Hebrews 2
Revised Geneva Translation

2 Therefore we ought to diligently pay attention to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we drift away.

2 For if the word spoken by angels was steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense,

3 how shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation (which at first began to be preached by the Lord and was confirmed to us by those who heard Him;

4 God bearing witness to it both with signs and wonders, and with diverse miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to His own will)?

5 For He has not put the world to come (whereof we speak) in subjection to the angels.

6 But one in a certain place witnessed, saying, “What is man that You should be mindful of him; or the son of man that You would consider him?

7 “You made him a little inferior to the angels. You crowned him with glory and honor and have set him above the works of Your Hands.

8 “You have put all things in subjection under his feet.” And in that He has put all things in subjection under him, He left nothing that should not be subject to him. But we still do not see all things subjected to him.

9 But we see Jesus, who was made little inferior to the angels, crowned with glory and honor through the suffering of death. That by God’s grace He might taste death for everyone.

10 For it became Him for Whom all these things are - and by Whom all these things are (seeing that He brought many children to Glory) - that He should consecrate the Author of their salvation through afflictions.

11 For He Who sanctifies, and those who are sanctified, are all of One. Therefore, He is not ashamed to call them brothers,

12 saying, “I will declare Your Name to My brothers. In the midst of the Church I will sing praises to You.”

13 And again, “I will put My trust in Him.” And again, “Behold, here I am, and the children whom God has given Me.”

14 So then, as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he himself also took part with them, so that He might destroy (through death) him who had the power of death (namely, the Devil).

15 And that He might deliver all those who, for fear of death, were subject to bondage all their lifetime.

16 For He in no way took on the nature of angels, but He took on the seed of Abraham.

17 Therefore it was fitting for him to be made like his brothers in all things, so that He might be merciful, and a faithful High Priest in things concerning God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.

18 For in that he suffered, and was tempted, He is able to help those who are tempted.

La Biblia de las Américas

Peligro de la negligencia

2 Por tanto, debemos prestar mucha mayor atención a lo que hemos oído[a], no sea que nos desviemos(A). 2 Porque si la palabra hablada(B) por medio de ángeles(C) resultó ser inmutable[b], y toda transgresión y desobediencia(D) recibió una justa retribución(E), 3 ¿cómo escaparemos nosotros si descuidamos(F) una salvación(G) tan grande? La cual, después que fue anunciada[c](H) primeramente por medio del Señor, nos fue confirmada(I) por los que oyeron, 4 testificando Dios juntamente con ellos, tanto por señales[d](J) como por prodigios(K), y por diversos milagros[e](L) y por dones[f] del Espíritu Santo(M) según su propia voluntad(N).

Cristo coronado de gloria y honor

5 Porque no sujetó a los ángeles el mundo venidero[g](O), acerca del cual estamos hablando. 6 Pero uno ha testificado en cierto lugar(P) diciendo:

¿Qué es el hombre para que de Él te acuerdes,
o el hijo del hombre para que te intereses en Él(Q)?
7 (R)Le has hecho un poco inferior a los Ángeles;
le has coronado de gloria y honor,
y le has puesto sobre las obras de tus manos[h];
8 todo lo has sujetado bajo sus pies(S).

Porque al sujetarlo todo a él, no dejó nada que no le sea sujeto. Pero ahora no vemos aún todas las cosas sujetas a él(T). 9 Pero vemos a aquel que fue hecho un poco inferior a los ángeles(U), es decir, a Jesús, coronado de gloria y honor(V) a causa del padecimiento de la muerte(W), para que por la gracia de Dios(X) probara la muerte(Y) por todos(Z). 10 Porque convenía que aquel(AA) para quien son todas las cosas y por quien son todas las cosas(AB), llevando muchos hijos a la gloria, hiciera perfecto(AC) por medio de los padecimientos al autor[i] de la salvación de ellos(AD). 11 Porque tanto el que santifica(AE) como los que son santificados(AF), son todos de un Padre(AG); por lo cual Él no se avergüenza de llamarlos hermanos(AH), 12 diciendo:

Anunciaré tu nombre a mis hermanos,
en medio de la congregación[j] te cantaré himnos(AI).

13 Y otra vez:

Yo en Él confiaré[k](AJ).

Y otra vez:

He aquí, yo y los hijos que Dios me ha dado(AK).

14 Así que, por cuanto los hijos participan de carne y sangre[l](AL), Él igualmente participó también de lo mismo(AM), para anular mediante la muerte el poder(AN) de aquel que tenía el poder de la muerte, es decir, el diablo(AO), 15 y librar a los que por el temor a la muerte, estaban sujetos a esclavitud(AP) durante toda la vida. 16 Porque ciertamente no ayuda a los ángeles, sino que ayuda a[m] la descendencia[n] de Abraham. 17 Por tanto, tenía que ser[o] hecho semejante a sus hermanos(AQ) en todo, a fin de que llegara a ser un misericordioso y fiel(AR) sumo sacerdote(AS) en las cosas que a Dios atañen(AT), para hacer propiciación(AU) por los pecados del pueblo. 18 Pues por cuanto Él mismo fue tentado(AV) en el sufrimiento, es poderoso para socorrer a[p] los que son tentados.

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,

“I will put my trust in him.”[i](W)

And again he says,

“Here am I, and the children God has given me.”[j](X)

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)
