Hébreux 1

1 Dieu ayant autrefois, à plusieurs reprises et en plusieurs manières, parlé aux pères par les prophètes,

Long ago God communicated frequently to our ancestors in various ways by what the prophets [said and wrote].

2 à la fin de ces jours-là, nous a parlé dans [le] Fils, qu’il a établi héritier de toutes choses, par lequel aussi il a fait les mondes, (aiōn g165)

But now when this final age [is beginning], God has communicated to us [just once] by means of what (his Son/the man who was also God) [said and did. God] appointed him in order that he would possess everything [that truly belongs to God. God also appointed] him in order that he would create the universe. (aiōn g165)

3 qui, étant le resplendissement de sa gloire et l’empreinte de sa substance, et soutenant toutes choses par la parole de sa puissance, ayant fait par lui-même la purification des péchés, s’est assis à la droite de la majesté dans les hauts [lieux];

He manifests God’s glory. He exactly represents [what God is like]. He (sustains everything by means of his powerful words. When he had [enabled people to be] freed from the [guilt of] their sins [MET], he sat down in heaven [EUP] [to rule] at the place of greatest honor [MTY] with God [MTY].

4 étant devenu d’autant plus excellent que les anges, qu’il a hérité d’un nom plus excellent qu’eux.

By doing that, he [showed that he] was very much greater than the angels, to the extent that his relationship [MTY] [to God, as his Son], is more excellent than the relationship the angels [have to God].

5 Car auquel des anges a-t-il jamais dit: « Tu es mon Fils, moi je t’ai aujourd’hui engendré »? Et encore: « Moi, je lui serai pour père, et lui me sera pour fils »?

[We know that] because [in the Scriptures] no one [RHQ] ever reported that God said to any angel [what he said to his Son], You [(sg)] are my Son! Today I have declared to all that I am your Father [DOU]! And he said in another Scripture passage, I will be his Father, and he will be my Son [DOU].

6 Et encore, quand il introduit le Premier-né dans le monde habité, il dit: « Et que tous les anges de Dieu lui rendent hommage ».

And [we know his Son is greater than the angels because in] another [Scripture passage someone wrote this about God’s esteemed Son], when God was about to send him into the world: All God’s angels must worship him.

7 Et quant aux anges, il dit: « Qui fait ses anges des esprits, et ses ministres une flamme de feu ».

[And in the Scriptures it is written that] someone said this about the angels: [God] makes the [angels] who serve him [to be changeable like] [MET] winds and flames of fire.

8 Mais quant au Fils: « Ton trône, ô Dieu, [est] aux siècles des siècles; c’est un sceptre de droiture que le sceptre de ton règne; (aiōn g165)

But on the other hand, [in the Scriptures it is written that God said] this to his Son: You [(sg)] who are [also] God will rule forever [MTY], and you will reign righteously over your kingdom [MTY]. (aiōn g165)

9 tu as aimé la justice et haï l’iniquité; c’est pourquoi Dieu, ton Dieu, t’a oint d’une huile de joie au-dessus de tes compagnons ».

You have loved [people’s] righteous [deeds] and you have hated [people’s] lawless [deeds]. So I, your God, have caused you to be more joyful [MTY] than anyone else.

10 Et: « Toi, dans les commencements, Seigneur, tu as fondé la terre, et les cieux sont les œuvres de tes mains:

And [we also know that his Son is superior to angels because in the Scriptures the Psalmist wrote that] someone said to God’s Son, Lord, it was you who created the earth in the beginning. You also made [the rest of] the universe (OR, the [things in] the sky) [MTY].

11 eux, ils périront, mais toi, tu demeures; et ils vieilliront tous comme un habit,

Everything in the universe will disappear, but you will keep on living [forever]. They will wear out as clothing [wears out].

12 et tu les plieras comme un vêtement, et ils seront changés; mais toi, tu es le même, et tes ans ne cesseront point ».

You will dispose of them as one rolls up an [old] coat [before getting rid of it]. [Then], you will exchange [everything that is in the universe for what is new], as someone puts on a new garment [in exchange for an old garment] [SIM]. But you [are not like what you created]; You stay the same, and you live forever [LIT]!

13 Et auquel des anges a-t-il jamais dit: « Assieds-toi à ma droite, jusqu’à ce que j’aie mis tes ennemis pour marchepied de tes pieds »?

[We also know that his Son is superior to angels because no one ever stated] [RHQ] [in the Scriptures] that God said to any angel [what he said to his Son], Sit [in the place of honor] next to me and rule with me [MTY] while I put all of your enemies completely under your control [MET]!

14 Ne sont-ils pas tous des esprits administrateurs, envoyés pour servir en faveur de ceux qui vont hériter du salut?

The angels are [only] spirits who serve [God] [RHQ]. [God] sends them [to earth] in order to help those he has saved (OR, those whom he will save).
