Hebrews 1

1 God, who in ancient days spoke to our forefathers in many distinct messages and by various methods through the Prophets,

很久以前，上帝曾多次通过不同的方式借由先知向我们的祖先说话；

2 has at the end of these days spoken to us through a Son, who is the pre-destined Lord of the universe, and through whom He made the Ages. (aiōn g165)

在这最后的岁月中，上帝又通过他的儿子向我们说话。上帝指认他继承万物，借由他创造宇宙。 (aiōn g165)

3 He brightly reflects God's glory and is the exact representation of His being, and upholds the universe by His all-powerful word. After securing man's purification from sin He took His seat at the right hand of the Majesty on high,

他是上帝的荣耀之光，是上帝性格的显化表现，用其强大的号令支撑万物；当他完成清洁罪恶之事，就会坐在天堂至尊者的右边。

4 having become as far superior to the angels as the Name He possesses by inheritance is more excellent than theirs.

他的名比天使更尊贵，所以地位高于天使。

5 For to which of the angels did God ever say, "My Son art Thou: I have this day become Thy Father;" and again, "I will be a Father to Him, and He shall be My Son"?

照样，基督也没有因成为大祭司而为荣。是哪——上帝曾对他说“你是我的儿子。今天我已成为你的父亲。”

6 But speaking of the time when He once more brings His Firstborn into the world, He says, "And let all God's angels worship Him."

上帝派其长子来到这世上，又说：“让上帝所有的天使都膜拜他。”

7 Moreover of the angels He says, "He changes His angels into winds, and His ministering servants into a flame of fire."

关于天使，他说：“上帝以他的天使为风，以他的仆役为火焰。”

8 But of His Son, He says, "Thy throne, O God, is for ever and for ever, and the sceptre of Thy Kingdom is a sceptre of absolute justice. (aiōn g165)

但是说到他的儿子，他说：“上帝啊！你的宝座必将永恒存在，你王国的权杖是公平的权杖。 (aiōn g165)

9 Thou hast loved righteousness and hated lawlessness; therefore God, Thy God, has anointed Thee with the oil of gladness beyond Thy companions."

你喜爱正义良善，憎恨不法。所以上帝，也就是你的上帝，会为你涂抹欢喜的油膏，以此让你高于其他人。”

10 It is also of His Son that God says, "Thou, O Lord, in the beginning didst lay the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of Thy hands.

“主啊！你最初铺设了大地的根基，天也是你双手的作品。

11 The heavens will perish, but Thou remainest; and they will all grow old like a garment,

它们都会终结，你却会长存；它们会像衣服一样逐渐破旧，

12 and, as though they were a mantle Thou wilt roll them up; yes, like a garment, and they will undergo change. But Thou art the same, and Thy years will never come to an end."

你却会把它们像外套一样卷起来。天地就像衣服一样会被更换；只有你永不改变，你的生命也没有穷尽。”

13 To which of the angels has He ever said, "Sit at My right hand till I make Thy foes a footstool for Thy feet"?

上帝可曾向哪个天使说：“你坐在我的右边，等我将你的仇敌放在你的脚下”？

14 Are not all angels spirits that serve Him--whom He sends out to render service for the benefit of those who, before long, will inherit salvation?

天使呢？天使都是仆从，被派出去为那些将要获得救赎的人效劳。
