< Hebrews 1 >

1 Long ago God communicated frequently to our ancestors in various ways by what the prophets [said and wrote].
Rehefa nampitenenin’ Andriamanitra tamin’ ny razana fahiny ny mpaminany tamin’ ny andro samy hafa sy ny fanao samy hafa;
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)
dia amin’ izao andro farany izao kosa no nampitenenany tamintsika ny Zanany, Izay voatendriny ho Mpandova ny zavatra rehetra; Izy no nahariany izao tontolo izao, (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].
Izy koa no famirapiratan’ ny voninahiny sy endriky ny tenany indrindra ary mihazona ny zavatra rehetra amin’ ny herin’ ny teniny; ary rehefa nanao fanadiovana hahafaka ny fahotana Izy, dia nipetraka teo amin’ ny tanana ankavanan’ ny Lehibe any amin’ ny avo
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].
ka natao tsara noho ny anjely, araka ny nandovany anarana tsara noho ireny.
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].
Fa anjely iza no mba nilazany hoe: “Zanako Hianao, Izaho niteraka Anao androany”? Ary koa: “Izaho ho Rainy, Ary Izy ho Zanako”?
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.
Ary raha mitondra ny Lahimatoa ho amin’ izao fiainana izao indray, dia hoy Izy: “Ary aoka ny anjelin’ Andriamanitra rehetra hiankohoka eo anoloany”.
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.
Ary ny anjely dia ilazany hoe: “Izy manao ny anjeliny ho rivotra, Ary ny mpanompony ho lelafo”.
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)
Fa ny Zanaka kosa dia nilazany hoe: “Ny seza fiandriananao, Andriamanitra ô, dia mandrakizay doria; Ary ny tehim-pahitsiana no tehim-panjakanao; (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.
Tianao ny fahamarinana, fa halanao ny heloka; Koa Andriamanitra, dia Andriamanitrao, efa nanoso-diloilo fifaliana Anao Mihoatra noho ny namanao”.
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].
Ary izao koa: “Hianao, Jehovah ô, tany aloha no nanorenanao ny tany, Ary asan’ ny tananao ny lanitra;
11 Everything in the universe will disappear, but you will keep on living [forever]. They will wear out as clothing [wears out].
Ireo dia ho levona, fa Hianao no maharitra; Ary izy rehetra ho rovitra toy ny fitafiana,
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]!
Ary toy ny lamba no hamalonanao azy, Dia toy ny fitafiana, ka hovana izy; Fa Hianao no tsy miova, Ary ny taonanao no tsy ho tapitra”.
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]!
Fa anjely iza no mba nilazany hoe: “Mipetraha eo an-tanako ankavanana, Ambara-panaoko ny fahavalonao ho fitoeran-tongotrao”?
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).
Tsy fanahy manompo va izy rehetra, nirahina hanao fanompoana ho an’ izay handova famonjena?
