1 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.

Buyuk najotga eʼtiborsiz boʻlmaylik
1 Shu sababdan biz butun eʼtiborimizni eshitganlarimizga qaratishimiz kerak. Shunda haqiqatdan ogʻib ketmaymiz. 2 Farishtalar orqali ota–bobolarimizga berilgan Xudoning qonuni majburiy edi. Agar oʻsha qonunni buzgan va unga itoat etmagan odamlar har bir qilmishiga yarasha jazolangan boʻlsa, 3 nahotki biz buyuk najot xabariga eʼtiborsiz qolsak, jazodan qochib qutula olamiz?! Axir, dastlab bu najot xabarini bizga Rabbimiz Isoning Oʻzi eʼlon qildi–ku. Rabbimizga quloq solgan shohidlar bu xabarning haqiqiyligini bizga tasdiqlashdi. 4 Xudo ham bu xabarni tasdiqladi: U alomatu moʻjizalar va turli ajoyibotlar koʻrsatdi, Oʻz xohish–irodasi boʻyicha, Muqaddas Ruhning inʼomlarini ulashib berdi.
Bizga najot berish uchun Iso inson boʻlib keldi
5 Biz aytayotgan kelajak dunyoni Xudo farishtalarga tobe qilmadi. 6 Aksincha, Muqaddas bitiklarda Xudoga shunday deb aytilgan:
“Inson zoti nedirki, u haqda oʻylagaysan?!
Inson oʻgʻli nedirki, Sen uni ardoqlagaysan?!
7 Sen uni qisqa vaqtgagina farishtalardan past qilding,
Keyin esa izzatu sharaf tojini unga kiygizding .
8 Bor narsani uning oyogʻi ostiga qoʻyding.”
“Bor narsani uning oyogʻi ostiga qoʻyding” degani — Xudo butun borliqni oʻsha Insonning hokimiyatiga tobe qilganini bildiradi. Hozirgi kunda esa butun borliq Unga tobe boʻlganini biz koʻrayotganimiz yoʻq. 9 Ammo “qisqa vaqtgagina farishtalardan past boʻlgan” Insonni, yaʼni Isoni biz koʻrib turibmiz. U inson boʻlib keldi, Xudoning inoyati tufayli butun insoniyat uchun azob chekib, oʻldi. Shu sababdan endi “izzatu sharaf tojini kiydi.”
10 Xudo hamma narsani yaratgan va hamma narsa Uning ulugʻvorligi uchun mavjuddir. U koʻp insonlarni Oʻz ulugʻvorligidan bahramand qilish uchun najotga erishtirmoqchi boʻldi. Iso odamlarni najotga boshlab borsin deb, Xudo Uni azob–uqubatlar orqali barkamol Sardor qilib tayyorladi. 11 Insonlarni gunohlardan poklovchi Iso va poklangan insonlarning hammasi bir oilaga mansubdir. Shu sababdan Iso ularni birodarlarim deb atashdan or qilmay, Xudoga shunday deydi:
12 “Birodarlarimga Sen haqingda aytaman,
Jamoa orasida Senga hamdu sano oʻqiyman.”
13 Iso yana shunday deydi:
“Umidim Xudodadir”,
soʻng yana aytadi:
“Xudo bergan farzandlarim bilan birga Men shu yerdaman!”
14 Bu farzandlar foniy bandalar boʻlganlari uchun, Iso ham, ular singari, inson boʻldi. Zero, U Oʻz oʻlimi orqaligina oʻlim keltiruvchi iblisning qudratini yoʻq qila oldi 15 va umr boʻyi oʻlim qoʻrquviga qul boʻlgan odamzodni ozod qilishga muvaffaq boʻldi. 16 Iso farishtalarni emas, balki Ibrohimning naslini qullikdan qutqargani aniq. 17 Shu sababdan, U har jihatdan birodarlariga oʻxshagan boʻlishi shart edi. Shundagina U xalqni gunohlaridan poklay oladigan, Xudoning xizmatidagi rahmdil va sodiq Oliy ruhoniy boʻla olardi. 18 Isoning Oʻzi sinovdan oʻtib, azob chekdi. Shuning uchun U sinovdan oʻtayotganlarga yordam bera oladi.
