New International Version NIV
1 Πολυμερῶς καὶ πολυτρόπως πάλαι ὁ θεὸς λαλήσας τοῖς πατράσιν ἐν τοῖς προφήταις
1
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 ἐποίησεν τοὺς αἰῶνας ⸃·
2
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, δι᾽ αὑτοῦ ⸃ καθαρισμὸν τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν ποιησάμενος ⸃ ἐκάθισεν ἐν δεξιᾷ τῆς μεγαλωσύνης ἐν ὑψηλοῖς,
3
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.
4
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;
5
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.
6
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 ·
7
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 θεὸς εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τοῦ αἰῶνος, καὶ ἡ ῥάβδος τῆς εὐθύτητος ⸃ ῥάβδος τῆς βασιλείας σου.
8
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 ·
9
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 ·
10
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,
11
They will perish, but you remain; they will all wear out like a garment.
12 καὶ ὡσεὶ περιβόλαιον ἑλίξεις αὐτούς, ὡς ἱμάτιον ⸃ καὶ ἀλλαγήσονται · σὺ δὲ ὁ αὐτὸς εἶ, καὶ τὰ ἔτη σου οὐκ ἐκλείψουσιν.
12
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;
13
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;
14
Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?
