< 希伯來書 1 >

1 天主在古時,曾多次並以多種方式,藉著先知對我們的祖先說過話;
In many parts and many ways, God, having spoken long ago to the fathers by the prophets,
2 但在這末期內,衪藉著自己的兒子對我們說了話。天主立了衪為萬有的承繼者,並藉著衪造成了宇宙。 (aiōn g165)
in these last days speaks to us in [His] Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom He also made the ages; (aiōn g165)
3 衪是天主光榮的反映,是天主本體的真像,以自己大能的話支撐萬有;當衪滌除了罪惡之後,便在高天上坐於「尊威」的右邊。
who being the brightness of the glory, and the impress of His subsistence, bearing up also all things by the saying of His might—having made a cleansing of our sins through Himself, sat down at the right hand of the Greatness in the highest,
4 衪所承受的名字既然超越眾天使的名字,所以衪遠超過眾天使之上。
having become so much better than the messengers, as He inherited a more excellent name than them.
5 天主曾向那一位天使說過:『你是我的兒子,我今日生了你﹖』或說過:『我要作衪的父親,衪要作我的兒子﹖』
For to which of the messengers did He ever say, “You are My Son—today I have begotten You?” And again, “I will be to Him for a Father, and He will be to Me for a Son?”
6 再者,當天主引領首生子進入世界的時候,又說:『天主的眾天使都要崇拜衪。』
And when again He may bring the firstborn into the world, He says, “And let them worship Him—all messengers of God”;
7 論到天使固然說過:『天主使自己的天使為風,使自己的僕役為火燄。』
and to the messengers, indeed, He says, “The [One] who is making His messengers spirits, and His ministers a flame of fire”;
8 可是,論到自己的兒子卻說:『天主,你的御座,永遠常存,你治國的權杖,是公正的權杖。 (aiōn g165)
but to the Son: “Your throne, O God, [is] throughout the age of the age; The scepter of righteousness [is the] scepter of Your kingdom; (aiōn g165)
9 你愛護正義,憎恨不法;為此天主,你的天主,用歡愉的油傅了你,勝過你的伴侶。』
You loved righteousness, and hated lawlessness; Because of this He anointed You—God, Your God—With oil of gladness above Your partners”;
10 又說:『上主,你在起初但但奠定了下地上天是你手的功績;
and, “You, LORD, founded the earth at the beginning, And the heavens are a work of Your hands.
11 諸天必要毀滅,而你永遠存在;萬物必要如同衣裳一樣破壞。
These will perish, but You remain, And all will become old as a garment,
12 你將它們捲起好似外套,它門必如衣服,都要變換更新;但是你卻永存不變,你的壽命無盡無限。』
And You will roll them together as a mantle, and they will be changed, But You are the same, and Your years will not fail.”
13 又向那一位天使說過:『你坐在我右邊,等我使你的仇敵,變作你腳下的踏板﹖』
And to which of the messengers did He ever say, “Sit at My right hand, Until I may make Your enemies Your footstool?”
14 眾天使豈不都是奉職的神被派遣給那些要承受救恩的人服務嗎﹖
Are they not all spirits of service—being sent forth for ministry because of those about to inherit salvation?
