ヘブル人への手紙 1

1 第一款 キリストは大いに天使等に優り給ふ 神は昔預言者等を以て、幾度にも幾様にも先祖等に語り給ひしに、

God, having spoken to the fathers through the prophets in many parts and in various ways, in the past,

2 此末の日に至り、曾て萬物の世嗣に立て、又之によりて世を造り給ひたる御子を以て、我等に語り給へり。 (aiōn g165)

has at the end of these days spoken to us by Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the ages; (aiōn g165)

3 彼は神の光榮の輝、其本體の印章に在して、己が権能の言を以て、萬物を保ち、罪の潔を為し給ひて、天に於て稜威の右に坐し給ふなり。

who being the projection of His glory and the very image of His essence, and sustaining all things by the expression of His[S] own power, when He had by Himself provided purification for our sins He sat down on the highest Majesty's right,

4 彼が天使等に優る者と成り給へるは、猶其受け給ひし御名の彼等に優れるが如し。

having become so much superior to the angels as He has inherited a more excellent name than they have.

5 蓋神曾て天使等の敦れに斯は曰ひしぞ、[曰く]、「汝は我子なり、我今日汝を生めり」と、又「我彼に父たり彼我に子たらん」と。

For to which of the angels did He[F] ever say, “You are my Son, today I begot you,” and again, “I will be ‘Father’ to Him, and He will be ‘Son’ to me?”

6 又冢子を更に世に入れ給ひし時に曰く、「神の天使皆之を禮拝すべし」、と。

Again, when He introduces the Firstborn into the inhabited earth He says, “Let all God's angels worship Him[S].”

7 而して天使等に就きては、「彼風を其使者と為し、焔を其の役者となし給ふ」と言へるに、

Further, about the angels He[F] says, “Who makes His angels winds, His servants flames of fire”;

8 御子に就きては、「神よ、汝の玉座は世々に在り、汝の王位の笏は義の笏なり、 (aiōn g165)

while to the Son He says: “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; ‘Scepter of Uprightness’ is the scepter of Your kingdom. (aiōn g165)

9 汝正義を愛し不義を憎めり、故に汝の神たる神は、喜の油を汝が同輩に優りて汝に注ぎ給へり、」と言ふ。

You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness, therefore God, Your God, has anointed You with the oil of exultation beyond Your companions.”

10 又曰く、「主よ、汝初に地を据置き給へり、而して諸の天も御手の業なり、

Also: “You, Lord, in the beginning, laid the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are works of Your hands;

11 是等は亡びん、然れど汝は永存し給ひ、是等は皆衣服の如く古びん。

they will perish but You continue on —they will all grow old like a garment;

12 汝之を上衣の如く畳み給はんに、是等は變るべしと雖も、汝は同じきものにして變る事なく、汝の齢終なかるべし」と。

You will roll them up like a cloak and they will be changed, while You stay the same and Your years will never end.”

13 然るに曾て天使等の敦れに向ひてか、「我汝の敵を汝の足台と成らしむるまで我右に坐せよ」、と曰ひし事ある、

On the other hand, to which of the angels did He ever say, “Sit on my right until I place your enemies as a stool under your feet”?

14 天使は悉く役者と成る霊にして、救霊の世嗣を受くべき人々の為に役者として遣はさるるに非ずや。

Are they not all ministering spirits being sent to serve those who are going to inherit salvation?
