Hebrews 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.

Na, ko te tikanga tenei, kia kaha ake to tatou whakaaro ki nga mea kua rangona, kei pahuhu atu i a tatou.

For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward;

Mehemea hoki te kupu i whakapuakina e nga anahera he pumau, a he tika tonu te utu i whakahokia mo nga pokanga ketanga katoa, mo nga mahi tutu;

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;

Me pehea ka mawhiti ai tatou ki te paopao tatou ki tenei ora nui; i timataia nei te korero e te Ariki, a kua whakaukia mai ki a tatou e te hunga i rangona ai;

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?

Me te whakaatu ano te Atua ki ta ratou, i runga i nga tohu, i nga mea whakamiharo, i tona tini o nga merekara, i nga tuwhanga mai ano hoki o te Wairua Tapu, he pera ano me tana i pai ai.

For unto the angels hath he not put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak.

Kahore hoki i waiho e ia ki raro i nga anahera te ao meake nei puta, ta matou e korero nei.

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?

Heoi i whakaaturia mai e tetahi i tetahi wahi, i mea mai, He aha te tangata, i mahara ai koe ki a ia? te tama ranei a te tangata, i tirohia ai ia e koe?

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:

Nohinohi nei te whai i whakaititia iho ai ia e koe i nga anahera; kua karaunatia ia e koe ki te kororia, ki te honore, kua waiho ano ia e koe hei rangatira mo nga mahi a ou ringa:

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.

Kua waiho nei e koe nga mea katoa ki raro i ona waewae. Na, i nga mea katoa ka waiho nei i raro i a ia, kahore i mahue tetahi mea kihai nei i waiho i raro i a ia. Otira kahore ano tatou kia kite noa i nga mea katoa kua oti te waiho i raro i a ia.

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.

Ka kite raia tatou i a Ihu, he nohinohi nei te wahi i whakaititia iho ai ia i nga anahera ka oti nei te karauna ki te kororia, ki te honore, i muri nei i tona ngaunga e te mate; he meatanga na to te Atua aroha noa kia pangia ia e te mate mo nga t angata katoa.

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.

Ko tana tikanga tika hoki ia, mana nei nga mea katoa, nana ano hoki nga mea katoa i a ia e arahi ana i nga tama tokomaha ki te kororia, kia waiho nga mamae hei mea e tino rite ai te Take o to ratou whakaoranga.

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,

Ko te kaiwhakatapu hoki, ratou ko te hunga e whakatapua ana, no te pu kotahi ratou katoa: koia ia te whakama ai ki te hua i a ratou he teina;

Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee.

E mea nei ia, Maku e korero tou ingoa ki oku teina; ka himene atu ahau ki a koe i waenganui o te whakaminenga.

And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which God hath given me.

Me tenei ano hoki, Ka u pu ahau ki a ia. Me tenei ano, Nana, ahau nei me nga tamariki i homai e te Atua ki ahau.

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;

Na, kei nga tamariki he kikokiko, he toto, koia hoki ia i whakawhiwhia ai ano hoki ki aua mea; kia ai ai tona matenga hei whakakahore mo te rangatira o te mate, ara mo te rewera;

And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.

Kia whakaputaina mai ai hoki e ia ki waho te hunga i meinga e te wehi o te mate hei taurekareka i nga wa katoa i ora ai ratou.

For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham.

Kihai hoki ia i mau ki nga anahera; engari i mau ia ki te uri o Aperahama.

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.

Na konei i tika ai kia whakaritea ia ki ona teina i nga mea katoa, kia waiho ai ia hei tohunga nui e atawhai ana, e pono ana i nga meatanga ki te Atua, hei whakamarie mo nga hara o te iwi.

For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.

I te mea hoki ka whakamatautauria ia, a mamae iho, e taea e ia te awhina te hunga e whakamatautauria ana.
