 神藉著兒子說話

 神在古時候,曾經多次用種種方法,藉著先知向我們的祖先說話; 在這末後的日子,卻藉著他的兒子向我們說話。 神已經立他作萬有的承受者,並且藉著他創造了宇宙(“宇宙”或譯:“諸世界”或“眾世代”)。 他是 神榮耀的光輝,是 神本質的真象,用自己帶有能力的話掌管萬有;他作成了潔淨罪惡的事,就坐在高天至尊者的右邊。 他所承受的名比天使的名更尊貴,所以他遠比天使崇高。

 神的兒子比天使崇高

 神曾對哪一個天使說過:

“你是我的兒子,

我今日生了你”呢?

或者說:

“我要作他的父親,

他要作我的兒子”呢?

 神差遣長子到世上來的時候,又說:

“ 神所有的天使都要拜他。”

論到天使,說:

“ 神以他的天使為風,

以他的僕役為火燄。”

但是論到兒子,卻說:

“ 神啊!你的寶座是永永遠遠的,

你國的權杖,是公平的權杖。

你喜愛公義,恨惡不法,

所以, 神,就是你的 神,

用喜樂的油膏抹你,勝過膏抹你的同伴。”

10 又說:

“主啊!你起初立了地的根基,

天也是你手的工作。

11 天地都要毀滅,你卻長存;

天地都要像衣服一樣漸漸殘舊,

12 你要把天地像外套一樣捲起來,

天地就像衣服一樣被更換;

只有你永不改變,

你的年數也沒有窮盡。”

13  神可曾向哪一個天使說:

“你坐在我的右邊,

等我使你的仇敵作你的腳凳”呢?

14 天使不都是服役的靈,奉差遣為那些要承受救恩的人效勞嗎?

God’s Final Word in His Son

God, having (A)spoken long ago to the fathers in (B)the prophets in many portions and (C)in many ways, [a](D)in these last days (E)spoke to us [b]in (F)His Son, whom He appointed (G)heir of all things, (H)through whom also He made the [c](I)worlds, who is the radiance of His glory and the exact (J)representation of His nature, and [d](K)upholds all things by the word of His power; who, having accomplished (L)cleansing for sins, (M)sat down at the right hand of the (N)Majesty on high, having become so much better than the angels, as He has inherited a more excellent (O)name than they.

For to which of the angels did He ever say,

(P)You are My Son,
Today I have begotten You”?

And again,

(Q)I will be a Father to Him
And He shall be a Son to Me”?

And [e]when He again (R)brings the firstborn into [f](S)the world, He says,

(T)And let all the angels of God worship Him.”

And of the angels He says,

(U)Who makes His angels winds,
And His ministers flaming fire.”

But of the Son He says,

(V)Your throne, O God, is forever and ever,
And the scepter of uprightness is the scepter of [g]Your kingdom.
(W)You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness;
(X)Therefore God, Your God, has (Y)anointed You
With the oil of gladness above Your companions.”

10 And,

(Z)You, Lord, in the beginning founded the earth,
And the heavens are the works of Your hands;
11 (AA)They will perish, but You remain;
(AB)And they all will wear out like a garment,
12 (AC)And like a mantle You will roll them up;
Like a garment they will also be changed.
But You are (AD)the same,
And Your years will not come to an end.”

13 But to which of the angels has He ever said,

(AE)Sit at My right hand,
(AF)Until I put Your enemies
As a footstool for Your feet”?

14 Are they not all (AG)ministering spirits, sent to render service for the sake of those who will (AH)inherit (AI)salvation?

God’s Final Word: His Son

In the past God spoke(A) to our ancestors through the prophets(B) at many times and in various ways,(C) but in these last days(D) he has spoken to us by his Son,(E) whom he appointed heir(F) of all things, and through whom(G) also he made the universe.(H) The Son is the radiance of God’s glory(I) and the exact representation of his being,(J) sustaining all things(K) by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins,(L) he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.(M) So he became as much superior to the angels as the name he has inherited is superior to theirs.(N)

The Son Superior to Angels

For to which of the angels did God ever say,

“You are my Son;
    today I have become your Father”[a]?(O)

Or again,

“I will be his Father,
    and he will be my Son”[b]?(P)

And again, when God brings his firstborn(Q) into the world,(R) he says,

“Let all God’s angels worship him.”[c](S)

In speaking of the angels he says,

“He makes his angels spirits,
    and his servants flames of fire.”[d](T)

But about the Son he says,

“Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever;(U)
    a scepter of justice will be the scepter of your kingdom.
You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness;
    therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions(V)
    by anointing you with the oil(W) of joy.”[e](X)

10 He also says,

“In the beginning, Lord, you laid the foundations of the earth,
    and the heavens are the work of your hands.(Y)
11 They will perish, but you remain;
    they will all wear out like a garment.(Z)
12 You will roll them up like a robe;
    like a garment they will be changed.
But you remain the same,(AA)
    and your years will never end.”[f](AB)

13 To which of the angels did God ever say,

“Sit at my right hand(AC)
    until I make your enemies
    a footstool(AD) for your feet”[g]?(AE)

14 Are not all angels ministering spirits(AF) sent to serve those who will inherit(AG) salvation?(AH)
