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, of old, at many times and in many ways, spoke to our ancestors, by the prophets,
has in these latter days spoken to us by the Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe. (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。
For he is the radiance of the glory of God and the expression of his being, upholding all creation by the power of his word; and, when he had made an expiation for the sins of humanity, he took his seat at the right hand of God’s 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。
having shown himself as much greater than the angels as the name that he has inherited surpasses theirs.
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 did God ever say – ‘You are my Son; this day I have become your Father’? or again – ‘I will be to him a Father, and he will 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 God brought the firstborn into the world, he said – ‘Let all the angels of God bow down before 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。
Speaking of the angels, he said – ‘He makes the winds his angels and the flames of fire his servants’;
while of the Son he said – ‘God is your throne for ever and ever; the scepter of his kingdom is the scepter of Justice; (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 love righteousness and hates iniquity; therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the festal oil more abundantly than your peers.’
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。
Again – ‘You, Lord, in the beginning did lay the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are the work 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 will perish, but you remain; as a garment they will all grow old;
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。
As a mantle you will fold them up, and as a garment they will be changed, but you are the same, and your years will know no end.’
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。
To which of the angels has God ever said – ‘Sit you at my right hand until I put your enemies as a stool for your feet’?
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 not all the angels spirits in the service of God, sent out to minister for the sake of those who are destined to obtain salvation?
