Hebrews 1
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
God Has Spoken by His Son
1 Long ago God spoke to our ancestors in many and various ways by the prophets, 2 but in these last days he has spoken to us by a Son,[a] whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom he also created the worlds. 3 He is the reflection of God’s glory and the exact imprint of God’s very being, and he sustains[b] all things by his powerful word. When he had made purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, 4 having become as much superior to angels as the name he has inherited is more excellent than theirs.
The Son Is Superior to Angels
5 For to which of the angels did God ever say,
‘You are my Son;
today I have begotten you’?
Or again,
‘I will be his Father,
and he will be my Son’?
6 And again, when he brings the firstborn into the world, he says,
‘Let all God’s angels worship him.’
7 Of the angels he says,
‘He makes his angels winds,
and his servants flames of fire.’
8 But of the Son he says,
‘Your throne, O God, is[c] for ever and ever,
and the righteous sceptre is the sceptre of your[d] kingdom.
9 You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness;
therefore God, your God, has anointed you
with the oil of gladness beyond your companions.’
10 And,
‘In the beginning, Lord, you founded the earth,
and the heavens are the work of your hands;
11 they will perish, but you remain;
they will all wear out like clothing;
12 like a cloak you will roll them up,
and like clothing[e] they will be changed.
But you are the same,
and your years will never end.’
13 But to which of the angels has he ever said,
‘Sit at my right hand
until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet’?
14 Are not all angels[f] spirits in the divine service, sent to serve for the sake of those who are to inherit salvation?

希伯来书 1
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
神藉著兒子說話
1 神在古時候，曾經多次用種種方法，藉著先知向我們的祖先說話； 2 在這末後的日子，卻藉著他的兒子向我們說話。 神已經立他作萬有的承受者，並且藉著他創造了宇宙（“宇宙”或譯：“諸世界”或“眾世代”）。 3 他是 神榮耀的光輝，是 神本質的真象，用自己帶有能力的話掌管萬有；他作成了潔淨罪惡的事，就坐在高天至尊者的右邊。 4 他所承受的名比天使的名更尊貴，所以他遠比天使崇高。
神的兒子比天使崇高
5 神曾對哪一個天使說過：
“你是我的兒子，
我今日生了你”呢？
或者說：
“我要作他的父親，
他要作我的兒子”呢？
6 神差遣長子到世上來的時候，又說：
“ 神所有的天使都要拜他。”
7 論到天使，說：
“ 神以他的天使為風，
以他的僕役為火燄。”
8 但是論到兒子，卻說：
“ 神啊！你的寶座是永永遠遠的，
你國的權杖，是公平的權杖。
9 你喜愛公義，恨惡不法，
所以， 神，就是你的 神，
用喜樂的油膏抹你，勝過膏抹你的同伴。”
10 又說：
“主啊！你起初立了地的根基，
天也是你手的工作。
11 天地都要毀滅，你卻長存；
天地都要像衣服一樣漸漸殘舊，
12 你要把天地像外套一樣捲起來，
天地就像衣服一樣被更換；
只有你永不改變，
你的年數也沒有窮盡。”
13 神可曾向哪一個天使說：
“你坐在我的右邊，
等我使你的仇敵作你的腳凳”呢？
14 天使不都是服役的靈，奉差遣為那些要承受救恩的人效勞嗎？
