§2.1Διὰ τοῦτο δεῖ περισσοτέρως προσέχειν ἡμᾶς τοῖς ἀκουσθεῖσιν, μή ποτε παραρυῶμεν.
Therefore we must pay much closer attention to what we have heard, lest we drift away from it.
§2.2εἰ γὰρ ὁ διʼ ἀγγέλων λαληθεὶς λόγος ἐγένετο βέβαιος, καὶ πᾶσα παράβασις καὶ παρακοὴ ἔλαβεν ἔνδικον μισθαποδοσίαν, §2.3πῶς ἡμεῖς ἐκφευξόμεθα τηλικαύτης ἀμελήσαντες σωτηρίας, ἥτις, ἀρχὴν λαβοῦσα λαλεῖσθαι διὰ τοῦ κυρίου, ὑπὸ τῶν ἀκουσάντων εἰς ἡμᾶς ἐβεβαιώθη, §2.4συνεπιμαρτυροῦντος τοῦ θεοῦ σημείοις τε καὶ τέρασιν καὶ ποικίλαις δυνάμεσιν καὶ πνεύματος ἁγίου μερισμοῖς κατὰ τὴν αὐτοῦ θέλησιν;
For if the word spoken through angels proved steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just penalty, how shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation, which, having at first been spoken through the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard, while God also bore witness by signs and wonders and various miracles and gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to his own will?
§2.5Οὐ γὰρ ἀγγέλοις ὑπέταξεν τὴν οἰκουμένην τὴν μέλλουσαν, περὶ ἧς λαλοῦμεν·
For he did not subject to angels the world to come, concerning which we are speaking.
§2.6διεμαρτύρατο δέ πού τις λέγων
"
Τί ἐστιν ἄνθρωπος ὅτι μιμνήσκῃ αὐτοῦ,
ἢ υἱὸς ἀνθρώπου ὅτι ἐπισκέπτῃ αὐτόν; "
But someone has testified somewhere, saying, "What is man, that you are mindful of him, or the son of man, that you care for him?
§2.7"
ἠλάττωσας αὐτὸν βραχύ τι παρʼ ἀγγέλους,
δόξῃ καὶ τιμῇ ἐστεφάνωσας αὐτόν,
[καὶ κατέστησας αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τὰ ἔργα τῶν χειρῶν σου,]
" §2.8"
πάντα ὑπέταξας ὑποκάτω τῶν ποδῶν αὐτού·
"" You made him for a little while lower than the angels; you crowned him with glory and honor, [and appointed him over the works of your hands,] "" you subjected all things under his feet.
"
ἐν τῷ γὰρ
"ὑποτάξαι"
[αὐτῷ] τὰ
"πάντα"
οὐδὲν ἀφῆκεν αὐτῷ ἀνυπότακτον.
"For in "subjecting" "all things" to him, he left nothing that is not subject to him.
νῦν δὲ οὔπω ὁρῶμεν αὐτῷ τὰ
"πάντα ὑποτεταγμένα· "
But now we do not yet see "all things subjected" to him.
§2.9τὸν δὲ
"βραχύ τι παρʼ ἀγγέλους ἠλαττωμένον"
βλέπομεν Ἰησοῦν διὰ τὸ πάθημα τοῦ θανάτου
"δόξῃ καὶ τιμῇ ἐστεφανωμένον,"
ὅπως χάριτι θεοῦ ὑπὲρ παντὸς γεύσηται θανάτου.
But we see Jesus, who was "made for a little while lower than the angels" because of the suffering of death, "crowned with glory and honor," so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone.
§2.10Ἔπρεπεν γὰρ αὐτῷ, διʼ ὃν τὰ πάντα καὶ διʼ οὗ τὰ πάντα, πολλοὺς υἱοὺς εἰς δόξαν ἀγαγόντα τὸν ἀρχηγὸν τῆς σωτηρίας αὐτῶν διὰ παθημάτων τελειῶσαι.
For it was fitting for him, for whom are all things and through whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to make the pioneer of their salvation perfect through sufferings.
§2.11ὅ τε γὰρ ἁγιάζων καὶ οἱ ἁγιαζόμενοι ἐξ ἑνὸς πάντες·
For both he who sanctifies and those who are sanctified are all from one.
διʼ ἣν αἰτίαν οὐκ ἐπαισχύνεται
"ἀδελφοὺς"
αὐτοὺς καλεῖν, §2.12λέγων
"
Ἀπαγγελῶ τὸ ὄνομά σου τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς μου,
ἐν μέσῳ ἐκκλησίας ὑμνήσω σε· "
For this reason he is not ashamed to call them "brothers," saying, "I will proclaim your name to my brothers; in the midst of the congregation I will praise you.
§2.13καὶ πάλιν
"
Ἐγὼ ἔσομαι πεποιθὼς ἐπʼ αὐτῷ·
"And again, "I will put my trust in him.
"
καὶ πάλιν
"
Ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ καὶ τὰ παιδία ἅ μοι ἔδωκεν ὁ θεός. "
"And again, "Behold, I and the children whom God has given me.
§2.14ἐπεὶ οὖν
"τὰ παιδία"
κεκοινώνηκεν αἵματος καὶ σαρκός, καὶ αὐτὸς παραπλησίως μετέσχεν τῶν αὐτῶν, ἵνα διὰ τοῦ θανάτου καταργήσῃ τὸν τὸ κράτος ἔχοντα τοῦ θανάτου, τοῦτʼ ἔστι τὸν διάβολον, §2.15καὶ ἀπαλλάξῃ τούτους, ὅσοι φόβῳ θανάτου διὰ παντὸς τοῦ ζῇν ἔνοχοι ἦσαν δουλείας.
"Since therefore "the children" share in flesh and blood, he himself likewise shared in the same things, so that through death he might destroy the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil, and free those who through fear of death were subject to lifelong slavery.
§2.16οὐ γὰρ δή που ἀγγέλων ἐπιλαμβάνεται, ἀλλὰ σπέρματος Ἀβραὰμ ἐπιλαμβάνεται.
For surely he does not give help to angels, but he gives help to the descendant of Abraham.
§2.17ὅθεν ὤφειλεν κατὰ πάντα
"τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς"
ὁμοιωθῆναι, ἵνα ἐλεήμων γένηται καὶ πιστὸς ἀρχιερεὺς τὰ πρὸς τὸν θεόν, εἰς τὸ ἱλάσκεσθαι τὰς ἁμαρτίας τοῦ λαοῦ·
Therefore he had to be made like "his brothers" in every respect, so that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in the service of God, to make atonement for the sins of the people.
§2.18ἐν ᾧ γὰρ πέπονθεν αὐτὸς πειρασθείς, δύναται τοῖς πειραζομένοις βοηθῆσαι.
For because he himself has suffered when tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.
