Hebreos 1
Dios Habla Hoy
Dios ha hablado por medio de su Hijo
1 En tiempos antiguos Dios habló a nuestros antepasados muchas veces y de muchas maneras por medio de los profetas. 2 Ahora, en estos tiempos últimos, nos ha hablado por su Hijo, mediante el cual creó los mundos y al cual ha hecho heredero de todas las cosas. 3 Él es el resplandor glorioso de Dios, la imagen misma de lo que Dios es y el que sostiene todas las cosas con su palabra poderosa. Después de limpiarnos de nuestros pecados, se ha sentado en el cielo, a la derecha del trono de Dios, 4 y ha llegado a ser superior a los ángeles, pues ha recibido en herencia un título mucho más importante que el de ellos.
5 Porque Dios nunca dijo a ningún ángel:
«Tú eres mi Hijo;
yo te he engendrado hoy.»
Ni dijo tampoco de ningún ángel:
«Yo seré un padre para él,
y él será un hijo para mí.»
6 Pero en otro lugar, al presentar a su Hijo primogénito al mundo, dice:
«Que todos los ángeles de Dios lo adoren.»
7 Respecto a los ángeles, Dios dice:
«Hace que sus ángeles sean como vientos,
y como llamas de fuego sus servidores.»
8 Pero respecto al Hijo, dice:
«Tu reinado, oh Dios, es eterno,
y es un reinado de justicia.
9 Has amado lo bueno y odiado lo malo;
por eso te ha escogido Dios, tu Dios,
y te ha colmado de alegría
más que a tus compañeros.»
10 También dice:
«Tú, oh Señor, afirmaste la tierra desde el principio;
tú mismo hiciste el cielo.
11 Todo ello dejará de existir,
pero tú permaneces para siempre.
Todo ello se gastará como la ropa;
12 ¡lo doblarás como se dobla un vestido,
lo cambiarás como quien se cambia de ropa!
Pero tú eres el mismo;
tu vida no terminará.»
13 Dios nunca dijo a ninguno de los ángeles:
«Siéntate a mi derecha,
hasta que yo haga de tus enemigos el estrado de tus pies.»
14 Porque todos los ángeles son espíritus al servicio de Dios, enviados en ayuda de quienes han de recibir en herencia la salvación.
Hebrews 1
Living Bible
1 Long ago God spoke in many different ways to our fathers through the prophets, in visions, dreams, and even face to face,[a] telling them little by little about his plans.
2 But now in these days he has spoken to us through his Son to whom he has given everything and through whom he made the world and everything there is.
3 God’s Son shines out with God’s glory, and all that God’s Son is and does marks him as God. He regulates the universe by the mighty power of his command. He is the one who died to cleanse us and clear our record of all sin, and then sat down in highest honor beside the great God of heaven.
4 Thus he became far greater than the angels, as proved by the fact that his name “Son of God,” which was passed on to him from his Father, is far greater than the names and titles of the angels. 5-6 For God never said to any angel, “You are my Son, and today I have given you the honor that goes with that name.”[b] But God said it about Jesus. Another time he said, “I am his Father and he is my Son.” And still another time—when his firstborn Son came to earth—God said, “Let all the angels of God worship him.”
7 God speaks of his angels as messengers swift as the wind and as servants made of flaming fire; 8 but of his Son he says, “Your Kingdom, O God, will last forever and ever; its commands are always just and right. 9 You love right and hate wrong; so God, even your God, has poured out more gladness upon you than on anyone else.”
10 God also called him “Lord” when he said, “Lord, in the beginning you made the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands. 11 They will disappear into nothingness, but you will remain forever. They will become worn out like old clothes, 12 and some day you will fold them up and replace them. But you yourself will never change, and your years will never end.”
13 And did God ever say to an angel, as he does to his Son, “Sit here beside me in honor until I crush all your enemies beneath your feet”?
14 No, for the angels are only spirit-messengers sent out to help and care for those who are to receive his salvation.
