< इब्रिणः 1 >
1 पुरा य ईश्वरो भविष्यद्वादिभिः पितृलोकेभ्यो नानासमये नानाप्रकारं कथितवान्
God, having in the past spoken to the fathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways,
2 स एतस्मिन् शेषकाले निजपुत्रेणास्मभ्यं कथितवान्। स तं पुत्रं सर्व्वाधिकारिणं कृतवान् तेनैव च सर्व्वजगन्ति सृष्टवान्। (aiōn )
has at the end of these days spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the worlds. (aiōn )
3 स पुत्रस्तस्य प्रभावस्य प्रतिबिम्बस्तस्य तत्त्वस्य मूर्त्तिश्चास्ति स्वीयशक्तिवाक्येन सर्व्वं धत्ते च स्वप्राणैरस्माकं पापमार्ज्जनं कृत्वा ऊर्द्ध्वस्थाने महामहिम्नो दक्षिणपार्श्वे समुपविष्टवान्।
His Son is the radiance of his glory, the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, who, when he had by himself purified us of our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high,
4 दिव्यदूतगणाद् यथा स विशिष्टनाम्नो ऽधिकारी जातस्तथा तेभ्योऽपि श्रेष्ठो जातः।
having become as much better than the angels as the more excellent name he has inherited is better than theirs.
5 यतो दूतानां मध्ये कदाचिदीश्वरेणेदं क उक्तः? यथा, "मदीयतनयो ऽसि त्वम् अद्यैव जनितो मया।" पुनश्च "अहं तस्य पिता भविष्यामि स च मम पुत्रो भविष्यति।"
For to which of the angels did he say at any time, “You are my Son. Today I have become your father?” and again, “I will be to him a Father, and he will be to me a Son?”
6 अपरं जगति स्वकीयाद्वितीयपुत्रस्य पुनरानयनकाले तेनोक्तं, यथा, "ईश्वरस्य सकलै र्दूतैरेष एव प्रणम्यतां।"
When he again brings in the firstborn into the world he says, “Let all the angels of God worship him.”
7 दूतान् अधि तेनेदम् उक्तं, यथा, "स करोति निजान् दूतान् गन्धवाहस्वरूपकान्। वह्निशिखास्वरूपांश्च करोति निजसेवकान्॥"
Of the angels he says, “He makes his angels winds, and his servants a flame of fire.”
8 किन्तु पुत्रमुद्दिश्य तेनोक्तं, यथा, "हे ईश्वर सदा स्थायि तव सिंहासनं भवेत्। याथार्थ्यस्य भवेद्दण्डो राजदण्डस्त्वदीयकः। (aiōn )
But of the Son he says, “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever. The sceptre of uprightness is the sceptre of your Kingdom. (aiōn )
9 पुण्ये प्रेम करोषि त्वं किञ्चाधर्म्मम् ऋतीयसे। तस्माद् य ईश ईशस्ते स ते मित्रगणादपि। अधिकाह्लादतैलेन सेचनं कृतवान् तव॥"
You have loved righteousness and hated iniquity; therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows.”
10 पुनश्च, यथा, "हे प्रभो पृथिवीमूलम् आदौ संस्थापितं त्वया। तथा त्वदीयहस्तेन कृतं गगनमण्डलं।
And, “You, Lord, in the beginning, laid the foundation of the earth. The heavens are the works of your hands.
11 इमे विनंक्ष्यतस्त्वन्तु नित्यमेवावतिष्ठसे। इदन्तु सकलं विश्वं संजरिष्यति वस्त्रवत्।
They will perish, but you continue. They all will grow old like a garment does.
12 सङ्कोचितं त्वया तत्तु वस्त्रवत् परिवर्त्स्यते। त्वन्तु नित्यं स एवासी र्निरन्तास्तव वत्सराः॥"
You will roll them up like a mantle, and they will be changed; but you are the same. Your years won’t fail.”
13 अपरं दूतानां मध्ये कः कदाचिदीश्वरेणेदमुक्तः? यथा, "तवारीन् पादपीठं ते यावन्नहि करोम्यहं। मम दक्षिणदिग्भागे तावत् त्वं समुपाविश॥"
But which of the angels has he told at any time, “Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies the footstool of your feet?”
14 ये परित्राणस्याधिकारिणो भविष्यन्ति तेषां परिचर्य्यार्थं प्रेष्यमाणाः सेवनकारिण आत्मानः किं ते सर्व्वे दूता नहि?
Aren’t they all serving spirits, sent out to do service for the sake of those who will inherit salvation?
