1  God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets,

1  In many places and in many ways, in past times, God spoke to the fathers through the Prophets;

1  FROM of old God spoke to our fathers by the prophets in every manner and in all ways; and in these latter days, he has spoken to us by his Son;

2  has in these last days spoken to us by [His] Son, whom He has appointed heir [of] all things, through whom also He made the worlds;

2  hath at the end of these days spoken unto us in [his] Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the worlds;

2  Whom he has appointed heir of all things, and by whom also he made the worlds;

3  who being the radiance of His glory and the exact expression of His substance, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,

3  And since the Son is the brightness of his glory, and the figure of his substance, and is carrying all things by the Word of his virtue, thereby accomplishing a purging of sins, he sits at the right hand of Majesty on high.

3  For he is the brightness of his glory and the express image of his being, upholding all things by the power of his word; and when he had through his person, cleansed our sins, then he sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;

4  having become so much better than the angels, as He has inherited a more excellent name than they.

4  And having been made so much better than the Angels, he has inherited a name so much greater than theirs.

4  And he is altogether greater than the angels, just as the name he has inherited is a more excellent name than theirs.

5  For to which of the angels did He ever say: "You are My Son, today I have begotten You"? And again: "I will be a Father to Him, and He shall be a Son to Me"?

5  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?

6  But when He again brings the firstborn into the world, He says: "Let all the angels of God worship Him."

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

6  And again, when he brings the only-begotten Son into the world, he says: “And let all the Angels of God adore him.”

7  And of the angels He says, "He who makes His angels spirits and His ministers flames of fire."

7  And about the Angels, certainly, he says: “He makes his Angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.”

8  But of the Son [He says]: "Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; the scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your Kingdom.

8  But about the Son: “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever. The scepter of your kingdom is a scepter of equity.

8  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.

9  You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness; therefore God, Your God, has anointed You with the oil of gladness above Your companions."

9  Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; Therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee With the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

9  You have loved justice, and you have hated iniquity. Because of this, God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of exultation, above your companions.”

10  And: "You, YHWH, in the beginning laid the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are the work of Your hands.

11  They shall perish, but You continue; and they all shall grow old like a garment;

11  These shall pass away, but you will remain. And all will grow old like a garment.

11  They shall pass away; but you shall endure; and they all shall wear out like a garment;

12  and like a cloak You will roll them up, and they shall be changed. But You are the same, and Your years shall not fail."

12  And as a mantle shalt thou roll them up, As a garment, and they shall be changed: But thou art the same, And thy years shall not fail.

13  But to which of the angels has He ever said: "Sit at My right hand, till I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet"?

13  But of which of the angels hath he said at any time, Sit thou on my right hand, Till I make thine enemies the footstool of thy feet?

14  Are they not all ministering spirits being sent out to minister for the sake of those who shall be heirs of salvation?
