Lettera agli Ebrei - Hebrews 2

GREEK BIBLE	NEW JERUSALEM
1 Δια τουτο πρεπει ημεις να προσεχωμεν περισσοτερον εις οσα ηκουσαμεν, δια να μη εκπεσωμεν ποτε.	1 We ought, then, to turn our minds more attentively than before to what we have been taught, so that wedo not drift away.
2 Διοτι εαν ο λογος ο λαληθεις δι' αγγελων εγεινε βεβαιος, και πασα παραβασις και παρακοη ελαβε δικαιαν μισθαποδοσιαν,	2 If a message that was spoken through angels proved to be so reliable that every infringement anddisobedience brought its own proper punishment,
3 πως ημεις θελομεν εκφυγει, εαν αμελησωμεν τοσον μεγαλην σωτηριαν; ητις αρχισασα να λαληται δια του Κυριου, εβεβαιωθη εις ημας υπο των ακουσαντων,	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;
4 και ο Θεος συνεπεμαρτυρει με σημεια και τερατα και με διαφορα θαυματα και με διανομας του Αγιου Πνευματος κατα την θελησιν αυτου.	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.
5 Διοτι δεν υπεταξεν εις αγγελους την οικουμενην την μελλουσαν, περι της οποιας λαλουμεν.	5 It was not under angels that he put the world to come, about which we are speaking.
6 Εμαρτυρησε δε τις εν τινι μερει, λεγων? Τι ειναι ο ανθρωπος, ωστε να ενθυμησαι αυτον, Η ο υιος του ανθρωπου, ωστε να επισκεπτησαι αυτον;	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?
7 Εκαμες αυτον ολιγον τι κατωτερον των αγγελων, με δοξαν και τιμην εστεφανωσας αυτον και κατεστησας αυτον επι τα εργα των χειρων σου?	7 For a short while you have made him less than the angels; you have crowned him with glory andhonour,
8 Παντα υπεταξας υποκατω των ποδων αυτου. Διοτι υποταξας εις αυτον τα παντα, δεν αφηκεν ουδεν ανυποτακτον εις αυτον. Τωρα ομως δεν βλεπομεν ετι τα παντα υποτεταγμενα εις αυτον?	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,
9 τον δε ολιγον τι παρα τους αγγελους ηλαττωμενον Ιησουν βλεπομεν δια το παθημα του θανατου με δοξαν και τιμην εστεφανωμενον, δια να γευθη θανατον υπερ παντος ανθρωπου δια της χαριτος του Θεου.	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.
10 Διοτι επρεπεν εις αυτον, δια τον οποιον ειναι τα παντα και δια του οποιου εγειναν τα παντα, φερων εις την δοξαν πολλους υιους, να καμη τελειον τον αρχηγον της σωτηριας αυτων δια των παθηματων.	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.
11 Επειδη και ο αγιαζων και οι αγιαζομενοι εξ ενος ειναι παντες? δι' ην αιτιαν δεν επαισχυνεται να ονομαζη αυτους αδελφους,	11 For consecrator and consecrated are al of the same stock; that is why he is not ashamed to call thembrothers
12 λεγων? Θελω απαγγειλει το ονομα σου προς τους αδελφους μου, εν μεσω εκκλησιας θελω σε υμνησει?	12 in the text: I shal proclaim your name to my brothers, praise you in full assembly; or in the text:
13 και παλιν? Εγω θελω εχει την πεποιθησιν μου επ' αυτον? και παλιν? Ιδου, εγω και τα παιδια, τα οποια μοι εδωκεν ο Θεος.	13 I shal put my hope in him; fol owed by Look, I and the children whom God has given me.
14 Επειδη λοιπον τα παιδια εμεθεξαν απο σαρκος και αιματος, και αυτος παρομοιως μετελαβεν απο των αυτων, δια να καταργηση δια του θανατου τον εχοντα το κρατος του θανατου, τουτεστι τον διαβολον,	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,
15 και ελευθερωση εκεινους, οσοι δια τον φοβον του θανατου ησαν δια παντος του βιου υποκειμενοι εις την δουλειαν.	15 and set free al those who had been held in slavery all their lives by the fear of death.
16 Διοτι βεβαιως δεν ανελαβεν αγγελων φυσιν, αλλα σπερματος Αβρααμ ανελαβεν.	16 For it was not the angels that he took to himself; he took to himself the line of Abraham.
17 Οθεν επρεπε να ομοιωθη κατα παντα με τους αδελφους, δια να γεινη ελεημων και πιστος αρχιερευς εις τα προς τον Θεον, δια να καμνη εξιλεωσιν υπερ των αμαρτιων του λαου.	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.
18 Επειδη καθ' οτι αυτος επαθε πειρασθεις, δυναται να βοηθηση τους πειραζομενους.	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.
