Mga Hebreo 1
1 Noon unang panahon, nakipag-usap ang Diyos sa ating mga ninuno sa pamamagitan ng mga propeta ng maraming beses at sa iba't-ibang paraan.
Long ago God communicated frequently to our ancestors in various ways by what the prophets [said and wrote].
2 Ngunit sa mga araw na ito, nakikipag-usap ang Diyos sa atin sa pamamagitan ng Anak na siyang hinirang na tagapagmana ng lahat ng bagay, at sa pamamagitan niya ginawa ang mundo. (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 Ang kaniyang Anak ang ningning ng kaniyang kaluwalhatian, ang totoong katangian ng kaniyang diwa, at pinapanatili niya ang lahat sa pamamagitan ng salita ng kaniyang kapangyarihan. Pagkatapos niyang nakamit ang paglilinis ng mga kasalanan, umupo siya sa kanang kamay ng kataas-taasang kamahalan.
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 Siya ay naging higit na mataas sa mga anghel, sapagkat ang pangalan na kaniyang minana ay mas mahusay kaysa sa kanilang pangalan.
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 Sapagkat sino sa mga anghel ang pinagsabihan niya kailanman ng, “Ikaw ay aking anak, ngayon ako ay naging iyong ama?” At muli, “Ako'y magiging ama sa kaniya, at siya ay magiging anak sa akin”?
[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 Muli, nang isinugo ng Diyos ang panganay sa mundo, sinasabi niya, “Lahat ng anghel ng Diyos ay kinakailangang sumamba sa kaniya.”
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 Tungkol sa mga anghel sinasabi niya, “Siya na ginagawang mga anghel niya na mga espiritu at ang kaniyang mga lingkod na mga lagablab ng apoy.”
[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 Ngunit tungkol sa Anak sinasabi niya, “Ang iyong trono, O Diyos, ay walang hanggan. Ang setro ng iyong kaharian ay setro ng katarungan. (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 Minahal mo ang katuwiran at kinasusuklaman ang kawalan ng pagsunod sa batas, kaya ang Diyos, na iyong Diyos ay nagbuhos sa iyo ng langis ng kagalakan nang higit sa iyong mga kasamahan.
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 Noong simula, O Panginoon, inilagay mo ang pundasyon ng mundo. Ang kalangitan ay gawa ng iyong mga kamay.
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 Ang mga ito ay mawawala, ngunit ikaw ay magpapatuloy. Silang lahat ay maluluma na parang kasuotan.
Everything in the universe will disappear, but you will keep on living [forever]. They will wear out as clothing [wears out].
12 liligpitin mo sila katulad ng isang balabal, at mapapalitan sila katulad ng isang kasuotan. Ngunit ikaw ay mananatili ikaw at ang iyong mga taon ay hindi titigil.”
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 Ngunit wala isa man sa mga anghel ang kaniyang pinagsabihan ng nito kahit kailan, “Maupo ka sa aking kanang kamay hanggang ang iyong mga kaaway ay gawin kong tuntungan ng iyong mga paa”?
[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 Hindi ba't ang lahat ng mga anghel ay espiritu na ipinadala upang maglingkod at pangalagaan ang mga taong magmamana ng kaligtasan?”
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).
