ヘブル人への手紙 1
1 神むかしは預言者 等により、多くに分ち、多くの方法をもて先祖たちに語り給ひしが、
God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets,
Has in these last days spoken to us by his Son, whom he has appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; (aiōn g165)
3 御子は神の榮光のかがやき、神の本質の像にして、己が權能の言をもて萬の物を保ちたまふ。また罪の潔をなして、高き處にある稜威の右に坐し給へり。
Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high:
4 その受け給ひし名の御使の名に勝れるごとく、御使よりは更に勝る者となり給へり。
Being made so much better than the angels, as he has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.
5 神は孰の御使に曾て斯くは言ひ給ひしぞ『なんぢは我が子なり、われ今日なんぢを生めり』と。また『われ彼の父となり、彼わが子とならん』と。
For to which of the angels said he at any time, You are my Son, this day have I begotten you? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?
6 また初子を再び世に入れ給ふとき『神の凡ての使は之を拜すべし』と言ひ給ふ。
And again, when he brings in the first-begotten into the world, he says, And let all the angels of God worship him.
7 また御使たちに就きては『神は、その使たちを風となし、その事ふる者を焔となす』と言ひ給ふ。
And of the angels he says, Who makes his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.
But to the Son he says, Your throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a scepter of righteousness is the scepter of your kingdom. (aiōn g165)
9 なんぢは義を愛し、不法をにくむ。この故に神なんぢの神は歡喜の油を、汝の友に勝りて汝にそそぎ給へり』と。
You have loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows.
10 また『主よ、なんぢ太初に地の基を置きたまへり、天も御手の業なり。
And, You, Lord, in the beginning have laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of your hands:
11 これらは滅びん、されど汝は常に存へたまはん。これらはみな衣のごとく舊びん。
They shall perish; but you remain; and they all shall wax old as does a garment;
12 而して汝これらを袍のごとく疊み給はん、これらは衣のごとく變らん。されど汝はかはり給ふことなく汝の齡は終らざるなり』と言ひたまふ。
And as a clothing shall you fold them up, and they shall be changed: but you are the same, and your years shall not fail.
13 又いづれの御使に曾て斯くは言ひ給ひしぞ『われ汝の仇を汝の足臺となすまでは、我が右に坐せよ』と。
But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool?
14 御使はみな事へまつる靈にして、救を嗣がんとする者のために職を執るべく遣されたる者にあらずや。
Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?
