Hebrews 1

1 God, that spak sum tyme bi prophetis in many maneres to oure fadris, at the

In many parts, and many ways, God of old having spoken to the fathers in the prophets,

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 did speak to us in a Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom also He did make 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;

who being the brightness of the glory, and the impress of His subsistence, bearing up also the all things by the saying of his might — through himself having made a cleansing of our sins, sat down at the right hand of the greatness in the highest,

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 messengers, as he did inherit a more excellent name than they.

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 messengers said He ever, 'My Son thou art — I to-day have begotten thee?' and again, 'I will be to him for a father, and he shall be to Me for a 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 when again He may bring in the first-born to the world, He saith, 'And let them bow before him — all messengers of God;'

7 But he seith to aungels, He that makith hise aungels spiritis, and hise mynystris flawme of fier.

and unto the messengers, indeed, He saith, 'Who is making His messengers spirits, and His ministers 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)

and unto the Son: 'Thy throne, O God, [is] to the age of the age; a sceptre of righteousness [is] the sceptre of thy reign; (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.

thou didst love righteousness, and didst hate lawlessness; because of this did He anoint thee — God, thy God — with oil of gladness above thy partners;'

10 And, Thou, Lord, in the bigynnyng foundidist the erthe, and heuenes ben werkis of thin hondis; thei schulen perische,

and, 'Thou, at the beginning, Lord, the earth didst found, and a work of thy hands are the heavens;

11 but thou schalt perfitli dwelle; and alle schulen wexe elde as a cloth, and thou schalt chaunge hem as a cloth,

these shall perish, and Thou dost remain, and all, as a garment, shall become old,

12 and thei schulen be chaungid. But thou art the same thi silf, and thi yeeris schulen not faile.

and as a mantle Thou shall roll them together, and they shall be changed, and Thou art the same, and Thy years shall not fail.'

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?

And unto which of the messengers said He ever, 'Sit at My right hand, till I may make thine enemies thy footstool?'

14 Whether thei alle ben not seruynge spiritis, sente to seruen for hem that taken the eritage of heelthe?

are they not all spirits of service — for ministration being sent forth because of those about to inherit salvation?
