Hebritɔwo 1
1 Le blema la Mawu ƒo nu na mia fofowo zi geɖe to mɔ vovovowo dzi to Nyagblɔɖilawo dzi.
At sundry times and in diuers maners God spake in the olde time to our fathers by the Prophetes:
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)
in these last dayes hee hath spoken vnto vs by his Sonne, Whom he hath made heire of al things, by whome also he made the worldes, (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.
Who being the brightnes of the glory, and the ingraued forme of his person, and bearing vp all things by his mightie worde, hath by himselfe purged our sinnes, and sitteth at the right hand of the Maiestie in the highest places,
4 Ale wòkɔ sãa wu mawudɔlawo abe ale si ŋkɔ si wòtsɔ nyi domee la kɔ wu wo tɔ sãa ene.
And is made so much more excellent then the Angels, in as much as hee hath obteined a more excellent Name then 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 vnto which of the Angels saide he at any time, Thou art my Sonne, this day begate I thee? and againe, I will be his Father, and he shalbe my Sonne?
6 Eye esi Mawu dɔ via ŋgɔgbea ɖe xexea me la, egblɔ be, “Ele be mawudɔlawo katã nasubɔe.”
And againe, when he bringeth in his first begotten Sonne into the worlde, hee saith, 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 saith, He maketh the spirites his messengers, 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 vnto the Sonne he saith, O God, thy throne is for euer and euer: the scepter of thy kingdome is a scepter of righteousnes. (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.”
Thou hast loued righteousnes and hated iniquitie. Wherefore God, eue thy God, hath anointed thee with the oyle of gladnes aboue thy fellowes.
10 Egagblɔ be, “O Aƒetɔ, le gɔmedzedzea me la eɖo xexea me ƒe gɔmeɖokpe anyi, eye dziƒowo hã nye wò asinudɔwɔwɔ.
And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast established the earth, and the heauens are the workes of thine handes.
11 Woatsrɔ̃, gake wò la, ànɔ anyi, wo katã woanyunyɔ abe awu ene.
They shall perish, but thou doest remaine: and they all shall waxe olde as doeth 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 vesture shalt thou folde them vp, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy yeeres shall not faile.
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”?
Vnto which also of the Angels saide he at any time, Sit at my right hand, til I make thine enemies thy footestoole?
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 al ministring spirits, sent forth to minister, for their sakes which shalbe heires of saluation?
