Jesus, He Da Leada Dat Take Us Outa Da Bad Kine Stuff

We talking bout da new world dass goin come. But God neva tell bout da angel guys, dat dey goin be in charge ova dea. But get one place inside da Bible wea David wen say dis:

“God, how come you tink plenny bout us peopo on top da earth?
    An how come you get aloha fo us peopo?
You wen make da angel guys
    Ony litto bit mo importan den us peopo.
You wen make us peopo awesome
    An you show us plenny respeck
    Jalike you put one crown on top our head.
[An you wen put us peopo
    in charge a everyting you wen make.]
You wen make us boss ova everyting.”

You know, wen da Bible say dat God wen make us peopo boss ova everyting, dat mean everyting! But right now, wen us guys look aroun, we can see dat us peopo still yet no stay boss ova everyting. But get one Guy dat “fo litto bit time, da angel guys was litto bit mo importan den him.” Dass Jesus! Cuz Jesus wen go suffa an mahke fo everybody, God “wen make him awesome, an show him plenny respeck, jalike God go put one crown on top his head.” Dass how God wen do plenny fo us, cuz Jesus wen go suffa an mahke fo everybody. 10 So, good dat God wen make Jesus suffa. Cuz dat make Jesus da bestes kine Leada fo take plenny peopo outa da bad kine stuff dey do, an fo make um come awesome cuz dey Godʼs kids now. An God da One dat wen do um, cuz everyting az fo him, an everyting stay cuz he wen make um.

11 Jesus make peopo good an spesho fo God. An him an dem, jalike dey all get da same Fadda. Dass why he no mo shame fo call dem “my bruddas an sistas.” 12 Dis wat Jesus wen tell God:

“I goin tell all my brudda an sista guys
    Bout wat kine God you.
An wen my bruddas an sistas all come togedda,
    I goin sing bout you.”

13 An again, one nodda place, he say dis:

“I goin trus God everytime.”

An one nodda place, he say dis again:

“Look! Dis me!
    An dese guys, dey Godʼs kids!
God wen give dem to me!”

14 Now, Godʼs kids get skin an blood cuz dey peopo. Dass why Jesus wen do da same ting fo be jalike dem, wit skin an blood too. He wen do dat so dat wen he mahke, he wen hemo all da power from da Devil, da one dat get power fo kill peopo. 15 An, Jesus wen make da peopo dat stay scared dat dey goin mahke all da time dey stay alive, so dey no stay jalike slaves no moa. Da Devil make um scared, so dey listen him, jalike dey slaves unda him. But now da Devil no can do dat no moa. 16 Fo shua Jesus neva come hea fo help da angel guys, but fo help da peopo dat come from da Abraham ohana ancesta guys. 17 Dass why Jesus gotta come jalike his brudda an sista guys, every kine way. An cuz he jalike dem, he goin come dea Head Priest fo take care all da kine stuff da Jewish head priest guy do fo God. He give da peopo chance, an he da kine guy dey can trus. Cuz az who him, he goin hemo da shame fo all da bad kine stuff da peopo wen do, an bring um back togedda wit God. 18 Jesus, he had presha fo do bad kine stuff, but he neva. Still yet, he wen suffa plenny cuz a dat. Dass why, now he can help da peopo, everytime dey get presha fo do bad kine stuff.

Warning to Pay Attention

We must pay the most careful attention, therefore, to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away.(A) For since the message spoken(B) through angels(C) was binding, and every violation and disobedience received its just punishment,(D) how shall we escape if we ignore so great a salvation?(E) This salvation, which was first announced by the Lord,(F) was confirmed to us by those who heard him.(G) God also testified to it by signs, wonders and various miracles,(H) and by gifts of the Holy Spirit(I) distributed according to his will.(J)

Jesus Made Fully Human

It is not to angels that he has subjected the world to come, about which we are speaking. But there is a place where someone(K) has testified:

“What is mankind that you are mindful of them,
    a son of man that you care for him?(L)
You made them a little[a] lower than the angels;
    you crowned them with glory and honor
    and put everything under their feet.”[b][c](M)

In putting everything under them,[d] God left nothing that is not subject to them.[e] Yet at present we do not see everything subject to them.[f] But we do see Jesus, who was made lower than the angels for a little while, now crowned with glory and honor(N) because he suffered death,(O) so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone.(P)

10 In bringing many sons and daughters to glory, it was fitting that God, for whom and through whom everything exists,(Q) should make the pioneer of their salvation perfect through what he suffered.(R) 11 Both the one who makes people holy(S) and those who are made holy(T) are of the same family. So Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers and sisters.[g](U) 12 He says,

“I will declare your name to my brothers and sisters;
    in the assembly I will sing your praises.”[h](V)

13 And again,

“I will put my trust in him.”[i](W)

And again he says,

“Here am I, and the children God has given me.”[j](X)

14 Since the children have flesh and blood,(Y) he too shared in their humanity(Z) so that by his death he might break the power(AA) of him who holds the power of death—that is, the devil(AB) 15 and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear(AC) of death. 16 For surely it is not angels he helps, but Abraham’s descendants.(AD) 17 For this reason he had to be made like them,[k](AE) fully human in every way, in order that he might become a merciful(AF) and faithful high priest(AG) in service to God,(AH) and that he might make atonement for the sins of the people.(AI) 18 Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.(AJ)
