1 Efter at Gud fordum havde talt mange Gange og på mange Måder, til Fædrene ved Profeterne,
Long ago God communicated frequently to our ancestors in various ways by what the prophets [said and wrote].
2 så har han ved Slutningen af disse Dage talt til os ved sin Søn, hvem han har sat til Arving af alle Ting, ved hvem han også har skabt Verden; (aiōn g165)
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)
3 han, som - efterdi han er hans Herligheds Glans og hans Væsens udtrykte Billede og bærer alle Ting med sin Krafts Ord - efter at have gjort Renselse fra Synderne har sat sig ved Majestætens højre Hånd i det høje,
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].
4 idet han er bleven så meget ypperligere end Englene, som han har arvet et herligere Navn fremfor dem.
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].
5 Thi til hvilken af Englene sagde han nogen Sinde: "Du er min Søn, jeg har født dig i Dag"? og fremdeles: "Jeg skal være ham en Fader, og han skal være mig en Søn"?
[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].
6 Og når han atter indfører den førstefødte i Verden, hedder det: "Og alle Guds Engle skulle tilbede ham".
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.
7 Og om Englene hedder det: "Han gør sine Engle til Vinde og sine Tjenere til Ildslue";
[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.
8 men om Sønnen: "Din Trone, o Gud! står i al Evighed, og Rettens Kongestav er dit Riges Kongestav. (aiōn g165)
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)
9 Du elskede Retfærdighed og hadede Lovløshed, derfor har Gud, din Gud, salvet dig med Glædens Olie fremfor dine Medbrødre".
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.
10 Og: "Du, Herre! har i Begyndelsen grundfæstet Jorden, og Himlene ere dine Hænders Gerninger.
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].
11 De skulle forgå, men du bliver; og de skulle til Hobe ældes som et Klædebon,
Everything in the universe will disappear, but you will keep on living [forever]. They will wear out as clothing [wears out].
12 ja, som et Klæde skal du sammenrulle dem, og de skulle omskiftes; men du er den samme, og dine År skulle ikke få Ende".
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]!
13 Men til hvilken af Englene sagde han nogen Sinde: "Sæt dig ved min højre Hånd, indtil jeg får lagt dine Fjender som en Skammel for dine Fødder"?
[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]!
14 Ere de ikke alle tjenende Ånder, som udsendes til Hjælp for deres Skyld, der skulle arve Frelse?
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).
