< Hebrews 1 >
1 In many parts and many ways, God, having spoken long ago to the fathers by the prophets,
Πολυμερῶς καὶ πολυτρόπως πάλαι, ὁ ˚Θεὸς, λαλήσας τοῖς πατράσιν ἐν τοῖς προφήταις
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 )
ἐπʼ ἐσχάτου τῶν ἡμερῶν τούτων, ἐλάλησεν ἡμῖν ἐν Υἱῷ, ὃν ἔθηκεν κληρονόμον πάντων, διʼ οὗ καὶ ἐποίησεν τοὺς αἰῶνας· (aiōn )
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,
ὃς ὢν ἀπαύγασμα τῆς δόξης καὶ χαρακτὴρ τῆς ὑποστάσεως αὐτοῦ, φέρων τε τὰ πάντα τῷ ῥήματι τῆς δυνάμεως αὐτοῦ, καθαρισμὸν τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν “ποιησάμενος, ἐκάθισεν ἐν δεξιᾷ” τῆς Μεγαλωσύνης ἐν ὑψηλοῖς.
4 having become so much better than the messengers, as He inherited a more excellent name than them.
Τοσούτῳ κρείττων γενόμενος τῶν ἀγγέλων, ὅσῳ διαφορώτερον παρʼ αὐτοὺς, κεκληρονόμηκεν ὄνομα.
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?”
Τίνι γὰρ εἶπέν ποτε τῶν ἀγγέλων, “Υἱός μου εἶ σύ, ἐγὼ σήμερον γεγέννηκά σε;” Καὶ πάλιν, “Ἐγὼ ἔσομαι αὐτῷ εἰς Πατέρα, καὶ αὐτὸς ἔσται μοι εἰς Υἱόν;”
6 And when again He may bring the firstborn into the world, He says, “And let them worship Him—all messengers of God”;
Ὅταν δὲ πάλιν εἰσαγάγῃ τὸν πρωτότοκον εἰς τὴν οἰκουμένην, λέγει, “Καὶ προσκυνησάτωσαν αὐτῷ πάντες ἄγγελοι ˚Θεοῦ.”
7 and to the messengers, indeed, He says, “The [One] who is making His messengers spirits, and His ministers a flame of fire”;
Καὶ πρὸς μὲν τοὺς ἀγγέλους λέγει, “Ὁ ποιῶν τοὺς ἀγγέλους αὐτοῦ πνεύματα, καὶ τοὺς λειτουργοὺς αὐτοῦ πυρὸς φλόγα”·
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 )
πρὸς δὲ τὸν Υἱόν, “Ὁ θρόνος σου, ὁ ˚Θεὸς, εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τοῦ αἰῶνος, καὶ ἡ ῥάβδος τῆς εὐθύτητος ῥάβδος τῆς βασιλείας αὐτοῦ. (aiōn )
9 You loved righteousness, and hated lawlessness; Because of this He anointed You—God, Your God—With oil of gladness above Your partners”;
Ἠγάπησας δικαιοσύνην καὶ ἐμίσησας ἀνομίαν· διὰ τοῦτο, ἔχρισέν σε ὁ ˚Θεός, ὁ ˚Θεός σου, ἔλαιον ἀγαλλιάσεως παρὰ τοὺς μετόχους σου.”
10 and, “You, LORD, founded the earth at the beginning, And the heavens are a work of Your hands.
Καί, “Σὺ κατʼ ἀρχάς, ˚Κύριε, τὴν γῆν ἐθεμελίωσας, καὶ ἔργα τῶν χειρῶν σού εἰσιν οἱ οὐρανοί.
11 These will perish, but You remain, And all will become old as a garment,
Αὐτοὶ ἀπολοῦνται, σὺ δὲ διαμένεις· καὶ πάντες ὡς ἱμάτιον παλαιωθήσονται,
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.”
καὶ ὡσεὶ περιβόλαιον ἑλίξεις αὐτούς, ὡς ἱμάτιον καὶ ἀλλαγήσονται· σὺ δὲ ὁ αὐτὸς εἶ, καὶ τὰ ἔτη σου οὐκ ἐκλείψουσιν.”
13 And to which of the messengers did He ever say, “Sit at My right hand, Until I may make Your enemies Your footstool?”
Πρὸς τίνα δὲ τῶν ἀγγέλων εἴρηκέν ποτε, “Κάθου ἐκ δεξιῶν μου, ἕως ἂν θῶ τοὺς ἐχθρούς σου, ὑποπόδιον τῶν ποδῶν σου;”
14 Are they not all spirits of service—being sent forth for ministry because of those about to inherit salvation?
Οὐχὶ πάντες εἰσὶν λειτουργικὰ πνεύματα, εἰς διακονίαν ἀποστελλόμενα, διὰ τοὺς μέλλοντας κληρονομεῖν σωτηρίαν;
