Hebreerbrevet 1

1 Sedan Gud fordom många gånger och på många sätt hade talat till fäderna genom profeterna,

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

2 har han nu, på det yttersta av denna tid, talat till oss genom sin Son, som han har insatt till arvinge av allt, genom vilken han ock har skapat världen. (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 Och eftersom denne är hans härlighets återsken och hans väsens avbild och genom sin makts ord bär allt, har han -- sedan han hade utfört en rening från synderna -- satt sig på Majestätets högra sida i höjden.

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 Och han har blivit så mycket större än änglarna som det namn han har ärvt är förmer än deras.

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 vilken av änglarna har han någonsin sagt: "Du är min Son, jag har i dag fött dig"? eller: "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 Likaså säger han, med tanke på den tid då han åter skall låta den förstfödde inträda i världen: "Och alla 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 Och medan han om änglarna säger: "Han gör sina änglar till vindar och sina tjänare till eldslågor",

[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 säger han om Sonen: "Gud, din tron förbliver alltid och evinnerligen, och rättvisans spira är ditt rikes 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 har älskat rättfärdighet och hatat orättfärdighet; därför, o Gud, har din Gud smort dig med glädjens olja 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 så ock: "Du, Herre, lade i begynnelsen jordens grund, 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 förbliver; de skola alla nötas ut såsom en klädnad,

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 mantel skall du hoprulla dem; såsom en klädnad skola de ock bytas om. Men du är densamme, och dina år skola icke hava någon ände."

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 Och till vilken av änglarna har han någonsin sagt: "Sätt dig på min högra sida, till dess jag har lagt dina fiender 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 allasammans tjänsteandar, som sändas ut till tjänst för deras skull som skola få frälsning till arvedel?

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).
