希伯來書 1

上帝藉著他兒子說話

1 古時候，上帝藉著眾先知多次多方向列祖說話， 2 末世，藉著他兒子向我們說話，又立他為承受萬有的，也藉著他創造宇宙。 3 他是上帝榮耀的光輝，是上帝本體的真像，常用他大能的命令托住萬有。他洗淨了人的罪，就坐在高天至大者的右邊。

上帝的兒子遠超過天使

4 他所承受的名比天使的名更尊貴，所以他遠比天使崇高。 5 上帝曾對哪一個天使說過： 「你是我的兒子； 我今日生了你」？ 又說過： 「我要作他的父； 他要作我的子」呢？

6 再者，上帝引領他長子t進入世界的時候，說： 「上帝的使者都要拜他。」

7 關於使者，他說： 「上帝以風為使者， 以火焰為僕役。」

8 關於子，他卻說： 「上帝啊，你的寶座是永永遠遠的； 你國度的權杖是正直的權杖。

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 他又說： 「主啊，你起初立了地的根基， 天也是你手所造的。

11 天地都會消滅，你卻長存； 天地都會像衣服漸漸舊了；

12 你要將天地捲起來，像捲一件外衣， 天地像衣服都會改變。 你卻永不改變； 你的年數沒有窮盡。」

13 上帝曾對哪一個天使說： 「你坐在我的右邊， 等我使你的仇敵作你的腳凳」？

14 眾天使不都是事奉的靈，奉差遣為那將要承受救恩的人服務的嗎？

HEBREWS 1

1 Long ago in many ways and at many times God's prophets spoke his message to our ancestors. 2 t But now at last, God sent his Son to bring his message to us. God created the universe by his Son, and everything will someday belong to the Son.

3 t God's Son has all the brightness of God's own glory and is like him in every way. By his own mighty word, he holds the universe together.
After the Son had washed away our sins, he sat down at the right sidet of the glorious God in heaven.

4 He had become much greater than the angels, and the name he was given is far greater than any of theirs.

God's Son Is Greater than Angels

5  t God has never said
to any of the angels,
“You are my Son, because today
I have become your Father!”
Neither has God said
to any of them,
“I will be his Father,
and he will be my Son!”

6  t When God brings his first-born Sont into the world, he commands all of his angels to worship him.

7  t And when God speaks about the angels, he says,
“I change my angels into wind
and my servants
into flaming fire.”

8  t But God says about his Son,
“You are God,
and you will rule
as King forever!
Yourt royal power
brings about justice.

9 You loved justice
and hated evil,
and so I, your God,
have chosen you.
I appointed you
and made you happier
than any of your friends.”

10  t The Scriptures also say,
“In the beginning, Lord,
you were the one
who laid the foundation
of the earth
and created the heavens.

11 They will all disappear
and wear out like clothes,
but you will last forever.

12 You will roll them up
like a robe
and change them
like a garment.
But you are always the same,
and you will live forever.”

13  t God never said to any
of the angels,
“Sit at my right side
until I make your enemies
into a footstool for you!”
14  t Angels are merely spirits sent to serve people who are going to be saved.
