Ebre 1
1 Nan tan lontan, Bondye te mete pawòl nan bouch pwofèt yo nan divès okazyon ak divès jan pou l' te ka pale ak zansèt nou yo.
God, who, of old, at many times and in many ways, spoke to our ancestors, by the prophets,
2 Men, nan dènye jou sa yo, se pitit li a menm Bondye te voye pale ak nou nan non li. Se ak Pitit sa a Bondye te kreye tout bagay. Se li menm tou Bondye chwazi pou eritye tout bagay lè sa va fini nèt. (aiōn g165)
has in these latter days spoken to us by the Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe. (aiōn g165)
3 Pitit sa a reflete limyè bèl pouvwa Bondye a, se bon pòtre Bondye li ye. Se li menm k'ap soutni tout bagay ak pouvwa pawòl li. Lè li fin delivre moun anba peche yo, li moute chita anwo nan syèl la, sou bò dwat Bondye, Gran Wa a.
For he is the radiance of the glory of God and the expression of his being, upholding all creation by the power of his word; and, when he had made an expiation for the sins of humanity, he took his seat at the right hand of God’s Majesty on high,
4 Pitit la sitèlman gen plis pouvwa pase zanj yo, Bondye ba l' yon non ki pi konsekan pase pa yo a.
having shown himself as much greater than the angels as the name that he has inherited surpasses theirs.
5 Kilès nan zanj yo Bondye te janm di: Ou se pitit mwen. Depi jòdi a se mwen ki papa ou? Li pa janm di okenn nan zanj li yo: M'a yon papa pou li. La yon pitit pou mwen.
For to which of the angels did God ever say – “You are my Son; this day I have become your Father”? or again – “I will be to him a Father, and he will be to me a Son”?
6 Men, lè Bondye t'ap voye premye Pitit li a sou latè, li te di: Se pou tout zanj Bondye yo adore li.
And again, when God brought the firstborn into the world, he said – “Let all the angels of God bow down before him.”
7 Lè l' t'ap pale sou zanj li yo, li te di: Bondye fè zanj li yo tounen van. Li fè sèvitè l' yo tounen flanm dife.
Speaking of the angels, he said – “He makes the winds his angels and the flames of fire his servants”;
8 Men, lè l'ap pale sou Pitit li a, li di: O Bondye, gouvènman ou lan la pou tout tan. W'ap gouvènen san patipri tankou yon wa nan peyi ou la. (aiōn g165)
while of the Son he said – “God is your throne for ever and ever; the sceptre of his kingdom is the sceptre of Justice; (aiōn g165)
9 Ou te renmen tou sa ki byen. Ou te rayi tou sa ki mal. Se poutèt sa, Bondye ki Bondye ou la chwazi ou. Li fè kè ou kontan nèt ale, li fè pou ou bagay li pa fè pou lòt zanmi ou yo.
You love righteousness and hates iniquity; therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the festal oil more abundantly than your peers.”
10 Yon lòt fwa, li di ankò: Se ou menm, Mèt la, Bondye ki te kreye latè nan konmansman. Se avèk men ou ou te fè syèl la.
Again – “You, Lord, in the beginning did lay the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands.
11 Yo gen pou yo disparèt, men ou menm w'ap toujou la. Yo gen pou yo fini tankou rad.
They will perish, but you remain; as a garment they will all grow old;
12 W'ap vlope yo tankou yon chemiz mete la. W'ap chanje yo tankou rad. Men ou menm, ou p'ap janm chanje, ou p'ap janm mouri.
As a mantle you will fold them up, and as a garment they will be changed, but you are the same, and your years will know no end.”
13 Bondye pa janm di okenn nan zanj li yo: Chita la sou bò dwat mwen, jouk tan mwen fè lènmi ou yo tounen yon ti ban pou lonje pye ou.
To which of the angels has God ever said – “Sit you at my right hand until I put your enemies as a stool for your feet”?
14 Kisa zanj Bondye yo ye menm? Yo tout se yonn bann lespri k'ap sèvi Bondye. Se Bondye menm ki voye yo pou ede moun ki la pou jwenn delivrans yo.
Are not all the angels spirits in the service of God, sent out to minister for the sake of those who are destined to obtain salvation?
