< Hebritɔwo 1 >
1 Le blema la Mawu ƒo nu na mia fofowo zi geɖe to mɔ vovovowo dzi to Nyagblɔɖilawo dzi.
God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets,
2 Ke le ŋkeke mamlɛtɔ siawo me la, eƒo nu na mí to Via si wòtia be wòanye nuwo katã ƒe domenyila la dzi, ame si dzi hã wòto wɔ xexea me. (aiōn )
Has in these last days spoken to us by his Son, whom he has appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; (aiōn )
3 Vi la klẽna kple Mawu ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe. Enye ame si ɖe Mawu ƒe nɔnɔme tututu fia, eye wòna agbe nuwo katã to eƒe ŋusẽnya la me. Esi wòklɔ nu vɔ̃wo ɖa vɔ la, enɔ anyi ɖe Mawu ƒe nuɖusime le dziƒo.
Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high:
4 Ale wòkɔ sãa wu mawudɔlawo abe ale si ŋkɔ si wòtsɔ nyi domee la kɔ wu wo tɔ sãa ene.
Being made so much better than the angels, as he has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.
5 Elabena mawudɔlawo dometɔ kae Mawu gblɔ na kpɔ be, “Wòe nye vinye; egbe mezu Fofowò”? Alo wògagblɔ na ɖe be, “Manye fofoa, eye eya hã anye Vinye”?
For to which of the angels said he at any time, You are my Son, this day have I begotten you? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?
6 Eye esi Mawu dɔ via ŋgɔgbea ɖe xexea me la, egblɔ be, “Ele be mawudɔlawo katã nasubɔe.”
And again, when he brings in the first-begotten into the world, he says, And let all the angels of God worship him.
7 Mawu ƒo nu tso eƒe dɔlawo ŋuti be, “Ewɔ eƒe dɔlawo abe yaƒoƒowo ene, eye eƒe subɔlawo abe dzo ƒe aɖewo ene.”
And of the angels he says, Who makes his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.
8 Ke egblɔ le via ya ŋuti be, “O, Mawu, wò fiazikpui anɔ anyi tegbetegbe, eye dzɔdzɔnyenye anye wò fiaɖuƒe ƒe tsiamiti. (aiōn )
But to the Son he says, Your throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a scepter of righteousness is the scepter of your kingdom. (aiōn )
9 Èlɔ̃ dzɔdzɔenyenye, eye nèlé fu ŋutasesẽ, eya ta Mawu, wò Mawu la tsɔ wò ɖo teƒe kɔkɔ wu nɔviwòwo katã to esia me be etsɔ dzidzɔ ƒe ami la si na wò.”
You have loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows.
10 Egagblɔ be, “O Aƒetɔ, le gɔmedzedzea me la eɖo xexea me ƒe gɔmeɖokpe anyi, eye dziƒowo hã nye wò asinudɔwɔwɔ.
And, You, Lord, in the beginning have laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of your hands:
11 Woatsrɔ̃, gake wò la, ànɔ anyi, wo katã woanyunyɔ abe awu ene.
They shall perish; but you remain; and they all shall wax old as does a garment;
12 Àŋlɔ wo abe awu ʋlaya ene, eye àɖe wo ɖi abe awu si wodo la ene, ke wò ya la, ànɔ nenema, màtrɔ o, eye wò ƒewo hã mawu enu akpɔ gbeɖe o.”
And as a clothing shall you fold them up, and they shall be changed: but you are the same, and your years shall not fail.
13 Mawudɔla kae Mawu gblɔ na kpɔ be, “Bɔbɔ nɔ anyi ɖe nye nuɖusime va se ɖe esime mawɔ wò futɔwo woazu afɔɖodzinu na wò”?
But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool?
14 Ekema nu kawoe mawudɔlawo nye? Wo katã nye gbɔgbɔ siwo subɔa Mawu, eye Mawu dɔa wo be woakpe ɖe ame siwo anyi ɖeɖekpɔkpɔ ƒe dome la ŋuti.
Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?
