Hebrews 1

1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets,

Long ago God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets at many times and in many ways.

2 Has in these last days spoken to us by his Son, whom he has appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; (aiōn g165)

But in these last days, he has spoken to us through a Son, whom he appointed to be the heir of all things. It is through him that God also made the universe. (aiōn g165)

3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high:

He is the brightness of God's glory, the exact representation of his being. He even holds everything together by the word of his power. After he had made cleansing for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high.

4 Being made so much better than the angels, as he has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.

He has become just as superior to the angels as the name he has inherited is more excellent than their name.

5 For to which of the angels said he at any time, You are my Son, this day have I begotten you? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?

For to which of the angels did God ever say, “You are my son, today I have become your father”? Or to which of the angels did God ever say, “I will be a father to him, and he will be a son to me”?

6 And again, when he brings in the first-begotten into the world, he says, And let all the angels of God worship him.

But again, when God brings the firstborn into the world, he says, “All God's angels must worship him.”

7 And of the angels he says, Who makes his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.

About the angels he says, “He is the one who makes his angels spirits, and his servants flames of fire.”

8 But to the Son he says, Your throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a scepter of righteousness is the scepter of your kingdom. (aiōn g165)

But to the Son he says, “Your throne, God, is forever and ever. The scepter of your kingdom is the scepter of justice. (aiōn g165)

9 You have loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows.

You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness. Therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of joy more than your companions.”

10 And, You, Lord, in the beginning have laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of your hands:

“In the beginning, Lord, you laid the earth's foundation. The heavens are the work of your hands.

11 They shall perish; but you remain; and they all shall wax old as does a garment;

They will perish, but you will continue. They will all wear out like a piece of clothing.

12 And as a clothing shall you fold them up, and they shall be changed: but you are the same, and your years shall not fail.

You will roll them up like a cloak, and they will be changed like a piece of clothing. But you are the same, and your years do not end.”

13 But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool?

But to which of the angels has God said at any time, “Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a stool for your feet”?

14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?

Are not all angels spirits who serve, and who are sent to care for those who will inherit salvation?
