神在末世借他儿子晓谕世人

神既在古时借着众先知多次多方地晓谕列祖, 就在这末世借着他儿子晓谕我们;又早已立他为承受万有的,也曾借着他创造诸世界。 他是神荣耀所发的光辉,是神本体的真像,常用他权能的命令托住万有。他洗净了人的罪,就坐在高天至大者的右边。 他所承受的名既比天使的名更尊贵,就远超过天使。 所有的天使,神从来对哪一个说“你是我的儿子,我今日生你”?又指着哪一个说“我要做他的父,他要做我的子”? 再者,神使长子到世上来的时候[a],就说:“神的使者都要拜他。” 论到使者,又说:“神以风为使者,以火焰为仆役。” 论到子却说:“神啊,你的宝座是永永远远的,你的国权是正直的。 你喜爱公义,恨恶罪恶,所以神,就是你的神,用喜乐油膏你,胜过膏你的同伴。”

天地都要灭没唯主永远长存

10 又说:“主啊,你起初立了地的根基,天也是你手所造的。 11 天地都要灭没,你却要长存;天地都要像衣服渐渐旧了。 12 你要将天地卷起来,像一件外衣,天地就都改变了;唯有你永不改变,你的年数没有穷尽。” 13 所有的天使,神从来对哪一个说“你坐在我的右边,等我使你仇敌做你的脚凳”? 14 天使岂不都是服役的灵,奉差遣为那将要承受救恩的人效力吗?

La personne du Fils de Dieu

La révélation de Dieu par le Fils

A bien des reprises et de bien des manières, Dieu a parlé autrefois à nos ancêtres par les prophètes. Et maintenant, dans ces jours qui sont les derniers[a], il nous a parlé par le Fils. Il a fait de lui l’héritier de toutes choses et c’est aussi par lui qu’il a créé l’univers. Ce Fils est le rayonnement de la gloire de Dieu et l’expression parfaite de son être. Il soutient toutes choses par sa parole puissante et, après avoir accompli la purification des péchés, il s’est assis dans les cieux à la droite du Dieu majestueux.

Il a ainsi acquis un rang bien plus éminent que celui des anges, dans la mesure où le titre que Dieu lui a donné est incomparablement supérieur au leur.

Le Fils de Dieu supérieur aux anges

En effet, auquel des anges Dieu a-t-il jamais dit ceci :

Tu es mon Fils ; aujourd’hui,
je fais de toi mon enfant[b] .

Et encore :

Je serai pour lui un Père
et lui sera pour moi un Fils[c] .

Mais lorsqu’il introduit de nouveau le Premier-né dans le monde[d], il dit :

Que tous les anges de Dieuse prosternent devant lui[e].

Au sujet des anges, il dit :

Il utilise ses anges comme des vents,
et ses serviteurs comme des flammes de feu[f] .

Mais au sujet du Fils, il dit :

Ton trône, ô Dieu, subsistepour toute éternité,
le sceptre de ton règne[g]est sceptre d’équité.
Tu aimes la justice,et tu détestes la méchanceté.
Aussi, ô Dieu, ton Dieut’a oint d’une huile d’allégresse
et t’a ainsi fait roi,
de préférence à tous tes compagnons[h] .

10 Il dit aussi :

C’est toi, Seigneur,qui, au commencement,as posé les fondations de la terre.
Le ciel est l’œuvre de tes mains.
11 Ils périront, mais tu subsistes,
tous s’useront comme un habit,
12 comme un manteau, tu les enrouleras,
comme un vêtement, tu les changeras.
Mais toi, tu es toujours le même,
tes années ne finiront pas[i] .

13 Or, auquel des anges Dieu a-t-il jamais dit :

Viens siéger à ma droite[j]
jusqu’à ce que j’aie mistes ennemisà terre sous tes pieds[k].

14 En effet, que sont les anges ? Des esprits au service de Dieu, qui sont envoyés pour exercer un ministère en faveur de ceux qui vont hériter le salut.

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?

God’s Supreme Revelation(A)

God, who [a]at various times and (B)in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, 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 [b]worlds; (C)who being the brightness of His glory and the express (D)image of His person, and (E)upholding all things by the word of His power, (F)when He had [c]by Himself [d]purged [e]our sins, (G)sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, having become so much better than the angels, as (H)He has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.

The Son Exalted Above Angels

For to which of the angels did He ever say:

(I)“You are My Son,
Today I have begotten You”?

And again:

(J)“I will be to Him a Father,
And He shall be to Me a Son”?

But when He again brings (K)the firstborn into the world, He says:

(L)“Let all the angels of God worship Him.”

And of the angels He says:

(M)“Who makes His angels spirits
And His ministers a flame of fire.”

But to the Son He says:

(N)“Your throne, O God, is forever and ever;
A [f]scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom.
You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness;
Therefore God, Your God, (O)has anointed You
With the oil of gladness more than Your companions.”

10 And:

(P)“You, Lord, in the beginning laid the foundation of the earth,
And the heavens are the work of Your hands.
11 (Q)They will perish, but You remain;
And (R)they will all grow old like a garment;
12 Like a cloak You will fold them up,
And they will be changed.
But You are the (S)same,
And Your years will not fail.”

13 But to which of the angels has He ever said:

(T)“Sit at My right hand,
Till I make Your enemies Your footstool”?

14 (U)Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for those who will (V)inherit salvation?

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)
