< Hebrifo 1 >
1 Mmere a atwa mu no, na Onyankopɔn nam akwan ahorow bebree so fa adiyifo so kasa kyerɛ yɛn mpanyimfo no.
God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
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 )
Hath in these last days spoken unto us by [his] Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; (aiōn )
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 brightness of [his] glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
4 Ɛno nti ɔyɛɛ ɔkɛse sen abɔfo no, efisɛ din a Onyankopɔn de too no no yɛ kɛse sen wɔn de no.
Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than 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 unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?
6 Bere a Onyankopɔn pɛɛ sɛ ɔsoma nʼabakan no ba wiase no, ɔsan kae se, “Ɛsɛ sɛ Onyankopɔn abɔfo nyinaa som no.”
And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he 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, Who maketh his angels spirits, 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 )
But unto the Son [he saith], Thy throne, O God, [is] for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness [is] the sceptre of thy kingdom. (aiōn )
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 loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, [even] thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
10 Onyankopɔn san kae se, “Mfiase no wotoo asase fapem, na ɔsoro yɛ wo nsa ano adwuma.
And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands:
11 Ne nyinaa betwa mu; na wo de, wobɛtena hɔ daa; wɔbɛtetew sɛ atade.
They shall perish; but thou remainest; and they all shall wax old as doth 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 fold them up, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail.
13 Onyankopɔn anka ankyerɛ nʼabɔfo no se, “Montena me nifa so nkosi sɛ mede mo atamfo bɛyɛ mo anan ase ntiaso.”
But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool?
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 all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?
