Hebreos 2
Dios Habla Hoy
Importancia de la salvación anunciada
2 Por esta causa debemos prestar mucha más atención al mensaje que hemos oído, para que no nos apartemos del camino. 2 Los mandamientos que Dios dio en otros tiempos por medio de los ángeles, tenían fuerza de ley, y quienes pecaron y los desobedecieron fueron castigados justamente. 3 ¿Cómo, pues, escaparemos nosotros, si descuidamos una salvación tan grande? Pues el mismo Señor fue quien anunció primero esta salvación, la cual después confirmaron entre nosotros los que oyeron ese mensaje. 4 Además, Dios la ha confirmado con señales, maravillas y muchos milagros, y por medio del Espíritu Santo, que nos ha dado de diferentes maneras, conforme a su voluntad.
Jesús, semejante a sus hermanos
5 Dios no ha puesto bajo la autoridad de los ángeles ese mundo futuro del cual estamos hablando. 6 Al contrario, en un lugar de la Escritura alguien declara:
«¿Qué es el hombre? ¿Qué es el ser humano?
¿Por qué lo recuerdas y te preocupas por él?
7 Por un poco de tiempo lo hiciste algo menor que los ángeles,
pero lo coronaste de gloria y honor;
8 todo lo sujetaste debajo de sus pies.»
Así que, al sujetarlo todo debajo de sus pies, Dios no dejó nada sin sujetarlo a él. Sin embargo, todavía no vemos que todo le esté sujeto. 9 Pero vemos que Jesús, a quien Dios hizo algo menor que los ángeles por un poco de tiempo, está coronado de gloria y honor, a causa de la muerte que sufrió. Dios, en su amor, quiso que experimentara la muerte para bien de todos.
10 Todas las cosas existen para Dios y por la acción de Dios, que quiere que todos sus hijos tengan parte en su gloria. Por eso, Dios, por medio del sufrimiento, tenía que hacer perfecto a Jesucristo, el Salvador de ellos. 11 Porque todos son del mismo Padre: tanto los consagrados como el que los consagra. Por esta razón, el Hijo de Dios no se avergüenza de llamarlos hermanos, 12 al decir en la Escritura:
«Hablaré de ti a mis hermanos,
y te cantaré himnos en medio de la congregación.»
13 También dice:
«En él pondré mi esperanza.»
Y otra vez dice:
«Aquí estoy, con los hijos que Dios me dio.»
14 Así como los hijos de una familia son de la misma carne y sangre, así también Jesús fue de carne y sangre humanas, para derrotar con su muerte al que tenía poder para matar, es decir, al diablo. 15 De esta manera ha dado libertad a todos los que por miedo a la muerte viven como esclavos durante toda la vida. 16 Pues ciertamente no vino para ayudar a los ángeles, sino a los descendientes de Abraham. 17 Y para eso tenía que hacerse igual en todo a sus hermanos, para llegar a ser Sumo sacerdote, fiel y compasivo en su servicio a Dios, y para obtener el perdón de los pecados de los hombres por medio del sacrificio. 18 Y como él mismo sufrió y fue puesto a prueba, ahora puede ayudar a los que también son puestos a prueba.
Hebrews 2
New King James Version
Do Not Neglect Salvation
2 Therefore we must give [a]the more earnest heed to the things we have heard, lest we drift away. 2 For if the word (A)spoken through angels proved steadfast, and (B)every transgression and disobedience received a just [b]reward, 3 (C)how shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation, (D)which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was (E)confirmed to us by those who heard Him, 4 (F)God also bearing witness (G)both with signs and wonders, with various miracles, and (H)gifts[c] of the Holy Spirit, (I)according to His own will?
The Son Made Lower than Angels(J)
5 For He has not put (K)the world to come, of which we speak, in subjection to angels. 6 But one testified in a certain place, saying:
(L)“What is man that You are mindful of him,
Or the son of man that You take care of him?
7 You have made him [d]a little lower than the angels;
You have crowned him with glory and honor,
[e]And set him over the works of Your hands.
8 (M)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 (N)we do not yet see all things put under him. 9 But we see Jesus, (O)who was made [f]a little lower than the angels, for the suffering of death (P)crowned with glory and honor, that He, by the grace of God, might taste death (Q)for everyone.
Bringing Many Sons to Glory
10 For it was fitting for Him, (R)for whom are all things and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to make the captain of their salvation (S)perfect through sufferings. 11 For (T)both He who [g]sanctifies and those who are being sanctified (U)are all of one, for which reason (V)He is not ashamed to call them brethren, 12 saying:
(W)“I will declare Your name to My brethren;
In the midst of the assembly I will sing praise to You.”
13 And again:
(X)“I will put My trust in Him.”
And again:
(Y)“Here am I and the children whom God has given Me.”
14 Inasmuch then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He (Z)Himself likewise shared in the same, (AA)that through death He might destroy him who had the power of (AB)death, that is, the devil, 15 and release those who (AC)through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. 16 For indeed He does not [h]give aid to angels, but He does [i]give aid to the seed of Abraham. 17 Therefore, in all things He had (AD)to be made like His brethren, that He might be (AE)a merciful and faithful High Priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people. 18 (AF)For in that He Himself has suffered, being [j]tempted, He is able to aid those who are tempted.

Hebrews 2
New International Version
Warning to Pay Attention
2 We must pay the most careful attention, therefore, to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away.(A) 2 For since the message spoken(B) through angels(C) was binding, and every violation and disobedience received its just punishment,(D) 3 how shall we escape if we ignore so great a salvation?(E) This salvation, which was first announced by the Lord,(F) was confirmed to us by those who heard him.(G) 4 God also testified to it by signs, wonders and various miracles,(H) and by gifts of the Holy Spirit(I) distributed according to his will.(J)
Jesus Made Fully Human
5 It is not to angels that he has subjected the world to come, about which we are speaking. 6 But there is a place where someone(K) has testified:
“What is mankind that you are mindful of them,
a son of man that you care for him?(L)
7 You made them a little[a] lower than the angels;
you crowned them with glory and honor
8 and put everything under their feet.”[b][c](M)
In putting everything under them,[d] God left nothing that is not subject to them.[e] Yet at present we do not see everything subject to them.[f] 9 But we do see Jesus, who was made lower than the angels for a little while, now crowned with glory and honor(N) because he suffered death,(O) so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone.(P)
10 In bringing many sons and daughters to glory, it was fitting that God, for whom and through whom everything exists,(Q) should make the pioneer of their salvation perfect through what he suffered.(R) 11 Both the one who makes people holy(S) and those who are made holy(T) are of the same family. So Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers and sisters.[g](U) 12 He says,
“I will declare your name to my brothers and sisters;
in the assembly I will sing your praises.”[h](V)
13 And again,
And again he says,
14 Since the children have flesh and blood,(Y) he too shared in their humanity(Z) so that by his death he might break the power(AA) of him who holds the power of death—that is, the devil(AB)— 15 and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear(AC) of death. 16 For surely it is not angels he helps, but Abraham’s descendants.(AD) 17 For this reason he had to be made like them,[k](AE) fully human in every way, in order that he might become a merciful(AF) and faithful high priest(AG) in service to God,(AH) and that he might make atonement for the sins of the people.(AI) 18 Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.(AJ)
