< Ndị Hibru 1 >
1 Na mgbe ochie, Chineke gwara nna nna anyị ha okwu nʼoge dị iche iche site nʼọnụ ndị amụma, na site nʼụzọ ndị ọzọ dị iche iche.
IN many ways, and many forms, God anciently conversed with our fathers, by the prophets:
2 Ma nʼoge ikpeazụ ndị a, ọ gwala anyị okwu site nʼọnụ Ọkpara ya, onye o nyefere ihe niile nʼaka. Ọ bụ site nʼaka ya ka o siri kee ụwa niile na ihe dị nʼime ya. (aiōn )
But in these latter days, he hath conversed with us, by his Son; whom he hath constituted heir of all things, and by whom he made the worlds; (aiōn )
3 Ọ na-enwupụta ebube ya na-anọchitekwa anya ụdịdị ya, ebe o ji okwu ya dị ike na-ejikọta ihe niile. Mgbe ọ sachapụrụ ma hichapụkwa mmehie niile, ọ nọdụrụ nʼaka nri nke Onye dị ukwuu, dị elu nʼeluigwe.
who is the splendor of his glory, and the image of himself, and upholdeth all by the energy of his word; and by himself he made a purgation of sins, and sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high.
4 Ya mere, ọ bụrụla onye dị ukwu karịa ndị mmụọ ozi dị ka aha e nyere ya si dị elu karịa nke ha.
And he is altogether superior to the angels, as he hath also inherited a name which excelleth theirs.
5 Onye nʼetiti ndị mmụọ ozi ka ọ gwarala sị, “Ị bụ Ọkpara m. Taa abụrụla m Nna gị”? Maọbụ ọzọkwa, “Aga m abụrụ ya Nna, ya onwe ya ga-abụkwara m Nwa”?
For to which of the angels did God ever say, Thou art my SON, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?
6 Ọzọkwa, mgbe o mere ka nwa mbụ ya bịa nʼụwa, o nyere iwu sị, “Ka ndị mmụọ ozi Chineke niile fee ya ofufe.”
And again, when bringing the first begotten into the world, he said: Let all the angels of God worship him.
7 O kwukwara banyere ndị mmụọ ozi ya, ọ sịrị, “Ọ na-eme ndị mmụọ ozi ya ka ha bụrụ ikuku, na-emekwa ndị na-ejere ya ozi ka ha bụrụ ire ọkụ.”
But of the angels he thus said: Who made his angels a wind, and his ministers a flaming fire.
8 Ma banyere Ọkpara ahụ, ọ sịrị, “Ocheeze gị, O Chineke, ga-adịgide ruo mgbe ebighị ebi. Mkpara omume ziri ezi ka mkpara alaeze gị ga-abụ. (aiōn )
But of the Son he said: Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever; a righteous sceptre is the sceptre of thy kingdom. (aiōn )
9 Ị hụrụ ezi omume nʼanya ma kpọọ ihe ọjọọ asị. Nʼihi nke a, Chineke, nke bụ Chineke gị, emeela ka ịdị elu karịa ndị ibe gị niile site na ite gị mmanụ nke ọṅụ.”
Thou hast loved rectitude, and hated iniquity; therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness more than thy associates.
10 Ọ sịkwara, “Na mmalite, Onyenwe anyị, ọ bụ gị tọrọ ntọala ụwa, eluigwe bụkwa ọrụ aka gị.
And again, Thou hast from the beginning laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of thy hands:
11 Ha ga-ala nʼiyi, ma gị onwe gị ga-anọgide. Ha niile ga-aka nka dịka uwe.
they will pass away, but thou endurest; and they all, like a robe, wax old;
12 Ị ga-apịakọta ha, gbanwee ha dị ka akwa. Ma gị onwe gị enweghị mgbanwe. Ọnụọgụgụ afọ gị agaghị enwe ọgwụgwụ ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.”
and like a cloak, thou wilt fold them up. They will be changed; but thou wilt be as thou art, and thy years will not be finished.
13 O nweela mmụọ ozi ọbụla ọ sịrị, “Nọdụ ala nʼaka nri m ruo mgbe m ga-eme ndị iro gị ihe mgbakwasị ụkwụ nye ụkwụ gị”?
And to which of the angels did he ever say: Sit thou at my right hand, until I shall place thy enemies a footstool under thy feet?
14 Ndị mmụọ ozi niile, ha abụghị mmụọ ndị na-ejere Chineke ozi, ndị a na-ezipụ ka ha jee ozi nʼihi ndị ahụ ga-eketa nzọpụta?
Are they not all spirits of ministration, who are sent to minister on account of them that are to inherit life?
