< Hebreos 1 >
1 En tiempos pasados la palabra de Dios vino a nuestros padres por medio de los profetas, en diferentes partes y de diferentes maneras;
Long ago God communicated frequently to our ancestors in various ways by what the prophets [said and wrote].
2 Pero ahora, al final de estos días, nos ha llegado a través de su Hijo, a quien ha dado todas las cosas por herencia, y por medio de quien hizo el universo; (aiōn )
But now when this final age [is beginning], God has communicated to us [just once] by means of what (his Son/the man who was also God) [said and did. God] appointed him in order that he would possess everything [that truly belongs to God. God also appointed] him in order that he would create the universe. (aiōn )
3 Quien, siendo el resplandor de su gloria, la verdadera imagen de su sustancia, apoyando todas las cosas por la palabra de su poder, habiéndose entregado a sí mismo como una ofrenda para libertad de nuestros pecados, se sentó a la diestra de Dios en el cielo;
He manifests God’s glory. He exactly represents [what God is like]. He (sustains everything by means of his powerful words. When he had [enabled people to be] freed from the [guilt of] their sins [MET], he sat down in heaven [EUP] [to rule] at the place of greatest honor [MTY] with God [MTY].
4 Convertido en superior que los ángeles, y que por herencia obtuvo nombre más excelente que el de ellos.
By doing that, he [showed that he] was very much greater than the angels, to the extent that his relationship [MTY] [to God, as his Son], is more excellent than the relationship the angels [have to God].
5 ¿A cuál de los ángeles dijo Dios en algún momento, Tú eres mi Hijo, hoy te he engendrado? o, seré su padre, y él será mi hijo?
[We know that] because [in the Scriptures] no one [RHQ] ever reported that God said to any angel [what he said to his Son], You [(sg)] are my Son! Today I have declared to all that I am your Father [DOU]! And he said in another Scripture passage, I will be his Father, and he will be my Son [DOU].
6 Y nuevamente, cuando está enviando a su único Hijo al mundo, él dice: Dejen que todos los ángeles de Dios le den culto.
And [we know his Son is greater than the angels because in] another [Scripture passage someone wrote this about God’s esteemed Son], when God was about to send him into the world: All God’s angels must worship him.
7 Y de los ángeles dice: El hace que sus ángeles, sean como vientos y sus siervos como llamas de fuego.
[And in the Scriptures it is written that] someone said this about the angels: [God] makes the [angels] who serve him [to be changeable like] [MET] winds and flames of fire.
8 Mas del Hijo dice: Tu asiento de poder, oh Dios, por los siglos de los siglos; y la vara de tu reino es vara de justicia. (aiōn )
But on the other hand, [in the Scriptures it is written that God said] this to his Son: You [(sg)] who are [also] God will rule forever [MTY], and you will reign righteously over your kingdom [MTY]. (aiōn )
9 Has sido un amante de la justicia y un enemigo del mal; y así Dios, tu Dios, ha puesto el aceite de alegría en tu cabeza más que en la cabeza de aquellos que están contigo.
You have loved [people’s] righteous [deeds] and you have hated [people’s] lawless [deeds]. So I, your God, have caused you to be more joyful [MTY] than anyone else.
10 Tú, Señor, al principio pusiste la tierra sobre su base, y los cielos son obra de tus manos:
And [we also know that his Son is superior to angels because in the Scriptures the Psalmist wrote that] someone said to God’s Son, Lord, it was you who created the earth in the beginning. You also made [the rest of] the universe (OR, the [things in] the sky) [MTY].
11 Ellos llegarán a su fin; pero eres para siempre; envejecerán como una túnica;
Everything in the universe will disappear, but you will keep on living [forever]. They will wear out as clothing [wears out].
12 Ellos serán enrollados como un paño, como un manto, y serán cambiados; pero tú eres el mismo y tus años no tendrán fin.
You will dispose of them as one rolls up an [old] coat [before getting rid of it]. [Then], you will exchange [everything that is in the universe for what is new], as someone puts on a new garment [in exchange for an old garment] [SIM]. But you [are not like what you created]; You stay the same, and you live forever [LIT]!
13 Pero, ¿de cuál de los ángeles ha dicho en algún momento: Toma asiento a mi derecha hasta que ponga a todos los que están contra ti bajo tus pies?
[We also know that his Son is superior to angels because no one ever stated] [RHQ] [in the Scriptures] that God said to any angel [what he said to his Son], Sit [in the place of honor] next to me and rule with me [MTY] while I put all of your enemies completely under your control [MET]!
14 ¿No son todos espíritus ayudadores, que son enviados como siervos a aquellos cuya herencia será la salvación?
The angels are [only] spirits who serve [God] [RHQ]. [God] sends them [to earth] in order to help those he has saved (OR, those whom he will save).
