1 Mmere a atwa mu no, na Onyankopɔn nam akwan ahorow bebree so fa adiyifo so kasa kyerɛ yɛn mpanyimfo no.
At sundry times and in diuers maners God spake in the olde time to our fathers by the Prophetes:
2 Mmom, mmere a edi akyiri no de, ɔnam ne Ba no so akasa akyerɛ yɛn. Ɔyɛ obi a Onyankopɔn nam ne so bɔɔ wiase. Na ɔno na Onyankopɔn ayi no sɛ awiei no, nneɛma nyinaa bɛyɛ ne de. (aiōn g165)
in these last dayes hee hath spoken vnto vs by his Sonne, Whom he hath made heire of al things, by whome also he made the worldes, (aiōn g165)
3 Ɔnam hyerɛn a Onyankopɔn anuonyam hyerɛn no so haran. Ɔyɛ Onyankopɔn sɛso pɛpɛɛpɛ, na ɔde nʼasɛm a tumi wɔ mu no so wiase mu. Ɔtew nnipa ho fii wɔn bɔne mu wiei no, ɔtenaa Otumfo Nyankopɔn nifa so wɔ ɔsoro.
Who being the brightnes of the glory, and the ingraued forme of his person, and bearing vp all things by his mightie worde, hath by himselfe purged our sinnes, and sitteth at the right hand of the Maiestie in the highest places,
4 Ɛno nti ɔyɛɛ ɔkɛse sen abɔfo no, efisɛ din a Onyankopɔn de too no no yɛ kɛse sen wɔn de no.
And is made so much more excellent then the Angels, in as much as hee hath obteined a more excellent Name then they.
5 Efisɛ Onyankopɔn nso anka ankyerɛ nʼabɔfo no mu biara se, “Woyɛ me Ba; nnɛ mayɛ wʼAgya.” Na wanka ankyerɛ ɔbɔfo biara se, “Mɛyɛ wʼAgya na woayɛ me Ba.”
For vnto which of the Angels saide he at any time, Thou art my Sonne, this day begate I thee? and againe, I will be his Father, and he shalbe my Sonne?
6 Bere a Onyankopɔn pɛɛ sɛ ɔsoma nʼabakan no ba wiase no, ɔsan kae se, “Ɛsɛ sɛ Onyankopɔn abɔfo nyinaa som no.”
And againe, when he bringeth in his first begotten Sonne into the worlde, hee saith, And let all the Angels of God worship him.
7 Asɛm a Onyankopɔn ka faa abɔfo no ho ne sɛ, “Onyankopɔn soma nʼabɔfo sɛ mframa, na ɔsoma nʼasomfo sɛ gyaframa.”
And of the Angels he saith, He maketh the spirites his messengers, and his ministers a flame of fire.
8 Nea ɛfa Ɔba no ho no, Onyankopɔn kae se, “Ao, Onyankopɔn, wʼahengua bɛtena hɔ daa nyinaa; wʼAhenni yɛ atɛntrenee. (aiōn g165)
But vnto the Sonne he saith, O God, thy throne is for euer and euer: the scepter of thy kingdome is a scepter of righteousnes. (aiōn g165)
9 Wodɔ trenee, na wukyi bɔne, ɛno nti Onyankopɔn, wo Nyankopɔn no, de wo asi wo mfɛfo so, na ɔde anigye ngo asra wo.”
Thou hast loued righteousnes and hated iniquitie. Wherefore God, eue thy God, hath anointed thee with the oyle of gladnes aboue thy fellowes.
10 Onyankopɔn san kae se, “Mfiase no wotoo asase fapem, na ɔsoro yɛ wo nsa ano adwuma.
And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast established the earth, and the heauens are the workes of thine handes.
11 Ne nyinaa betwa mu; na wo de, wobɛtena hɔ daa; wɔbɛtetew sɛ atade.
They shall perish, but thou doest remaine: and they all shall waxe olde as doeth a garment.
12 Wɔbɛbobɔw no sɛ ntama; na wɔbɛsesa no sɛ ntade. Nanso wote sɛnea wote, na wo mfe to rentwa da.”
And as a vesture shalt thou folde them vp, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy yeeres shall not faile.
13 Onyankopɔn anka ankyerɛ nʼabɔfo no se, “Montena me nifa so nkosi sɛ mede mo atamfo bɛyɛ mo anan ase ntiaso.”
Vnto which also of the Angels saide he at any time, Sit at my right hand, til I make thine enemies thy footestoole?
14 Sɛ saa a, na abɔfo no yɛ dɛn? Wɔn nyinaa yɛ ahonhom a wɔsom Onyankopɔn na ɔsoma wɔn ma wɔkɔboa wɔn a wɔrehwehwɛ nkwagye no.
Are they not al ministring spirits, sent forth to minister, for their sakes which shalbe heires of saluation?
