Minekutána az Isten sok rendben és sokféleképen szólott hajdan az atyáknak a próféták által, ez utolsó idõkben szólott nékünk Fia által,

A kit tett mindennek örökösévé, a ki által a világot is teremtette,

A ki az õ dicsõségének visszatükrözõdése, és az õ valóságának képmása, a ki hatalma szavával fentartja a mindenséget, a ki minket bûneinktõl megtisztítván, üle a Felségnek jobbjára a magasságban,

Annyival kiválóbb lévén az angyaloknál, a mennyivel különb nevet örökölt azoknál.

Mert kinek mondotta valaha az angyalok közül: Én Fiam vagy te, én ma szûltelek téged? és ismét: Én leszek néki Atyja és õ lesz nékem Fiam?

Viszont mikor behozza az õ elsõszülöttét a világba, így szól: És imádják õt az Istennek minden angyalai.

És bár az angyalokról [így] szól: Ki az õ angyalait szelekké teszi és az õ szolgáit tûz lángjává,

Ámde a Fiúról [így]: A te királyi széked óh Isten örökkön örökké. Igazságnak pálczája a te országodnak pálczája.

Szeretted az igazságot és gyûlölted a hamisságot: annakokáért felkent téged az Isten, a te Istened, örömnek olajával a te társaid felett.

10 És: Te Uram kezdetben alapítottad a földet és a te kezeidnek mûvei az egek;

11 Azok elvesznek, de te megmaradsz, és mindazok, mint a ruha megavulnak.

12 És palástként összehajtod azokat és elváltoznak, te pedig ugyanaz vagy és a te esztendeid el nem fogynak.

13 Melyik angyalnak mondotta pedig valaha: Ülj az én jobbkezem felõl, míglen ellenségeidet lábaidnak zsámolyává teszem?

14 Avagy nem szolgáló lelkek-é mindazok, elküldve szolgálatra azokért, a kik örökölni fogják az idvességet?

God’s Final Word in His Son

God, after He (A)spoke long ago to the fathers in (B)the prophets in many portions and (C)in many ways, [a](D)in these last days (E)has spoken to us [b]in (F)His Son, whom He appointed (G)heir of all things, (H)through whom also He made the [c](I)world. [d]And He is the radiance of His glory and the exact (J)representation of His nature, and [e](K)upholds all things by the word of His power. When He had made (L)purification of sins, He (M)sat down at the right hand of the (N)Majesty on high, having become as much better than the angels, as He has inherited a more excellent (O)name than they.

For to which of the angels did He ever say,

(P)You are My Son,
Today I have begotten You”?

And again,

(Q)I will be a Father to Him
And He shall be a Son to Me”?

And [f]when He again (R)brings the firstborn into [g](S)the world, He says,

(T)And let all the angels of God worship Him.”

And of the angels He says,

(U)Who makes His angels winds,
And His ministers a flame of fire.”

But of the Son He says,

(V)Your throne, O God, is forever and ever,
And the righteous scepter is the scepter of [h]His kingdom.
(W)You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness;
(X)Therefore God, Your God, has (Y)anointed You
With the oil of gladness above Your companions.”

10 And,

(Z)You, Lord, in the beginning laid the foundation of the earth,
And the heavens are the works of Your hands;
11 (AA)They will perish, but You remain;
(AB)And they all will become old like a garment,
12 (AC)And like a mantle You will roll them up;
Like a garment they will also be changed.
But You are (AD)the same,
And Your years will not come to an end.”

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

(AE)Sit at My right hand,
(AF)Until I make Your enemies
A footstool for Your feet”?

14 Are they not all (AG)ministering spirits, sent out to render service for the sake of those who will (AH)inherit (AI)salvation?

Gud har nu talt til os gennem sin Søn

Mange gange og på forskellige måder har Gud op gennem tiderne talt til vores forfædre gennem profeterne, men nu her i de sidste tider har han talt til os ved sin Søn, Jesus. Verden blev oprindelig skabt ved Jesu medvirken, og Gud har nu indsat ham som Herre over alle ting.

Jesus gav os et glimt af Guds herlighed og viste os Guds væsen, og han opretholder verden alene ved den kraft, der er i hans ord. Efter at Jesus ved sin død havde tilvejebragt forsoning for al synd, satte han sig på tronen ved den mægtige Guds højre hånd i den himmelske verden.

Guds Søn står langt over englene

Guds egen Søn står langt over Guds sendebud, englene,[a] og han omtales på en helt anden måde end dem. Har Gud måske nogen sinde sagt til et af sine sendebud:

„Du er min Søn,
    i dag er jeg blevet din Far.”[b]

eller:

„Jeg vil være hans Far,
    og han skal være min Søn.”[c]?

Og da Gud sendte sin egen Søn til jorden, sagde han: „Alle Guds sendebud skal tilbede ham.”[d]

Mens Skriften taler på følgende måde om Guds brug af sendebud:

„Han, der bruger stormvinde som sine sendebud
    og gør lynene til sine tjenere,”[e]

så står der om Sønnen:

„Dit rige, Gud, skal bestå for evigt,
    du regerer med retfærdighed.
Du elsker det gode og hader det onde.
    Derfor har Gud udvalgt og salvet dig
    med glædens olie frem for andre.”[f]

10 Endvidere står der om Sønnen:

„Herre, i begyndelsen grundlagde du jorden,
    med egne hænder skabte du himmelrummet.
11 Det hele skal forgå,
    men du vil bestå.
Himmel og jord slides op,
    som var de et stykke tøj.
12 Du ruller dem sammen som en kappe,
    skifter dem ud, som man gør med sit tøj.
Men du er altid den samme,
    dine leveår får aldrig ende.”[g]

13 Har Gud nogen sinde sagt til en af englene: „Sæt dig ved min højre side, mens jeg overvinder dine fjender.”[h]? 14 Nej, englene er blot åndelige tjenere, som Gud sender ud for at hjælpe dem, der har fået adgang til det evige liv.

  1. 1,4 I dette afsnit er det væsentligt at vide, at det græske og hebraiske ord for „engel” egentlig betyder sendebud. På græsk hedder et sendebud angelos, og det ord er blevet til vores „engel”.

God’s Final Word: His Son

In the past God spoke(A) to our ancestors through the prophets(B) at many times and in various ways,(C) 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) 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) 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

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)

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

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

In speaking of the angels he says,

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

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.
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)

God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,

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;

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:

Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.

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?

And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.

And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.

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.

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?
