< Hebrews 1 >
1 On many past occasions and in many different ways, God spoke to our fathers through the prophets.
In manifold portions and in all manners, spake Aloha with our fathers by the prophets from the first: but in these last days he hath spoken with us by his Son;
2 But in these last days He has spoken to us by His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, and through whom He made the universe. (aiōn )
whom he constituted the heir of every thing, and by whom he made the worlds; (aiōn )
3 The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of His nature, upholding all things by His powerful word. After He had provided purification for sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high.
who himself is the resplendence of his glory, and the image of his Being, and upholdeth all (things) by the power of his word; and he, in his (own) person, hath made purification of sins, and hath sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high.
4 So He became as far superior to the angels as the name He has inherited is excellent beyond theirs.
And this (person) is altogether more excellent than the angels, by so much as the name he hath inherited (is) more excellent than theirs.
5 For to which of the angels did God ever say: “You are My Son; today I have become Your Father”? Or again: “I will be His Father, and He will be My Son”?
For unto which one from (among) the angels at any time said Aloha, Thou art MY SON; I to-day have begotten thee? And again, I will be to him the Father, and he shall be to me the Son?
6 And again, when God brings His firstborn into the world, He says: “Let all God’s angels worship Him.”
But again, when bringing in the First-begotten into the world, he said, Let all the angels of Aloha worship him.
7 Now about the angels He says: “He makes His angels winds, His servants flames of fire.”
But concerning the angels, thus hath he spoken: Who hath made his angels spirit, and his ministers a flaming fire.
8 But about the Son He says: “Your throne, O God, endures forever and ever, and justice is the scepter of Your kingdom. (aiōn )
But concerning the Son he hath said, Thy throne, Aloha, (is) for ever and ever, a right sceptre (is) the sceptre of thy kingdom. (aiōn )
9 You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, Your God, has anointed You above Your companions with the oil of joy.”
Thou hast loved righteousness, and hast hated iniquity; therefore Aloha thy God hath anointed thee with the oil of exultation more (abundantly) than thy fellows.
10 And: “In the beginning, O Lord, You laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of Your hands.
And again, Thou in the beginning hast laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of thy hands.
11 They will perish, but You remain; they will all wear out like a garment.
They pass away, but thou art enduring; and all they as vestments shall become old,
12 You will roll them up like a robe; like a garment they will be changed; but You remain the same, and Your years will never end.”
and as a garment thou shalt fold them up, they shall be changed; but thou (shalt be) as Thou Art, and thy years shall not fail
13 Yet to which of the angels did God ever say: “Sit at My right hand until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet”?
But to which from (among) the angels hath he said at any time, Sit at my right hand, until I put thine adversaries a footstool beneath thy feet?
14 Are not the angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?
Are not all they spirits of ministration, who (are) sent forth in service on behalf of those who are hereafter to inherit salvation?
