Hébreux 1
La Bible du Semeur
La personne du Fils de Dieu
La révélation de Dieu par le Fils
1 A bien des reprises et de bien des manières, Dieu a parlé autrefois à nos ancêtres par les prophètes. 2 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. 3 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.
4 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
5 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] .
6 Mais lorsqu’il introduit de nouveau le Premier-né dans le monde[d], il dit :
Que tous les anges de Dieu ╵se prosternent devant lui[e].
7 Au sujet des anges, il dit :
Il utilise ses anges comme des vents,
et ses serviteurs comme des flammes de feu[f] .
8 Mais au sujet du Fils, il dit :
Ton trône, ô Dieu, subsiste ╵pour toute éternité,
le sceptre de ton règne[g] ╵est sceptre d’équité.
9 Tu aimes la justice, ╵et tu détestes la méchanceté.
Aussi, ô Dieu, ton Dieu ╵t’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 :
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.

Hebrews 1
New King James Version
God’s Supreme Revelation(A)
1 God, who [a]at various times and (B)in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, 2 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; 3 (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, 4 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
5 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”?
6 But when He again brings (K)the firstborn into the world, He says:
(L)“Let all the angels of God worship Him.”
7 And of the angels He says:
(M)“Who makes His angels spirits
And His ministers a flame of fire.”
8 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.
9 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?

English Standard Version
The Supremacy of God's Son
1 Long ago, at many times and (A)in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, 2 but (B)in these last days (C)he has spoken to us by (D)his Son, whom he appointed (E)the heir of all things, (F)through whom also he created (G)the world. 3 He is the radiance of the glory of God and (H)the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. (I)After making purification for sins, (J)he sat down (K)at the right hand of the Majesty on high, 4 having become as much superior to angels as the name (L)he has inherited is more excellent than theirs.
5 For to which of the angels did God ever say,
(M)“You are my Son,
today I have begotten you”?
Or again,
(N)“I will be to him a father,
and he shall be to me a son”?
6 And again, when he brings (O)the firstborn into the world, he says,
(P)“Let all God's angels worship him.”
7 Of the angels he says,
(Q)“He makes his angels winds,
and his ministers a flame of fire.”
8 But of the Son he says,
(R)“Your throne, O God, is forever and ever,
the scepter of uprightness is the scepter of your kingdom.
9 You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness;
therefore God, your God, (S)has anointed you
with (T)the oil of gladness beyond your companions.”
10 And,
(U)“You, Lord, laid the foundation of the earth in the beginning,
and the heavens are the work of your hands;
11 they will perish, but you remain;
they will all wear out like a garment,
12 like a robe you will roll them up,
like a garment they will be changed.[a]
But you are (V)the same,
and your years will have no end.”
13 And to which of the angels has he ever said,
14 Are they not all ministering spirits (Y)sent out to serve for the sake of those who are to (Z)inherit salvation?
