< Hebrews 1 >
1 In many portions and in many ways long ago God having spoken to the fathers in the prophets
God, who at different times and in different ways spoke of old to the fathers by the prophets,
2 in ([this] last *N(k)O*) of the days these has spoken to us in [His] Son whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the ages (aiōn )
hath at the end of these days spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, by whom he also made the worlds, (aiōn )
3 who being [the] radiance of [His] glory and [the] exact expression of the substance of Him, upholding then all things by the declaration of the power of Him (through himself *KO*) [the] purification of sins having made (of us *K*) sat down at [the] right hand of the Majesty on high
who being a brightness from his glory and an image of his being, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself accomplished a cleansing of sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
4 By so much superior having become to the angels, as much as more excellent beyond theirs He has inherited a name.
having become so much superior to the angels, as he hath inherited a more excellent name than they.
5 To which for did He say ever of the angels: Son of mine are You yourself, I myself today have begotten You? And again: I myself will be to Him for a Father, and He himself will be to Me for a Son?
For to which of the angels did he ever say: “Thou art my Son, I this day have begotten thee?” and again: “I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?”
6 When then again He may bring the Firstborn into the world He says: And should worship Him all [the] angels of God.
And again, when he hath brought in the first-begotten into the world, he saith: “And let all the angels of God pay him homage.”
7 And as to indeed the angels He says: The [One] making the angels of Him winds and the ministers of Him of fire a flame;
And of the angels he saith: “Who maketh his angels winds, and his ministers a flame of fire;”
8 Unto however the Son: The throne of You, O God [is] to the age of the age; (and *no*) the scepter (*no*) of righteousness [is] scepter of the kingdom (of You. *NK(O)*) (aiōn )
but of the Son: “Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever; and the sceptre of thy kingdom is a sceptre of righteousness. (aiōn )
9 You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness. because of this has anointed You God, the God of You, with [the] oil of exultation above the companions of You.
Thou lovedst righteousness, and hatedst iniquity; therefore God, thy God, anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.”
10 And You yourself in [the] beginning, Lord, of the earth laid the foundation, and works of the hands of You are the heavens;
And: “Thou, Lord, in the beginning didst found the earth, and the heavens are the works of thy hands.
11 They themselves will perish, You yourself however remain; and all like a garment will grow old,
They will perish, but thou remainest; and they will all become old as doth a garment,
12 and like a robe You will roll up them (like a garment *NO*) also they will be changed; You yourself however the same are, and the years of You not will never end.
and thou wilt fold them up as a vesture, and they will be changed; but thou art the same, and thy years will not fail.”
13 To which now of the angels has He said ever: do sit at [the] right hand of Me until when I may place the enemies of You [as] a footstool for the feet of You?
But to which of the angels hath he ever said: “Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool?”
14 Surely all they are ministering spirits for service being sent forth for the sake of those being about to inherit salvation?
Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for the sake of those who are to inherit salvation?
