< Προς Εβραιους 1 >
1 πολυμερως και πολυτροπως παλαι ο θεος λαλησας τοις πατρασιν εν τοις προφηταις επ εσχατων των ημερων τουτων ελαλησεν ημιν εν υιω
God, having in the past spoken to the fathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways,
2 ον εθηκεν κληρονομον παντων δι ου και τους αιωνας εποιησεν (aiōn )
has at the end of these days spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the ages (aiōn ).
3 ος ων απαυγασμα της δοξης και χαρακτηρ της υποστασεως αυτου φερων τε τα παντα τω ρηματι της δυναμεως αυτου δι εαυτου καθαρισμον ποιησαμενος των αμαρτιων ημων εκαθισεν εν δεξια της μεγαλωσυνης εν υψηλοις
His Son is the radiance of his glory, the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, who, when he had by himself purified us of our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high,
4 τοσουτω κρειττων γενομενος των αγγελων οσω διαφορωτερον παρ αυτους κεκληρονομηκεν ονομα
having become as much better than the angels as the more excellent name he has inherited is better than theirs.
5 τινι γαρ ειπεν ποτε των αγγελων υιος μου ει συ εγω σημερον γεγεννηκα σε και παλιν εγω εσομαι αυτω εις πατερα και αυτος εσται μοι εις υιον
For to which of the angels did he say at any time, “You are my Son. Today I have become your father?” and again, “I will be to him a Father, and he will be to me a Son?”
6 οταν δε παλιν εισαγαγη τον πρωτοτοκον εις την οικουμενην λεγει και προσκυνησατωσαν αυτω παντες αγγελοι θεου
When he again brings in the firstborn into the world he says, “Let all the angels of God worship him.”
7 και προς μεν τους αγγελους λεγει ο ποιων τους αγγελους αυτου πνευματα και τους λειτουργους αυτου πυρος φλογα
Of the angels he says, “He makes his angels winds, and his servants a flame of fire.”
8 προς δε τον υιον ο θρονος σου ο θεος εις τον αιωνα του αιωνος ραβδος ευθυτητος η ραβδος της βασιλειας σου (aiōn )
But of the Son he says, "Your throne, O God, is for the age (aiōn ) of the ages (aiōn ). The scepter of uprightness is the scepter of your Kingdom.
9 ηγαπησας δικαιοσυνην και εμισησας ανομιαν δια τουτο εχρισεν σε ο θεος ο θεος σου ελαιον αγαλλιασεως παρα τους μετοχους σου
You have loved righteousness and hated iniquity; therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows.”
10 και συ κατ αρχας κυριε την γην εθεμελιωσας και εργα των χειρων σου εισιν οι ουρανοι
And, “You, Lord, in the beginning, laid the foundation of the earth. The heavens are the works of your hands.
11 αυτοι απολουνται συ δε διαμενεις και παντες ως ιματιον παλαιωθησονται
They will perish, but you continue. They all will grow old like a garment does.
12 και ωσει περιβολαιον ελιξεις αυτους και αλλαγησονται συ δε ο αυτος ει και τα ετη σου ουκ εκλειψουσιν
You will roll them up like a mantle, and they will be changed; but you are the same. Your years will not fail.”
13 προς τινα δε των αγγελων ειρηκεν ποτε καθου εκ δεξιων μου εως αν θω τους εχθρους σου υποποδιον των ποδων σου
But which of the angels has he told at any time, “Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies the footstool of your feet?”
14 ουχι παντες εισιν λειτουργικα πνευματα εις διακονιαν αποστελλομενα δια τους μελλοντας κληρονομειν σωτηριαν
Are not they all serving spirits, sent out to do service for the sake of those who will inherit salvation?
