< Hebrifo 1 >
1 Mmere a atwa mu no, na Onyankopɔn nam akwan ahorow bebree so fa adiyifo so kasa kyerɛ yɛn mpanyimfo no.
Long ago God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets at many times and in many ways.
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 )
But in these last days, he has spoken to us through a Son, whom he appointed to be the heir of all things. It is through him that God also made the universe. (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.
He is the brightness of God's glory, the exact representation of his being. He even holds everything together by the word of his power. After he had made cleansing for sins, he sat down at 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.
He has become just as superior to the angels as the name he has inherited is more excellent than their name.
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 to which of the angels did God ever say, “You are my son, today I have become your father”? Or to which of the angels did God ever say, “I will be a father to him, and he will be a son to me”?
6 Bere a Onyankopɔn pɛɛ sɛ ɔsoma nʼabakan no ba wiase no, ɔsan kae se, “Ɛsɛ sɛ Onyankopɔn abɔfo nyinaa som no.”
But again, when God brings the firstborn into the world, he says, “All God's angels must worship him.”
7 Asɛm a Onyankopɔn ka faa abɔfo no ho ne sɛ, “Onyankopɔn soma nʼabɔfo sɛ mframa, na ɔsoma nʼasomfo sɛ gyaframa.”
About the angels he says, “He is the one who makes his angels spirits, and his servants flames of fire.”
8 Nea ɛfa Ɔba no ho no, Onyankopɔn kae se, “Ao, Onyankopɔn, wʼahengua bɛtena hɔ daa nyinaa; wʼAhenni yɛ atɛntrenee. (aiōn )
But to the Son he says, “Your throne, God, is forever and ever. The scepter of your kingdom is the scepter of justice. (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.”
You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness. Therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of joy more than your companions.”
10 Onyankopɔn san kae se, “Mfiase no wotoo asase fapem, na ɔsoro yɛ wo nsa ano adwuma.
“In the beginning, Lord, you laid the earth's foundation. The heavens are the work of your hands.
11 Ne nyinaa betwa mu; na wo de, wobɛtena hɔ daa; wɔbɛtetew sɛ atade.
They will perish, but you will continue. They will all wear out like a piece of clothing.
12 Wɔbɛbobɔw no sɛ ntama; na wɔbɛsesa no sɛ ntade. Nanso wote sɛnea wote, na wo mfe to rentwa da.”
You will roll them up like a cloak, and they will be changed like a piece of clothing. But you are the same, and your years do not end.”
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 has God said at any time, “Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a stool for your feet”?
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 not all angels spirits who serve, and who are sent to care for those who will inherit salvation?
