1In times past the word of God came to our fathers through the prophets, in different parts and in different ways;
1In many parts, and many ways, God of old having spoken to the fathers in the prophets,
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 last days did speak to us in a Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom also He did make the ages;
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 the glory, and the impress of His subsistence, bearing up also the all things by the saying of his might--through himself having made a cleansing of our sins, sat down at the right hand of the greatness in the highest,
4Having become by so much better than the angels, as the name which is his heritage is more noble than theirs.
4having become so much better than the messengers, as he did inherit 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 messengers said He ever, `My Son thou art--I to-day have begotten thee?' and again, `I will be to him for a father, and he shall be to Me for 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 when again He may bring in the first-born to the world, He saith, `And let them bow before him--all messengers of God;'
7And of the angels he says, Who makes his angels winds, and his servants flames of fire:
7and unto the messengers, indeed, He saith, `Who is making His messengers 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.
8and unto the Son: `Thy throne, O God, <FI>is<Fi> to the age of the age; a sceptre of righteousness <FI>is<Fi> the sceptre of thy reign;
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 didst love righteousness, and didst hate lawlessness; because of this did He anoint thee--God, thy God--with oil of gladness above thy partners;'
10You, Lord, at the first did put the earth on its base, and the heavens are the works of your hands:
10and, `Thou, at the beginning, Lord, the earth didst found, and a work of thy hands are the heavens;
11They will come to their end; but you are for ever; they will become old as a robe;
11these shall perish, and Thou dost remain, and all, as a garment, shall become old,
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 mantle Thou shall roll them together, and they shall be changed, and Thou art the same, and Thy years shall not fail.'
