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
Modern English Version
God Has Spoken by His Son
1 God, who at various times and in diverse ways spoke long ago to the fathers through the prophets, 2 has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, and through whom He made the world. 3 He is the brightness of His glory, the express image of Himself, and upholds all things by the word of His power. When He had by Himself purged our sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high. 4 He was made so much better than the angels as He has inherited a more excellent name than they.
The Son Superior to Angels
5 For to which of the angels did He at any time say:
“You are My Son;
    today I have become Your Father”[a]?
Or again,
“I will be a Father to Him,
    and He shall be a Son to Me”[b]?
6 And again, when He brings the firstborn into the world, He says:
“Let all the angels of God worship Him.”[c]
7 Of the angels He says:
“He makes His angels spirits,
    and His servants a flame of fire.”[d]
8 But to the Son He says:
“Your throne, O God, lasts forever and ever;
    a scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom.[e]
9 You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness;
    therefore God, Your God, has anointed You
    with the oil of gladness more than Your companions.”[f]
10 And,
“You, Lord, laid the foundation of the earth in the beginning,
    and the heavens are the works of Your hands.
11 They will perish, but You remain;
    and they all will wear out like a garment;
12 as a cloak You will fold them up,
    and they will be changed.
But You are the same,
    and Your years will not end.”[g]
13 But to which of the angels did He at any time say:
“Sit at My right hand,
    until I make Your enemies
    Your footstool”[h]?
14 Are they not all ministering spirits sent out to minister to those who will inherit salvation?
