Hebrews 2

NEW JERUSALEM	STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH
1 We ought, then, to turn our minds more attentively than before to what we have been taught, so that wedo not drift away.	1 לָכֵן אֲנַחְנוּ חַיָּבִים בְּיוֹתֵר לְהָכִין לְבָבֵנוּ אֶל־אֲשֶׁר שָׁמָעְנוּ פֶּן־יָלוּז וְיֹאבַד מִמֶּנּוּ
2 If a message that was spoken through angels proved to be so reliable that every infringement anddisobedience brought its own proper punishment,	2 כִּי אִם־הַדָּבָר הַנֶּאֱמָר עַל־יְדֵי הַמַּלְאָכִים הָיָה קַיָּם וְכָל־פֶּשַׁע וּמְרִי נָשָׂא אֶת־עָנְשׁוֹ כַּמִּשְׁפָּט
3 then we shal certainly not go unpunished if we neglect such a great salvation. It was first announced bythe Lord himself, and is guaranteed to us by those who heard him;	3 אֵיךְ נִמָּלֵט אֲנַחְנוּ אִם־לֹא נָשִׂים לֵב לִתְשׁוּעָה גְדוֹלָה אֲשֶׁר כָּזֹאת הַנֶּאֱמָרָה מִתְּחִלָּה בְּפִי הָאָדוֹן וַתְּקֻיַּם־לָנוּ עַל־יְדֵי שֹׁמְעֶיהָ
4 God himself confirmed their witness with signs and marvels and miracles of al kinds, and bydistributing the gifts of the Holy Spirit in the various ways he wil s.	4 וְגַם־אֱלֹהִים הֵעִיד עָלֶיהָ בְּאֹתוֹת וּבְמוֹפְתִים וּבִגְבוּרוֹת שֹׁנוֹת וּבְהַאֲצִיל מֵרוּחַ קָדְשׁוֹ כִּרְצוֹנוֹ
5 It was not under angels that he put the world to come, about which we are speaking.	5 כִּי לֹא תַחַת יַד־הַמַּלְאָכִים שָׁת אֶת־הָעוֹלָם הַבָּא אֲשֶׁר אֲנַחְנוּ מְדַבְּרִים עָלָיו
6 Someone witnesses to this somewhere with the words: What are human beings that you spare athought for them, a child of Adam that you care for him?	6 כִּי אִם־כַּאֲשֶׁר הֵעִיד הָאֹמֵר בְּמָקוֹם אֶחָד מָה־אֱנוֹשׁ כִּי־תִזְכְּרֶנּוּ וּבֶן־אָדָם כִּי תִפְקְדֶנּוּ
7 For a short while you have made him less than the angels; you have crowned him with glory andhonour,	7 וַתְּחַסְּרֵהוּ מְעַט מֵאֱלֹהִים וְכָבוֹד וְהָדָר תְּעַטְּרֵהוּ וַתַּמְשִׁילֵהוּ בְּמַעֲשֵׂי יָדֶיךָ כֹּל שַׁתָּה תַחַת־רַגְלָיו
8 put al things under his feet. For in putting al things under him he made no exceptions. At present, it istrue, we are not able to see that all things are under him,	8 הִנֵּה בַּאֲשֶׁר שָׁת כֹּל תַּחְתָּיו לֹא־הִשְׁאִיר דָּבָר שֶׁלֹּא־שָׁת תַּחְתָּיו וְעַתָּה זֶה לֹא רָאִינוּ עֲדַיִן כִּי־כֹל הוּשַׁת תַּחְתָּיו
9 but we do see Jesus, who was for a short while made less than the angels, now crowned with glory andhonour because he submitted to death; so that by God's grace his experience of death should benefit allhumanity.	9 אֲבָל יֵשׁוּעַ הַמְחֻסָּר מְעַט מִמַּלְאָכִים אוֹתוֹ רָאִינוּ מְעֻטָּר בְּכָבוֹד וְהָדָר מִפְּנֵי עֻנּוּתוֹ עַד־מָוֶת לְמַעַן אֲשֶׁר יִטְעַם בְּחֶסֶד אֱלֹהִים אֶת־הַמָּוֶת בְּעַד כֻּלָּם
10 It was fitting that God, for whom and through whom everything exists, should, in bringing many sons toglory, make perfect through suffering the leader of their salvation.	10 כִּי־נָאֶה הָיָה לוֹ אֲשֶׁר הַכֹּל לְמַעֲנוֹ וְהַכֹּל עַל־יָדוֹ בְּהַנְחֹתוֹ בָּנִים רַבִּים לְכָבוֹד לְהַשְׁלִים בְּעִנּוּיִם אֶת־שַׂר יְשׁוּעָתָם
11 For consecrator and consecrated are al of the same stock; that is why he is not ashamed to call thembrothers	11 כִּי גַם־הַמְקַדֵּשׁ גַּם־הַמְקֻדָּשִׁים כֻּלָּם מֵאֶחָד הֵמָּה וְעַל־כֵּן לֹא בוֹשׁ מִקְּרֹא לָהֶם אַחִים
12 in the text: I shal proclaim your name to my brothers, praise you in full assembly; or in the text:	12 בְּאָמְרוֹ אֲסַפְּרָה שִׁמְךָ לְאֶחָי בְּתוֹךְ קָהָל אֲהַלֲלֶךָּ
13 I shal put my hope in him; fol owed by Look, I and the children whom God has given me.	13 וְעוֹד וְקִוֵּיתִי לוֹ וְעוֹד הִנֵּה אָנֹכִי וְהַיְלָדִים אֲשֶׁר נָתַן־לִי יְהוָֹה
14 Since al the children share the same human nature, he too shared equal y in it, so that by his deathhe could set aside him who held the power of death, namely the devil,	14 וְיַעַן כִּי הַיְלָדִים כֻּלָּם יַחְדָּו בָּשָׂר וָדָם אַף־הוּא לָבַשׁ בָּשָׂר וָדָם כְּמוֹהֶם לְמַעַן אֲשֶׁר יְבַטֵּל עַל־יְדֵי הַמָּוֶת אֵת אֲשֶׁר־לוֹ מֶמְשֶׁלֶת הַמָּוֶת הוּא הַשָּׂטָן
15 and set free al those who had been held in slavery all their lives by the fear of death.	15 וּלְהַתִּיר אֶת־אֵלֶּה אֲשֶׁר מֵאֵימַת הַמָּוֶת הָיוּ נְתֻנִים לְעַבְדוּת כָּל־יְמֵי חַיֵּיהֶם
16 For it was not the angels that he took to himself; he took to himself the line of Abraham.	16 כִּי אָמְנָם לֹא בְּמַלְאָכִים הֶחֱזִיק כִּי אִם־בְּזֶרַע אַבְרָהָם הֶחֱזִיק
17 It was essential that he should in this way be made completely like his brothers so that he couldbecome a compassionate and trustworthy high priest for their relationship to God, able to expiate the sins of thepeople.	17 עַל־כֵּן הָיָה עָלָיו לְהִדָּמוֹת לְאֶחָיו בְּכָל־דָּבָר לְמַעַן אֲשֶׁר־יִהְיֶה כֹּהֵן גָּדוֹל רַחֲמָן וְנֶאֱמָן בְּעִנְיְנֵי אֱלֹהִים לְכַפֵּר עַל־חַטֹּאת הָעָם
18 For the suffering he himself passed through while being put to the test enables him to help otherswhen they are being put to the test.	18 כִּי בַאֲשֶׁר הוּא בְעַצְמוֹ עֻנָּה וְנִתְנַסֶּה יָכֹל לַעֲזֹר אֶת־הַמְנֻסִּים
