Hebrews 2
New Life Version
Do Not Wait to Be Saved from the Punishment of Sin
2 That is why we must listen all the more to the truths we have been told. If we do not, we may slip away from them. 2 These truths given by the angels proved to be true. People were punished when they did not obey them. 3 God was so good to make a way for us to be saved from the punishment of sin. What makes us think we will not go to hell if we do not take the way to heaven that He has made for us? The Lord was the first to tell us of this. Then those who heard Him told it later. 4 God proved what they said was true by showing us special things to see and by doing powerful works. He gave the gifts of the Holy Spirit as He wanted to.
Jesus, the Way to Heaven
5 God did not make angels to be the leaders of that world to come which we have been speaking about. 6 Instead, the Holy Writings say, “What is man that You think of him and the son of man that You should remember him?” (A) 7 “You made him so he took a place that was not as important as the angels for a little while. You gave him the crown of honor and shining-greatness. *You made him the head over everything You have made. 8 You have put everything under his feet.” (B) There is nothing that does not obey him, but we do not see all things obey him yet. 9 But we do see Jesus. For a little while He took a place that was not as important as the angels. But God had loving-favor for everyone. He had Jesus suffer death on a cross for all of us. Then, because of Christ’s death on a cross, God gave Him the crown of honor and shining-greatness.
10 God made all things. He made all things for Himself. It was right for God to make Jesus a perfect Leader by having Him suffer for men’s sins. In this way, He is bringing many men to share His shining-greatness. 11 Jesus makes men holy. He takes away their sins. Both Jesus and the ones being made holy have the same Father. That is why Jesus is not ashamed to call them His brothers. 12 Jesus is saying to His Father, “I will tell My brothers Your name. I will sing songs of thanks for You among the people.” (C) 13 And again He says, “I will put My trust in God.” At another time He said, “Here I am with the children God gave Me.” (D)
14 It is true that we share the same Father with Jesus. And it is true that we share the same kind of flesh and blood because Jesus became a man like us. He died as we must die. Through His death He destroyed the power of the devil who has the power of death. 15 Jesus did this to make us free from the fear of death. We no longer need to be chained to this fear. 16 Jesus did not come to help angels. Instead, He came to help men who are of Abraham’s family. 17 So Jesus had to become like His brothers in every way. He had to be one of us to be our Religious Leader to go between God and us. He had loving-pity on us and He was faithful. He gave Himself as a gift to die on a cross for our sins so that God would not hold these sins against us any longer. 18 Because Jesus was tempted as we are and suffered as we do, He understands us and He is able to help us when we are tempted.
Hebrews 2
King James Version
2 Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.
2 For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward;
3 How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him;
4 God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will?
5 For unto the angels hath he not put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak.
6 But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man that thou visitest him?
7 Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands:
8 Thou hast 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 we see not yet all things put under him.
9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.
10 For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.
11 For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,
12 Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee.
13 And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which God hath given me.
14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;
15 And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.
16 For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham.
17 Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.
18 For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.

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.

Евр 2
Священное Писание (Восточный перевод), версия с «Аллахом»
Призыв не пренебрегать вестью о спасении
2 Поэтому мы должны со всем вниманием отнестись к тому, что мы услышали, чтобы нам не отпасть. 2 Весть Аллаха, переданная через ангелов, имела силу, и каждое нарушение и непослушание влекли за собой справедливое наказание.[a] 3 Как же нам избежать наказания сейчас, если мы пренебрегаем великим спасением, которое было провозглашено Самим Повелителем Исой? И нам это подтвердили те, кто лично слышал от Него эту весть, 4 которую Сам Аллах удостоверил знамениями, чудесами, различными проявлениями Его силы и дарами Святого Духа, распределяемыми по Его усмотрению.
Иса Масих стал Человеком, чтобы спасти нас
5 Будущую вселенную, о которой мы говорим, Аллах подчинил не ангелам. 6 Но где-то некто засвидетельствовал:
«Кто такой человек, что Ты беспокоишься о нём?
Кто такой сын человека[b], что Ты заботишься о нём?
7 Ты на короткое время сделал его ниже ангелов;[c]
Ты увенчал его славой и честью,
8 Ты всё подчинил под ноги его»[d].
Аллах всё покорил человеку, не оставив ничего непокорённым ему. Но сейчас мы пока не видим, что человеку всё подчинено. 9 Однако мы видим, что Иса, Который действительно был на некоторое время поставлен ниже ангелов[e], сейчас увенчан славой и честью, потому что претерпел смерть; по благодати Аллаха к нам Он вкусил смерть за каждого человека.
10 Надлежало, чтобы Аллах, для Которого и благодаря Которому всё существует, полностью приготовил через страдания Ису, приводящего всё множество сынов[f] в славу (Он – вождь их спасения). 11 Потому что и Тот, Кто освящает, и те, кто освящается Им, – все дети одного Небесного Отца, и поэтому Иса не стыдится называть их братьями. 12 Он говорит:
«Я возвещу Твоё имя братьям Моим
и посреди собрания буду петь славу Тебе»[g].
13 И ещё Он говорит:
«Я буду полагаться на Него»[h].
И ещё:
«Вот Я и дети, которых дал Мне Аллах»[i].
14 А так как дети имеют плоть и кровь, то и Он Сам получил физическое тело, чтобы Своей смертью лишить силы того, кому принадлежит власть над смертью, то есть Иблиса, 15 и освободить тех, кто всю свою жизнь находился в рабстве у страха перед смертью. 16 Ведь не ангелам Он помогает, а потомкам пророка Ибрахима. 17 Для этого Масиху[j] надо было во всём стать таким, как Его братья, чтобы быть Верховным Священнослужителем, милосердным и верным в служении Аллаху, для умилостивления за грехи народа. 18 Он Сам страдал, перенося искушения, и может теперь помочь тем, кто встречает искушения в жизни.
