< Hébreux 1 >
1 Après avoir autrefois, à plusieurs reprises et de plusieurs manières, parlé à nos pères par les prophètes,
Long ago God communicated frequently to our ancestors in various ways by what the prophets [said and wrote].
2 Dieu, dans ces derniers temps, nous a parlé par le Fils, qu’il a établi héritier de toutes choses, par lequel il a aussi créé le monde, (aiōn )
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 )
3 et qui, étant le reflet de sa gloire et l’empreinte de sa personne, et soutenant toutes choses par sa parole puissante, a fait la purification des péchés et s’est assis à la droite de la majesté divine dans les lieux très hauts,
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 devenu d’autant supérieur aux anges qu’il a hérité d’un nom plus excellent que le leur.
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 Dieu a-t-il jamais dit: Tu es mon Fils, Je t’ai engendré aujourd’hui? Et encore: Je serai pour lui un père, et il sera pour moi un 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 lorsqu’il introduit de nouveau dans le monde le premier-né, il dit: Que tous les anges de Dieu l’adorent!
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 De plus, il dit des anges: Celui qui fait de ses anges des vents, Et de ses serviteurs 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 il a dit au Fils: Ton trône, ô Dieu, est éternel; Le sceptre de ton règne est un sceptre d’équité; (aiōn )
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 )
9 Tu as aimé la justice, et tu as haï l’iniquité; c’est pourquoi, ô Dieu, ton Dieu t’a oint d’une huile de joie au-dessus de tes égaux.
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 encore: Toi, Seigneur, tu as au commencement fondé la terre, Et les cieux sont l’ouvrage 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 Ils périront, mais tu subsistes; Ils vieilliront tous comme un vêtement,
Everything in the universe will disappear, but you will keep on living [forever]. They will wear out as clothing [wears out].
12 Tu les rouleras comme un manteau et ils seront changés; Mais toi, tu restes le même, Et tes années ne finiront 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 je fasse de tes ennemis ton marchepied?
[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 au service de Dieu, envoyés pour exercer un ministère en faveur de ceux qui doivent 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).
