Hebrews 1

DBY

NCV

1 God having spoken in many parts and in many ways formerly to the fathers in the prophets,
1 In the past God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets many times and in many different ways.
2 at the end of these days has spoken to us in [the person of the] Son, whom he has established heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
2 But now in these last days God has spoken to us through his Son. God has chosen his Son to own all things, and through him he made the world.
3 who being [the] effulgence of his glory and [the] expression of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, having made [by himself] the purification of sins, set himself down on the right hand of the greatness on high,
3 The Son reflects the glory of God and shows exactly what God is like. He holds everything together with his powerful word. When the Son made people clean from their sins, he sat down at the right side of God, the Great One in heaven.
4 taking a place by so much better than the angels, as he inherits a name more excellent than they.
4 The Son became much greater than the angels, and God gave him a name that is much greater than theirs.
5 For to which of the angels said he ever, *Thou* art my Son: this day have *I* begotten thee? and again, *I* will be to him for father, and *he* shall be to me for son?
5 This is because God never said to any of the angels, "You are my Son. Today I have become your Father." Nor did God say of any angel, "I will be his Father, and he will be my Son."
6 and again, when he brings in the firstborn into the habitable world, he says, And let all God's angels worship him.
6 And when God brings his firstborn Son into the world, he says, "Let all God's angels worship him."
7 And as to the angels he says, Who makes his angels spirits and his ministers a flame of fire;
7 This is what God said about the angels: "God makes his angels become like winds. He makes his servants become like flames of fire."
8 but as to the Son, Thy throne, O God, [is] to the age of the age, and a sceptre of uprightness [is] the sceptre of thy kingdom.
8 But God said this about his Son: "God, your throne will last forever and ever. You will rule your kingdom with fairness.
9 Thou hast loved righteousness and hast hated lawlessness; therefore God, thy God, has anointed thee with oil of gladness above thy companions.
9 You love right and hate evil, so God has chosen you from among your friends; he has set you apart with much joy."
10 And, *Thou* in the beginning, Lord, hast founded the earth, and works of thy hands are the heavens.
10 God also says, "Lord, in the beginning you made the earth, and your hands made the skies.
11 They shall perish, but *thou* continuest still; and they all shall grow old as a garment,
11 They will be destroyed, but you will remain. They will all wear out like clothes.
12 and as a covering shalt thou roll them up, and they shall be changed; but *thou* art the Same, and thy years shall not fail.
12 You will fold them like a coat. And, like clothes, you will change them. But you never change, and your life will never end."
13 But as to which of the angels said he ever, Sit at my right hand until I put thine enemies [as] footstool of thy feet?
13 And God never said this to an angel: "Sit by me at my right side until I put your enemies under your control."
14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent out for service on account of those who shall inherit salvation?
14 All the angels are spirits who serve God and are sent to help those who will receive salvation.
