Hebrews 1
1 Long ago God communicated frequently to our ancestors in various ways by what the prophets [said and wrote].
Pada masa lalu Allah berbicara kepada nenek moyang kita melalui para nabi di berbagai waktu dan dalam banyak cara,
2 But now when this final age [is beginning], God has communicated to us [just once] by means of what (his Son/the man who was also God) [said and did. God] appointed him in order that he would possess everything [that truly belongs to God. God also appointed] him in order that he would create the universe. (aiōn g165)
di akhir zaman ini Dia sudah berbicara kepada kita melalui Putra-Nya. Allah menunjuk Putra pewaris segalanya, dan menjadikan alam semesta melalui dia. (aiōn g165)
3 He manifests God’s glory. He exactly represents [what God is like]. He (sustains everything by means of his powerful words. When he had [enabled people to be] freed from the [guilt of] their sins [MET], he sat down in heaven [EUP] [to rule] at the place of greatest honor [MTY] with God [MTY].
Anak adalah pancaran kemuliaan Allah, dan ekspresi nyata dari karakter sejati-Nya. Dia menopang segalanya dengan perintahnya yang kuat. Ketika Dia sudah menyediakan pembersihan untuk dosa Dia duduk di sebelah kanan Yang Mulia di surga.
4 By doing that, he [showed that he] was very much greater than the angels, to the extent that his relationship [MTY] [to God, as his Son], is more excellent than the relationship the angels [have to God].
Dia ditempatkan jauh lebih tinggi dari pada para malaikat karena Dia menerima nama yang lebih besar dari mereka.
5 [We know that] because [in the Scriptures] no one [RHQ] ever reported that God said to any angel [what he said to his Son], You [(sg)] are my Son! Today I have declared to all that I am your Father [DOU]! And he said in another Scripture passage, I will be his Father, and he will be my Son [DOU].
Allah tidak pernah berkata kepada malaikat mana pun, “Kamu adalah Putraku; hari ini Aku sudah menjadi Ayahmu,” atau “Aku akan menjadi Ayah baginya, dan Dia akan menjadi Putra bagiku.”
6 And [we know his Son is greater than the angels because in] another [Scripture passage someone wrote this about God’s esteemed Son], when God was about to send him into the world: All God’s angels must worship him.
Juga, ketika Dia membawa Putra sulung-Nya ke dunia, Dia berkata, “Biarlah semua malaikat Allah menyembah dia.”
7 [And in the Scriptures it is written that] someone said this about the angels: [God] makes the [angels] who serve him [to be changeable like] [MET] winds and flames of fire.
Mengenai malaikat, dia berkata, “Dia membuat malaikat-malaikatnya seperti angin, dan hamba-hamba-Nya seperti nyala api,”
8 But on the other hand, [in the Scriptures it is written that God said] this to his Son: You [(sg)] who are [also] God will rule forever [MTY], and you will reign righteously over your kingdom [MTY]. (aiōn g165)
tetapi tentang Anak dia berkata, “Tahta-Mu, Allah, bertahan selama-lamanya, dan keadilan adalah tongkat penguasa kerajaanmu. (aiōn g165)
9 You have loved [people’s] righteous [deeds] and you have hated [people’s] lawless [deeds]. So I, your God, have caused you to be more joyful [MTY] than anyone else.
Engkau menyukai apa yang benar, dan membenci apa yang melanggar hukum. Itulah sebabnya Allah, Allahmu, sudah menempatkanmu di atas semua orang dan mengurapi kamu dengan minyak sukacita.”
10 And [we also know that his Son is superior to angels because in the Scriptures the Psalmist wrote that] someone said to God’s Son, Lord, it was you who created the earth in the beginning. You also made [the rest of] the universe (OR, the [things in] the sky) [MTY].
“Engkau, Tuhan, meletakkan dasar-dasar bumi pada awalnya. Langit adalah hasil tanganmu.
11 Everything in the universe will disappear, but you will keep on living [forever]. They will wear out as clothing [wears out].
Semua itu akan berakhir, tetapi Engkau akan terus ada. Mereka akan usang seperti pakaian,
12 You will dispose of them as one rolls up an [old] coat [before getting rid of it]. [Then], you will exchange [everything that is in the universe for what is new], as someone puts on a new garment [in exchange for an old garment] [SIM]. But you [are not like what you created]; You stay the same, and you live forever [LIT]!
dan Engkau akan menggulung mereka seperti jubah. Seperti pakaian, mereka akan berubah, tetapi Engkau tidak pernah berubah, dan hidup-Mu tidak pernah berakhir.”
13 [We also know that his Son is superior to angels because no one ever stated] [RHQ] [in the Scriptures] that God said to any angel [what he said to his Son], Sit [in the place of honor] next to me and rule with me [MTY] while I put all of your enemies completely under your control [MET]!
Tetapi Dia tidak pernah berkata kepada malaikat mana pun, “Duduklah di tangan kanan-Ku sampai Aku menempatkan musuhmu di bawah kakimu.”
14 The angels are [only] spirits who serve [God] [RHQ]. [God] sends them [to earth] in order to help those he has saved (OR, those whom he will save).
Apa malaikat itu? Mereka adalah makhluk yang melayani, diutus untuk membantu mereka yang akan menerima keselamatan.
