Hebrews 2

The Complete Jewish Bible CJB

1 Therefore, we must pay much more careful heed to the things we have heard, so that we will not drift away.

2 For if the word God spoke through angels became binding, so that every violation and act of disobedience received its just deserts in full measure,

3 then how will we escape if we ignore such a great deliverance? This deliverance, which was first declared by the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard him;

4 while God also bore witness to it with various signs, wonders and miracles, and with gifts of the Ruach HaKodesh which he distributed as he chose.

5 For it was not to angels that God subjected the 'olam haba - which is what we are talking about.

6 And there is a place where someone has given this solemn testimony: "What is mere man, that you concern yourself with him? or the son of man, that you watch over him with such care?

7 You made him a little lower than the angels, you crowned him with glory and honor,

8 you put everything in subjection under his feet." In subjecting everything to him, he left nothing unsubjected to him. However, at present, we don't see everything subjected to him - at least, not yet.

9 But we do see Yeshua - who indeed was made for a little while lower than the angels - now crowned with glory and honor because he suffered death, so that by God's grace he might taste death for all humanity.

10 For in bringing many sons to glory, it was only fitting that God, the Creator and Preserver of everything, should bring the Initiator of their deliverance to the goal through sufferings.

11 For both Yeshua, who sets people apart for God, and the ones being set apart have a common origin - this is why he is not ashamed to call them brothers

12 when he says, "I will proclaim your name to my brothers; in the midst of the congregation I will sing your praise."

13 Also, "I will put my trust in him, . . ." and then it goes on, "Here I am, along with the children God has given me."

14 Therefore, since the children share a common physical nature as human beings, he became like them and shared that same human nature; so that by his death he might render ineffective the one who had power over death (that is, the Adversary)

15 and thus set free those who had been in bondage all their lives because of their fear of death.

16 Indeed, it is obvious that he does not take hold of angels to help them; on the contrary, "He takes hold of the seed of Avraham."

17 This is why he had to become like his brothers in every respect - so that he might become a merciful and faithful cohen gadol in the service of God, making a kapparah for the sins of the people.

18 For since he himself suffered death when he was put to the test, he is able to help those who are being tested now.

The Bible in Basic English BBE

1 For this reason there is the more need for us to give attention to the things which have come to our ears, for fear that by chance we might be slipping away.

2 Because if the word which came through the angels was fixed, and in the past every evil act against God's orders was given its full punishment;

3 What will come on us, if we do not give our minds to such a great salvation? a salvation of which our fathers first had knowledge through the words of the Lord, and which was made certain to us by those to whom his words came;

4 And God was a witness with them, by signs and wonders, and by more than natural powers, and by his distribution of the Holy Spirit at his pleasure.

5 For he did not make the angels rulers over the world to come, of which I am writing.

6 But a certain writer has given his witness, saying, What is man, that you keep him in mind? what is the son of man, that you take him into account?

7 You made him a little lower than the angels; you gave him a crown of glory and honour, and made him ruler over all the works of your hands:

8 You put all things under his feet. For in making man the ruler over all things, God did not put anything outside his authority; though we do not see everything under him now.

9 But we see him who was made a little lower than the angels, even Jesus, crowned with glory and honour, because he let himself be put to death so that by the grace of God he might undergo death for all men.

10 Because it was right for him, for whom and through whom all things have being, in guiding his sons to glory, to make the captain of their salvation complete through pain.

11 For he who makes holy and those who are made holy are all of one family; and for this reason it is no shame for him to give them the name of brothers,

12 Saying, I will give the knowledge of your name to my brothers, I will make a song of praise to you before the church.

13 And again he says, I will put my faith in him. And again, See, I am here, and the children which God has given to me.

14 And because the children are flesh and blood, he took a body himself and became like them; so that by his death he might put an end to him who had the power of death, that is to say, the Evil One;

15 And let those who all their lives were in chains because of their fear of death, go free.

16 For, truly, he does not take on the life of angels, but that of the seed of Abraham.

17 Because of this it was necessary for him to be made like his brothers in every way, so that he might be a high priest full of mercy and keeping faith in everything to do with God, making offerings for the sins of the people.

18 For having been put to the test himself, he is able to give help to others when they are tested.
