Hiperu 1
1 He maha nga wahi, he maha nga huarahi i korero ai te Atua i mua, ara nga poropiti, ki nga matua,
God, who at different times and in different ways spoke of old to the fathers by the prophets,
2 I enei ra whakamutunga na tana Tama ana korero ki a tatou, ko tana hoki tera i mea ai mana nga mea katoa, ko tana kaihanga hoki tera o nga ao; (aiōn g165)
hath at the end of these days spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, by whom he also made the worlds, (aiōn g165)
3 Ko ia te kanapatanga o tona kororia, te tino ahua o tona pumautanga, e whakau nei i nga mea katoa ki te kupu o tona kaha, ka oti i a ia ake ano te horoi o tatou hara, na noho ana ia i te ringa matau o te Nui i runga rawa;
who being a brightness from his glory and an image of his being, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself accomplished a cleansing of sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
4 A meinga ana ia kia pai ake i nga anahera, kia pera me te ingoa i riro i a ia he nui atu i to ratou.
having become so much superior to the angels, as he hath inherited a more excellent name than they.
5 Ki a wai hoki o nga anahera tana meatanga i mua, Ko koe taku Tama, nonaianei koe i whakatupuria ai e ahau? Me tenei ano, Ko ahau hei Matua ki a ia, ko ia hei Tama ki ahau?
For to which of the angels did he ever say: “Thou art my Son, I this day have begotten thee?” and again: “I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?”
6 I tana kawenga mai ano hoki i te whanau matamua ki te ao, ka mea ia, Kia koropiko nga anahera katoa a te Atua ki a ia.
And again, when he hath brought in the first-begotten into the world, he saith: “And let all the angels of God pay him homage.”
7 Ko tana kupu ia mo nga anahera, Meinga ana e ia ana anahera hei wairua, ana kaimahi hei mura ahi.
And of the angels he saith: “Who maketh his angels winds, and his ministers a flame of fire;”
8 Mo te Tama ia, i ki ia, Pumau tonu tou torona, e te Atua, ake, ake: a ko te hepeta o te tika te hepeta o tou kingitanga; (aiōn g165)
but of the Son: “Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever; and the sceptre of thy kingdom is a sceptre of righteousness. (aiōn g165)
9 I arohaina e koe te tika, i kinongia e koe te hara; no reira nui atu i to ou hoa te whakawahinga a te Atua, a tou Atua, i a koe ki te hinu o te hari.
Thou lovedst righteousness, and hatedst iniquity; therefore God, thy God, anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.”
10 Me tenei ano, Nau, e te Ariki, i te timatanga i whakatakoto te whenua; he mahi ano nga rangi na ou ringa:
And: “Thou, Lord, in the beginning didst found the earth, and the heavens are the works of thy hands.
11 Ko era e hemo atu, ko koe ia e mau tonu: ka tawhitotia katoatia hoki era me he kakahu:
They will perish, but thou remainest; and they will all become old as doth a garment,
12 Ka pokaitia e koe, ano he koheka, ka whakaputaia ketia: ko koe tonu ano ia koe, kahore hoki he mutunga o ou tau.
and thou wilt fold them up as a vesture, and they will be changed; but thou art the same, and thy years will not fail.”
13 Ki tehea hoki o nga anahera tana meatanga i mua, Hei toku ringa matau koe noho ai, kia meinga ra ano e ahau ou hoariri hei turanga waewae mou?
But to which of the angels hath he ever said: “Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool?”
14 He teka ianei he wairua kaimahi ratou katoa, he mea tonotono hei minita, he whakaaro ki te hunga mo ratou nei te ora?
Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for the sake of those who are to inherit salvation?
