希伯來書 1
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
劃時代的啟示
1 在古代，上帝曾藉著先知以各種方式多次向我們的祖先說話； 2 在這世界的末期，祂又藉著自己的兒子親自向我們說話。上帝早已立祂承受萬物，並藉著祂創造了宇宙萬物。 3 祂正是上帝榮耀的光輝，是上帝本體的真像。祂用自己充滿能力的話語維繫萬物。祂洗淨了世人的罪之後，便坐在天上至高上帝的右邊。 4 祂既承受了比天使更高的名分，就遠超越天使。
5 上帝從未對任何一個天使說：
「你是我的兒子，我今日成為你父親。」
或說：
「我要作你的父親，你要作我的兒子。」
6 上帝差遣祂的長子到世上來時，說：
「上帝的天使都要敬拜祂。」
7 上帝提到天使的時候，也只是說：
「上帝使祂的天使成為風，使祂的僕役成為火焰。」
8 但論到祂的兒子，祂卻說：
「上帝啊，你的寶座永遠長存，
你以公義的杖執掌王權。
9 你喜愛公義，憎惡邪惡。
所以上帝，你的上帝，
用喜樂之油膏你，使你超過同伴。」
10 此外又說：
「主啊，太初你奠立大地的根基，
親手創造諸天。
11 天地都要消亡，但你永遠長存。
天地都會像衣服漸漸破舊，
12 你要像捲外衣一樣把天地捲起來。
天地將如衣服一樣被更換，
但你永遠不變，
你的年日永無窮盡。」
13 上帝從未對任何一個天使說：
「你坐在我的右邊，
等我使你的仇敵成為你的腳凳。」
14 天使豈不都是服役的靈嗎？他們奉差遣，豈不是去為那些將要承受救恩的人服務嗎？
Hebrews 1
Easy-to-Read Version
God Has Spoken Through His Son
1 In the past God spoke to our people through the prophets. He spoke to them many times and in many different ways. 2 And now in these last days, God has spoken to us again through his Son. He made the whole world through his Son. And he has chosen his Son to have all things. 3 The Son shows the glory of God. He is a perfect copy of God’s nature, and he holds everything together by his powerful command. The Son made people clean from their sins. Then he sat down at the right side[a] of God, the Great One in heaven. 4 The Son became much greater than the angels, and God gave him a name that is much greater than any of their names.
5 God never said this to any of the angels:
“You are my Son.
Today I have become your Father.” (A)
God also never said about an angel,
“I will be his Father,
and he will be my son.” (B)
6 And then, when God presents his firstborn Son to the world,[b] he says,
“Let all God’s angels worship him.”[c]
7 This is what God said about the angels:
8 But this is what he said about his Son:
“God, your kingdom will last forever and ever.
You use your authority for justice.
9 You love what is right and hate what is wrong.
So God, your God, has chosen you,
giving you more honor and joy than anyone like you.” (D)
10 God also said,
“O Lord, in the beginning you made the earth,
and your hands made the sky.
11 These things will disappear, but you will stay.
They will all wear out like old clothes.
12 You will fold them up like a coat,
and they will be changed like clothes.
But you never change,
and your life will never end.” (E)
13 And God never said this to an angel:
14 All the angels are spirits who serve God and are sent to help those who will receive salvation.

Hebrews 1
King James Version
1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
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 on the right hand of the Majesty on high:
4 Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.
5 For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?
6 And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.
7 And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.
8 But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.
9 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
10 And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands:
11 They shall perish; but thou remainest; and they all shall wax old as doth a garment;
12 And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail.
13 But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool?
14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?
