Hebrews 1

1 Whereas, in many parts and in many ways of old, God spake unto the fathers, in the prophets,

In many parts, and many ways, God of old having spoken to the fathers in the prophets,

2 At the end of these days, He hath spoken unto us in his Son, —whom he hath appointed heir of all things, through whom also he hath made the ages; (aiōn g165)

in these last days did speak to us in a Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom also He did make the ages; (aiōn g165)

3 Who, being an eradiated brightness of his glory, and an exact representation of his very being, also bearing up all things by the utterance of his power, purification of sins, having achieved, sat down on the right hand of the majesty in high places:

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

4 By so much becoming superior to the messengers, by as much as, going beyond them, he hath inherited a more distinguished name.

having become so much better than the messengers, as he did inherit a more excellent name than they.

5 For unto which of the messengers said he at any time—My Son, art, thou, I, this day have begotten thee? and again—I, will become, his father, and, he, shall become my Son?

For to which of the messengers said He ever, 'My Son thou art — I to-day have begotten thee?' and again, 'I will be to him for a father, and he shall be to Me for a son?'

6 But, whensoever he again introduceth the first-begotten into the habitable earth, he saith—And let all God’s messengers worship him!

and when again He may bring in the first-born to the world, He saith, 'And let them bow before him — all messengers of God;'

7 Even as to the messengers, indeed, he saith—Who maketh his messengers, winds, and his ministers of state, a fiery flame;

and unto the messengers, indeed, He saith, 'Who is making His messengers spirits, and His ministers a flame of fire;'

8 but, as to the Son, —Thy throne, O God, is unto times age-abiding, and—A sceptre of equity, is the sceptre of his kingdom, (aiōn g165)

and unto the Son: 'Thy throne, O God, [is] to the age of the age; a sceptre of righteousness [is] the sceptre of thy reign; (aiōn g165)

9 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated lawlessness, —For this cause, hath God, thy God, anointed thee with the oil of exultation, beyond thy partners;

thou didst love righteousness, and didst hate lawlessness; because of this did He anoint thee — God, thy God — with oil of gladness above thy partners;'

10 and—Thou, by way of beginning, Lord, the earth, didst found, and, the works of thy hands, are the heavens, —

and, 'Thou, at the beginning, Lord, the earth didst found, and a work of thy hands are the heavens;

11 They, shall perish, but, thou, abidest still, and, all, as a mantle, shall be worn out,

these shall perish, and Thou dost remain, and all, as a garment, shall become old,

12 And, as if a robe, wilt thou fold them up, —as a mantle, and they shall be changed; but, thou, art the same, and thy years shall not fail.

and as a mantle Thou shall roll them together, and they shall be changed, and Thou art the same, and Thy years shall not fail.'

13 But, to which of the messengers, hath he said, at any time—Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thy foes thy footstool?

And unto which of the messengers said He ever, 'Sit at My right hand, till I may make thine enemies thy footstool?'

14 Are they not, all, spirits, doing public service, —for ministry, sent forth, for the sake of them who are about to inherit salvation?

are they not all spirits of service — for ministration being sent forth because of those about to inherit salvation?
