1
Πολυμερῶς καὶ πολυτρόπως πάλαι ὁ Θεὸς λαλήσας τοῖς πατράσιν ἐν τοῖς προφήταις,
KJVGod, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
In the past God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets at many times and in various ways,
2
ἐπ' ἐσχάτου τῶν ἡμερῶν τούτων ἐλάλησεν ἡμῖν ἐν υἱῷ, ὃν ἔθηκεν κληρονόμον πάντων, δι' οὗ καὶ τοὺς αἰῶνας ἐποίησεν·
KJVHath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom also he made the universe.
3
ὃς ὢν ἀπαύγασμα τῆς δόξης καὶ χαρακτὴρ τῆς ὑποστάσεως αὐτοῦ, φέρων τε τὰ πάντα τῷ ῥήματι τῆς δυνάμεως αὐτοῦ, δι' ἑαυτοῦ καθαρισμὸν ποιησάμενος τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν ἡμῶν, ἐκάθισεν ἐν δεξιᾷ τῆς μεγαλωσύνης ἐν ὑψηλοῖς·
KJVWho being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.
4
τοσούτῳ κρείττων γενόμενος τῶν ἀγγέλων, ὅσῳ διαφορώτερον παρ' αὐτοὺς κεκληρονόμηκεν ὄνομα.
KJVBeing made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.
So he became as much superior to the angels as the name he has inherited is superior to theirs.
5
Τίνι γὰρ εἶπέν ποτε τῶν ἀγγέλων, Υἱός μου εἶ σύ, ἐγὼ σήμερον γεγέννηκά σε; Καὶ πάλιν, Ἐγὼ ἔσομαι αὐτῷ εἰς Πατέρα, καὶ αὐτὸς ἔσται μοι εἰς υἱόν;
KJVFor unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?
For to which of the angels did God ever say, You are my Son; today I have become your Father? Or again, I will be his Father, and he will be my Son?
6
Ὅταν δὲ πάλιν εἰσαγάγῃ τὸν πρωτότοκον εἰς τὴν οἰκουμένην λέγει, Καὶ προσκυνησάτωσαν αὐτῷ πάντες ἄγγελοι Θεοῦ.
KJVAnd again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.
And again, when God brings his firstborn into the world, he says, Let all God's angels worship him.
7
Καὶ πρὸς μὲν τοὺς ἀγγέλους λέγει, Ὁ ποιῶν τοὺς ἀγγέλους αὐτοῦ πνεύματα, καὶ τοὺς λειτουργοὺς αὐτοῦ πυρὸς φλόγα·
KJVAnd of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.
In speaking of the angels he says, He makes his angels spirits, and his servants flames of fire.
8
πρὸς δὲ τὸν υἱόν, Ὁ θρόνος σου, ὁ Θεός, εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τοῦ αἰῶνος· ῥάβδος εὐθύτητος ἡ ῥάβδος τῆς βασιλείας σου.
KJVBut unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.
But about the Son he says, Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever; a scepter of justice will be the scepter of your kingdom.
9
Ἠγάπησας δικαιοσύνην, καὶ ἐμίσησας ἀνομίαν· διὰ τοῦτο ἔχρισέν σε ὁ Θεός, ὁ Θεός σου, ἔλαιον ἀγαλλιάσεως παρὰ τοὺς μετόχους σου.
KJVThou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions by anointing you with the oil of joy.
10
Καί, Σὺ κατ' ἀρχάς, Κύριε, τὴν γῆν ἐθεμελίωσας, καὶ ἔργα τῶν χειρῶν σού εἰσιν οἱ οὐρανοί·
KJVAnd, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands:
He also says, In the beginning, Lord, you laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands.
11
αὐτοὶ ἀπολοῦνται, σὺ δὲ διαμένεις· καὶ πάντες ὡς ἱμάτιον παλαιωθήσονται,
KJVThey shall perish; but thou remainest; and they all shall wax old as doth a garment;
They will perish, but you remain; they will all wear out like a garment.
12
καὶ ὡσεὶ περιβόλαιον ἑλίξεις αὐτούς, καὶ ἀλλαγήσονται· σὺ δὲ ὁ αὐτὸς εἶ, καὶ τὰ ἔτη σου οὐκ ἐκλείψουσιν.
KJVAnd as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail.
You will roll them up like a robe; like a garment they will be changed. But you remain the same, and your years will never end.
13
Πρὸς τίνα δὲ τῶν ἀγγέλων εἴρηκέν ποτε, Κάθου ἐκ δεξιῶν μου, ἕως ἂν θῶ τοὺς ἐχθρούς σου ὑποπόδιον τῶν ποδῶν σου;
KJVBut to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool?
To which of the angels did God ever say, Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet?
14
Οὐχὶ πάντες εἰσὶν λειτουργικὰ πνεύματα, εἰς διακονίαν ἀποστελλόμενα διὰ τοὺς μέλλοντας κληρονομεῖν σωτηρίαν;
KJVAre they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?
Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?
