< Hebrews 1 >
1 God, having in the past spoken to the fathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways,
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 in these last days has spoken to us by a Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the ages. (aiōn )
whom he constituted the heir of every thing, and by whom he made the worlds; (aiōn )
3 He is the radiance of his glory, the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had made purification for sins, sat down on 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 having become so much better than the angels, as he has inherited a more excellent name than they have.
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 say at any time, "You are my Son. Today I have become your Father"? And again, "I will be his Father, and he will 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 And again, when he brings in the firstborn 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 Of the angels he says, "Who makes his angels winds, and his servants a flame of fire."
But concerning the angels, thus hath he spoken: Who hath made his angels spirit, and his ministers a flaming fire.
8 But of the Son he says, "Your throne, O God, is forever and ever, and the righteous scepter is the scepter of your Kingdom. (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 You have loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your companions."
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, "In the beginning, Lord, you established the foundation of the earth. The heavens are the works of your 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 will perish, but you remain; and they will all wear out like a garment.
They pass away, but thou art enduring; and all they as vestments shall become old,
12 As a cloak, you will roll them up, and like a garment they will be changed. But you remain the same, and your years will have no end."
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 But which of the angels has he told at any time, "Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies the footstool of your feet?"
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 out to do service for the sake of those who will 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?
