Hebræos 1
1 Multifariam, multisque modis olim Deus loquens patribus in Prophetis:
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 novissime, diebus istis locutus est nobis in Filio, quem constituit heredem universorum, per quem fecit et saecula: (aiōn g165)
whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe. (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 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 tanto melior Angelis effectus, quanto differentius prae illis nomen hereditavit.
having become as much superior to the angels as the name he has inherited is more excellent than theirs.
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 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 Et cum iterum introducit primogenitum in orbem terrae, dicit: Et adorent eum omnes Angeli Dei.
And again, when he brings his 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, “He 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, “Yoʋr throne, O God, endures forever and ever; the scepter of yoʋr kingdom is a scepter of uprightness. (aiōn g165)
9 Dilexisti iustitiam, et odisti iniquitatem: propterea unxit te Deus, Deus tuus oleo exultationis prae participibus tuis.
Yoʋ have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness; therefore God, yoʋr God, has anointed yoʋ with the oil of gladness beyond yoʋr companions.”
10 Et: Tu in principio Domine terram fundasti: et opera manuum tuarum sunt caeli.
And, “In the beginning yoʋ, O Lord, laid the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are the works of yoʋr hands.
11 Ipsi peribunt, tu autem permanebis, et omnes ut vestimentum veterascent:
They will perish, but yoʋ remain; 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.
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 Ad quem autem Angelorum dixit aliquando: Sede a dextris meis, quoadusque ponam inimicos tuos scabellum pedum tuorum?
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 Nonne omnes sunt administratorii spiritus, in ministerium missi propter eos, qui hereditatem capiunt salutis?
Are they not all ministering spirits sent out to serve those who will inherit salvation?
