Hebrews 1

1 God, having in the past spoken to the fathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways,

God spoke to our fathers long ago at many times and in many ways through the prophets, but in these last days he has spoken to us through his Son,

2 has at the end of these days spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the worlds. (aiōn g165)

whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe. (aiōn g165)

3 His Son is the radiance of his glory, the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, who, when he had by himself purified us of our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high,

He is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his nature, sustaining all things by his powerful word. When he had made purification for our sins by giving his own life, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in high places,

4 having become as much better than the angels as the more excellent name he has inherited is better than theirs.

having become as much superior to the angels as the name he has inherited is more excellent than theirs.

5 For to which of the angels did he say at any time, “You are my Son. Today I have become your father?” and again, “I will be to him a Father, and he will be to me a Son?”

For to which of the angels did God ever say, “Yoʋ are my Son; today I have begotten yoʋ”? Or again, “I will be his Father, and he will be my Son”?

6 When he again brings in the firstborn into the world he says, “Let all the angels of God worship him.”

And again, when he brings his firstborn into the world, he says, “Let all the angels of God worship him.”

7 Of the angels he says, “He makes his angels winds, and his servants a flame of fire.”

Of the angels he says, “He makes his angels winds, and his servants a flame of fire,”

8 But of the Son he says, “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever. The scepter of uprightness is the scepter of your Kingdom. (aiōn g165)

but of the Son he says, “Yoʋr throne, O God, endures forever and ever; the scepter of yoʋr kingdom is a scepter of uprightness. (aiōn g165)

9 You have loved righteousness and hated iniquity; therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows.”

Yoʋ have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness; therefore God, yoʋr God, has anointed yoʋ with the oil of gladness beyond yoʋr companions.”

10 And, “You, Lord, in the beginning, laid the foundation of the earth. The heavens are the works of your hands.

And, “In the beginning yoʋ, O Lord, laid the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are the works of yoʋr hands.

11 They will perish, but you continue. They all will grow old like a garment does.

They will perish, but yoʋ remain; they will all wear out like a garment.

12 You will roll them up like a mantle, and they will be changed; but you are the same. Your years won’t fail.”

Yoʋ will roll them up like a robe, and they will be changed. But yoʋ remain the same, and yoʋr years will never come to an end.”

13 But which of the angels has he told at any time, “Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies the footstool of your feet?”

To which of the angels did God ever say, “Sit at my right hand until I make yoʋr enemies a footstool for yoʋr feet”?

14 Aren’t they all serving spirits, sent out to do service for the sake of those who will inherit salvation?

Are they not all ministering spirits sent out to serve those who will inherit salvation?
