1. In times past, God spoke in partial and various ways to our ancestors through the prophets;
|
1. God G2316 who at sundry times G4181 and G2532 in divers manners G4187 spake G2980 in time past G3819 unto the G3588 fathers G3962 by G1722 the G3588 prophets G4396 ,
|
|
2. in these last days, he spoke to us through a son, whom he made heir of all things and through whom he created the universe,
|
2. Hath in G1909 these G5130 last G2078 days G2250 spoken G2980 unto us G2254 by G1722 his Son G5207 , whom G3739 he hath appointed G5087 heir G2818 of all things G3956 , by G1223 whom G3739 also G2532 he made G4160 the G3588 worlds G165 ;
|
|
3. who is the refulgence of his glory, the very imprint of his being, and who sustains all things by his mighty word. When he had accomplished purification from sins, he took his seat at the right hand of the Majesty on high,
|
3. Who G3739 being G5607 the brightness G541 of his glory G1391 , and G2532 the express image G5481 of his G848 person G5287 , and G5037 upholding G5342 all things G3956 by the G3588 word G4487 of his G846 power G1411 , when he had by G1223 himself G1438 purged G4160 G2512 our G2257 sins G266 , sat down G2523 on G1722 the right hand G1188 of the G3588 Majesty G3172 on G1722 high G5308 ;
|
|
4. as far superior to the angels as the name he has inherited is more excellent than theirs.
|
4. Being made G1096 so much G5118 better G2909 than the G3588 angels G32 , as G3745 he hath by inheritance obtained G2816 a more excellent G1313 name G3686 than G3844 they G846 .
|
|
5. For to which of the angels did God ever say: "You are my son; this day I have begotten you"? Or again: "I will be a father to him, and he shall be a son to me"?
|
5. For G1063 unto which G5101 of the G3588 angels G32 said G2036 he at any time G4218 , Thou G4771 art G1488 my G3450 son G5207 , this day G4594 have I G1473 begotten G1080 thee G4571 ? And G2532 again G3825 , I G1473 will be G2071 to him G846 a G1519 Father G3962 , and G2532 he G846 shall be G2071 to me G3427 a G1519 Son G5207 ?
|
|
6. And again, when he leads the first-born into the world, he says: "Let all the angels of God worship him."
|
6. And G1161 again G3825 , when G3752 he bringeth in G1521 the G3588 first begotten G4416 into G1519 the G3588 world G3625 , he saith G3004 , And G2532 let all G3956 the angels G32 of God G2316 worship G4352 him G846 .
|
|
7. Of the angels he says: "He makes his angels winds and his ministers a fiery flame";
|
7. And G2532 of the angels G4314 G3588 G32 he saith G3004 , Who maketh G4160 his G848 angels G32 spirits G4151 , and G2532 his G848 ministers G3011 a flame G5395 of fire G4442 .
|
|
8. but of the Son: "Your throne, O God, stands forever and ever; and a righteous scepter is the scepter of your kingdom.
|
8. But G1161 unto G4314 the G3588 Son G5207 he saith, Thy G4675 throne G2362 , O God G2316 , is forever and ever G1519 G165 G165 : a scepter G4464 of righteousness G2118 is the G3588 scepter G4464 of thy G4675 kingdom G932 .
|
|
9. You loved justice and hated wickedness; therefore God, your God, anointed you with the oil of gladness above your companions";
|
9. Thou hast loved G25 righteousness G1343 , and G2532 hated G3404 iniquity G458 ; therefore G1223 G5124 God G2316 , even thy G4675 God G2316 , hath anointed G5548 thee G4571 with the oil G1637 of gladness G20 above G3844 thy G4675 fellows G3353 .
|
|
10. and: "At the beginning, O Lord, you established the earth, and the heavens are the works of your hands.
|
10. And G2532 , Thou G4771 , Lord G2962 , in G2596 the beginning G746 hast laid the foundation G2311 of the G3588 earth G1093 ; and G2532 the G3588 heavens G3772 are G1526 the works G2041 of thine G4675 hands G5495 :
|
|
11. They will perish, but you remain; and they will all grow old like a garment.
|
11. They G846 shall perish G622 ; but G1161 thou G4771 remainest G1265 ; and G2532 they all G3956 shall wax old G3822 as G5613 doth a garment G2440 ;
|
|
12. You will roll them up like a cloak, and like a garment they will be changed. But you are the same, and your years will have no end."
|
12. And G2532 as G5616 a vesture G4018 shalt thou fold them up G1667 G846 , and G2532 they shall be changed G236 : but G1161 thou G4771 art G1488 the G3588 same G846 , and G2532 thy G4675 years G2094 shall not G3756 fail G1587 .
|
|
13. But to which of the angels has he ever said: "Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies your footstool"?
|
13. But G1161 to G4314 which G5101 of the G3588 angels G32 said G2046 he at any time G4218 , Sit G2521 on G1537 my G3450 right hand G1188 , until G2193 G302 I make G5087 thine G4675 enemies G2190 thy footstool G5286 G4675 G4228 ?
|
|
14. Are they not all ministering spirits sent to serve, for the sake of those who are to inherit salvation?
|
14. Are G1526 they not G3780 all G3956 ministering G3010 spirits G4151 , sent forth G649 to minister G1519 G1248 for G1223 them who shall be G3195 heirs G2816 of salvation G4991 ?
