Hebrews 1

1 God in tyme past diversly and many wayes spake vnto the fathers by Prophetes:

God, who, of old, at many times and in many ways, spoke to our ancestors, by the Prophets,

2 but in these last dayes he hath spoken vnto vs by his sonne whom he hath made heyre of all thinges: by who also he made the worlde. (aiōn g165)

has in these latter days spoken to us by the Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe. (aiōn g165)

3 Which sonne beynge the brightnes of his glory and very ymage of his substance bearinge vp all thinges with the worde of his power hath in his awne person pourged oure synnes and is sitten on the right honde of the maiestie an hye

For he is the radiance of the Glory of God and the very expression of his Being, upholding all creation by the power of his word; and, when he had made an expiation for the sins of men, he ‘took his seat at the right hand’ of God’s Majesty on high,

4 and is more excellent then the angels in as moche as he hath by inheritaunce obteyned an excellenter name then have they.

having shown himself as much greater than the angels as the Name that he has inherited surpasses theirs.

5 For vnto which of the angels sayde he ateny tyme: Thou arte my sonne this daye be gate I the? And agayne: I will be his father and he shalbe my sonne.

For to which of the angels did God ever say — ‘Thou art my Son; this day I have become thy Father’? or again — ‘I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son’?

6 And agayne whe he bringeth in the fyrst begotten sonne in to the worlde he sayth: And all the angels of God shall worshippe him.

And again, when God brought the First-born into the world, he said — ‘Let all the angels of God bow down before him.’

7 And of the angels he sayth: He maketh his angels spretes and his ministres flammes of fyre.

Speaking of the angels, he said — ‘He makes the winds his angels And the fiery flames his servants’;

8 But vnto the sonne he sayth: God thy seate shalbe forever and ever. The cepter of thy kyngdome is a right cepter. (aiōn g165)

while of the Son he said — ‘God is thy throne for ever and ever; The sceptre of his Kingdom is the sceptre of Justice; (aiōn g165)

9 Thou hast loved rightewesnes and hated iniquyte. Wherfore God which is thy God hath anoynted the with ye oyle of gladnes above thy felowes.

Thou lovest righteousness and hatest iniquity; Therefore God, thy God, has anointed thee with the festal oil more abundantly than thy peers.’

10 And thou Lorde in the begynninge hast layde the foundacion of the erth. And the heves are the workes of thy hondes.

Again — ‘Thou, Lord, in the beginning didst lay the foundation of the earth, And the heavens are the work of thy hands.

11 They shall perisshe but thou shalt endure. They all shall wexe olde as doth a garment:

They shall perish, but thou remainest; As a garment they shall all grow old;

12 and as a vesture shalt thou chaunge them and they shalbe chaunged. But thou arte all wayes and thy yeres shall not fayle.

As a mantle thou wilt fold them up, And as a garment they shall be changed, But thou art the same, and thy years shall know no end.’

13 Vnto which of the angels sayde he at eny tyme? Sit on my ryght honde tyll I make thyne enemyes thy fote stole.

To which of the angels has God ever said — ‘Sit thou at my right hand Until I put thy enemies as a stool for thy feet’?

14 Are they not all mynistrynge spretes sent to minister for their sakes which shalbe heyres of salvacion?

Are not all the angels spirits in the service of God, sent out to minister for the sake of those who are destined to obtain Salvation?
