< Hebrews 1 >
1 God, who in ancient times, spoke often, and in various ways, to the fathers, by 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 has, in these last days, spoken to us by a Son, whom he has constituted Lord of all things, by whom, also, he made the universe: (aiōn )
whom he constituted the heir of every thing, and by whom he made the worlds; (aiōn )
3 who, being in effulgence of his glory, and an exact representation of his character, and controlling all things by his own powerful word, after he had, by himself, made expiation for our sins, 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 being exalted as far above the angels, as the name he has inherited, is more excellent than 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 he at any time say, "Thou art my Son: to-day I have begotten thee"? and again, "I will be his Father, and he shall 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 But when he brings again the First-born into the world, he says, "Let all the angels of God worship him."
But again, when bringing in the First-begotten into the world, he said, Let all the angels of Aloha worship him.
7 Whereas, concerning angels, he says, "Who makes winds his angels, and flaming fire his ministers."
But concerning the angels, thus hath he spoken: Who hath made his angels spirit, and his ministers a flaming fire.
8 But to the Son, "Thy throne, O God, endures for ever. The scepter of thy kingdom is a scepter of rectitude. (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 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore, God, thy God, has anointed thee with the oil of gladness, above thy associates."
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, "Thou, Lord, in the beginning didst lay the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the works of thy 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 shall perish, but thou dost remain; and they, as a garment, shall grow old;
They pass away, but thou art enduring; and all they as vestments shall become old,
12 and, as a vesture, thou wilt fold them up, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same; and they shall be changed; but thou art the same; and thy years shall never fail."
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 Moreover, to which of the angels did he say, at any time, "Sit thou at my right hand, till I make thy enemies thy footstool."
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 they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall 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?
