand], but He did take hold of '> the fallen] descendants of Abraham.

Pois é claro que não é a anjos que ele ajuda, mas aos descendentes de Abraão.

17 S o it is evident that it was essential that He be made like His brethren in every respect, in order that He might become a merciful (sympathetic) and faithful High Priest in the things related to God, to make atonement and propitiation for the people’s sins.

Por essa razão era necessário que ele se tornasse semelhante a seus irmãos em todos os aspectos, para se tornar sumo sacerdote misericordioso e fiel com relação a Deus, e fazer propiciação pelos pecados do povo.

18 F or because He Himself has suffered in being tempted (tested and tried), He is able to run to the cry of (assist, relieve) those who are being tempted and tested and tried.

Porque, tendo em vista o que ele mesmo sofreu quando tentado, ele é capaz de socorrer aqueles que também estão sendo tentados.
