Hepelū 1
1 Ko e ʻOtua, ʻaia naʻe folofola ʻi muʻa ʻi he ngaahi kuonga kehekehe mo e ngaahi anga kehekehe ki he ngaahi tamai ʻi he kau palōfita,
In many places and in many ways, in past times, God spoke to the fathers through the Prophets;
2 Kuo ne folofola ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ki mui ni kiate kitautolu ʻi [hono ]ʻAlo, ʻaia kuo ne tuʻutuʻuni ke ʻaʻana ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē, ʻaia ne ne ngaohi ai foki ʻae ngaahi maama; (aiōn g165)
lastly, in these days, he has spoken to us through the Son, whom he appointed as the heir of all things, and through whom he made the world. (aiōn g165)
3 Ko e malama ia ʻo [hono ]nāunau, mo e tatau ʻaupito ʻo ʻene ʻafio, pea ʻoku ne poupou hake ʻae meʻa kotoa pē ʻaki ʻene folofola mālohi, pea kuo hili ʻene fai ʻe ia ʻae totongi ʻi heʻetau ngaahi angahala, pea nofo hifo ia ʻi he nima toʻomataʻu ʻoe Fungani Māʻolunga;
And since the Son is the brightness of his glory, and the figure of his substance, and is carrying all things by the Word of his virtue, thereby accomplishing a purging of sins, he sits at the right hand of Majesty on high.
4 Pea kuo māʻolunga lahi ʻaupito ia ʻi he kau ʻāngelo, koe meʻa ʻi heʻene maʻu totonu ʻae huafa lelei lahi ʻiate kinautolu.
And having been made so much better than the Angels, he has inherited a name so much greater than theirs.
5 He naʻe pehē ʻe ia ʻanefē ki ha ʻāngelo fē, “Ko hoku ʻAlo koe, kuo u fakatupu koe ʻi he ʻaho ni?” Pea toe pehē, “Te u hoko au ko e Tamai kiate ia, pea ʻe hoko ia ko e ʻAlo kiate au?”
For to which of the Angels has he ever said: “You are my Son; today have I begotten you?” Or again: “I will be a Father to him, and he shall be a Son to me?”
6 Pea ʻi he ʻomi ʻe ia ʻae ʻuluaki fakatupu ki māmani, naʻe toe pehē ʻe ia, “Ke hū kiate ia ʻae kau ʻāngelo kotoa pē ʻae ʻOtua.”
And again, when he brings the only-begotten Son into the world, he says: “And let all the Angels of God adore him.”
7 Pea ki he kau ʻāngelo ʻoku pehē ʻe ia, “ʻOku ne ngaohi ʻene kau ʻāngelo [ke hangē ]ko e matangi, mo ʻene kautauhi [ke hangē ]ko e ulo afi.”
And about the Angels, certainly, he says: “He makes his Angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.”
8 Ka ki he ʻAlo, [ʻoku ne pehē], “E ʻOtua, ko ho nofoʻanga ʻoku lauikuonga pea taʻengata: ko e tokotoko ʻo ho puleʻanga ko e tokotoko māʻoniʻoni ia. (aiōn g165)
But about the Son: “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever. The scepter of your kingdom is a scepter of equity. (aiōn g165)
9 Kuo ke ʻofa ki he māʻoniʻoni, pea fehiʻa ki he angahala; ko ia ko e ʻOtua, ko ho ʻOtua, kuo ne tākai ʻaki koe ʻae lolo ʻoe fiefia ʻo lahi hake ʻi ho kāinga.”
You have loved justice, and you have hated iniquity. Because of this, God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of exultation, above your companions.”
10 Pea, “Ko koe, ʻe ʻEiki, naʻa ke ʻai ʻi he kamataʻanga ʻae tuʻunga ʻo māmani; pea koe ngaahi langi ko e ngaue ia ʻa ho nima:
And: “In the beginning, O Lord, you founded the earth. And the heavens are the work of your hands.
11 E ʻauha ia; ka ʻe pehē ai pe ʻa koe; ʻe fakaʻaʻau ia kotoa pē ke motuʻa ʻo hangē ko e kofu;
These shall pass away, but you will remain. And all will grow old like a garment.
12 Pea hangē ko e pulupulu te ke takatakai ia, pea ʻe fakakehe ia: ka ʻe pehē ai pe ʻa koe, pea ʻe ʻikai ngata ʻa ho ngaahi taʻu.”
And you will change them like a cloak, and they shall be changed. Yet you are ever the same, and your years will not diminish.”
13 Ka naʻe pehē ʻe ia ʻanefē ki ha ʻāngelo fē, “Nofo koe ʻi hoku nima toʻomataʻu, kaeʻoua ke u ngaohi ho ngaahi fili ko ho tuʻunga vaʻe?”
But to which of the Angels has he ever said: “Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool?”
14 ʻIkai ko e kau laumālie tauhi pe ʻakinautolu kotoa pē, ʻoku fekaua ke tauhiʻi ʻakinautolu ʻe maʻu ʻae fakamoʻui;
Are they not all spirits of ministration, sent to minister for the sake of those who shall receive the inheritance of salvation?
