Hebrews 2
Worldwide English (New Testament)
2 That is why we must listen very carefully to the things we have heard. We must never forget them.
2 What the angels said proved to be true. Every one who broke the law, and who did not obey it, was punished as he should be punished.
3 If that is so, then we will not get away without being punished. We will be punished if we forget or throw away this wonderful way to be saved. It was the Lord who first told people how to be saved. Then those who heard him told us the true way.
4 God also proved that it was the true way. He gave signs. He did things that surprised people. He did many things by his power. He gave the gifts of the Holy Spirit to people just as he wanted to.
5 God did not put the next world under angels for them to rule over. That is the world we are talking about.
6 In one place the holy writings say, `What is man and why do you think about him? What is the Son of a Man and why do you care about him?
7 You made him lower than angels for a little while. But then you made him very great and high.
8 You put everything under him for him to rule over.' When God gave him the right to rule over everything, nothing was left out which he did not have the right to rule. But we do not yet see him ruling over everything.
9 But we do see Jesus! For a short time he was lower than the angels. Because he died, we see him made great and high. He did this so that he could die for every person. God is so good!
10 Everything was made for God and by God. It seemed good to him that Jesus' life should be made complete, by going through the hard things that happened to him. This was because Jesus leads many people to heaven as God's children. And he is the one who saves them.
11 Jesus, who makes people holy, and those who are made holy, all have one Father in heaven. That is why Jesus is not ashamed to call them his brothers.
12 He said, `I will tell my brothers about you. I will sing praise about you among those who gather together for worship.'
13 He also said, `I will trust God.' And again, `Here am I and the children God has given to me.'
14 God's children all have a body. That is why Jesus himself had the same. But because Jesus also had a body, he was able to die and stop the devil. The devil has power to make people die. But Jesus, by his own death, was able to stop the power of death.
15 People were afraid to die. All their lives they were like slaves. When Jesus died, he was able to set them free from their fear.
16 Jesus did not come to help angels. He came to help people who were born in Abraham's family.
17 So he had to be made like his brothers in every way. Then he could be a high priest to make a way to God for them, a priest who was kind and true. He could make it possible for God to forgive people for the wrong things they had done.
18 He had a very hard time when he was tested. But because he was tested, he is able to help people who are tested.

The Great Salvation
2 That is why we must hold on all the more firmly to the truths we have heard, so that we will not be carried away. 2 The message given to our ancestors by the angels was shown to be true, and those who did not follow it or obey it received the punishment they deserved. 3 How, then, shall we escape if we pay no attention to such a great salvation? The Lord himself first announced this salvation, and those who heard him proved to us that it is true. 4 At the same time God added his witness to theirs by performing all kinds of miracles and wonders and by distributing the gifts of the Holy Spirit according to his will.
The One Who Leads Us to Salvation
5 God has not placed the angels as rulers over the new world to come—the world of which we speak. 6 (A)Instead, as it is said somewhere in the Scriptures:
“What are human beings, O God, that you should think of them;
mere human beings, that you should care for them?
7 You made them for a little while lower than the angels;
you crowned them with glory and honor,[a]
8 and made them rulers over all things.”
It says that God made them “rulers over all things”; this clearly includes everything. We do not, however, see human beings ruling over all things now. 9 But we do see Jesus, who for a little while was made lower than the angels, so that through God's grace he should die for everyone. We see him now crowned with glory and honor because of the death he suffered. 10 It was only right that God, who creates and preserves all things, should make Jesus perfect through suffering, in order to bring many children to share his glory. For Jesus is the one who leads them to salvation.
11 He purifies people from their sins, and both he and those who are made pure all have the same Father. That is why Jesus is not ashamed to call them his family. 12 (B)He says to God,
“I will tell my people what you have done;
I will praise you in their meeting.”
13 (C)He also says, “I will put my trust in God.” And he also says, “Here I am with the children that God has given me.”
14 Since the children, as he calls them, are people of flesh and blood, Jesus himself became like them and shared their human nature. He did this so that through his death he might destroy the Devil, who has the power over death, 15 and in this way set free those who were slaves all their lives because of their fear of death. 16 (D)For it is clear that it is not the angels that he helps. Instead, he helps the descendants of Abraham. 17 This means that he had to become like his people in every way, in order to be their faithful and merciful High Priest in his service to God, so that the people's sins would be forgiven. 18 And now he can help those who are tempted, because he himself was tempted and suffered.

Missa inte målet
2 Därför måste vi lyssna mycket noga till de sanningar vi har hört så att vi inte missar målet.
2 De budskap vi har fått genom änglar har alltid visat sig vara sanna, och människor har alltid blivit straffade när de inte har lytt dem.
3 Varför skulle då vi tro att vi kan komma undan, om vi är likgiltiga inför den underbara frälsning som Herren Jesus själv förkunnade, och som vi nu får förmedlad av dem som hörde honom tala.
4 Dessutom har Gud själv bekräftat deras vittnesbörd genom tecken och olika under. Han har också efter sin vilja delat ut särskilda gåvor från den helige Ande till dem som tror.
Jesus kom som människa
5 Den kommande världen, som vi talar om, ska inte heller styras av änglar.
6 David säger på ett ställe till Gud: Vad är en människa, eftersom du bryr dig så mycket om henne? Och vem är denne Människoson, som du ärar så högt?
7 Fastän du en kort tid lät honom ha en lägre plats än änglarna, har du nu gjort honom till en kung. Du har gett honom härlighet, ära och makt,
8 och du har gjort honom till härskare över allt som finns till, utan undantag.Vi har ännu inte sett allt detta ske,
9 men vi ser verkligen att Jesus - som under en kort tid stod lägre än änglarna - nu har krönts med ära och makt, därför att han led döden för oss. Ja, på grund av Guds stora godhet dog Jesus för alla i hela världen.
10 Och det var rätt och riktigt att Gud, som är alltings ursprung och mål, tillät Jesus att lida. Genom lidandet blev Jesus en fullkomlig ledare och förde stora skaror av Guds folk till himlen.
11 Vi som har gjorts heliga av Jesus har nu samme Far som han. Det är därför som Jesus inte skäms för att kalla oss för bröder.
12 Han säger nämligen i Psaltaren: Jag ska tala till mina bröder om Gud, min Far, och tillsammans ska vi sjunga hans lov.
13 En annan gång säger han: Jag ska lita på Gud och vara beroende av honom, och ännu en annan gång: Se, här är jag och de barn som Gud har gett mig.
14 Eftersom vi, Guds barn, är människor av kött och blod, måste Jesus också bli människa. Bara som människa kunde han nämligen dö och genom sin död bryta djävulens makt, han som var herre över döden.
15 Och bara på det sättet kunde han befria alla som levt hela sitt liv som slavar i skräck för döden.
16 Vi vet alla att Jesus inte kom för änglars skull, utan för oss människor och för dem som är barn till Abraham.
17 Det var nödvändigt att Jesus kom som en av oss, hans bröder, så att han kunde tjäna som vår överstepräst inför Gud och vara både kärleksfull mot oss och trogen mot Gud i fråga om att sona folkets synder.
18 Eftersom han själv har lidit och blivit frestad, vet han hur vi har det när vi lider och frestas, och kan ge oss den hjälp vi behöver.

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)
