¹　神借着儿子说话

¹In many parts, and many ways, God of old having spoken to the fathers in the prophets,

²在这末后的日子，却借着他的儿子向我们说话。　神已经立他作万有的承受者，并且借着他创造了宇宙（“宇宙”或译：“诸世界”或“众世代”）。

²in these last days did speak to us in a Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom also He did make the ages;

³他是　神荣耀的光辉，是　神本质的真象，用自己带有能力的话掌管万有；他作成了洁净罪恶的事，就坐在高天至尊者的右边。

³who being the brightness of the glory, and the impress of His subsistence, bearing up also the all things by the saying of his might — through himself having made a cleansing of our sins, sat down at the right hand of the greatness in the highest,

⁴他所承受的名比天使的名更尊贵，所以他远比天使崇高。

⁴having become so much better than the messengers, as he did inherit a more excellent name than they.

⁵　神的儿子比天使崇高　神曾对哪一个天使说过：“你是我的儿子，我今日生了你”呢？或者说：“我要作他的父亲，他要作我的儿子”呢？

⁵For to which of the messengers said He ever, `My Son thou art — I to-day have begotten thee?` and again, `I will be to him for a father, and he shall be to Me for a son?`

⁶　神差遣长子到世上来的时候，又说：“　神所有的天使都要拜他。”

⁶and when again He may bring in the first-born to the world, He saith, `And let them bow before him — all messengers of God;`

⁷论到天使，说：“　神用风作他的使者，用火焰作他的仆役。”

⁷and unto the messengers, indeed, He saith, `Who is making His messengers spirits, and His ministers a flame of fire;`

⁸但是论到儿子，却说：“　神啊！你的宝座是永永远远的，你国的权杖，是公平的权杖。

⁸and unto the Son: `Thy throne, O God, [is] to the age of the age; a scepter of righteousness [is] the scepter of thy reign;

⁹你喜爱公义，恨恶不法，所以，　神，就是你的　神，用喜乐的油膏抹你，胜过膏抹你的同伴。”

⁹thou didst love righteousness, and didst hate lawlessness; because of this did He anoint thee — God, thy God — with oil of gladness above thy partners;`

¹⁰又说：“主啊！你起初立了地的根基，天也是你手的工作。

¹⁰and, `Thou, at the beginning, Lord, the earth didst found, and a work of thy hands are the heavens;

¹¹天地都要毁灭，你却长存；天地都要像衣服一样渐渐残旧，

¹¹these shall perish, and Thou dost remain, and all, as a garment, shall become old,

¹²你要把天地像外套一样卷起来，天地就像衣服一样被更换；只有你永不改变，你的年数也没有穷尽。”

¹²and as a mantle Thou shall roll them together, and they shall be changed, and Thou art the same, and Thy years shall not fail.`

¹³　神可曾向哪一个天使说：“你坐在我的右边，等我使你的仇敌作你的脚凳”呢？

¹³And unto which of the messengers said He ever, `Sit at My right hand, till I may make thine enemies thy footstool?`

¹⁴天使不都是服役的灵，奉差遣为那些要承受救恩的人效劳吗？

¹⁴are they not all spirits of service — for ministration being sent forth because of those about to inherit salvation?
