Hebru 1

1 Pathen loh a pa rhoek te tonghma rhoek lamloh a hnukhmai la puet a voek dingrhae coeng.

Long ago God communicated frequently to our ancestors in various ways by what the prophets [said and wrote].

2 Tedae tahae kah hnukkhueng khohnin ah capa lamloh mamih taengah a thui. Anih te cungkuem aka pangkung la a hmoel tih lunglai te khaw anih rhangneh a saii. (aiōn g165)

But now when this final age [is beginning], God has communicated to us [just once] by means of what (his Son/the man who was also God) [said and did. God] appointed him in order that he would possess everything [that truly belongs to God. God also appointed] him in order that he would create the universe. (aiōn g165)

3 Anih tah thangpomnah khosaeng neh a ngaikhueknah kah mueimae la om. A thaomnah olka neh a cungkuem a khoem. Tholh cimcaihnah a saii tih hmuen sang kah Boeilennah bantang ah ngol.

He manifests God’s glory. He exactly represents [what God is like]. He (sustains everything by means of his powerful words. When he had [enabled people to be] freed from the [guilt of] their sins [MET], he sat down in heaven [EUP] [to rule] at the place of greatest honor [MTY] with God [MTY].

4 Heyet a then la aka om puencawn boeih lakah amih loh poekhloep la a ming a pang.

By doing that, he [showed that he] was very much greater than the angels, to the extent that his relationship [MTY] [to God, as his Son], is more excellent than the relationship the angels [have to God].

5 Mebang puencawn rhoek khaw, “Nang tah kamah ca ni. Kai loh tihnin ah nang kan sak, kai tah a napa la ka om vetih anih khaw ka ca la om ni,” a ti nah noek nim?

[We know that] because [in the Scriptures] no one [RHQ] ever reported that God said to any angel [what he said to his Son], You [(sg)] are my Son! Today I have declared to all that I am your Father [DOU]! And he said in another Scripture passage, I will be his Father, and he will be my Son [DOU].

6 Te dongah lunglai la camingomthang koep han khuen vaengah, “Pathen kah puencawn rhoek loh amah te boeih bawk uh saeh,” a ti.

And [we know his Son is greater than the angels because in] another [Scripture passage someone wrote this about God’s esteemed Son], when God was about to send him into the world: All God’s angels must worship him.

7 Tedae puencawn rhoek ngawn tah, “Amah kah puencawn rhoek te khohli la, amah kah bibikung rhoek te hmai hmaitak la a saii,” a ti.

[And in the Scriptures it is written that] someone said this about the angels: [God] makes the [angels] who serve him [to be changeable like] [MET] winds and flames of fire.

8 Tedae capa te tah, “Aw Pathen, na ngolkhoel tah kumhal kah kumhal la cak tih na ram kah conghol tah duengnah conghol la om. (aiōn g165)

But on the other hand, [in the Scriptures it is written that God said] this to his Son: You [(sg)] who are [also] God will rule forever [MTY], and you will reign righteously over your kingdom [MTY]. (aiōn g165)

9 Duengnah te na lungnah tih olaeknah te na hmuhuet. Te dongah Pathen loh nang n'koelh. Na Pathen loh na pueipo lakah kohoenah situi n'koelh pai.

You have loved [people’s] righteous [deeds] and you have hated [people’s] lawless [deeds]. So I, your God, have caused you to be more joyful [MTY] than anyone else.

10 Te phoeiah, a cuekca vaengah Boeipa nang loh diklai na tong tih vaan te namah kah kutngo ni.

And [we also know that his Son is superior to angels because in the Scriptures the Psalmist wrote that] someone said to God’s Son, Lord, it was you who created the earth in the beginning. You also made [the rest of] the universe (OR, the [things in] the sky) [MTY].

11 Amih tah poci vetih himbai bangla boeih rhuem ni. Tedae nang tah na nguel ni.

Everything in the universe will disappear, but you will keep on living [forever]. They will wear out as clothing [wears out].

12 Amih te hni bangla na yol vetih himbai bangla thovael uh bal ni. Tedae nang tah amah la na om tih na kum khaw bawt mahpawh.

You will dispose of them as one rolls up an [old] coat [before getting rid of it]. [Then], you will exchange [everything that is in the universe for what is new], as someone puts on a new garment [in exchange for an old garment] [SIM]. But you [are not like what you created]; You stay the same, and you live forever [LIT]!

13 Te dongah mebang puencawn rhoek taengah nim, “Na rhal rhoek te na kho kah khotloeng la ka khueh hlan atah kai kah bantang ah ngol,” a ti nah noek.

[We also know that his Son is superior to angels because no one ever stated] [RHQ] [in the Scriptures] that God said to any angel [what he said to his Son], Sit [in the place of honor] next to me and rule with me [MTY] while I put all of your enemies completely under your control [MET]!

14 Khangnah te pang hamla aka cai rhoek te bibinah dongah a tueih, mueihla thothueng la boeih a om moenih a?

The angels are [only] spirits who serve [God] [RHQ]. [God] sends them [to earth] in order to help those he has saved (OR, those whom he will save).
