< Hebrifoɔ 1 >
1 Mmerɛ a atwam no, na Onyankopɔn nam akwan ahodoɔ bebree so fa adiyifoɔ so kasa kyerɛ yɛn mpanimfoɔ.
God, having in the past spoken to the fathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways,
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 )
in these last days has spoken to us by a Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the ages. (aiōn )
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.
He is the radiance of his glory, the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had made purification for sins, sat down on the right hand of the 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.
having become so much better than the angels, as he has inherited a more excellent name than they have.
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 did he say at any time, "You are my Son. Today I have become your Father"? And again, "I will be his Father, and he will be my 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 brings in the firstborn into the world he says, "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.”
Of the angels he says, "Who makes his angels winds, and his 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 )
But of the Son he says, "Your throne, O God, is forever and ever, and the righteous scepter is the scepter of your kingdom. (aiōn )
9 Wodɔ tenenee, na wokyiri bɔne, ɛno enti, Onyankopɔn wo Onyankopɔn de wo asi wo mfɛfoɔ so, na ɔde anigyeɛ ngo asra wo.”
You have loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your companions."
10 Onyankopɔn sane kaa sɛ, “Mfitiaseɛ no wotoo asase fapem, na ɔsoro yɛ wo nsa ano adwuma.
And, "In the beginning, Lord, you established the foundation of the earth. The heavens are the works of your hands.
11 Ne nyinaa bɛtwam na wo deɛ wobɛtena hɔ daa; wɔbɛtete sɛ atadeɛ.
They will perish, but you remain; and they will all wear out like a garment.
12 Wɔbɛbobɔ no sɛ ntoma; na wɔbɛsesa no sɛ ntadeɛ. Nanso, wote sɛdeɛ woteɛ, na wo mfeɛ to rentwa da.”
As a cloak, you will roll them up, and like a garment they will be changed. But you remain the same, and your years will have no end."
13 Onyankopɔn anka ankyerɛ nʼabɔfoɔ no sɛ, “Montena me nifa so kɔsi sɛ mede mo atamfoɔ bɛyɛ mo nan ntiasoɔ.”
But which of the angels has he told at any time, "Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies the footstool of your 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 ministering spirits, sent out to do service for the sake of those who will inherit salvation?
