The Latin Vulgate VUL
New King James Version NKJV
1 multifariam et multis modis olim Deus loquens patribus in prophetis
1
God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets,
2 novissime diebus istis locutus est nobis in Filio quem constituit heredem universorum per quem fecit et saecula
2
has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds;
3 qui cum sit splendor gloriae et figura substantiae eius portansque omnia verbo virtutis suae purgationem peccatorum faciens sedit ad dexteram Maiestatis in excelsis
3
who 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 at the right hand of the Majesty on high,
4 tanto melior angelis effectus quanto differentius prae illis nomen hereditavit
4
having become so much better than the angels, as He has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.
5 cui enim dixit aliquando angelorum Filius meus es tu ego hodie genui te et rursum ego ero illi in Patrem et ipse erit mihi in Filium
5
For to which of the angels did He ever say: "You are My Son, Today I have begotten You"? And again: "I will be to Him a Father, And He shall be to Me a Son"?
6 et cum iterum introducit primogenitum in orbem terrae dicit et adorent eum omnes angeli Dei
6
But when He again brings the firstborn into the world, He says: "Let all the angels of God worship Him."
7 et ad angelos quidem dicit qui facit angelos suos spiritus et ministros suos flammam ignis
7
And of the angels He says: "Who makes His angels spirits And His ministers a flame of fire."
8 ad Filium autem thronus tuus Deus in saeculum saeculi et virga aequitatis virga regni tui
8
But to the Son He says: "Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; A scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your Kingdom.
9 dilexisti iustitiam et odisti iniquitatem propterea unxit te Deus Deus tuus oleo exultationis prae participibus tuis
9
You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness; Therefore God, Your God, has anointed You With the oil of gladness more than Your companions."
10 et tu in principio Domine terram fundasti et opera manuum tuarum sunt caeli
10
And: "You, Lord, in the beginning laid the foundation of the earth, And the heavens are the work of Your hands.
11 ipsi peribunt tu autem permanebis et omnes ut vestimentum veterescent
11
They will perish, but You remain; And they will all grow old like a garment;
12 et velut amictum involves eos et mutabuntur tu autem idem es et anni tui non deficient
12
Like a cloak You will fold them up, And they will be changed. But You are the same, And Your years will not fail."
13 ad quem autem angelorum dixit aliquando sede a dextris meis quoadusque ponam inimicos tuos scabillum pedum tuorum
13
But to which of the angels has He ever said: "Sit at My right hand, Till I make Your enemies Your footstool"?
14 nonne omnes sunt administratorii spiritus in ministerium missi propter eos qui hereditatem capient salutis
14
Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for those who will inherit salvation?
