Hebreerbrevet 1

1 Fordom talade Gud ofta, och i mångahanda måtto, till fäderna, genom Propheterna;

Long ago God communicated frequently to our ancestors in various ways by what the prophets [said and wrote].

2 På det yttersta i dessa dagar hafver han talat till oss genom Sonen; hvilken han satt hafver till arfvinga öfver all ting; genom hvilken han ock verldena gjort hafver; (aiōn g165)

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 g165)

3 Hvilken, efter han är hans härlighets sken, och hans väsendes rätta beläte, och bär all ting med sitt kraftiga ord, och hafver rensat våra synder genom sig sjelf, sitter han på majestätsens högra sido i höjdene;

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 Så mycket bättre vorden än Änglarne, som han för dem högre Namn ärft hafver.

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 Ty till hvilken af Änglarna hafver han någon tid sagt: Du äst min Son, i dag hafver jag födt dig? Och åter: Jag skall vara hans Fader, och han skall vara min Son?

[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 Och åter, då han införer den förstfödda i verldena, säger han: Och alle Guds Änglar skola tillbedja honom.

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 Men om Änglarna säger han: Han gör sina Änglar andar, och sina tjenare eldslåga.

[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 Men till Sonen: Gud, din stol varar ifrån evighet till evighet; dins rikes spira är en rättvis spira. (aiōn g165)

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 g165)

9 Du hafver älskat rättfärdighetena, och hatat orättfärdighetena; derföre hafver Gud, din Gud smort dig med glädjens oljo, mer än dina medbröder.

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 Och du, Herre, grundade jordena af begynnelsen, och himlarna äro dina händers verk.

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 De skola förgås; men du skall blifva, och de skola alle föråldras såsom ett kläde;

Everything in the universe will disappear, but you will keep on living [forever]. They will wear out as clothing [wears out].

12 Och såsom en klädnad skall du förvandla dem, och de varda förvandlade; men du blifver densamme, och din år hafva ingen ända.

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 Men till hvilken af Änglarna hafver han någon tid sagt: Sätt dig på mina högra hand, tilldess jag lägger dina fiendar dig till en fotapall?

[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 Äro de icke allesammans tjensteandar, utsände till tjenst för deras skull, som salighetena ärfva skola?

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).
