1:1 The son represents God’s splendour

1 Long ago, God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets in many different circumstances and in many different ways, 2 but in these last days he spoke to us through his son who he appointed to inherit everything. It was also through him that he made the different eras—3 through the son who radiates the father’s splendour and represents his reality. The son bears everything by the message of his power, and after having made a way to be purified from our sins, he sat down in heaven next to God in the seat of the second-in-command.

1 Many _ways and many _ways long _ago, the god, having _spoken to _the fathers in the prophets 2 in the_last the days these, spoke to _us by ^his_son, whom he _appointed heir of _all things, through whom also he _made the ages, 3 who being the_radiance of _his glory and the_representation of _the reality of _him, and bearing the things all by _the message of _the power of _him, the_purification of_ the _sins having _made, sat _down at the_right hand of _the majesty on high.

1:4 The son is greater than the angels

4 By having become so much better than God’s messengers, he inherited a greater reputation than them, 5 because which of the messengers was told even once by God:[ref]

‘You are my son;

I gave birth to you today.’

And again:

‘I will be a father to him,

And he will be a son to me.’

6 Then when God brings his firstborn son into the world he said:[ref]

‘Let all of God’s messengers bow down to him.’

7 On one hand he said to his messengers:[ref]

‘The one making his messengers winds,

and making his ministers a fiery flame.’

8 And on the other hand to his son he said:[ref]

‘God, your throne will last to the end of the ages;

The ruler of his kingdom is a ruler of justice.

9 You loved righteousness and hated lawlessness,

because of this, God, your God, honoured you

with gladness beyond what your companions received.’

10 He also said to his son:[ref]

‘Master, at the beginning you established the earth,

and you made the heavens with your hands.

11 They will perish but you will continue;

They will wear out like clothes do.

12 You will roll them up like a discarded dressing gown;

they’ll be changed like we change our clothes.

But you remain the same,

and you won’t get old and fragile.’

13 To which of his messengers did God say even once:[ref]

‘Sit in the seat of honour on my right,

until I can defeat your enemies

and use them as a stool for my feet’?

14 See, those messengers are just ministering spirits sent out to serve those people who will inherit salvation.

1:5: a Psa 2:7; b 2Sam 7:14; 1Ch 17:13.

1:6: Deu 32:43 (LXX).

1:7: Psa 104:4 (LXX).

1:8-9: Psa 45:6-7.

1:10-12: Psa 102:25-27 (LXX).

1:13: Psa 110:1.

4 By _so _much better than having _become the messengers, to _as _much _as more _special beside them, he _has _inherited a_name.
5 For/Because to _which he _said once of _the messengers:
son of _me are you, I today have _bore you?
And again:
I will _be to _him for father, and he will _be to _me for son?
6 And whenever again he _may _bring _in his firstborn into the inhabited _world, he _is _saying:
And let _prostrate before _him all the_messengers of_god.
7 And to on _one _hand the messengers he _is _saying:
The one making the messengers of _him spirits, and the ministers of _him of _fire a_flame, 8 on _the _other _hand to the son:
The throne of _you, the god, to the age of _the age, and the scepter of_ the _righteousness is the_scepter of _the kingdom of _him.
9 You _loved righteousness and you _hated lawlessness, because _of this, anointed you the god, the god of _you, with_the_olive _oil of _exultation beyond the companions of _you.
10 And:
You in the_beginnings, master, the earth established, and works of _the hands of _you are the heavens.
11 They will _be _perishing, but you are _continuing, and all like a_garment will _be _being _grown _old, 12 and as _if a_covering you _will _be _rolling _up them, like a_garment also they _will _be _being _changed, but you the same are, and the years of _you not will _be _failing.
13 To but which of _the messengers he _has _said once:
Be _sitting on the_right of _me, until wishfully I _may _set the enemies of _you, as_a_footstool for _the feet of _you?
14 Not all they _are ministering spirits, because/for service being _sent _out, because _of the ones going to _be _inheriting salvation?
