Hebræos 1
1 Multifariam, multisque modis olim Deus loquens patribus in Prophetis:
God, having in the past spoken to the fathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways,
2 novissime, diebus istis locutus est nobis in Filio, quem constituit heredem universorum, per quem fecit et saecula: (aiōn g165)
in these last days has spoken to us by a Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the ages. (aiōn g165)
3 qui cum sit splendor gloriae, et figura substantiae eius, portansque omnia verbo virtutis suae, purgationem peccatorum faciens, sedet ad dexteram maiestatis in excelsis:
He is the radiance of his glory, the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had made purification for sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
4 tanto melior Angelis effectus, quanto differentius prae illis nomen hereditavit.
having become so much better than the angels, as he has inherited a more excellent name than they have.
5 Cui enim dixit aliquando Angelorum: Filius meus es tu, ego hodie genui te? Et rursum: Ego ero illi in patrem, et ipse erit mihi in filium?
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 his Father, and he will be my Son"?
6 Et cum iterum introducit primogenitum in orbem terrae, dicit: Et adorent eum omnes Angeli Dei.
And again, when he brings in the firstborn into the world he says, "Let all the angels of God worship him."
7 Et ad Angelos quidem dicit: Qui facit Angelos suos spiritus, et ministros suos flammam ignis.
Of the angels he says, "Who makes his angels winds, and his servants a flame of fire."
8 Ad filium autem: Thronus tuus Deus in saeculum saeculi: virga aequitatis, virga regni tui. (aiōn g165)
But of the Son he says, "Your throne, O God, is forever and ever, and the righteous scepter is the scepter of your Kingdom. (aiōn g165)
9 Dilexisti iustitiam, et odisti iniquitatem: propterea unxit te Deus, Deus tuus oleo exultationis prae participibus tuis.
You have loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your companions."
10 Et: Tu in principio Domine terram fundasti: et opera manuum tuarum sunt caeli.
And, "In the beginning, Lord, you established the foundation of the earth. The heavens are the works of your hands.
11 Ipsi peribunt, tu autem permanebis, et omnes ut vestimentum veterascent:
They will perish, but you remain; and they will all wear out like a garment.
12 et velut amictum mutabis eos, et mutabuntur: tu autem idem ipse es, et anni tui non deficient.
As a cloak, you will roll them up, and like a garment they will be changed. But you remain the same, and your years will have no end."
13 Ad quem autem Angelorum dixit aliquando: Sede a dextris meis, quoadusque ponam inimicos tuos scabellum pedum tuorum?
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?"
14 Nonne omnes sunt administratorii spiritus, in ministerium missi propter eos, qui hereditatem capiunt salutis?
Are they not all ministering spirits, sent out to do service for the sake of those who will inherit salvation?
