Hebrews 1
1 Whereas, in many parts and in many ways of old, God spake unto the fathers, in the prophets,
God having spoken in many parts and in many ways formerly 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)
at the end of these days has spoken to us in [the person of the] Son, whom he has established heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; (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] effulgence of his glory and [the] expression of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, having made [by himself] the purification of sins, set himself down on the right hand of the greatness on high,
4 By so much becoming superior to the messengers, by as much as, going beyond them, he hath inherited a more distinguished name.
taking a place by so much better than the angels, as he inherits a name more excellent 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 angels said he ever, Thou art my Son: this day have I begotten thee? and again, I will be to him for father, and he shall be to me for 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 again, when he brings in the firstborn into the habitable world, he says, And let all God's angels worship him.
7 Even as to the messengers, indeed, he saith—Who maketh his messengers, winds, and his ministers of state, a fiery flame;
And as to the angels he says, Who makes his angels 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)
but as to the Son, Thy throne, O God, [is] to the age of the age, and a sceptre of uprightness [is] the sceptre of thy kingdom. (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 hast loved righteousness and hast hated lawlessness; therefore God, thy God, has anointed thee with oil of gladness above thy companions.
10 and—Thou, by way of beginning, Lord, the earth, didst found, and, the works of thy hands, are the heavens, —
And, Thou in the beginning, Lord, hast founded the earth, and works of thy hands are the heavens.
11 They, shall perish, but, thou, abidest still, and, all, as a mantle, shall be worn out,
They shall perish, but thou continuest still; and they all shall grow old as a garment,
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 covering shalt thou roll them up, and they shall be changed; but 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?
But as to which of the angels said he ever, Sit at my right hand until I put thine enemies [as] footstool of thy feet?
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 ministering spirits, sent out for service on account of those who shall inherit salvation?
