< 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 various ways, spake of old unto the fathers by the prophets, hath in these last days spoken to us by his Son,
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 )
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 refulgence of his glory and the imprest image of his person, and sustaining all things by his powerful word, having by Himself performed the purging away of our sins, 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.
Being as much superior to the angels, as He inheriteth a name more excellent 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 to which of the angels did He ever say, "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 when He again introduceth the First-born 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 as to 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 to the Son, "Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever; the sceptre of thy kingdom is a sceptre of righteousness: (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 lovest righteousness and hatest iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thine associates."
10 Onyankopɔn san kae se, “Mfiase no wotoo asase fapem, na ɔsoro yɛ wo nsa ano adwuma.
And in another place, "Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast founded the earth, and the heavens are the works of thy hands:
11 Ne nyinaa betwa mu; na wo de, wobɛtena hɔ daa; wɔbɛtetew sɛ atade.
they shall perish, but thou remainest; and they shall all grow old as 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 mantle wilt 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 hath He ever said, "Sit thou at my right hand, till 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 ministring spirits, sent forth to attend on those who shall be heirs of salvation?
