< Hebera 1 >
1 O KE Akua, o ka mea i olelo pinepine mai i na wa kahiko i ka poe kupuna, me kela mea a me keia mea, ma ka poe kaula,
God, having spoken to the fathers through the prophets in many parts and in various ways, in the past,
2 Oia ka i olelo hou mai ia kakou i keia mau la muli iho nei ma ke Keiki, ka mea i hooliloia e ia i haku no na mea a pau, ma ona la hoi ia i hana'i i ka lani a me ka honua. (aiōn )
has at the end of these days spoken to us by Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the ages; (aiōn )
3 Oia ka olinolino o kona nani, a me ka like loa o kona ano maoli, e hoomau ana i na mea a pau ma kana olelo mana iho, a, hoolilo iho la ia ia iho i mea e maemae ai ko kakou hewa, noho iho la ia ma ka lima akau o ka Moi maluna lilo;
who being the projection of His glory and the very image of His essence, and sustaining all things by the expression of His[S] own power, when He had by Himself provided purification for our sins He sat down on the highest Majesty's right,
4 A ua hookiekieia'e maluna loa o na anela, e like me ka oi ana o ka maikai o kona inoa i loaa ia ia, mamua o ko lakou.
having become so much superior to the angels as He has inherited a more excellent name than they have.
5 No ka mea, o ka anela hea kana i olelo aku ai i kekahi manawa, O oe no ka'u Keiki, i keia la no ua hoohanau aku au ia oe? Eia hoi, E lilo au i Makua nona, a e lilo oia i Keiki na'u?
For to which of the angels did He[F] ever say, “You are my Son, today I begot you,” and again, “I will be ‘Father’ to Him, and He will be ‘Son’ to me?”
6 Eia hou hoi, i kona hookomo ana i ka makahiapo i ke ao nei, i iho la ia, E hoomana mai ka poe anela a pau o ke Akua ia ia.
Again, when He introduces the Firstborn into the inhabited earth He says, “Let all God's angels worship Him[S].”
7 A ua oleloia mai hoi no ka poe anela, Ua hoolilo oia i kona poe anela i mau makani, a i kana poe kauwa lawelawe i lapalapa o ke ahi.
Further, about the angels He[F] says, “Who makes His angels winds, His servants flames of fire”;
8 Aka no ke Keiki, O kou nohoalii, e ke Akua, e mau loa ana no ia; a he hoailonamoi o ka pono ka hoailonamoi o kou aupuni. (aiōn )
while to the Son He says: “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; ‘Scepter of Uprightness’ is the scepter of Your kingdom. (aiōn )
9 Ua makemake hoi oe i ka pono, a ua inaina i ka hewa; nolaila i poni ai ke Akua, kou Akua, ia oe me ka aila o ka olioli maluna o kou mau hoa.
You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness, therefore God, Your God, has anointed You with the oil of exultation beyond Your companions.”
10 Eia hoi, i ka wa kahiko, ua hookumu oe, e ka Haku, i ka honua; a o na lani hoi ka hana a kou mau lima.
Also: “You, Lord, in the beginning, laid the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are works of Your hands;
11 E pau ana no lakou, aka, e mau ana no oe; e lualua loa ana no lakou a pau me he kapa la;
they will perish but You continue on —they will all grow old like a garment;
12 A e opiopi ana no oe ia lakou me he aahu la, a e lilo aku; aka, e oia mau ana no oe, a o kou mau makahiki, aole loa e pau.
You will roll them up like a cloak and they will be changed, while You stay the same and Your years will never end.”
13 O ka anela hea kana i olelo aku ai i kekahi manawa, E noho oe ma ko'u lima akau, a hoolilo iho au i kou mau enemi i paepae wawae non?
On the other hand, to which of the angels did He ever say, “Sit on my right until I place your enemies as a stool under your feet”?
14 Aole anei lakou a pau he poe uhane lawelawe i hoounaia, e kokua i ka poe e lilo ana i poe hooilina o ke ola?
Are they not all ministering spirits being sent to serve those who are going to inherit salvation?
