< Hebrews 1 >

1 God, that spak sum tyme bi prophetis in many maneres to oure fadris, at the
God, having in the past spoken to the fathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways,
2 laste in these daies he hath spoke to vs bi the sone; whom he hath ordeyned eir of alle thingis, and bi whom he made the worldis. (aiōn g165)
in these last days has spoken to us by a Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the ages. (aiōn g165)
3 Which whanne also he is the briytnesse of glorie, and figure of his substaunce, and berith alle thingis bi word of his vertu, he makith purgacioun of synnes, and syttith on the riythalf of the maieste in heuenes;
He is the radiance of his glory, the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had made purification for sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
4 and so myche is maad betere than aungels, bi hou myche he hath eneritid a more dyuerse name bifor hem.
having become so much better than the angels, as he has inherited a more excellent name than they have.
5 For to whiche of the aungels seide God ony tyme, Thou art my sone, Y haue gendrid thee to dai? And eftsoone, Y schal be to hym in to a fadir, and he schal be to me in to a sone?
For to which of the angels did he say at any time, "You are my Son. Today I have become your Father"? And again, "I will be his Father, and he will be my Son"?
6 And whanne eftsoone he bryngith in the firste bigetun sone in to the world, he seith, And alle the aungels of God worschipe hym.
And again, when he brings in the firstborn into the world he says, "Let all the angels of God worship him."
7 But he seith to aungels, He that makith hise aungels spiritis, and hise mynystris flawme of fier.
Of the angels he says, "Who makes his angels winds, and his servants a flame of fire."
8 But to the sone he seith, God, thi trone is in to the world of world; a yerde of equite is the yerde of thi rewme; (aiōn g165)
But of the Son he says, "Your throne, O God, is forever and ever, and the righteous scepter is the scepter of your Kingdom. (aiōn g165)
9 thou hast louyd riytwisnesse, and hatidist wickidnesse; therfor the God, thi God, anoyntide thee with oile of ioye, more than thi felowis.
You have loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your companions."
10 And, Thou, Lord, in the bigynnyng foundidist the erthe, and heuenes ben werkis of thin hondis; thei schulen perische,
And, "In the beginning, Lord, you established the foundation of the earth. The heavens are the works of your hands.
11 but thou schalt perfitli dwelle; and alle schulen wexe elde as a cloth, and thou schalt chaunge hem as a cloth,
They will perish, but you remain; and they will all wear out like a garment.
12 and thei schulen be chaungid. But thou art the same thi silf, and thi yeeris schulen not faile.
As a cloak, you will roll them up, and like a garment they will be changed. But you remain the same, and your years will have no end."
13 But to whiche of the aungels seide God at ony tyme, Sitte thou on my riythalf, till Y putte thin enemyes a stool of thi feet?
But which of the angels has he told at any time, "Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies the footstool of your feet?"
14 Whether thei alle ben not seruynge spiritis, sente to seruen for hem that taken the eritage of heelthe?
Are they not all ministering spirits, sent out to do service for the sake of those who will inherit salvation?
