< Hébreux 1 >
1 Dieu, qui a parlé autrefois à nos pères par les prophètes, bien souvent et en bien des manières, dernièrement,
Long ago God communicated frequently to our ancestors in various ways by what the prophets [said and wrote].
2 En ces jours, nous a parlé par son Fils, qu’il a établi héritier en toutes choses, par qui il a fait même les siècles; (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 la splendeur de sa gloire et l’empreinte de sa substance, et soutenant toutes choses par la puissance de sa parole, après avoir opéré la purification des péchés, est assis à la droite de la Majesté, au plus haut des cieux.
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 Ayant été fait d’autant supérieur aux anges, que le nom qu’il a reçu en partage est bien différent du 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: Vous êtes mon Fils, je vous ai engendré aujourd’hui? Et encore: Moi je serai son Père, et lui sera mon 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 son premier-né dans le monde, il dit: Et 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 À la vérité, l’Ecriture dit touchant les anges: Qui fait de ses anges des vents, et de 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 au Fils: Votre trône, ô Dieu, est dans les siècles des siècles; un sceptre d’équité est le sceptre de votre empire. (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 Vous avez aimé la justice et haï l’iniquité: c’est pourquoi Dieu, votre Dieu, vous a oint d’huile de joie, plus qu’il ne l’a fait à ceux qui ont été oints avec vous.
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 Puis: C’est vous. Seigneur, qui au commencement avez fondé la terre; et les cieux sont l’ouvrage de vos 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 vous, vous demeurerez, et tous vieilliront 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 Et vous les changerez comme un manteau, et ils seront changés; mais vous, vous êtes toujours le même, et vos 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 Aussi, auquel des anges a-t-il jamais dit: Asseyez-vous à ma droite, jusqu’à ce que je fasse de vos ennemis l’escabeau de vos 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 chargés d’un ministère, et envoyés pour l’exercer en faveur de ceux qui recueilleront l’héritage 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).
