Hebrifoɔ 1
1 Mmerɛ a atwam no, na Onyankopɔn nam akwan ahodoɔ bebree so fa adiyifoɔ so kasa kyerɛ yɛn mpanimfoɔ.
At sundry times and in diuers maners God spake in the olde time to our fathers by the Prophetes:
2 Nanso, mmerɛ a ɛdi akyire no deɛ, ɔnam ne Ba no so akasa akyerɛ yɛn. Ɔno na Onyankopɔn nam ne so bɔɔ ewiase. Na ɔno na Onyankopɔn ayi no sɛ awieeɛ no, nneɛma nyinaa bɛyɛ ne dea. (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 animuonyam hyerɛn no so hran. Ɔyɛ Onyankopɔn sɛso pɛpɛɛpɛ, na ɔde nʼasɛm a tumi wɔ mu no sɔ ewiase mu. Ɔtee nnipa ho firii wɔn bɔne mu wieeɛ no, ɔtenaa Otumfoɔ Onyankopɔn 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 enti, ɔyɛɛ kɛse sene abɔfoɔ no, ɛfiri sɛ, edin a Onyankopɔn de too no no yɛ kɛse sene wɔn deɛ 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 Ɛfiri sɛ, Onyankopɔn nso anka ankyerɛ nʼabɔfoɔ no mu biara sɛ, “Woyɛ me Ba; na ɛnnɛ, mayɛ wʼAgya.” Ɛnna wanka ankyerɛ ɔbɔfoɔ biara sɛ, “Mɛyɛ wʼAgya na wayɛ 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 Ɛberɛ a Onyankopɔn pɛɛ sɛ ɔsoma nʼabakan no ba ewiase no, ɔsane kaa sɛ, “Ɛsɛ sɛ Onyankopɔn abɔfoɔ 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 abɔfoɔ no ho ne sɛ, “Onyankopɔn soma nʼabɔfoɔ sɛ mframa, na ɔsoma nʼasomfoɔ sɛ gyadɛreeɛ.”
And of the Angels he saith, He maketh the spirites his messengers, and his ministers a flame of fire.
8 Na ɛfa Ɔba no ho no, Onyankopɔn kaa sɛ, “Ao, Onyankopɔn, wʼahennwa bɛtena hɔ daa nyinaa; wʼAhennie yɛ atɛntenenee. (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 tenenee, na wokyiri bɔne, ɛno enti, Onyankopɔn wo Onyankopɔn de wo asi wo mfɛfoɔ so, na ɔde anigyeɛ 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 sane kaa sɛ, “Mfitiaseɛ 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 bɛtwam na wo deɛ wobɛtena hɔ daa; wɔbɛtete sɛ atadeɛ.
They shall perish, but thou doest remaine: and they all shall waxe olde as doeth a garment.
12 Wɔbɛbobɔ no sɛ ntoma; na wɔbɛsesa no sɛ ntadeɛ. Nanso, wote sɛdeɛ woteɛ, na wo mfeɛ 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 nʼabɔfoɔ no sɛ, “Montena me nifa so kɔsi sɛ mede mo atamfoɔ bɛyɛ mo nan ntiasoɔ.”
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 abɔfoɔ no yɛ dɛn? Wɔn nyinaa yɛ ahonhom a wɔsom Onyankopɔn na ɔsoma wɔn ma wɔkɔboa wɔn a wɔrehwehwɛ nkwagyeɛ no.
Are they not al ministring spirits, sent forth to minister, for their sakes which shalbe heires of saluation?
