1In times past the word of God came to our fathers through the prophets, in different parts and in different ways;
1God, who, at sundry times and in divers manners, spoke in times past to the fathers by the prophets, last of all,
2But now, at the end of these days, it has come to us through his Son, to whom he has given all things for a heritage, and through whom he made the order of the generations;
2In these days, hath spoken to us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the world.
3Who, being the outshining of his glory, the true image of his substance, supporting all things by the word of his power, having given himself as an offering making clean from sins, took his seat at the right hand of God in heaven;
3Who being the brightness of his glory and the figure of his substance and upholding all things by the word of his power, making purgation of sins, sitteth on the right hand of the majesty on high:
4Having become by so much better than the angels, as the name which is his heritage is more noble than theirs.
4Being made so much better than the angels as he hath inherited a more excellent name than they.
5To which of the angels did God say at any time, You are my Son, this day I have given you being? or, I will be his Father, and he will be my Son?
5For to which of the angels hath he said at any time: Thou art my Son, to-day have I begotten thee? And again: I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?
6And again, when he is sending his only Son into the world, he says, Let all the angels of God give him worship.
6And again, when he bringeth in the first begotten into the world, he saith: And let all the angels of God adore him.
7And of the angels he says, Who makes his angels winds, and his servants flames of fire:
7And to the angels indeed he saith: He that maketh his angels spirits and his ministers a flame of fire.
8But of the Son he says, Your seat of power, O God, is for ever and ever; and the rod of your kingdom is a rod of righteousness.
8But to the Son: Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of justice is the sceptre of thy kingdom.
9You have been a lover of righteousness and a hater of evil; and so God, your God, has put the oil of joy on your head more than on the heads of those who are with you.
9Thou hast loved justice and hated iniquity: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
10You, Lord, at the first did put the earth on its base, and the heavens are the works of your hands:
10And: Thou in the beginning, O Lord, didst found the earth: and the works of thy hands are the heavens.
11They will come to their end; but you are for ever; they will become old as a robe;
11They shall perish: but thou shalt continue: and they shall all grow old as a garment.
12They will be rolled up like a cloth, even like a robe, and they will be changed: but you are the same and your years will have no end.
12And as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shalt be changed. But thou art the selfsame: and thy years shall not fail.
