Hebrews 1

The Complete Jewish Bible CJB

1 In days gone by, God spoke in many and varied ways to the Fathers through the prophets.

2 But now, in the acharit-hayamim, he has spoken to us through his Son, to whom he has given ownership of everything and through whom he created the universe.

3 This Son is the radiance of the Sh'khinah, the very expression of God's essence, upholding all that exists by his powerful word; and after he had, through himself, made purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of HaG'dulah BaM'romim.

4 So he has become much better than angels, and the name God has given him is superior to theirs.

5 For to which of the angels did God ever say, "You are my Son; today I have become your Father"? Also, God never said of any angel, "I will be his Father, and he will be my Son."

6 And again, when God brings his Firstborn into the world, he says, "Let all God's angels worship him."

7 Indeed, when speaking of angels, he says, ". . . who makes his angels winds and his servants fiery flames";

8 but to the Son, he says, "Your throne, O God, will last forever and ever; you rule your Kingdom with a scepter of equity;

9 you have loved righteousness and hated wickedness. Therefore, O God, your God has anointed you with the oil of joy in preference to your companions";

10 and, "In the beginning, Lord, you laid the foundations of the earth; heaven is the work of your hands.

11 They will vanish, but you will remain; like clothing, they will all grow old;

12 and you will fold them up like a coat. Yes, they will be changed like clothing, but you remain the same, your years will never end."

13 Moreover, to which of the angels has he ever said, "Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet"?

14 Aren't they all merely spirits who serve, sent out to help those whom God will deliver?

The Bible in Basic English BBE

1 In times past the word of God came to our fathers through the prophets, in different parts and in different ways;

2 But now, at the end of these days, it has come to us through his Son, to whom he has given all things for a heritage, and through whom he made the order of the generations;

3 Who, being the outshining of his glory, the true image of his substance, supporting all things by the word of his power, having given himself as an offering making clean from sins, took his seat at the right hand of God in heaven;

4 Having become by so much better than the angels, as the name which is his heritage is more noble than theirs.

5 To which of the angels did God say at any time, You are my Son, this day I have given you being? or, I will be his Father, and he will be my Son?

6 And again, when he is sending his only Son into the world, he says, Let all the angels of God give him worship.

7 And of the angels he says, Who makes his angels winds, and his servants flames of fire:

8 But of the Son he says, Your seat of power, O God, is for ever and ever; and the rod of your kingdom is a rod of righteousness.

9 You have been a lover of righteousness and a hater of evil; and so God, your God, has put the oil of joy on your head more than on the heads of those who are with you.

10 You, Lord, at the first did put the earth on its base, and the heavens are the works of your hands:

11 They will come to their end; but you are for ever; they will become old as a robe;

12 They will be rolled up like a cloth, even like a robe, and they will be changed: but you are the same and your years will have no end.

13 But of which of the angels has he said at any time, Take your seat at my right hand till I put all those who are against you under your feet?

14 Are they not all helping spirits, who are sent out as servants to those whose heritage will be salvation?
