Послание к Евреям 1
1 Многочастне и многообразне древле Бог глаголавый отцем во пророцех,
Long ago God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets at many times and in many ways.
2 в последок дний сих глагола нам в Сыне, Егоже положи наследника всем, Имже и веки сотвори. (aiōn g165)
But in these last days, he has spoken to us through a Son, whom he appointed to be the heir of all things. It is through him that God also made the universe. (aiōn g165)
3 Иже сый сияние славы и образ ипостаси Его, нося же всяческая глаголголом силы Своея, Собою очищение сотворив грехов наших, седе о десную престола величествия на высоких,
He is the brightness of God's glory, the exact representation of his being. He even holds everything together by the word of his power. After he had made cleansing for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high.
4 толико лучший быв Ангелов, елико преславнее паче их наследствова имя.
He has become just as superior to the angels as the name he has inherited is more excellent than their name.
5 Кому бо рече когда от Ангел: Сын Мой еси Ты, Аз днесь родих Тя? И паки: Аз буду Ему во Отца, и Той будет Мне в Сына?
For to which of the angels did God ever say, “You are my son, today I have become your father”? Or to which of the angels did God ever say, “I will be a father to him, and he will be a son to me”?
6 Егда же паки вводит Первороднаго во вселенную, глаголет: и да поклонятся Ему вси Ангели Божии.
But again, when God brings the firstborn into the world, he says, “All God's angels must worship him.”
7 И ко Ангелом убо глаголет: творяй Ангелы Своя духи и слуги Своя огнь палящь.
About the angels he says, “He is the one who makes his angels spirits, and his servants flames of fire.”
But to the Son he says, “Your throne, God, is forever and ever. The scepter of your kingdom is the scepter of justice. (aiōn g165)
9 возлюбил еси правду и возненавидел еси беззаконие: сего ради помаза Тя, Боже, Бог Твой елеем радости паче причастник Твоих.
You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness. Therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of joy more than your companions.”
10 И (паки): в начале Ты, Господи, землю основал еси, и дела руку Твоею суть небеса:
“In the beginning, Lord, you laid the earth's foundation. The heavens are the work of your hands.
11 та погибнут, Ты же пребываеши: и вся, якоже риза, обетшают,
They will perish, but you will continue. They will all wear out like a piece of clothing.
12 и яко одежду свиеши их, и изменятся: Ты же тойжде еси, и лета Твоя не оскудеют.
You will roll them up like a cloak, and they will be changed like a piece of clothing. But you are the same, and your years do not end.”
13 Кому же от Ангел рече когда: седи о десную Мене, дондеже положу враги Твоя подножие ног Твоих?
But to which of the angels has God said at any time, “Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a stool for your feet”?
14 Не вси ли суть служебнии дуси, в служение посылаеми за хотящих наследовати спасение?
Are not all angels spirits who serve, and who are sent to care for those who will inherit salvation?
