Hebrews 2
2
1In considering all this, it is necessary for us to pay far greater attention bifraht (particularly) to the things we have heard, lest from it we may drift away.
2For if the Dvar Hashem which was declared through malachim became firmly established and every peysha (transgression) and averah (disobedience to the commandment) received a gemul tzodek (just retribution),#2:2 Dt 33:2, TARGUM HASHIVIM
3How shall we escape if we neglect so great a Yeshu'at Eloheinu, one that was declared initially through#2:3 Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Adoneinu, and was confirmed and attested to us by those who heard him,
4While Hashem gave solemn eidus (testimony) through otot u'moftim (signs and wonders) and nifla'ot rabbot (many miracles) and matanot (gifts) of the Ruach Hakodesh distributed according to the ratzon Hashem?
5For Hashem did not subject the Olam Habah, about which we are speaking, to malachim.
6But someone has given solemn eidus (testimony) somewhere, MAH ENOSH KI TIZKERENU UVEN ADAM KI TIFKEDENU? (What is Man that You are mindful of him, or the Son of Man that You care for him?)
7You made him a lttle lower than the angels and you crowned him with glory and splendor and you made him ruler over the works of your hands,
8KOL SHATAH TACHAT RAGLAV (Putting everything under his feet).#2:8 Ps 8:5-7 Now while Hashem subjected all things to him, he left nothing unsubjected to him, though now we do not yet see all things having been subjected to him.
9But this is what we do see: Yehoshua, for a short time having been “made lower than the angels,” has, because of the yissurim (suffering) of mavet (death), been “crowned with KAVOD V'HADAR” (glory and splendor)#2:9 Ps 8:6 in order that by the Chen v'Chesed Hashem on behalf of all he might taste the histalkus of mavet.#2:9 Isa 53:8
10For it was bekavod (fitting, proper) for him, for whom are all things and through whom are all things, in bringing banim rabbim (many sons) to kavod, to bring to shleimut (perfection, completion) the Rosh (Head) and Mekhonen (Founder) of their Yeshu'at Hashem through yissurim (suffering).
11For both HaKadosh who makes holy and Kedoshim who are being made holy all have HaAv Echad. It is for this reason Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach is not ashamed to call them Achim,
12Saying, “I will declare your Name to my brothers, within the congregation I will praise you.”#2:12 Ps 22:22 [23]
13And again, “I put my bitachon in him”#2:13 Isa 12:2 and again HINEI ANOCHI V'HAYELADIM ASHER NATAN LI HASHEM (Here I am and the yeladim whom Hashem gave to me.)#2:13 Isa 8:18
14Therefore, als (since) the yeladim share in the basar vadahm and Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach likewise shared in the same things, that through the histalkus of his mavet he might destroy the one having power over mavet, that is, HaSatan,#2:14 See Genesis chapter 3
15And he might release these, as many as through eymat haMavet (terror of Death) were subjected to avdut (slavery) all the days of their existence.
16For surely it was not malachim that concerned him, but the zera Avraham Avinu.
17And for this reason, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was obliged to become like the Achim b'Moshiach#2:17 2:11 in every respect, that he might become a Kohen Gadol rachaman v'ne'eman before Hashem in order to make kapporah for the chatta'im of HaAm.#2:17 Isa 53:8; 49:7
18For, because Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach himself has endured, being tested in the yissurim (sufferings) of his nefesh,#2:18 Isa 53:10,11 he is able to come to the ezrah (aid) of the ones being tested.

Hebrews 2
2
Warning to pay attention
1We must pay the most careful attention, therefore, to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away. 2For since the message spoken through angels was binding, and every violation and disobedience received its just punishment, 3how shall we escape if we ignore so great a salvation? This salvation, which was first announced by the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard him. 4God also testified to it by signs, wonders and various miracles, and by gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to his will.
Jesus made fully human
5It is not to angels that he has subjected the world to come, about which we are speaking. 6But there is a place where someone has testified:
‘What is mankind that you are mindful of them,
a son of man that you care for him?
7You made them a little#2:7 Or them for a little while lower than the angels;
you crowned them with glory and honour
8and put everything under their feet.’#2:6-8 Psalm 8:4-6#2:7,8 Or 7 You made him a little lower than the angels; / you crowned him with glory and honour / 8 and put everything under his feet.’
In putting everything under them,#2:8 Or him God left nothing that is not subject to them.#2:8 Or him Yet at present we do not see everything subject to them.#2:8 Or him 9But we do see Jesus, who was made lower than the angels for a little while, now crowned with glory and honour because he suffered death, so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone.
10In bringing many sons and daughters to glory, it was fitting that God, for whom and through whom everything exists, should make the pioneer of their salvation perfect through what he suffered. 11Both the one who makes people holy and those who are made holy are of the same family. So Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers and sisters.#2:11 The Greek word for brothers and sisters (adelphoi) refers here to believers, both men and women, as part of God’s family; also in verse 12; and in 3:1, 12; 10:19; 13:22. 12He says,
‘I will declare your name to my brothers and sisters;
in the assembly I will sing your praises.’#2:12 Psalm 22:22
13And again,
‘I will put my trust in him.’#2:13 Isaiah 8:17
And again he says,
‘Here am I, and the children God has given me.’#2:13 Isaiah 8:18
14Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might break the power of him who holds the power of death – that is, the devil – 15and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death. 16For surely it is not angels he helps, but Abraham’s descendants. 17For this reason he had to be made like them,#2:17 Or like his brothers fully human in every way, in order that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, and that he might make atonement for the sins of the people. 18Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.
