Hebræos 1

1 Multifariam, multisque modis olim Deus loquens patribus in prophetis:

God, having of old time spoken unto the fathers in the prophets by divers portions and in divers manners,

2 novissime, diebus istis locutus est nobis in Filio, quem constituit hæredem universorum, per quem fecit et sæcula: (aiōn g165)

hath at the end of these days spoken unto us in [his] Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the worlds; (aiōn g165)

3 qui cum sit splendor gloriæ, et figura substantiæ ejus, portansque omnia verbo virtutis suæ, purgationem peccatorum faciens, sedet ad dexteram majestatis in excelsis:

who being the effulgence of his glory, and the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had made purification of sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;

4 tanto melior angelis effectus, quanto differentius præ illis nomen hæreditavit.

having become by so much better than the angels, as he hath inherited a more excellent name than they.

5 Cui enim dixit aliquando angelorum: Filius meus es tu, ego hodie genui te? Et rursum: Ego ero illi in patrem, et ipse erit mihi in filium?

For unto which of the angels said he at any time, 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 Et cum iterum introducit primogenitum in orbem terræ, dicit: Et adorent eum omnes angeli Dei.

And when he again bringeth in the firstborn into the world he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.

7 Et ad angelos quidem dicit: Qui facit angelos suos spiritus, et ministros suos flammam ignis.

And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels winds, And his ministers a flame of fire:

8 Ad Filium autem: Thronus tuus Deus in sæculum sæculi: virga æquitatis, virga regni tui. (aiōn g165)

but of the Son [he saith], Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever; And the sceptre of uprightness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. (aiōn g165)

9 Dilexisti justitiam, et odisti iniquitatem: propterea unxit te Deus, Deus tuus, oleo exultationis præ participibus tuis.

Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; Therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee With the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

10 Et: Tu in principio, Domine, terram fundasti: et opera manuum tuarum sunt cæli.

And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth, And the heavens are the works of thy hands:

11 Ipsi peribunt, tu autem permanebis, et omnes ut vestimentum veterascent:

They shall perish; but thou continuest: And they all shall wax old as doth a garment;

12 et velut amictum mutabis eos, et mutabuntur: tu autem idem ipse es, et anni tui non deficient.

And as a mantle shalt thou roll them up, As a garment, and they shall be changed: But thou art the same, And thy years shall not fail.

13 Ad quem autem angelorum dixit aliquando: Sede a dextris meis, quoadusque ponam inimicos tuos scabellum pedum tuorum?

But of which of the angels hath he said at any time, Sit thou on my right hand, Till I make thine enemies the footstool of thy feet?

14 Nonne omnes sunt administratorii spiritus, in ministerium missi propter eos, qui hæreditatem capient salutis?

Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to do service for the sake of them that shall inherit salvation?
