希伯來書 1

　神藉著兒子說話

1 　神在古時候，曾經多次用種種方法，藉著先知向我們的祖先說話；2 在這末後的日子，卻藉著他的兒子向我們說話。　神已經立他作萬有的承受者，並且藉著他創造了宇宙。3 他是　神榮耀的光輝，是　神本質的真象，用自己帶有能力的話掌管萬有；他作成了潔淨罪惡的事，就坐在高天至尊者的右邊。

4 他所承受的名比天使的名更尊貴，所以他遠比天使崇高。
　神的兒子比天使崇高
5 　神曾對哪一個天使說過：“你是我的兒子，
我今日生了你”呢？
或者說：
“我要作他的父親，
他要作我的兒子”呢？
6 　神差遣長子到世上來的時候，又說：“　神所有的天使都要拜他。”
7 論到天使，說：“　神以他的天使為風，
以他的僕役為火燄。”
8 但是論到兒子，卻說：“　神啊！你的寶座是永永遠遠的，
你國的權杖，是公平的權杖。
9 你喜愛公義，恨惡不法，所以，　神，就是你的　神，
用喜樂的油膏抹你，勝過膏抹 你的同伴。”
10 又說：“主啊！你起初立了地的根基，
天也是你手的工作。
11 天地都要毀滅，你卻長存；天地都要像衣服一樣漸漸殘舊，
12 你要把天地像外套一樣捲起來，天地就像衣服一樣被更換；
只有你永不改變，
你的年數也沒有窮盡。”
13 　神可曾向哪一個天使說：“你坐在我的右邊，
等我使你的仇敵作你的腳凳”呢？
14 天使不都是服役的靈，奉差遣為那些要承受救恩的人效勞嗎？

Hebrews 1

Introduction: God Has Spoken Fully and Finally in His Son

1 After God spoke long agot in various portionst and in various wayst to our ancestorst through the prophets,2 in these last days he has spoken to us in a son,ts whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he created the world.t3 The Son ist the radiance of his glory and the representation of his essence, and he sustains all things by his powerful word,t and so when he had accomplished cleansing for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high.s

4 Thus he becamet so far better than the angels asts he has inherited a name superior to theirs.

The Son Is Superior to Angels

5 For to which of the angels did Godt ever say, “You are my son! Today I have fathered you”?ts And in another placet he says,t “I will be his father and he will be my son.”ts6 But when he again bringst his firstborn into the world, he says, “Let all the angels of God worship him!”s7 And he sayss of the angels, “He makesthis angels spirits and his ministers a flame of fire,”s

8 but oft the Son he says,t
“Your throne, O God, is forever and ever,t
and a righteous sceptertis the scepter of your kingdom.

9 You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness.
So God, your God, has anointed you over your companionsswith the oil of rejoicing.”s

10 And,
“You founded the earth in the beginning, Lord,s
and the heavens are the works of your hands.

11 They will perish, but you continue.
And they will all grow old like a garment,

12 and like a robe you will fold them up
and like a garmentsssthey will be changed,
but you are the same and your years will never run out.”s
13 But to which of the angelss has he ever said, “Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet”?s

14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent out to serve thoset who will inherit salvation?
