Hebrews 1
1 In many parts and many ways, God, having spoken long ago to the fathers by the prophets,
UNkulunkulu owakhuluma endulo kubobaba ngabaprofethi ngezigaba ngezigaba langendlela ezinengi,
2 in these last days speaks to us in [His] Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom He also made the ages; (aiōn g165)
kulezinsuku zokucina ukhulume kithi ngeNdodana, ayimise ibe yindlalifa yezinto zonke, owadala ngayo futhi imihlaba, (aiōn g165)
3 who being the brightness of the glory, and the impress of His subsistence, bearing up also all things by the saying of His might—having made a cleansing of our sins through Himself, sat down at the right hand of the Greatness in the highest,
yona eyikubenyezela kwenkazimulo, lomfuziselo uqobo wobukhona bakhe, njalo ithwele izinto zonke ngelizwi lamandla ayo, lapho isiyenzile ngokwayo ukuhlanjululwa kwezono zethu, yahlala phansi ngakwesokunene soBukhulu obuphezulu,
4 having become so much better than the messengers, as He inherited a more excellent name than them.
isiyenziwe yaphakama kakhulu kulezingilosi, njengalokhu izuze ilifa lebizo elikhulu kulalezo.
5 For to which of the messengers did He ever say, “You are My Son—today I have begotten You?” And again, “I will be to Him for a Father, and He will be to Me for a Son?”
Ngoba kukuyiphi yezingilosi ake watsho kuyo ukuthi: Wena uyiNdodana yami, mina lamuhla ngikuzele? Lokuthi futhi: Mina ngizakuba nguYise kiyo, yona-ke ibe yiNdodana kimi?
6 And when again He may bring the firstborn into the world, He says, “And let them worship Him—all messengers of God”;
Futhi mhla ephinda eletha olizibulo emhlabeni, uthi: Lengilosi zonke zikaNkulunkulu kazimkhonze.
7 and to the messengers, indeed, He says, “The [One] who is making His messengers spirits, and His ministers a flame of fire”;
Lakuzingilosi uthi: Owenza ingilosi zakhe imimoya, lenceku zakhe ilangabi lomlilo;
8 but to the Son: “Your throne, O God, [is] throughout the age of the age; The scepter of righteousness [is the] scepter of Your kingdom; (aiōn g165)
kodwa eNdodaneni uthi: Isihlalo sakho sobukhosi, Nkulunkulu, singesaphakade laphakade; intonga yombuso wakho yintonga yokulunga. (aiōn g165)
9 You loved righteousness, and hated lawlessness; Because of this He anointed You—God, Your God—With oil of gladness above Your partners”;
Uthandile ukulunga, wazonda ububi; ngenxa yalokhu, uNkulunkulu, uNkulunkulu wakho ukugcobile ngamagcobo entokozo kulabanakwenu.
10 and, “You, LORD, founded the earth at the beginning, And the heavens are a work of Your hands.
Lokuthi: Wena Nkosi, ekuqaleni wasekela umhlaba, lamazulu ayimisebenzi yezandla zakho;
11 These will perish, but You remain, And all will become old as a garment,
kuzabhubha lokho, kodwa wena umi njalonjalo; futhi kuzaguga konke njengesigqoko,
12 And You will roll them together as a mantle, and they will be changed, But You are the same, and Your years will not fail.”
lanjengesembatho uzakugoqa, kuzaphendulwa-ke; kodwa wena unguwe unjalo, leminyaka yakho kayiyikuphela.
13 And to which of the messengers did He ever say, “Sit at My right hand, Until I may make Your enemies Your footstool?”
Kukuyiphi-ke yezingilosi ake atsho kuyo ukuthi: Hlala ngakwesokunene sami, ngize ngibeke izitha zakho zibe yisenabelo senyawo zakho?
14 Are they not all spirits of service—being sent forth for ministry because of those about to inherit salvation?
Kazisibo yini zonke omoya abasebenzayo abathunyelwe ukukhonza ngenxa yalabo abazakudla ilifa losindiso?
