Hebrifoɔ 1
1 Mmerɛ a atwam no, na Onyankopɔn nam akwan ahodoɔ bebree so fa adiyifoɔ so kasa kyerɛ yɛn mpanimfoɔ.
GOD, who spake to the fathers of old at various times, and in different manners by the prophets,
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 days hath spoken to us by a Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; (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 splendour of his glory, and the very impress of his substance, and upholding all things with his powerful word, by himself having effected the cleansing of our sins, he sat down at the right hand of Majesty on high;
4 Ɛno enti, ɔyɛɛ kɛse sene abɔfoɔ no, ɛfiri sɛ, edin a Onyankopɔn de too no no yɛ kɛse sene wɔn deɛ no.
made as much superior to the angels, as he hath inherited a more distinguished name than 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 to which of the angels ever said he, “My Son art thou, I have to-day begotten thee?” And again, “I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?”
6 Ɛberɛ a Onyankopɔn pɛɛ sɛ ɔsoma nʼabakan no ba ewiase no, ɔsane kaa sɛ, “Ɛsɛ sɛ Onyankopɔn abɔfoɔ nyinaa som no.”
And again, when he introduces the first-begotten into the world, he saith, “Let all the angels of God also worship him.”
7 Asɛm a Onyankopɔn ka faa abɔfoɔ no ho ne sɛ, “Onyankopɔn soma nʼabɔfoɔ sɛ mframa, na ɔsoma nʼasomfoɔ sɛ gyadɛreeɛ.”
And concerning the angels indeed he thus speaks: “Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministering servants 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 to the Son, “Thy throne, O God, is unto eternity; a sceptre of rectitude is the sceptre of thy kingdom. (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 loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of exultation above those who partake with thee.”
10 Onyankopɔn sane kaa sɛ, “Mfitiaseɛ no wotoo asase fapem, na ɔsoro yɛ wo nsa ano adwuma.
“And thou from the beginning, O Lord, hast founded the earth, and the heavens are the works of thine hands.
11 Ne nyinaa bɛtwam na wo deɛ wobɛtena hɔ daa; wɔbɛtete sɛ atadeɛ.
They will be destroyed, but thou remainest; and they all will grow old as 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 cloak thou wilt wrap them up, and they will undergo a change: but thou art the same, and thy years will never end.”
13 Onyankopɔn anka ankyerɛ nʼabɔfoɔ no sɛ, “Montena me nifa so kɔsi sɛ mede mo atamfoɔ bɛyɛ mo nan ntiasoɔ.”
Unto which indeed of the angels said he ever, “Sit at my right hand until I put thine enemies for a footstool of thy feet?”
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 all ministerial spirits, sent to perform service on account of those who are about to inherit salvation?
