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?

1 Dios, habiendo hablado muchas veces y de muchas maneras en otro tiempo a los padres por los profetas, 2 en estos últimos días nos ha hablado por el Hijo, a quien constituyó heredero de todo y por quien asimismo hizo el universo. 3 Él, que es el resplandor de su gloria, la imagen misma de su sustancia y quien sustenta todas las cosas con la palabra de su poder, habiendo efectuado la purificación de nuestros pecados por medio de sí mismo, se sentó a la diestra de la Majestad en las alturas, 4 hecho tanto superior a los ángeles cuanto que heredó más excelente nombre que ellos.
El Hijo, superior a los ángeles
5 ¿A cuál de los ángeles dijo Dios jamás:
«Mi Hijo eres tú,
yo te he engendrado hoy»,
ni tampoco:
«Yo seré un padre para él,
y él será un hijo para mí»?
6 Y otra vez, cuando introduce al Primogénito en el mundo, dice:
«Adórenlo todos los ángeles de Dios.»
7 Y ciertamente, hablando de los ángeles dice:
«El que hace a sus ángeles espíritus,
y a sus ministros llama de fuego.»
8 Pero del Hijo dice:
«Tu trono, Dios, por los siglos de los siglos.
Cetro de equidad es el cetro de tu Reino.
9 Has amado la justicia y odiado la maldad,
por lo cual te ungió Dios, el Dios tuyo,
con óleo de alegría más que a tus compañeros.»
10 También dice:
«Tú, Señor, en el principio fundaste la tierra,
y los cielos son obra de tus manos.
11 Ellos perecerán, mas tú permaneces.
Todos ellos se envejecerán como una vestidura;
12 como un vestido los envolverás, y serán mudados.
Pero tú eres el mismo,
y tus años no acabarán.»
13 ¿A cuál de los ángeles dijo Dios jamás:
«Siéntate a mi diestra,
hasta que ponga a tus enemigos por estrado de tus pies»?
14 ¿No son todos espíritus ministradores, enviados para servicio a favor de los que serán herederos de la salvación?

God’s Final Word: His Son
1 In the past God spoke(A) to our ancestors through the prophets(B) at many times and in various ways,(C) 2 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) 3 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) 4 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
5 For to which of the angels did God ever say,
Or again,
6 And again, when God brings his firstborn(Q) into the world,(R) he says,
7 In speaking of the angels he says,
8 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.
9 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,
14 Are not all angels ministering spirits(AF) sent to serve those who will inherit(AG) salvation?(AH)
