Hebrews 2

The Message Bible MSG

1 It's crucial that we keep a firm grip on what we've heard so that we don't drift off.

2 If the old message delivered by the angels was valid and nobody got away with anything,

3 do you think we can risk neglecting this latest message, this magnificent salvation? First of all, it was delivered in person by the Master, then accurately passed on to us by those who heard it from him.

4 All the while God was validating it with gifts through the Holy Spirit, all sorts of signs and miracles, as he saw fit.

5 God didn't put angels in charge of this business of salvation that we're dealing with here.

6 It says in Scripture, What is man and woman that you bother with them; why take a second look their way?

7 You made them not quite as high as angels, bright with Eden's dawn light;

8 Then you put them in charge of your entire handcrafted world.

9 What we do see is Jesus, made "not quite as high as angels," and then, through the experience of death, crowned so much higher than any angel, with a glory "bright with Eden's dawn light." In that death, by God's grace, he fully experienced death in every person's place.

10 It makes good sense that the God who got everything started and keeps everything going now completes the work by making the Salvation Pioneer perfect through suffering as he leads all these people to glory.

11 Since the One who saves and those who are saved have a common origin, Jesus doesn't hesitate to treat them as family,

12 Saying, I'll tell my good friends, my brothers and sisters, all I know about you; I'll join them in worship and praise to you.

13 Again, he puts himself in the same family circle when he says, Even I live by placing my trust in God. And yet again, I'm here with the children God gave me.

14 Since the children are made of flesh and blood, it's logical that the Savior took on flesh and blood in order to rescue them by his death. By embracing death, taking it into himself, he destroyed the Devil's hold on death

15 and freed all who cower through life, scared to death of death.

16 It's obvious, of course, that he didn't go to all this trouble for angels. It was for people like us, children of Abraham.

17 That's why he had to enter into every detail of human life. Then, when he came before God as high priest to get rid of the people's sins,

18 he would have already experienced it all himself - all the pain, all the testing - and would be able to help where help was needed.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 propterea abundantius oportet observare nos ea quae audivimus ne forte pereffluamus

2 si enim qui per angelos dictus est sermo factus est firmus et omnis praevaricatio et inoboedientia accepit iustam mercedis retributionem

3 quomodo nos effugiemus si tantam neglexerimus salutem quae cum initium accepisset enarrari per Dominum ab eis qui audierunt in nos confirmata est

4 contestante Deo signis et portentis et variis virtutibus et Spiritus Sancti distributionibus secundum suam voluntatem

5 non enim angelis subiecit orbem terrae futurum de quo loquimur

6 testatus est autem in quodam loco quis dicens quid est homo quod memor es eius aut filius hominis quoniam visitas eum

7 minuisti eum paulo minus ab angelis gloria et honore coronasti eum et constituisti eum super opera manuum tuarum

8 omnia subiecisti sub pedibus eius in eo enim quod ei omnia subiecit nihil dimisit non subiectum ei nunc autem necdum videmus omnia subiecta ei

9 eum autem qui modico quam angeli minoratus est videmus Iesum propter passionem mortis gloria et honore coronatum ut gratia Dei pro omnibus gustaret mortem

10 decebat enim eum propter quem omnia et per quem omnia qui multos filios in gloriam adduxerat auctorem salutis eorum per passiones consummare

11 qui enim sanctificat et qui sanctificantur ex uno omnes propter quam causam non confunditur fratres eos vocare dicens

12 nuntiabo nomen tuum fratribus meis in medio ecclesiae laudabo te

13 et iterum ego ero fidens in eum et iterum ecce ego et pueri mei quos mihi dedit Deus

14 quia ergo pueri communicaverunt sanguini et carni et ipse similiter participavit hisdem ut per mortem destrueret eum qui habebat mortis imperium id est diabolum

15 et liberaret eos qui timore mortis per totam vitam obnoxii erant servituti

16 nusquam enim angelos adprehendit sed semen Abrahae adprehendit

17 unde debuit per omnia fratribus similare ut misericors fieret et fidelis pontifex ad Deum ut repropitiaret delicta populi

18 in eo enim in quo passus est ipse temptatus potens est eis qui temptantur auxiliari
