< 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;
purA ya Ishvaro bhaviShyadvAdibhiH pitR^ilokebhyo nAnAsamaye nAnAprakAraM kathitavAn
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 )
sa etasmin sheShakAle nijaputreNAsmabhyaM kathitavAn| sa taM putraM sarvvAdhikAriNaM kR^itavAn tenaiva cha sarvvajaganti sR^iShTavAn| (aiōn )
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。
sa putrastasya prabhAvasya pratibimbastasya tattvasya mUrttishchAsti svIyashaktivAkyena sarvvaM dhatte cha svaprANairasmAkaM pApamArjjanaM kR^itvA UrddhvasthAne mahAmahimno dakShiNapArshve samupaviShTavAn|
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。
divyadUtagaNAd yathA sa vishiShTanAmno. adhikArI jAtastathA tebhyo. api shreShTho jAtaH|
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﹖』
yato dUtAnAM madhye kadAchidIshvareNedaM ka uktaH? yathA, "madIyatanayo. asi tvam adyaiva janito mayA|" punashcha "ahaM tasya pitA bhaviShyAmi sa cha mama putro bhaviShyati|"
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。』
aparaM jagati svakIyAdvitIyaputrasya punarAnayanakAle tenoktaM, yathA, "Ishvarasya sakalai rdUtaireSha eva praNamyatAM|"
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。』
dUtAn adhi tenedam uktaM, yathA, "sa karoti nijAn dUtAn gandhavAhasvarUpakAn| vahnishikhAsvarUpAMshcha karoti nijasevakAn||"
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 )
kintu putramuddishya tenoktaM, yathA, "he Ishvara sadA sthAyi tava siMhAsanaM bhavet| yAthArthyasya bhaveddaNDo rAjadaNDastvadIyakaH| (aiōn )
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。』
puNye prema karoShi tvaM ki nchAdharmmam R^itIyase| tasmAd ya Isha Ishaste sa te mitragaNAdapi| adhikAhlAdatailena sechanaM kR^itavAn tava||"
10 又說:『上主,你在起初但但奠定了下地上天是你手的功績;
punashcha, yathA, "he prabho pR^ithivImUlam Adau saMsthApitaM tvayA| tathA tvadIyahastena kR^itaM gaganamaNDalaM|
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。
ime vinaMkShyatastvantu nityamevAvatiShThase| idantu sakalaM vishvaM saMjariShyati vastravat|
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。』
sa NkochitaM tvayA tattu vastravat parivartsyate| tvantu nityaM sa evAsI rnirantAstava vatsarAH||"
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﹖』
aparaM dUtAnAM madhye kaH kadAchidIshvareNedamuktaH? yathA, "tavArIn pAdapIThaM te yAvannahi karomyahaM| mama dakShiNadigbhAge tAvat tvaM samupAvisha||"
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﹖
