Hebrews 1
Contemporary English Version
1 Long ago in many ways and at many times God's prophets spoke his message to our ancestors. 2 (A) But now at last, God sent his Son to bring his message to us. God created the universe by his Son, and everything will someday belong to the Son. 3 (B) God's Son has all the brightness of God's own glory and is like him in every way. By his own mighty word, he holds the universe together.
After the Son had washed away our sins, he sat down at the right side[a] of the glorious God in heaven. 4 He had become much greater than the angels, and the name he was given is far greater than any of theirs.
God's Son Is Greater than Angels
5 (C) God has never said
to any of the angels,
“You are my Son, because today
I have become your Father!”
Neither has God said
to any of them,
“I will be his Father,
and he will be my Son!”
6 (D) When God brings his first-born Son[b] into the world, he commands all of his angels to worship him.
7 (E) And when God speaks about the angels, he says,
“I change my angels into wind
and my servants
into flaming fire.”
8 (F) But God says about his Son,
“You are God,
and you will rule
as King forever!
Your[c] royal power
brings about justice.
9 You loved justice
and hated evil,
and so I, your God,
have chosen you.
I appointed you
and made you happier
than any of your friends.”
10 (G) The Scriptures also say,
“In the beginning, Lord,
you were the one
who laid the foundation
of the earth
and created the heavens.
11 They will all disappear
and wear out like clothes,
but you will last forever.
12 You will roll them up
like a robe
and change them
like a garment.
But you are always the same,
and you will live forever.”
13 (H) God never said to any
of the angels,
“Sit at my right side
until I make your enemies
into a footstool for you!”
14 (I) Angels are merely spirits sent to serve people who are going to be saved.

La Palabra (Hispanoamérica)
Introducción (1,1-4)
Dios nos ha hablado por medio de su Hijo
1 Dios habló en otro tiempo a nuestros antepasados por medio de los profetas, y lo hizo en distintas ocasiones y de múltiples maneras. 2 Ahora, llegada la etapa final, nos ha hablado por medio del Hijo a quien constituyó heredero de todas las cosas y por quien creó también el universo. 3 El Hijo, que siendo reflejo resplandeciente de la gloria del Padre e imagen perfecta de su ser, sostiene todas las cosas mediante su palabra poderosa y que, después de habernos purificado del pecado, se sentó junto al trono de Dios en las alturas 4 y ha venido a ser un valedor tanto más poderoso que los ángeles, cuanto es más excelente el título que ha recibido en herencia.
I.— JESUCRISTO, SUPERIOR A LOS ÁNGELES (1,5—2,18)
Hijo de Dios
5 En efecto, jamás dijo Dios a ningún ángel:
Tú eres mi Hijo,
yo te he engendrado hoy.
Ni tampoco:
Seré para él un padre,
y él será un hijo para mí.
6 Asimismo, al introducir a su Hijo primogénito en el mundo dice:
Adórenlo todos los ángeles de Dios.
7 Y mientras que de los ángeles dice la Escritura:
Dios hace espíritus a sus ángeles,
y llamas ardientes a sus ministros,
8 del Hijo, en cambio, dice:
Tu trono, oh Dios, permanece para siempre
y gobiernas tu reino con rectitud.
9 Amas la justicia y odias la maldad;
por eso Dios, tu Dios, te ha ungido
con óleo de alegría haciéndote sobresalir
más que tus compañeros.
10 Y dice también:
Tú, Señor, pusiste al comienzo
los cimientos de la tierra,
y hechura de tus manos son los cielos.
11 Ellos perecerán; tú, en cambio, permaneces.
Como traje que envejece serán todos;
12 como si de un manto se tratara, los doblarás
y como ropa que se muda cambiarán.
Pero tú eres siempre el mismo
y tus años no tendrán fin.
13 ¿A qué ángel, en fin, dijo alguna vez:
Siéntate junto a mí
hasta que yo ponga a tus enemigos
por estrado de tus pies?
14 ¿No son todos ellos espíritus enviados con la función de servir a los que han de heredar la salvación?
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?
