1 T herefore we must give the more earnest heed to the things we have heard, lest we drift away.

Na, ko te tikanga tenei, kia kaha ake to tatou whakaaro ki nga mea kua rangona, kei pahuhu atu i a tatou.

2 F or if the word spoken through angels proved steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just reward,

Mehemea hoki te kupu i whakapuakina e nga anahera he pumau, a he tika tonu te utu i whakahokia mo nga pokanga ketanga katoa, mo nga mahi tutu;

3 h ow shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation, which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed to us by those who heard Him,

Me pehea ka mawhiti ai tatou ki te paopao tatou ki tenei ora nui; i timataia nei te korero e te Ariki, a kua whakaukia mai ki a tatou e te hunga i rangona ai;

4 G od also bearing witness both with signs and wonders, with various miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit, according to His own will? The Son Made Lower than Angels

Me te whakaatu ano te Atua ki ta ratou, i runga i nga tohu, i nga mea whakamiharo, i tona tini o nga merekara, i nga tuwhanga mai ano hoki o te Wairua Tapu, he pera ano me tana i pai ai.

5 F or He has not put the world to come, of which we speak, in subjection to angels.

Kahore hoki i waiho e ia ki raro i nga anahera te ao meake nei puta, ta matou e korero nei.

6 B ut one testified in a certain place, saying: “What is man that You are mindful of him, Or the son of man that You take care of him?

Heoi i whakaaturia mai e tetahi i tetahi wahi, i mea mai, He aha te tangata, i mahara ai koe ki a ia? te tama ranei a te tangata, i tirohia ai ia e koe?

7 Y ou have made him a little lower than the angels; You have crowned him with glory and honor, And set him over the works of Your hands.

Nohinohi nei te whai i whakaititia iho ai ia e koe i nga anahera; kua karaunatia ia e koe ki te kororia, ki te honore, kua waiho ano ia e koe hei rangatira mo nga mahi a ou ringa:

8 Y ou have 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 do not yet see all things put under him.

Kua waiho nei e koe nga mea katoa ki raro i ona waewae. Na, i nga mea katoa ka waiho nei i raro i a ia, kahore i mahue tetahi mea kihai nei i waiho i raro i a ia. Otira kahore ano tatou kia kite noa i nga mea katoa kua oti te waiho i raro i a ia.

9 B ut we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, for the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that He, by the grace of God, might taste death for everyone. Bringing Many Sons to Glory

Ka kite raia tatou i a Ihu, he nohinohi nei te wahi i whakaititia iho ai ia i nga anahera ka oti nei te karauna ki te kororia, ki te honore, i muri nei i tona ngaunga e te mate; he meatanga na to te Atua aroha noa kia pangia ia e te mate mo nga t angata katoa.

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

Ko tana tikanga tika hoki ia, mana nei nga mea katoa, nana ano hoki nga mea katoa i a ia e arahi ana i nga tama tokomaha ki te kororia, kia waiho nga mamae hei mea e tino rite ai te Take o to ratou whakaoranga.

11 F or both He who sanctifies and those who are being sanctified are all of one, for which reason He is not ashamed to call them brethren,

Ko te kaiwhakatapu hoki, ratou ko te hunga e whakatapua ana, no te pu kotahi ratou katoa: koia ia te whakama ai ki te hua i a ratou he teina;

12 s aying: “I will declare Your name to My brethren; In the midst of the assembly I will sing praise to You.”

E mea nei ia, Maku e korero tou ingoa ki oku teina; ka himene atu ahau ki a koe i waenganui o te whakaminenga.

13 A nd again: “I will put My trust in Him.” And again: “Here am I and the children whom God has given Me.”

Me tenei ano hoki, Ka u pu ahau ki a ia. Me tenei ano, Nana, ahau nei me nga tamariki i homai e te Atua ki ahau.

14 I nasmuch then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He Himself likewise shared in the same, that through death He might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil,

Na, kei nga tamariki he kikokiko, he toto, koia hoki ia i whakawhiwhia ai ano hoki ki aua mea; kia ai ai tona matenga hei whakakahore mo te rangatira o te mate, ara mo te rewera;

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

Kia whakaputaina mai ai hoki e ia ki waho te hunga i meinga e te wehi o te mate hei taurekareka i nga wa katoa i ora ai ratou.

16 F or indeed He does not give aid to angels, but He does give aid to the seed of Abraham.

Kihai hoki ia i mau ki nga anahera; engari i mau ia ki te uri o Aperahama.

17 T herefore, in all things He had to be made like His brethren, that He might be a merciful and faithful High Priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people.

Na konei i tika ai kia whakaritea ia ki ona teina i nga mea katoa, kia waiho ai ia hei tohunga nui e atawhai ana, e pono ana i nga meatanga ki te Atua, hei whakamarie mo nga hara o te iwi.

18 F or in that He Himself has suffered, being tempted, He is able to aid those who are tempted.

I te mea hoki ka whakamatautauria ia, a mamae iho, e taea e ia te awhina te hunga e whakamatautauria ana.
