Hebræos 1

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

At sundry times and in diuers maners God spake in the olde time to our fathers by the Prophetes:

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

in these last dayes hee hath spoken vnto vs by his Sonne, Whom he hath made heire of al things, by whome also he made the worldes, (aiōn g165)

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

Who being the brightnes of the glory, and the ingraued forme of his person, and bearing vp all things by his mightie worde, hath by himselfe purged our sinnes, and sitteth at the right hand of the Maiestie in the highest places,

4 tanto melior Angelis effectus, quanto differentius præ illis nomen hereditavit.

And is made so much more excellent then the Angels, in as much as hee hath obteined a more excellent Name then 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 vnto which of the Angels saide he at any time, Thou art my Sonne, this day begate I thee? and againe, I will be his Father, and he shalbe my Sonne?

6 Et cum iterum introducit primogenitum in orbem terræ, dicit: Et adorent eum omnes Angeli Dei.

And againe, when he bringeth in his first begotten Sonne into the worlde, hee 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, He maketh the spirites his messengers, 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 vnto the Sonne he saith, O God, thy throne is for euer and euer: the scepter of thy kingdome is a scepter of righteousnes. (aiōn g165)

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

Thou hast loued righteousnes and hated iniquitie. Wherefore God, eue thy God, hath anointed thee with the oyle of gladnes aboue thy fellowes.

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

And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast established the earth, and the heauens are the workes of thine handes.

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

They shall perish, but thou doest remaine: and they all shall waxe olde as doeth a garment.

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

And as a vesture shalt thou folde them vp, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy yeeres shall not faile.

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

Vnto which also of the Angels saide he at any time, Sit at my right hand, til I make thine enemies thy footestoole?

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

Are they not al ministring spirits, sent forth to minister, for their sakes which shalbe heires of saluation?
