Hebrews 1
Lexham English Bible

God’s Full and Final Revelation in the Son

1 Although[a] God spoke long ago in many parts[b] and in many ways to the fathers by the prophets, 2 in these last days he has spoken to us by a Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the world,[c] 3 who is the radiance of his glory and the representation of his essence, sustaining all things by the word of power.[d] When he[e] had made purification for sins through him, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, 4 having become by so much better than the angels, by as much as he has inherited a more excellent name than theirs.

The Son Superior to the Angels

5 For to which of the angels did he ever say,

“You are my son,
    today I have begotten you,”[f]

and again,

“I will be his father[g],
    and he will be my son[h]”?[i]

6 And again, when he brings the firstborn into the world, he says,

“And let all the angels of God worship him.”[j]

7 And concerning the angels he says,

“The one who makes his angels winds,
and his servants a flame of fire,”[k]

8 but concerning the Son,

“Your throne, O God, is forever and ever[l],
and the scepter of righteous is the scepter of your kingdom.
9     You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness;
because of this God, your God, has anointed you
    with the olive oil of joy more than your companions.[m]

10 And,

“You, Lord, laid the foundation of the earth in the beginning,
and the heavens are the works of your hands;
11 they will perish, but you continue,
    and they will all become old like a garment,
12 and like a robe you will roll them up,
and like a garment they will be changed;
but you are the same, and your years will not run out.”[n]

13 But to which of the angels has he ever said,

“Sit down at my right hand,
until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.”[o]

14 Are they not all spirits engaged in special service, sent on assignment for the sake of those who are going to inherit salvation?

Hebrews 1
World English Bible

1 God, having in the past spoken to the fathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, 2 has at the end of these days spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the worlds. 3 His Son is the radiance of his glory, the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, who, when he had by himself purified us of our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high, 4 having become as much better than the angels as the more excellent name he has inherited is better than theirs. 5 For to which of the angels did he say at any time,

“You are my Son.
    Today I have become your father?”(A)

and again,

“I will be to him a Father,
    and he will be to me a Son?”(B)

6 When he again brings in the firstborn into the world he says, “Let all the angels of God worship him.”(C) 7 Of the angels he says,

“He makes his angels winds,
    and his servants a flame of fire.”(D)

8 But of the Son he says,

“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 iniquity;
    therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows.”(E)

10 And,

“You, Lord, in the beginning, laid the foundation of the earth.
    The heavens are the works of your hands.
11 They will perish, but you continue.
    They all will grow old like a garment does.
12 You will roll them up like a mantle,
    and they will be changed;
    but you are the same.
    Your years won’t fail.”(F)

13 But which of the angels has he told at any time,

“Sit at my right hand,
    until I make your enemies the footstool of your feet?”(G)

14 Aren’t they all serving spirits, sent out to do service for the sake of those who will inherit salvation?

New International Version

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,

“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)

6 And again, when God brings his firstborn(Q) into the world,(R) he says,

“Let all God’s angels worship him.”[c](S)

7 In speaking of the angels he says,

“He makes his angels spirits,
    and his servants flames of fire.”[d](T)

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,

“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)

List Hebrejom 1
Nádej pre kazdého

Vznešenosť Božieho Syna

1  Mnoho ráz a mnohorakým spôsobom sa Boh oddávna prihováral našim otcom ústami prorokov.

2 Ale teraz, v týchto posledných dňoch, prehovoril k nám vo svojom Synovi. Jeho ustanovil za dediča všetkého a skrze neho stvoril aj svet.

3 On je odbleskom Božej slávy a obrazom Božej podstaty. Jeho slovo je sila, ktorá udržiava celý vesmír. Svojou smrťou nás zbavil ťarchy hriechu, zaujal najčestnejšie miesto po boku Božieho majestátu v nebesiach

4 a stal sa o toľko vyšším od anjelov, o koľko vznešenejšie meno zdedil ako oni.

Kristus väčší ako anjeli

5 Veď komu z anjelov kedy Boh povedal: Ty si môj Syn, ja som ťa dnes splodil?" Alebo na inom mieste: Ja budem jeho Otcom a on bude mojím Synom?"

6 A keď uvádza Prvorodeného do sveta, hovorí zasa: Nech sa mu klaňajú všetci Boží anjeli."

7 A o anjeloch hovorí ako o vanutí vetra a ohnivých plameňoch.

8 Ale o svojom Synovi hovorí: Bože, tvoja vláda bude trvať na večné veky a bude v nej panovať spravodlivosť.

9 Lebo ty miluješ právo a nenávidíš bezprávie. Preto ťa tvoj Boh vyvýšil nad ostatných a obdaril radosťou."

10 A na inom mieste o ňom hovorí: Ty si, Pane, na počiatku stvoril zem a nebesia sú dielom tvojich rúk.

11-12 Nebesia pominú, ale ty zostaneš naveky."

13 Alebo povedal Boh niektorému z anjelov: Seď po mojej pravici, kým nepoložím tvojich nepriateľov za podnožku tvojim nohám?"

14 Všetci anjeli sú iba bytosti, ktoré slúžia Bohu. Posiela ich, aby pomáhali všetkým, ktorým chce darovať spásu.
