Hebrews 2
Holman Christian Standard Bible

Warning against Neglect

2 We must, therefore, pay even more attention to what we have heard, so that we will not drift away. 2 For if the message spoken through angels was legally binding[a](A) and every transgression and disobedience received a just punishment,(B) 3 how will we escape if we neglect such a great salvation? It was first spoken by the Lord and was confirmed to us by those who heard Him.(C) 4 At the same time, God also testified by signs and wonders, various miracles, and distributions of gifts from the Holy Spirit according to His will.(D)

Jesus and Humanity

5 For He has not subjected to angels the world to come that we are talking about. 6 But one has somewhere testified:

What is man that You remember him,
or the son of man that You care for him?
7 You made him lower than the angels
for a short time;
You crowned him with glory and honor[b]
8 and subjected everything under his feet.[c]

For in subjecting everything to him, He left nothing that is not subject to him. As it is, we do not yet see everything subjected to him.(E) 9 But we do see Jesus—made lower than the angels for a short time so that by God’s grace He might taste death for everyone—crowned with glory and honor(F) because of His suffering in death.(G)

10 For in bringing many sons to glory, it was entirely appropriate that God—all things exist for Him and through Him—should make the source[d] of their salvation perfect through sufferings.(H) 11 For the One who sanctifies and those who are sanctified all have one Father.[e] That is why Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers,(I) 12 saying:

I will proclaim Your name to My brothers;
I will sing hymns to You in the congregation.(J)[f]

13 Again, I will trust in Him.[g] And again, Here I am with the children God gave Me.(K)[h]

14 Now since the children have flesh and blood in common, Jesus also shared in these, so that through His death He might destroy the one holding the power of death—that is, the Devil(L)— 15 and free those who were held in slavery all their lives by the fear of death.(M) 16 For it is clear that He does not reach out to help angels, but to help Abraham’s offspring. 17 Therefore, He had to be like His brothers in every way, so that He could become a merciful and faithful high priest in service[i] to God, to make propitiation(N) for the sins of the people.(O) 18 For since He Himself was tested and has suffered, He is able to help those who are tested.

Hebreerbrevet 2
nuBibeln (Swedish Contemporary Bible)

Varning för att överge budskapet om räddning

2 Därför måste vi vara noga med att hålla oss till det budskap vi har hört, så att vi inte glider bort ifrån det. 2 Redan det budskap som gavs genom änglar gällde, och varje överträdelse och olydnad fick sitt rättvisa straff. 3 Hur ska vi då kunna komma undan om vi ignorerar den underbara räddningen? Det var ju Herren själv som först förkunnade den, och vi har sedan fått den bekräftad av dem som lyssnade till honom. 4 Gud har också bekräftat den genom tecken och under och olika kraftgärningar och genom att dela ut den heliga Anden efter sin vilja.

Jesus blev människa

5 Den kommande världen som vi talar om ska inte styras av änglar. 6 Det står ett klart vittnesbörd om detta på ett ställe:

”Vad är då en människa att du tänker på henne,
    en människoson, att du lägger märke till honom?
7 Du gjorde honom lite lägre än änglarna
    och krönte honom med härlighet och ära.
8 Allting lade du under hans fötter.”[a]

Och när han lade allting under honom, utelämnade han ingenting. Vi ser dock ännu inte att allting har lagts under honom. 9 Men vi ser att Jesus, som var lite lägre än änglarna, nu har krönts med härlighet och ära, därför att han var villig att lida och dö. Genom Guds nåd skulle han möta döden för allas skull.

10 När Gud, för vilken och genom vilken allting finns till, ville föra många barn till härlighet, fann han att den som leder många till frälsningen måste fullkomnas genom lidande. 11 Både den som helgar och de som helgas har samma ursprung, och därför skäms inte Jesus för att kalla dem sina syskon[b]. 12 Han säger:

”Jag ska göra ditt namn känt för mina bröder.
    Jag ska prisa dig mitt i församlingen.”[c]

13 Vidare:

”Jag hoppas på honom”,

och:

”Se, jag och barnen som Gud har gett mig.”[d]

14 Men när nu barnen är människor av kött och blod, måste också han på samma sätt bli en människa, för att genom sin död kunna bryta djävulens makt, han som var Herre över döden. 15 Så befriade Jesus alla dem som hela livet varit slavar under sin dödsfruktan. 16 Det var ju inte änglar Jesus kom för att hjälpa. Nej, han kom för att hjälpa Abrahams efterkommande[e]. 17 Därför måste han på alla sätt bli lik sina syskon, så att han kunde bli en barmhärtig och trogen överstepräst inför Gud och försona folkets synder. 18 Och eftersom han själv led när han prövades, kan han hjälpa dem som prövas.

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)
