İbraniler 1

1 Tanrı eski zamanlarda peygamberler aracılığıyla birçok kez çeşitli yollardan atalarımıza seslendi.

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

2 Bu son çağda da her şeye mirasçı kıldığı ve aracılığıyla evreni yarattığı kendi Oğlu'yla bize seslenmiştir. (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 Oğul, Tanrı yüceliğinin parıltısı, O'nun varlığının öz görünümüdür. Güçlü sözüyle her şeyi devam ettirir. Günahlardan arınmayı sağladıktan sonra, yücelerde ulu Tanrı'nın sağında oturdu.

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 Meleklerden ne denli üstün bir adı miras aldıysa, onlardan o denli üstün oldu.

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 Çünkü Tanrı meleklerin herhangi birine, “Sen benim Oğlum'sun, Bugün ben sana Baba oldum” Ya da, “Ben O'na Baba olacağım, O da bana Oğul olacak” demiş midir?

[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 Yine Tanrı ilk doğanı dünyaya gönderirken diyor ki, “Tanrı'nın bütün melekleri O'na tapınsın.”

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 Melekler için, “Kendi meleklerini rüzgar, Hizmetkârlarını ateş alevi yapar” diyor.

[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 Ama Oğul için şöyle diyor: “Ey Tanrı, tahtın sonsuzluklar boyunca kalıcıdır, Egemenliğinin asası adalet asasıdır. (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 Doğruluğu sevdin, kötülükten nefret ettin. Bunun için Tanrı, senin Tanrın, Seni sevinç yağıyla Arkadaşlarından daha çok meshetti.”

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 Yine diyor ki, “Ya Rab, başlangıçta Dünyanın temellerini sen attın. Gökler de senin ellerinin yapıtıdır.

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 Onlar yok olacak, ama sen kalıcısın. Hepsi bir giysi gibi eskiyecek.

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

12 Bir kaftan gibi düreceksin onları, Bir giysi gibi değiştirilecekler. Ama sen hep aynısın, Yılların tükenmeyecek.”

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 Tanrı meleklerin herhangi birine, “Ben düşmanlarını Ayaklarının altına serinceye dek, Sağımda otur” demiş midir?

[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 Bütün melekler kurtuluşu miras alacaklara hizmet etmek için gönderilen görevli ruhlar değil midir?

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).
