ibriṇaḥ 1

1 purā ya īśvaro bhaviṣyadvādibhiḥ pitṛlokebhyo nānāsamaye nānāprakāraṁ kathitavān

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

2 sa etasmin śeṣakāle nijaputreṇāsmabhyaṁ kathitavān| sa taṁ putraṁ sarvvādhikāriṇaṁ kṛtavān tenaiva ca sarvvajaganti sṛṣṭavān| (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 sa putrastasya prabhāvasya pratibimbastasya tattvasya mūrttiścāsti svīyaśaktivākyena sarvvaṁ dhatte ca svaprāṇairasmākaṁ pāpamārjjanaṁ kṛtvā ūrddhvasthāne mahāmahimno dakṣiṇapārśve samupaviṣṭavān|

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 divyadūtagaṇād yathā sa viśiṣṭanāmno 'dhikārī jātastathā tebhyo'pi śreṣṭho jātaḥ|

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

5 yato dūtānāṁ madhye kadācidīśvareṇedaṁ ka uktaḥ? yathā, "madīyatanayo 'si tvam adyaiva janito mayā|" punaśca "ahaṁ tasya pitā bhaviṣyāmi sa ca mama putro bhaviṣyati|"

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 aparaṁ jagati svakīyādvitīyaputrasya punarānayanakāle tenoktaṁ, yathā, "īśvarasya sakalai rdūtaireṣa eva praṇamyatāṁ|"

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

7 dūtān adhi tenedam uktaṁ, yathā, "sa karoti nijān dūtān gandhavāhasvarūpakān| vahniśikhāsvarūpāṁśca karoti nijasevakān||"

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

8 kintu putramuddiśya tenoktaṁ, yathā, "he īśvara sadā sthāyi tava siṁhāsanaṁ bhavet| yāthārthyasya bhaveddaṇḍo rājadaṇḍastvadīyakaḥ| (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 puṇye prema karoṣi tvaṁ kiñcādharmmam ṛtīyase| tasmād ya īśa īśaste sa te mitragaṇādapi| adhikāhlādatailena secanaṁ kṛtavān tava||"

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

10 punaśca, yathā, "he prabho pṛthivīmūlam ādau saṁsthāpitaṁ tvayā| tathā tvadīyahastena kṛtaṁ gaganamaṇḍalaṁ|

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

11 ime vinaṁkṣyatastvantu nityamevāvatiṣṭhase| idantu sakalaṁ viśvaṁ saṁjariṣyati vastravat|

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

12 saṅkocitaṁ tvayā tattu vastravat parivartsyate| tvantu nityaṁ sa evāsī rnirantāstava vatsarāḥ||"

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 aparaṁ dūtānāṁ madhye kaḥ kadācidīśvareṇedamuktaḥ? yathā, "tavārīn pādapīṭhaṁ te yāvannahi karomyahaṁ| mama dakṣiṇadigbhāge tāvat tvaṁ samupāviśa||"

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 ye paritrāṇasyādhikāriṇo bhaviṣyanti teṣāṁ paricaryyārthaṁ preṣyamāṇāḥ sevanakāriṇa ātmānaḥ kiṁ te sarvve dūtā nahi?

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