Hebrews

神借着他儿子说话

1神既在古时借着众先知多次多方地晓谕列祖，

2就在这末世借着他儿子晓谕我们；又早已立他为承受万有的，也曾借着他创造诸世界。

3他是 神荣耀所发的光辉，是 神本体的真像，常用他权能的命令托住万有。他洗净了人的罪，就坐在高天至大者的右边。

4他所承受的名，既比天使的名更尊贵，就远超过天使。

儿子远超过天使

5所有的天使， 神从来对哪一个说：你是我的儿子， 我今日生你？又指着哪一个说：我要作他的父， 他要作我的子？

6再者， 神使长子到世上来的时候，就说：神的使者都要拜他。

7论到使者，又说：神以风为使者， 以火焰为仆役；

8论到子却说：神啊，你的宝座是永永远远的； 你的国权是正直的。

9你喜爱公义，恨恶罪恶； 所以 神，就是你的 神，用喜乐油膏你， 胜过膏你的同伴；

10又说：主啊，你起初立了地的根基； 天也是你手所造的。

11天地都要灭没，你却要长存。 天地都要像衣服渐渐旧了；

12你要将天地卷起来，像一件外衣， 天地就都改变了。 惟有你永不改变； 你的年数没有穷尽。

13所有的天使， 神从来对哪一个说：你坐在我的右边， 等我使你仇敌作你的脚凳？

14天使岂不都是服役的灵、奉差遣为那将要承受救恩的人效力吗？

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

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 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.

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

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

6And again, when he bringeth in the first begotten into the world, he saith: And let all the angels of God adore him.

7And to the angels indeed he saith: He that maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.

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

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 shalt continue: and they shall all grow old as a garment.

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

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 to minister for them, who shall receive the inheritance of salvation?
