Hebrews 1

1 God having spoken in many parts and in many ways formerly to the fathers in the prophets,

God, having in the past spoken to the fathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways,

2 at the end of these days has spoken to us in [the person of the] Son, whom he has established heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; (aiōn g165)

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 g165)

3 who being [the] effulgence of his glory and [the] expression of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, having made [by himself] the purification of sins, set himself down on the right hand of the greatness on high,

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 taking a place by so much better than the angels, as he inherits a name more excellent than they.

having become so much better than the angels, as he has inherited a more excellent name than they have.

5 For to which of the angels said he ever, Thou art my Son: this day have I begotten thee? and again, I will be to him for father, and he shall be to me for son?

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 and again, when he brings in the firstborn into the habitable world, he says, And let all God's angels worship him.

And again, when he brings in the firstborn into the world he says, "Let all the angels of God worship him."

7 And as to the angels he says, Who makes his angels spirits and his ministers a flame of fire;

Of the angels he says, "Who makes his angels winds, and his servants a flame of fire."

8 but as to the Son, Thy throne, O God, [is] to the age of the age, and a sceptre of uprightness [is] the sceptre of thy kingdom. (aiōn g165)

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 g165)

9 Thou hast loved righteousness and hast hated lawlessness; therefore God, thy God, has anointed thee with oil of gladness above thy companions.

You have loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your companions."

10 And, Thou in the beginning, Lord, hast founded the earth, and works of thy hands are the heavens.

And, "In the beginning, Lord, you established the foundation of the earth. The heavens are the works of your hands.

11 They shall perish, but thou continuest still; and they all shall grow old as a garment,

They will perish, but you remain; and they will all wear out like a garment.

12 and as a covering shalt thou roll them up, and they shall be changed; but thou art the Same, and thy years shall not fail.

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 But as to which of the angels said he ever, Sit at my right hand until I put thine enemies [as] footstool of thy feet?

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 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent out for service on account of those who shall inherit salvation?

Are they not all ministering spirits, sent out to do service for the sake of those who will inherit salvation?
