1 З атова ние сме длъжни да внимаваме повече на туй, което сме чули, да не би да <го> изгубим някога.

Since 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.

2 З ащото, ако словото, изговорено чрез ангели, стана твърдо и всяко престъпление и непокорство получи справедлива отплата,

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

3 т о как ще избегнем ние, ако пренебрегнем едно толкова велико спасение, което, от начало прогласено от Господа, се потвърди между нас от тия, които бяха <го чули;>

How 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.

4 к ато му свидетелствуваше и Бог чрез знамения и чудеса, чрез разни велики дела и чрез раздаване Светия Дух по волята Си?

it 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.

5 З ащото не на ангели подчини той бъдещия свят, за който говорим;

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

6 н о някой е засвидетелствувал нейде, като е казал: "Що е човек, та да го помниш, Или човешки син, та да го посещаваш?

It 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?

7 Т и си го направил <само> малко по-долен от ангелите, Със слава и чест си го увенчал, И поставил си го над делата на ръцете Си;

For 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,

8 В сичко си подчинил под нозете му". И като му е подчинил всичко, не е оставил нищо неподчинено нему, обаче сега не виждаме още да му е всичко подчинено.

For 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.

9 Н о виждаме Исуса, Който е бил направен малко по-долен от ангелите, че е увенчан със слава и чест поради претърпяната смърт, за да вкуси смърт с Божията благодат, за всеки човек.

But 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.

10 З ащото беше уместно, щото Онзи, заради Когото е всичко, и чрез Когото е всичко, като привежда много синове в слава, да усъвършенствува чрез страдания начинателя на тяхното спасение.

For 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.

11 П онеже и Оня, Който освещава, и ония, които се освещават, всички са от Едного; за която причина Той не се срамува да ги нарича братя.

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

12 к азвайки: "Ще възвестявам името Ти на братята Си; Ще Те хваля всред събранието";

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

13 и пак: - "Аз на Него ще уповавам" и пак: - "Ето Аз и децата, които Ми е дал Бог".

And 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.

14 И тъй, понеже децата са същества от общата плът и кръв то и Той, подобно <на тях>, взе участие в същото, за да унищожи чрез смъртта този, който има властта, сиреч, дявола,

Since, 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—

15 и да избави всички ония, които, поради страха от смъртта, през целия си живот са били подчинени на робство.

And 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.

16 ( Защото, наистина, Той не помогна на ангелите, но помогна на Авраамовото потомство).

For, 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.

17 З атова трябваше да се оприличи във всичко на братята Си, за да бъде милостив и верен първосвещеник в отношение към Бога, за да извърши умилостивение за греховете на людете.

So 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.

18 П онеже в това дето и сам Той пострада като изкушен, може и на изкушаваните да помага.

For 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.
