Hebrews 1

1 In many parts and many ways, God, having spoken long ago to the fathers by the prophets,

God, who in many parts and in many ways spoke in ancient times to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by his Son,

2 in these last days speaks to us in [His] Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom He also made the ages; (aiōn g165)

whom he has appointed heir of all things, by whom, also, he made the ages; (aiōn g165)

3 who being the brightness of the glory, and the impress of His subsistence, bearing up also all things by the saying of His might—having made a cleansing of our sins through Himself, sat down at the right hand of the Greatness in the highest,

who, being the effulgence of his glory and the exact representation of his essence, and upholding all things by his own powerful word, when he had by himself made expiation for our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,

4 having become so much better than the messengers, as He inherited a more excellent name than them.

having become so far superior to the angels, as the name which he has inherited is more excellent than theirs.

5 For to which of the messengers did He ever say, “You are My Son—today I have begotten You?” And again, “I will be to Him for a Father, and He will be to Me for a Son?”

For to which of the angels did he at any time say: 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?

6 And when again He may bring the firstborn into the world, He says, “And let them worship Him—all messengers of God”;

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

7 and to the messengers, indeed, He says, “The [One] who is making His messengers spirits, and His ministers a flame of fire”;

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

8 but to the Son: “Your throne, O God, [is] throughout the age of the age; The scepter of righteousness [is the] scepter of Your kingdom; (aiōn g165)

But to the Son: Thy throne, O God, is from age to age: a scepter of rectitude is the scepter of thy kingdom. (aiōn g165)

9 You loved righteousness, and hated lawlessness; Because of this He anointed You—God, Your God—With oil of gladness above Your partners”;

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

10 and, “You, LORD, founded the earth at the beginning, And the heavens are a work of Your hands.

And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning, didst lay the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are the works of thy hands.

11 These will perish, but You remain, And all will become old as a garment,

They shall perish; but thou remainest: and they all shall grow old as a garment;

12 And You will roll them together as a mantle, and they will be changed, But You are the same, and Your years will not fail.”

and as a mantle thou shalt fold them up, and they shall be changed; but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail.

13 And to which of the messengers did He ever say, “Sit at My right hand, Until I may make Your enemies Your footstool?”

But to which of the angels has he said at any time: Sit on my right hand, till I make thy enemies thy footstool?

14 Are they not all spirits of service—being sent forth for ministry because of those about to inherit salvation?

Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister to those who shall inherit salvation?
