希伯來書 1

上帝藉著他兒子說話

1 上帝既在古時藉著眾先知多次多方地曉諭列祖， 2 就在這末世藉著他兒子曉諭我們；又早已立他為承受萬有的，也曾藉著他創造諸世界。 3 他是上帝榮耀所發的光輝，是上帝本體的真像，常用他權能的命令托住萬有。他洗淨了人的罪，就坐在高天至大者的右邊。 4 他所承受的名，既比天使的名更尊貴，就遠超過天使。

兒子遠超過天使

5 所有的天使，上帝從來對哪一個說： 你是我的兒子， 我今日生你？ 又指著哪一個說： 我要作他的父， 他要作我的子？

6 再者，上帝使長子到世上來的時候t，就說： 上帝的使者都要拜他。

7 論到使者，又說： 上帝以風為使者， 以火焰為僕役；

8 論到子卻說： 上帝啊，你的寶座是永永遠遠的； 你的國權是正直的。

9 你喜愛公義，恨惡罪惡； 所以上帝，就是你的上帝，用喜樂油膏你， 勝過膏你的同伴；

10 又說：主啊，你起初立了地的根基； 天也是你手所造的。

11 天地都要滅沒，你卻要長存。 天地都要像衣服漸漸舊了；

12 你要將天地捲起來，像一件外衣， 天地就都改變了。 惟有你永不改變； 你的年數沒有窮盡。

13 所有的天使，上帝從來對哪一個說： 你坐在我的右邊， 等我使你仇敵作你的腳凳？

14 天使豈不都是服役的靈、奉差遣為那將要承受救恩的人效力嗎？

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?
