Hebrews 1

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

God, who formerly spoke in many portions and in many ways to the fathers by the prophets,

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

spoke to us in these last days by a Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the ages. (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;

Who, being the radiance of his glory, and the exact image of his essence, and upholding all things by the word of his power, having made purification of our sins through himself, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in the heights.

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

Having become so much better than the agents, as he has inherited a more excellent name than they.

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

For to which of the agents did he ever say, Thou are my Son, today I have begotten thee? And again, I will be to him for a Father, and he will be to me for a Son?

6 And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.

And again when he brings the firstborn into the world he says, And let all the agents of God worship him.

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

And indeed toward the agents he says, He who makes his agents spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.

8 But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. (aiōn g165)

But toward the Son, Thy throne, O God, is into the age of the age. The scepter of thy kingdom is a scepter of straightness. (aiōn g165)

9 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

Thou have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness. Because of this, God, thy God, anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy companions.

10 And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands:

And thou, Lord, at the beginnings founded the earth, and the heavens are the works of thy hands.

11 They shall perish; but thou remainest; and they all shall wax old as doth a garment;

They will perish, but thou are permanent. And they will all become old as a garment.

12 And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail.

And thou will roll them up as a mantle, and they will be changed. But thou are the same, and thy years will not cease.

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

But to which of the agents has he ever said, Sit thou by my right hand until I place thine enemies a footstool of thy feet?

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

Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth for service for the sake of those who are going to inherit salvation?
