عِبرانِيّين 1
| ٱللهُ، بَعْدَ مَا كَلَّمَ ٱلْآبَاءَ بِٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ قَدِيمًا، بِأَنْوَاعٍ وَطُرُقٍ كَثِيرَةٍ، | ١ 1 |
Long ago God communicated frequently to our ancestors in various ways by what the prophets [said and wrote].
| كَلَّمَنَا فِي هَذِهِ ٱلْأَيَّامِ ٱلْأَخِيرَةِ فِي ٱبْنِهِ، ٱلَّذِي جَعَلَهُ وَارِثًا لِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ، ٱلَّذِي بِهِ أَيْضًا عَمِلَ ٱلْعَالَمِينَ، (aiōn g165) | ٢ 2 |
But now when this final age [is beginning], God has communicated to us [just once] by means of what (his Son/the man who was also God) [said and did. God] appointed him in order that he would possess everything [that truly belongs to God. God also appointed] him in order that he would create the universe. (aiōn g165)
| ٱلَّذِي، وَهُوَ بَهَاءُ مَجْدِهِ، وَرَسْمُ جَوْهَرِهِ، وَحَامِلٌ كُلَّ ٱلْأَشْيَاءِ بِكَلِمَةِ قُدْرَتِهِ، بَعْدَ مَا صَنَعَ بِنَفْسِهِ تَطْهِيرًا لِخَطَايَانَا، جَلَسَ فِي يَمِينِ ٱلْعَظَمَةِ فِي ٱلْأَعَالِي، | ٣ 3 |
He manifests God’s glory. He exactly represents [what God is like]. He (sustains everything by means of his powerful words. When he had [enabled people to be] freed from the [guilt of] their sins [MET], he sat down in heaven [EUP] [to rule] at the place of greatest honor [MTY] with God [MTY].
| صَائِرًا أَعْظَمَ مِنَ ٱلْمَلَائِكَةِ بِمِقْدَارِ مَا وَرِثَ ٱسْمًا أَفْضَلَ مِنْهُمْ. | ٤ 4 |
By doing that, he [showed that he] was very much greater than the angels, to the extent that his relationship [MTY] [to God, as his Son], is more excellent than the relationship the angels [have to God].
| لِأَنَّهُ لِمَنْ مِنَ ٱلْمَلَائِكَةِ قَالَ قَطُّ: «أَنْتَ ٱبْنِي، أَنَا ٱلْيَوْمَ وَلَدْتُكَ»؟ وَأَيْضًا: «أَنَا أَكُونُ لَهُ أَبًا، وَهُوَ يَكُونُ لِيَ ٱبْنًا»؟ | ٥ 5 |
[We know that] because [in the Scriptures] no one [RHQ] ever reported that God said to any angel [what he said to his Son], You [(sg)] are my Son! Today I have declared to all that I am your Father [DOU]! And he said in another Scripture passage, I will be his Father, and he will be my Son [DOU].
| وَأَيْضًا مَتَى أَدْخَلَ ٱلْبِكْرَ إِلَى ٱلْعَالَمِ يَقُولُ: «وَلْتَسْجُدْ لَهُ كُلُّ مَلَائِكَةِ ٱللهِ». | ٦ 6 |
And [we know his Son is greater than the angels because in] another [Scripture passage someone wrote this about God’s esteemed Son], when God was about to send him into the world: All God’s angels must worship him.
| وَعَنِ ٱلْمَلَائِكَةِ يَقُولُ: «ٱلصَّانِعُ مَلَائِكَتَهُ رِيَاحًا، وَخُدَّامَهُ لَهِيبَ نَارٍ». | ٧ 7 |
[And in the Scriptures it is written that] someone said this about the angels: [God] makes the [angels] who serve him [to be changeable like] [MET] winds and flames of fire.
| وَأَمَّا عَنْ ٱلِٱبْنِ: «كُرْسِيُّكَ يَا ٱللهُ، إِلَى دَهْرِ ٱلدُّهُورِ. قَضِيبُ ٱسْتِقَامَةٍ قَضِيبُ مُلْكِكَ. (aiōn g165) | ٨ 8 |
But on the other hand, [in the Scriptures it is written that God said] this to his Son: You [(sg)] who are [also] God will rule forever [MTY], and you will reign righteously over your kingdom [MTY]. (aiōn g165)
| أَحْبَبْتَ ٱلْبِرَّ، وَأَبْغَضْتَ ٱلْإِثْمَ. مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ مَسَحَكَ ٱللهُ إِلَهُكَ بِزَيْتِ ٱلِٱبْتِهَاجِ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ شُرَكَائِكَ». | ٩ 9 |
You have loved [people’s] righteous [deeds] and you have hated [people’s] lawless [deeds]. So I, your God, have caused you to be more joyful [MTY] than anyone else.
| وَ«أَنْتَ يَارَبُّ فِي ٱلْبَدْءِ أَسَّسْتَ ٱلْأَرْضَ، وَٱلسَّمَاوَاتُ هِيَ عَمَلُ يَدَيْكَ. | ١٠ 10 |
And [we also know that his Son is superior to angels because in the Scriptures the Psalmist wrote that] someone said to God’s Son, Lord, it was you who created the earth in the beginning. You also made [the rest of] the universe (OR, the [things in] the sky) [MTY].
| هِيَ تَبِيدُ وَلَكِنْ أَنْتَ تَبْقَى، وَكُلُّهَا كَثَوْبٍ تَبْلَى، | ١١ 11 |
Everything in the universe will disappear, but you will keep on living [forever]. They will wear out as clothing [wears out].
| وَكَرِدَاءٍ تَطْوِيهَا فَتَتَغَيَّرُ. وَلَكِنْ أَنْتَ أَنْتَ، وَسِنُوكَ لَنْ تَفْنَى». | ١٢ 12 |
You will dispose of them as one rolls up an [old] coat [before getting rid of it]. [Then], you will exchange [everything that is in the universe for what is new], as someone puts on a new garment [in exchange for an old garment] [SIM]. But you [are not like what you created]; You stay the same, and you live forever [LIT]!
| ثُمَّ لِمَنْ مِنَ ٱلْمَلَائِكَةِ قَالَ قَطُّ: «ٱجْلِسْ عَنْ يَمِينِي حَتَّى أَضَعَ أَعْدَاءَكَ مَوْطِئًا لِقَدَمَيْكَ»؟ | ١٣ 13 |
[We also know that his Son is superior to angels because no one ever stated] [RHQ] [in the Scriptures] that God said to any angel [what he said to his Son], Sit [in the place of honor] next to me and rule with me [MTY] while I put all of your enemies completely under your control [MET]!
| أَلَيْسَ جَمِيعُهُمْ أَرْوَاحًا خَادِمَةً مُرْسَلَةً لِلْخِدْمَةِ لِأَجْلِ ٱلْعَتِيدِينَ أَنْ يَرِثُوا ٱلْخَلَاصَ! | ١٤ 14 |
The angels are [only] spirits who serve [God] [RHQ]. [God] sends them [to earth] in order to help those he has saved (OR, those whom he will save).
