< Hebritɔwo 1 >
1 Le blema la Mawu ƒo nu na mia fofowo zi geɖe to mɔ vovovowo dzi to Nyagblɔɖilawo dzi.
God, having in the past spoken to the fathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways,
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 )
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 )
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.
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 Ale wòkɔ sãa wu mawudɔlawo abe ale si ŋkɔ si wòtsɔ nyi domee la kɔ wu wo tɔ sãa ene.
having become so much better than the angels, as he has inherited a more excellent name than they have.
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 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 Eye esi Mawu dɔ via ŋgɔgbea ɖe xexea me la, egblɔ be, “Ele be mawudɔlawo katã nasubɔe.”
And again, when he brings in the firstborn into the world he says, "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.”
Of the angels he says, "Who makes his angels winds, and his servants 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 of the Son he says, "Your throne, O God, is forever and ever, and the righteous scepter 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, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your companions."
10 Egagblɔ be, “O Aƒetɔ, le gɔmedzedzea me la eɖo xexea me ƒe gɔmeɖokpe anyi, eye dziƒowo hã nye wò asinudɔwɔwɔ.
And, "In the beginning, Lord, you established the foundation of the earth. The heavens are the works of your hands.
11 Woatsrɔ̃, gake wò la, ànɔ anyi, wo katã woanyunyɔ abe awu ene.
They will perish, but you remain; and they will all wear out like 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.”
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 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 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 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 out to do service for the sake of those who will inherit salvation?
