へブル人への手紙 2
Japanese Living Bible
イエスの死は私たちのため
2 ですから私たちは、すでに聞いたことを、ますますしっかり心にとめなければなりません。そうでないと、真理から離れて漂流することになります。 2 天使のことばでさえいつも真理と認められ、そのことばに従わない人は罰せられました。 3 そうであれば、主イエスご自身の口から語られ、それを聞いた人たちが伝えたこのすばらしい救いの教えを無視したなら、どうして罰を逃れることができるでしょう。 4 神は、この救いのことばの真実を、多くのしるしと不思議と奇跡によって示し、聖霊が信じる者に与えてくださる賜物によって、はっきり証明されました。神は、この賜物を私たち一人一人に下さったのです。
5 私たちがいま話している未来の世界は、天使が支配する世界ではありません。 6 なぜなら、ダビデは神にこう語りかけているからです。
「あなたが、
こんなにも大きな関心をお寄せになる人間とは、
いったい何者でしょう。
こんなにも高い栄誉をお与えになった人の子とは、
いったいどなたでしょう。
7 あなたはその方を、しばらくの間、
天使よりも低いものとしましたが、
今は、栄光と誉れの冠をお授けになり、
8 この世に存在するものすべてを支配する権威を
お与えになったのです。」（詩篇8・4-6）
その支配を逃れるものは何一つありません。私たちはまだ、このことばの完全な実現を見てはいません。 9 しかし、しばらくの間、天使よりも低くされ、私たちのために死の苦しみを味わうことによって、栄光と誉れの冠を受けられたイエスを見ています。イエスは、神の大いなる恵みのゆえに全人類のために死なれたのです。 10 すべてのものをお造りになった神が、ご自分を信じる者たちを栄光ある天まで引き上げるためにイエスを苦しみに会わせられたのは、まことに正しいことでした。イエスはこの苦しみをくぐり抜けて、人々を救いに導くにふさわしい方となられたのです。 11 イエスによってきよめられた私たちは、今では、イエスと同じ父（神）を持っています。だからこそイエスは、私たちを兄弟と呼ぶことを恥とはなさらないのです。 12 イエスは、こう言っておられます。「わたしは、父なる神のことを兄弟たちに語ろう。そして、声を合わせて神を賛美しよう。」（詩篇22・22） 13 また、「兄弟たちと共に、神を信じよう」とも、「さあ、わたしはここにいる。神が与えてくださった子どもたちといっしょに」（イザヤ8・17-18）とも述べています。
14 神の子どもである私たちは、血も肉もある人間です。そこでイエスも、血肉を持った人間の姿でお生まれになりました。それは人間として死ぬことにより、死の権力をふるう悪魔の力を打ち砕くためです。 15 これだけが、一生涯死の恐怖の奴隷となっている人間を救い出す方法だったのです。 16 私たちは、イエスが天使としてではなく、一人の人間、一人のユダヤ人として来られたことを知っています。 17 イエスは、あらゆる点で、兄弟である私たちと同じになることが必要だったのです。そうして初めて、イエスは、私たちにとってはあわれみ深く、神にとっては忠実な大祭司として、私たちの罪を取り除くことができたのです。 18 自ら試練と非常な苦しみを体験された主イエスだからこそ、試練にあえいでいる私たちを助けることがおできになるのです。
Hebreo 2
Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
Babala sa mga Lumilihis ng Landas
2 Kaya dapat nating panghawakang mabuti ang mga katotohanang narinig natin para hindi tayo maligaw. 2 Isipin ninyo: Ang Kautusang ibinigay ng Dios sa pamamagitan ng mga anghel ay napatunayang totoo, at tumanggap ng kaukulang parusa ang bawat taong lumabag o sumuway dito. 3 Kaya hindi tayo makakaligtas kung babalewalain natin ang dakilang kaligtasang ito. Ang Panginoon mismo ang unang nagpahayag ng kaligtasang ito, at pinatunayan sa atin ng mga nakarinig sa kanya. 4 Pinatunayan din ito ng Dios sa pamamagitan ng mga himala at mga kamangha-manghang gawa, at ibaʼt ibang kakayahang kaloob ng Banal na Espiritu na ipinamahagi niya ayon sa kanyang kalooban.
Dumating ang Kaligtasan sa Pamamagitan ni Cristo
5 Ngayon, tungkol sa mundong darating na sinasabi namin, hindi ito ipinamahala ng Dios sa mga anghel. 6 Sapagkat ito ang sinasabi ng Kasulatan:
“O Dios, ano ba ang tao upang inyong alalahanin?
Sino nga ba siya upang inyong kalingain?
7 Sa maikling panahon ginawa ninyong mas mababa ang kalagayan niya kaysa sa mga anghel.
Ngunit pinarangalan nʼyo siya bilang hari, 8 at ipinasakop nʼyo sa kanyang kapangyarihan ang lahat ng bagay.”[a]
Ang sinasabi ng Kasulatan na ipinasakop ang lahat ng bagay sa tao ay nangangahulugang darating ang araw na walang anumang bagay na hindi maipapasakop sa tao. Pero ngayon, hindi pa natin nakikita na sakop ng tao ang lahat ng bagay. 9 Ngunit kung tungkol kay Jesus, alam natin na sa maikling panahon naging mas mababa ang kalagayan niya kaysa sa mga anghel, para maranasan niyang mamatay para sa lahat sa pamamagitan ng biyaya ng Dios. At ngayon, binigyan siya ng karangalan at kadakilaan dahil tiniis niya ang kamatayan. 10 Ginawa ng Dios ang lahat ng bagay, at ginawa niya ito para sa sarili niya. Kaya marapat lang na pumayag siyang maghirap si Jesus, para lubos na magampanan ni Jesus ang nararapat bilang pinagmumulan ng kaligtasan. Sa ganoon, maraming mga tao ang magiging kanyang mga anak na kanyang mapaparangalan. 11 Si Jesus ang naglilinis ng ating mga kasalanan. At ang kanyang Ama ay siya rin nating Ama. Kaya hindi niya ikinakahiya na ituring tayong mga kapatid niya. 12 Ito ang sinabi niya sa kanyang Ama:
“Ipapahayag ko sa aking mga kapatid ang mga ginawa mo, at aawit ako ng papuri sa iyo sa piling ng mga sumasamba sa iyo.”[b]
13 Sinabi rin niya,
“Magtitiwala ako sa Dios.”[c]
At idinagdag pa niya,
“Narito ako, kasama ang mga anak ng Dios na kanyang ibinigay sa akin.”[d]
14 At yamang ang mga anak ng Dios na binanggit niya ay mga taong may laman at dugo, naging tao rin si Jesus upang sa pamamagitan ng kanyang kamatayan ay malupig niya ang diyablo na siyang may kapangyarihan sa kamatayan. 15 Sa ganitong paraan, pinalaya niya sila na naging alipin ng takot sa kamatayan sa buong buhay nila. 16 Kaya malinaw na hindi ang mga anghel ang tinutulungan ni Jesus kundi ang lahi ni Abraham. 17 Ito ang dahilan kung bakit kinailangang magkatawang-tao ni Jesus, upang maging katulad siya ng mga kapatid niya sa lahat ng bagay. Sa ganoon, siya ay magiging punong pari nila na maawain at tapat, na makapaghahandog sa Dios para sa kapatawaran ng mga kasalanan ng tao. 18 At dahil siya mismo ay nakaranas ng paghihirap nang tinukso siya, matutulungan niya ang mga dumaranas ng tukso.
Hebrews 2
GOD’S WORD Translation
Everything Is under Jesus’ Control
2 For this reason we must pay closer attention to what we have heard. Then we won’t drift away ⌞from the truth⌟. 2 After all, the message that the angels brought was reliable, and every violation and act of disobedience was properly punished. 3 So how will we escape punishment if we reject the important message, the message that God saved us? First, the Lord told this saving message. Then those who heard him confirmed that message. 4 God verified what they said through miraculous signs, amazing things, other powerful acts, and with other gifts from the Holy Spirit as he wanted.
5 He didn’t put the world that will come (about which we are talking) under the angels’ control. 6 Instead, someone has declared this somewhere in Scripture:
“What is a mortal that you should remember him,
or the Son of Man [a] that you take care of him?
7 You made him a little lower than the angels.
You crowned him with glory and honor.
8 You put everything under his control.”
When God put everything under his Son’s control, nothing was left out.
However, at the present time we still don’t see everything under his Son’s control. 9 Jesus was made a little lower than the angels, but we see him crowned with glory and honor because he suffered death. Through God’s kindness [b] he died on behalf of everyone. 10 God is the one for whom and through whom everything exists. Therefore, while God was bringing many sons and daughters to glory, it was the right time to bring Jesus, the source of their salvation, to the end of his work through suffering.
Jesus Became One of Us to Help Us
11 Jesus, who makes people holy, and all those who are made holy have the same Father. That is why Jesus isn’t ashamed to call them brothers and sisters. 12 He says,
“I will tell my people about your name.
I will praise you within the congregation.”
13 In addition, Jesus says,
“I will trust him.”
And Jesus says,
“I am here with the sons and daughters God has given me.”
14 Since all of these sons and daughters have flesh and blood, Jesus took on flesh and blood to be like them. He did this so that by dying he would destroy the one who had power over death (that is, the devil). 15 In this way he would free those who were slaves all their lives because they were afraid of dying. 16 So Jesus helps Abraham’s descendants rather than helping angels. 17 Therefore, he had to become like his brothers and sisters so that he could be merciful. He became like them so that he could serve as a faithful chief priest in God’s presence and make peace with God for their sins. 18 Because Jesus experienced temptation when he suffered, he is able to help others when they are tempted.
