Hebrews 1
1 Long ago God communicated frequently to our ancestors in various ways by what the prophets [said and wrote].
天主在古時，曾多次並以多種方式，藉著先知對我們的祖先說過話；
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)
但在這末期內，衪藉著自己的兒子對我們說了話。天主立了衪為萬有的承繼者，並藉著衪造成了宇宙。 (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].
衪是天主光榮的反映，是天主本體的真像，以自己大能的話支撐萬有；當衪滌除了罪惡之後，便在高天上坐於「尊威」的右邊。
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].
衪所承受的名字既然超越眾天使的名字，所以衪遠超過眾天使之上。
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].
天主曾向那一位天使說過：『你是我的兒子，我今日生了你﹖』或說過：『我要作衪的父親，衪要作我的兒子﹖』
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.
再者，當天主引領首生子進入世界的時候，又說：『天主的眾天使都要崇拜衪。』
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.
論到天使固然說過：『天主使自己的天使為風，使自己的僕役為火燄。』
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)
可是，論到自己的兒子卻說：『天主，你的御座，永遠常存，你治國的權杖，是公正的權杖。 (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.
你愛護正義，憎恨不法；為此天主，你的天主，用歡愉的油傅了你，勝過你的伴侶。』
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].
又說：『上主，你在起初但但奠定了下地上天是你手的功績；
11 Everything in the universe will disappear, but you will keep on living [forever]. They will wear out as clothing [wears out].
諸天必要毀滅，而你永遠存在；萬物必要如同衣裳一樣破壞。
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]!
你將它們捲起好似外套，它門必如衣服，都要變換更新；但是你卻永存不變，你的壽命無盡無限。』
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]!
又向那一位天使說過：『你坐在我右邊，等我使你的仇敵，變作你腳下的踏板﹖』
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).
眾天使豈不都是奉職的神被派遣給那些要承受救恩的人服務嗎﹖
