Hebritɔwo 1
1 Le blema la Mawu ƒo nu na mia fofowo zi geɖe to mɔ vovovowo dzi to Nyagblɔɖilawo dzi.
In many places and in many ways, in past times, God spoke to the fathers through 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 g165)
lastly, in these days, he has spoken to us through the Son, whom he appointed as the heir of all things, and through whom he made the world. (aiōn g165)
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.
And since the Son is the brightness of his glory, and the figure of his substance, and is carrying all things by the Word of his virtue, thereby accomplishing a purging of sins, he sits at the right hand of Majesty on high.
4 Ale wòkɔ sãa wu mawudɔlawo abe ale si ŋkɔ si wòtsɔ nyi domee la kɔ wu wo tɔ sãa ene.
And having been made so much better than the Angels, he has inherited a name so much greater than theirs.
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 has he ever said: “You are my Son; today have I begotten you?” Or again: “I will be a Father to him, and he shall be a Son to me?”
6 Eye esi Mawu dɔ via ŋgɔgbea ɖe xexea me la, egblɔ be, “Ele be mawudɔlawo katã nasubɔe.”
And again, when he brings the only-begotten Son into the world, he says: “And let all the Angels of God adore 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 about the Angels, certainly, he says: “He 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 g165)
But about the Son: “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever. The scepter of your kingdom is a scepter of equity. (aiōn g165)
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 justice, and you have hated iniquity. Because of this, God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of exultation, 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, O Lord, you founded the earth. And the heavens are the work of your hands.
11 Woatsrɔ̃, gake wò la, ànɔ anyi, wo katã woanyunyɔ abe awu ene.
These shall pass away, but you will remain. And all will grow old 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.”
And you will change them like a cloak, and they shall be changed. Yet you are ever the same, and your years will not diminish.”
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 has he ever said: “Sit at 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 spirits of ministration, sent to minister for the sake of those who shall receive the inheritance of salvation?
