The Latin Vulgate VUL
New King James Version NKJV
1 propterea abundantius oportet observare nos ea quae audivimus ne forte pereffluamus
1
Therefore we must give the more earnest heed to the things we have heard, lest we drift away.
2 si enim qui per angelos dictus est sermo factus est firmus et omnis praevaricatio et inoboedientia accepit iustam mercedis retributionem
2
For if the word spoken through angels proved steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just reward,
3 quomodo nos effugiemus si tantam neglexerimus salutem quae cum initium accepisset enarrari per Dominum ab eis qui audierunt in nos confirmata est
3
how shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation, which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed to us by those who heard Him,
4 contestante Deo signis et portentis et variis virtutibus et Spiritus Sancti distributionibus secundum suam voluntatem
4
God also bearing witness both with signs and wonders, with various miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit, according to His own will?
5 non enim angelis subiecit orbem terrae futurum de quo loquimur
5
For He has not put the world to come, of which we speak, in subjection to angels.
6 testatus est autem in quodam loco quis dicens quid est homo quod memor es eius aut filius hominis quoniam visitas eum
6
But one testified in a certain place, saying: "What is man that You are mindful of him, Or the son of man that You take care of him?
7 minuisti eum paulo minus ab angelis gloria et honore coronasti eum et constituisti eum super opera manuum tuarum
7
You have made him a little lower than the angels; You have crowned him with glory and honor, And set him over the works of Your hands.
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
8
You have put all things in subjection under his feet." For in that He put all in subjection under him, He left nothing that is not put under him. But now we do not yet see all things put under him.
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
9
But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, for the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that He, by the grace of God, might taste death for everyone.
10 decebat enim eum propter quem omnia et per quem omnia qui multos filios in gloriam adduxerat auctorem salutis eorum per passiones consummare
10
For it was fitting for Him, for whom are all things and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.
11 qui enim sanctificat et qui sanctificantur ex uno omnes propter quam causam non confunditur fratres eos vocare dicens
11
For both He who sanctifies and those who are being sanctified are all of one, for which reason He is not ashamed to call them brethren,
12 nuntiabo nomen tuum fratribus meis in medio ecclesiae laudabo te
12
saying: "I will declare Your name to My brethren; In the midst of the assembly I will sing praise to You."
13 et iterum ego ero fidens in eum et iterum ecce ego et pueri mei quos mihi dedit Deus
13
And again: "I will put My trust in Him." And again: "Here am I and the children whom God has given Me."
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
14
Inasmuch then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He Himself likewise shared in the same, that through death He might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil,
15 et liberaret eos qui timore mortis per totam vitam obnoxii erant servituti
15
and release those who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.
16 nusquam enim angelos adprehendit sed semen Abrahae adprehendit
16
For indeed He does not give aid to angels, but He does give aid to the seed of Abraham.
17 unde debuit per omnia fratribus similare ut misericors fieret et fidelis pontifex ad Deum ut repropitiaret delicta populi
17
Therefore, in all things He had to be made like His brethren, that He might be a merciful and faithful High Priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people.
18 in eo enim in quo passus est ipse temptatus potens est eis qui temptantur auxiliari
18
For in that He Himself has suffered, being tempted, He is able to aid those who are tempted.
