Clementine Vulgate, 1598
World English Bible
1Propterea abundantius oportet observare nos ea quæ audivimus, ne forte pereffluamus.
1Therefore we ought to pay greater attention to the things that were heard, lest perhaps we drift away.
2Si enim qui per angelos dictus est sermo, factus est firmus, et omnis prævaricatio, et inobedientia accepit justam mercedis retributionem:
2For if the word spoken through angels proved steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just penalty,
3quomodo nos effugiemus si tantam neglexerimus salutem? quæ cum initium accepisset enarrari per Dominum ab eis, qui audierunt, in nos confirmata est,
3how will we escape if we neglect so great a salvation—which at the first having been spoken through the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard,
4contestante Deo signis et portentis, et variis virtutibus, et Spiritus Sancti distributionibus secundum suam voluntatem.
4God also testifying with them, both by signs and wonders, by various works of power, and by gifts of the Holy Spirit, according to his own will?
5Non enim angelis subjecit Deus orbem terræ futurum, de quo loquimur.
5For he didn’t subject the world to come, of which we speak, to angels.
6Testatus est autem in quodam loco quis, dicens: Quid est homo quod memor es ejus, aut filius hominis quoniam visitas eum?
6But one has somewhere testified, saying, “What is man, that you think of him? Or the son of man, that you care for him?
7Minuisti eum paulo minus ab angelis: gloria et honore coronasti eum: et constituisti eum super opera manuum tuarum.
7You made him a little lower than the angels. You crowned him with glory and honor.
8Omnia subjecisti sub pedibus ejus. In eo enim quod omnia ei subjecit, nihil dimisit non subjectum ei. Nunc autem necdum videmus omnia subjecta ei.
8You have put all things in subjection under his feet.” For in that he subjected all things to him, he left nothing that is not subject to him. But now we don’t yet see all things subjected to him.
9Eum autem, qui modico quam angeli minoratus est, videmus Jesum propter passionem mortis, gloria et honore coronatum: ut, gratia Dei, pro omnibus gustaret mortem.
9But we see him who has been made a little lower than the angels, Jesus, because of the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that by the grace of God he should taste of death for everyone.
10Decebat enim eum, propter quem omnia, et per quem omnia, qui multos filios in gloriam adduxerat, auctorem salutis eorum per passionem consummare.
10For it became him, for whom are all things and through whom are all things, in bringing many children to glory, to make the author of their salvation perfect through sufferings.
11Qui enim sanctificat, et qui sanctificantur, ex uno omnes. Propter quam causam non confunditur fratres eos vocare, dicens:
11For both he who sanctifies and those who are sanctified are all from one, for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brothers,
12Nuntiabo nomen tuum fratribus meis: in medio ecclesiæ laudabo te.
12saying, “I will declare your name to my brothers. Among the congregation I will sing your praise.”
13Et iterum: Ego ero fidens in eum. Et iterum: Ecce ego, et pueri mei, quos dedit mihi Deus.
13Again, “I will put my trust in him.” Again, “Behold, here I am with the children whom God has given me.”
14Quia ergo pueri communicaverunt carni, et sanguini, et ipse similiter participavit eisdem: ut per mortem destrueret eum qui habebat mortis imperium, id est, diabolum:
14Since then the children have shared in flesh and blood, he also himself in the same way partook of the same, that through death he might bring to nothing him who had the power of death, that is, the devil,
15et liberaret eos qui timore mortis per totam vitam obnoxii erant servituti.
15and might deliver all of them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.
16Nusquam enim angelos apprehendit, sed semen Abrahæ apprehendit.
16For most certainly, he doesn’t give help to angels, but he gives help to the offspring of Abraham.
17Unde debuit per omnia fratribus similari, ut misericors fieret, et fidelis pontifex ad Deum, ut repropitiaret delicta populi.
17Therefore he was obligated in all things to be made like his brothers, that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make atonement for the sins of the people.
18In eo enim, in quo passus est ipse et tentatus, potens est et eis, qui tentantur, auxiliari.
18For in that he himself has suffered being tempted, he is able to help those who are tempted.
