< Hebrews 1 >

1 God having spoken in many parts and in many ways formerly to the fathers in the prophets,
第一款 キリストは大いに天使等に優り給ふ 神は昔預言者等を以て、幾度にも幾様にも先祖等に語り給ひしに、
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)
此末の日に至り、曾て萬物の世嗣に立て、又之によりて世を造り給ひたる御子を以て、我等に語り給へり。 (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,
彼は神の光榮の輝、其本體の印章に在して、己が権能の言を以て、萬物を保ち、罪の潔を為し給ひて、天に於て稜威の右に坐し給ふなり。
4 taking a place by so much better than the angels, as he inherits a name more excellent than they.
彼が天使等に優る者と成り給へるは、猶其受け給ひし御名の彼等に優れるが如し。
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?
蓋神曾て天使等の敦れに斯は曰ひしぞ、[曰く]、「汝は我子なり、我今日汝を生めり」と、又「我彼に父たり彼我に子たらん」と。
6 and again, when he brings in the firstborn into the habitable world, he says, And let all God's angels worship him.
又冢子を更に世に入れ給ひし時に曰く、「神の天使皆之を禮拝すべし」、と。
7 And as to the angels he says, Who makes his angels spirits and his ministers a flame of fire;
而して天使等に就きては、「彼風を其使者と為し、焔を其の役者となし給ふ」と言へるに、
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)
御子に就きては、「神よ、汝の玉座は世々に在り、汝の王位の笏は義の笏なり、 (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.
汝正義を愛し不義を憎めり、故に汝の神たる神は、喜の油を汝が同輩に優りて汝に注ぎ給へり、」と言ふ。
10 And, Thou in the beginning, Lord, hast founded the earth, and works of thy hands are the heavens.
又曰く、「主よ、汝初に地を据置き給へり、而して諸の天も御手の業なり、
11 They shall perish, but thou continuest still; and they all shall grow old as a garment,
是等は亡びん、然れど汝は永存し給ひ、是等は皆衣服の如く古びん。
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.
汝之を上衣の如く畳み給はんに、是等は變るべしと雖も、汝は同じきものにして變る事なく、汝の齢終なかるべし」と。
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?
然るに曾て天使等の敦れに向ひてか、「我汝の敵を汝の足台と成らしむるまで我右に坐せよ」、と曰ひし事ある、
14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent out for service on account of those who shall inherit salvation?
天使は悉く役者と成る霊にして、救霊の世嗣を受くべき人々の為に役者として遣はさるるに非ずや。
