Hebræos 1
1 Multifariam, multisque modis olim Deus loquens patribus in prophetis:
In many parts and many ways, God, having spoken long ago to the fathers by the prophets,
2 novissime, diebus istis locutus est nobis in Filio, quem constituit hæredem universorum, per quem fecit et sæcula: (aiōn g165)
in these last days speaks to us in [His] Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom He also made the ages; (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 brightness of the glory, and the impress of His subsistence, bearing up also all things by the saying of His might—having made a cleansing of our sins through Himself, sat down at the right hand of the Greatness in the highest,
4 tanto melior angelis effectus, quanto differentius præ illis nomen hæreditavit.
having become so much better than the messengers, as He inherited a more excellent name than them.
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 to which of the messengers did He ever say, “You are My Son—today I have begotten You?” And again, “I will be to Him for a Father, and He will be to Me for a Son?”
6 Et cum iterum introducit primogenitum in orbem terræ, dicit: Et adorent eum omnes angeli Dei.
And when again He may bring the firstborn into the world, He says, “And let them worship Him—all messengers of God”;
7 Et ad angelos quidem dicit: Qui facit angelos suos spiritus, et ministros suos flammam ignis.
and to the messengers, indeed, He says, “The [One] who is making His messengers spirits, 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 to the Son: “Your throne, O God, [is] throughout the age of the age; The scepter of righteousness [is the] scepter of Your kingdom; (aiōn g165)
9 Dilexisti justitiam, et odisti iniquitatem: propterea unxit te Deus, Deus tuus, oleo exultationis præ participibus tuis.
You loved righteousness, and hated lawlessness; Because of this He anointed You—God, Your God—With oil of gladness above Your partners”;
10 Et: Tu in principio, Domine, terram fundasti: et opera manuum tuarum sunt cæli.
and, “You, LORD, founded the earth at the beginning, And the heavens are a work of Your hands.
11 Ipsi peribunt, tu autem permanebis, et omnes ut vestimentum veterascent:
These will perish, but You remain, And all will become old as a garment,
12 et velut amictum mutabis eos, et mutabuntur: tu autem idem ipse es, et anni tui non deficient.
And You will roll them together as a mantle, and they will be changed, But You are the same, and Your years will not fail.”
13 Ad quem autem angelorum dixit aliquando: Sede a dextris meis, quoadusque ponam inimicos tuos scabellum pedum tuorum?
And to which of the messengers did He ever say, “Sit at My right hand, Until I may make Your enemies Your footstool?”
14 Nonne omnes sunt administratorii spiritus, in ministerium missi propter eos, qui hæreditatem capient salutis?
Are they not all spirits of service—being sent forth for ministry because of those about to inherit salvation?
