希伯来书 1
圣子的本质
1 过去,神在不同的时代,用不同的方式,藉着先知们对祖先说话,2 但在末后的这些日子里t,神藉着他的t儿子向我们说话。神预定了他为万有的继承人,也藉着他造了宇宙t。3 他是神荣耀的光辉,是神本体的真像,以自己大能的话语托住万有。他成就了洁净罪孽的事t,就坐在高天至尊者的右边。4 他远比天使更美好,就像他所继承的名比天使的名更尊贵。
圣子高过天使
5 从前神到底对哪一位天使说过“你是我的儿子,我今天生了你”t,又说“我将成为他的父亲,他成为我的儿子”t呢?6 不过当神再次带领长子t进入世界的时候却说:“神所有的天使都当敬拜他。”t
7 关于天使,他确实说:
“神使他的天使为风,
使他的仆役为烈火。”t
8 但是关于儿子,他却说:
“神哪,你的宝座是永永远远的;
你国度的权杖是正义的权杖。
9 你爱公义,恨罪恶t,
为此,神——你的神用喜乐的油来膏立你,
而不膏立你的同伴。”t
10 他又说:
“主啊,你在起初立定了大地的根基,
诸天也是你手所造的。
11 天地t将要毁灭,你却继续存留;
天地都要像衣服那样渐渐破旧。
12 你将要把天地像外衣那样卷起来,
天地也要像衣服那样t被更换;
你却永不改变,
你的岁月没有穷尽。”t
13 从前神到底对哪一位天使说过
:“你坐在我的右边,
等我把你的敌人放在你的脚下做脚凳”t呢?
14 难道所有的天使不都是服事的灵、奉差派服事那些将要继承救恩的人吗?
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?
