Hebrews 1

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

Nachdem vorzeiten Gott manchmal und mancherlei Weise geredet hat zu den Vätern durch die Propheten,

2 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)

hat er am letzten in diesen Tagen zu uns geredet durch den Sohn, welchen er gesetzt hat zum Erben über alles, durch welchen er auch die Welt gemacht hat; (aiōn g165)

3 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].

welcher, sintemal er ist der Glanz seiner HERRLIchkeit und das Ebenbild seines Wesens und trägt alle Dinge mit seinem kräftigen Wort und hat gemacht die Reinigung unserer Sünden durch sich selbst, hat er sich gesetzt zu der Rechten der Majestät in der Höhe,

4 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].

so viel besser worden denn die Engel, so gar viel einen höhern Namen er vor ihnen ererbet hat.

5 [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].

Denn zu welchem Engel hat er jemals gesagt: Du bist mein Sohn, heute habe ich dich gezeuget? Und abermal: Ich werde sein Vater sein, und er wird mein Sohn sein?

6 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.

Und abermal, da er einführet den Erstgeborenen in die Welt, spricht er: Und es sollen ihn alle Gottesengel anbeten.

7 [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.

Von den Engeln spricht er zwar: Er macht seine Engel Geister und seine Diener Feuerflammen;

8 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)

aber von dem Sohn: Gott, dein Stuhl währet von Ewigkeit zu Ewigkeit; das Zepter deines Reichs ist ein richtiges Zepter. (aiōn g165)

9 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.

Du hast geliebet die Gerechtigkeit und gehasset die Ungerechtigkeit; darum hat dich, o Gott, gesalbet dein Gott mit dem Öle der Freuden über deine Genossen;

10 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].

und: Du, HERR, hast von Anfang die Erde gegründet, und die Himmel sind deiner Hände Werk.

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

Dieselbigen werden vergehen, du aber wirst bleiben; und sie werden alle veralten wie ein Kleid,

12 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]!

und wie ein Gewand wirst du sie wandeln, und sie werden sich verwandeln. Du aber bist derselbige, und deine Jahre werden nicht aufhören.

13 [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]!

Zu welchem Engel aber hat er jemals gesagt: Setze dich zu meiner Rechten, bis ich lege deine Feinde zum Schemel deiner Füße?

14 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).

Sind sie nicht allzumal dienstbare Geister, ausgesandt zum Dienst um derer willen, die ererben sollen die Seligkeit?
