 神藉著兒子說話

 神在古時候,曾經多次用種種方法,藉著先知向我們的祖先說話; 在這末後的日子,卻藉著他的兒子向我們說話。 神已經立他作萬有的承受者,並且藉著他創造了宇宙(“宇宙”或譯:“諸世界”或“眾世代”)。 他是 神榮耀的光輝,是 神本質的真象,用自己帶有能力的話掌管萬有;他作成了潔淨罪惡的事,就坐在高天至尊者的右邊。 他所承受的名比天使的名更尊貴,所以他遠比天使崇高。

 神的兒子比天使崇高

 神曾對哪一個天使說過:

“你是我的兒子,

我今日生了你”呢?

或者說:

“我要作他的父親,

他要作我的兒子”呢?

 神差遣長子到世上來的時候,又說:

“ 神所有的天使都要拜他。”

論到天使,說:

“ 神以他的天使為風,

以他的僕役為火燄。”

但是論到兒子,卻說:

“ 神啊!你的寶座是永永遠遠的,

你國的權杖,是公平的權杖。

你喜愛公義,恨惡不法,

所以, 神,就是你的 神,

用喜樂的油膏抹你,勝過膏抹你的同伴。”

10 又說:

“主啊!你起初立了地的根基,

天也是你手的工作。

11 天地都要毀滅,你卻長存;

天地都要像衣服一樣漸漸殘舊,

12 你要把天地像外套一樣捲起來,

天地就像衣服一樣被更換;

只有你永不改變,

你的年數也沒有窮盡。”

13  神可曾向哪一個天使說:

“你坐在我的右邊,

等我使你的仇敵作你的腳凳”呢?

14 天使不都是服役的靈,奉差遣為那些要承受救恩的人效勞嗎?

 神藉着他兒子說話

古時候, 神藉着眾先知多次多方向列祖說話, 末世,藉着他兒子向我們說話,又立他為承受萬有的,也藉着他創造宇宙。 他是 神榮耀的光輝,是 神本體的真像,常用他大能的命令托住萬有。他洗淨了人的罪,就坐在高天至大者的右邊。

 神的兒子遠超過天使

他所承受的名比天使的名更尊貴,所以他遠比天使崇高。  神曾對哪一個天使說過:

「你是我的兒子;
我今日生了你」?

又說過:

「我要作他的父;
他要作我的子」呢?

再者, 神引領他長子[a]進入世界的時候,說:

「 神的使者都要拜他。」

關於使者,他說:

「 神以風為使者,
以火焰為僕役。」

關於子,他卻說:

「 神啊,你的寶座是永永遠遠的;
你國度的權杖是正直的權杖。
你喜愛公義,恨惡罪惡;
所以 神,就是你的 神,用喜樂油膏你,
勝過膏你的同伴。」

10 他又說:

「主啊,你起初立了地的根基,
天也是你手所造的。
11 天地都會消滅,你卻長存;
天地都會像衣服漸漸舊了;
12 你要將天地捲起來,像捲一件外衣,
天地像衣服都會改變。
你卻永不改變;
你的年數沒有窮盡。」

13  神曾對哪一個天使說:

「你坐在我的右邊,
等我使你的仇敵作你的腳凳」?

14 眾天使不都是事奉的靈,奉差遣為那將要承受救恩的人服務的嗎?

  1. 1.6 「長子」或譯「首生者」。

God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,

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;

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:

Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.

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?

And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.

And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.

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.

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?

Ang Pulong sang Dios Paagi sa Iya Anak

Sang una nga panahon, madamo gid nga beses nga naghambal ang Dios sa aton mga katigulangan sa nagkalain-lain nga paagi, paagi sa mga propeta. Pero sa sining ulihi nga mga inadlaw, naghambal siya sa aton paagi sa iya Anak. Paagi sa iya, ginhimo sang Dios ang bug-os nga kalibutan, kag siya man ang iya ginpili nga mangin tag-iya sang tanan nga butang. Sa iya mismo makita ang gahom sang Dios nga nagasilak, kag kon ano ang Dios amo man siya. Siya amo ang nagabuot sang tanan nga butang sa bug-os nga kalibutan paagi sa iya makagagahom nga pulong. Pagkatapos nga nalimpyuhan niya kita sa aton mga sala, nagpungko siya sa tuo sang Makagagahom nga Dios didto sa langit.

Mas Labaw ang Anak sang Dios sang sa mga Anghel

Gani mas labaw ang Anak sang Dios kag mas halangdon ang iya ngalan sang sa mga anghel. Kay wala gid sing anghel nga ginsilingan sang Dios,

“Ikaw ang akon Anak,
kag subong ipakilala ko nga ako ang imo Amay.”[a]

Kag wala man nagsiling ang Dios parte sa bisan kay sin-o nga anghel,

“Ako mangin iya Amay,
kag siya mangin akon Anak.”[b]

Kag sang ipadala na sang Dios ang iya bugtong nga Anak diri sa kalibutan, nagsiling man siya,

“Ang tanan nga anghel sang Dios dapat magsimba sa iya.”[c]

Amo ini ang ginsiling sang Dios parte sa mga anghel,

“Ang mga anghel puwede ko nga himuon nga hangin.
Ini sila nga akon mga suluguon puwede ko man nga himuon nga nagadabdab nga kalayo.”[d] [e]

Pero kon parte sa iya Anak, nagsiling siya,

“Ang imo ginharian, O Dios, wala gid sing katapusan, kag matarong ang imo pagdumala sa imo ginharian.

Naluyag ka sa matarong,

pero naugot ka sa malain.
Gani ginpili ka sang Dios, nga imo Dios,
kag ginhatagan sang kalipay nga labaw sang sa ginhatag niya sa imo mga kaupdanan.”[f]

10 Kag nagsiling pa gid siya sa iya Anak,

“Sa ginsuguran ikaw, Ginoo, amo ang nagtuga sang kalibutan kag sang kalangitan.
11 Ini sila magakalawala, pero ikaw magapadayon sa gihapon.
Ang tanan magagabok pareho sa bayo.
12 Kag pareho man sa bayo, piuron mo ini tanan kag ilisan.
Pero ikaw iya amo lang sa gihapon, wala nagatigulang kag wala sing kamatayon.”[g]

13 Halin pa sang una, wala gid sing anghel nga ginsilingan sang Dios,

“Pungko diri sa akon tuo
hasta mapaidalom ko sa imo ang imo mga kaaway.”[h]

14 Ti, indi bala ang mga anghel mga espiritu lang nga ginasugo sang Dios nga magbulig sa mga tawo nga magabaton sang kaluwasan?

God’s Final Word: His Son

In the past God spoke(A) to our ancestors through the prophets(B) at many times and in various ways,(C) but in these last days(D) he has spoken to us by his Son,(E) whom he appointed heir(F) of all things, and through whom(G) also he made the universe.(H) The Son is the radiance of God’s glory(I) and the exact representation of his being,(J) sustaining all things(K) by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins,(L) he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.(M) So he became as much superior to the angels as the name he has inherited is superior to theirs.(N)

The Son Superior to Angels

For to which of the angels did God ever say,

“You are my Son;
    today I have become your Father”[a]?(O)

Or again,

“I will be his Father,
    and he will be my Son”[b]?(P)

And again, when God brings his firstborn(Q) into the world,(R) he says,

“Let all God’s angels worship him.”[c](S)

In speaking of the angels he says,

“He makes his angels spirits,
    and his servants flames of fire.”[d](T)

But about the Son he says,

“Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever;(U)
    a scepter of justice will be the scepter of your kingdom.
You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness;
    therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions(V)
    by anointing you with the oil(W) of joy.”[e](X)

10 He also says,

“In the beginning, Lord, you laid the foundations of the earth,
    and the heavens are the work of your hands.(Y)
11 They will perish, but you remain;
    they will all wear out like a garment.(Z)
12 You will roll them up like a robe;
    like a garment they will be changed.
But you remain the same,(AA)
    and your years will never end.”[f](AB)

13 To which of the angels did God ever say,

“Sit at my right hand(AC)
    until I make your enemies
    a footstool(AD) for your feet”[g]?(AE)

14 Are not all angels ministering spirits(AF) sent to serve those who will inherit(AG) salvation?(AH)
