Ebrei 1

1 AVENDO Iddio variamente, ed in molte maniere, parlato già anticamente a' padri, ne' profeti,

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

2 in questi ultimi giorni, ha parlato a noi nel [suo] Figliuolo, il quale egli ha costituito erede d'ogni cosa; per lo quale ancora ha fatti i secoli. (aiōn g165)

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)

3 Il quale, essendo lo splendor della gloria, e l'impronta della sussistenza d'esso; e portando tutte le cose con la parola della sua potenza, dopo aver fatto per sè stesso il purgamento de' nostri peccati, si è posto a sedere alla destra della Maestà, ne' luoghi altissimi;

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].

4 essendo fatto di tanto superiore agli angeli, quanto egli ha eredato un nome più eccellente ch'essi.

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].

5 Perciocchè, a qual degli angeli disse egli mai: Tu sei il mio Figliuolo, oggi io ti ho generato? E di nuovo: Io gli sarò Padre, ed egli mi sarà Figliuolo?

[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].

6 Ed ancora, quando egli introduce il Primogenito nel mondo, dice: E adorinlo tutti gli angeli di Dio.

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.

7 Inoltre, mentre degli angeli egli dice: Il qual fa dei venti suoi angeli, ed una fiamma di fuoco i suoi ministri,

[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.

8 del Figliuolo [dice]: O Dio, il tuo trono [è] ne' secoli de' secoli; lo scettro del tuo regno [è] uno scettro di dirittura. (aiōn g165)

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)

9 Tu hai amata giustizia, ed hai odiata iniquità; perciò, Iddio, l'Iddio tuo, ti ha unto d'olio di letizia più che i tuoi pari.

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.

10 E tu, Signore, nel principio fondasti la terra, ed i cieli son opere delle tue mani.

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].

11 Essi periranno, ma tu dimori; ed invecchieranno tutti, a guisa di vestimento.

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

12 E tu li piegherai come una vesta, e saranno mutati; ma tu sei [sempre] lo stesso, e i tuoi anni non verranno [giammai] meno.

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]!

13 Ed a qual degli angeli disse egli mai: Siedi alla mia destra, finchè io abbia posti i tuoi nemici [per] iscannello de' tuoi piedi?

[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]!

14 Non son eglino tutti spiriti ministratori, mandati a servire, per amor di coloro che hanno ad eredar la salute?

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).
