Hebrews 1

1God, having of old time spoken unto the fathers in the prophets by divers portions and in divers manners,

1In many parts, and many ways, God of old having spoken to the fathers in the prophets,

1God, who, at sundry times and in divers manners, spoke in times past to the fathers by the prophets, last of all,

2hath at the end of these days spoken unto us in his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the worlds;

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;

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 effulgence of his glory, and the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had made purification of sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;

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,

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 he hath inherited a more excellent name than they.

4having become so much better than the messengers, as he did inherit a more excellent name than they.

4Being made so much better than the angels as he hath inherited a more excellent name than they.

5For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, This day have I begotten thee? and again, I will be to him a Father, And he shall be to me a 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?'

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 when he again bringeth in the firstborn into the world he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.

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;'

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 saith, Who maketh his angels winds, And his ministers a flame of fire:

7and unto the messengers, indeed, He saith, `Who is making His messengers spirits, and His ministers a flame 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 Sonhe saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever; And the sceptre of uprightness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.

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;

8But to the Son: Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of justice is the sceptre of thy kingdom.

9Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; Therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee With the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

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;'

9Thou hast loved justice and hated iniquity: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

10And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning didst lay the foundation of the earth, And the heavens are the works of thy hands:

10and, `Thou, at the beginning, Lord, the earth didst found, and a work of thy hands are the heavens;

10And: Thou in the beginning, O Lord, didst found the earth: and the works of thy hands are the heavens.

11They shall perish; but thou continuest: And they all shall wax old as doth a garment;

11these shall perish, and Thou dost remain, and all, as a garment, shall become old,

11They shall perish: but thou shalt continue: and they shall all grow old as a garment.

12And as a mantle shalt thou roll them up, As a garment, and they shall be changed: But thou art the same, And thy years shall not fail.

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.'

12And as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shalt be changed. But thou art the selfsame: and thy years shall not fail.

13But of which of the angels hath he said at any time, Sit thou on my right hand, Till I make thine enemies the footstool of thy feet?

13And unto which of the messengers said He ever, `Sit at My right hand, till I may make thine enemies thy footstool?'

13But to which of the angels said he at any time: Sit on my right hand, until I make thy enemies thy footstool?

14Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to do service for the sake of them that shall inherit salvation?

14are they not all spirits of service--for ministration being sent forth because of those about to inherit salvation?

14Are they not all ministering spirits, sent to minister for them who shall receive the inheritance of salvation?
