1[] Ο Θεος, αφου ελαλησε το παλαι προς τους πατερας ημων δια των προφητων πολλακις και πολυτροπως,
1God, having in the past spoken to the fathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways,
2εν ταις εσχαταις ταυταις ημεραις ελαλησε προς ημας δια του Υιου, τον οποιον εθεσε κληρονομον παντων, δι' ου εκαμε και τους αιωνας·
2has 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.
3οστις ων απαυγασμα της δοξης και χαρακτηρ της υποστασεως αυτου, και βασταζων τα παντα με τον λογον της δυναμεως αυτου, αφου δι' εαυτου εκαμε καθαρισμον των αμαρτιων ημων, εκαθησεν εν δεξια της μεγαλωσυνης εν υψηλοις,
3His Son is the radiance of his glory, the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself made purification for our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
4[] τοσουτον ανωτερος των αγγελων γενομενος, οσον εξοχωτερον υπερ αυτους ονομα εκληρονομησε.
4having become so much better than the angels, as he has inherited a more excellent name than they have.
5Διοτι προς τινα των αγγελων ειπε ποτε· Υιος μου εισαι συ, Εγω σημερον σε εγεννησα; και παλιν· Εγω θελω εισθαι εις αυτον Πατηρ, και αυτος θελει εισθαι εις εμε Υιος;
5For to which of the angels did he say at any time, “You are my Son. Today have I become your father?” Psalm 2:7 and again, “I will be to him a Father, and he will be to me a Son?” 2 Samuel 7:14; 1 Chronicles 17:13
6Οταν δε παλιν εισαγαγη τον πρωτοτοκον εις την οικουμενην, λεγει· Και ας προσκυνησωσιν εις αυτον παντες οι αγγελοι του Θεου.
6Again, when he brings in the firstborn into the world he says, “Let all the angels of God worship him.”
7Και περι μεν των αγγελων λεγει· Ο ποιων τους αγγελους αυτου πνευματα, και τους λειτουργους αυτου πυρος φλογα·
7Of the angels he says, “Who makes his angels winds, and his servants a flame of fire.” Psalm 104:4
8περι δε του Υιου· Ο θρονος σου, ω Θεε, ειναι εις τον αιωνα του αιωνος· σκηπτρον ευθυτητος ειναι το σκηπτρον της βασιλειας σου.
8But of the Son he says, “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever. The scepter of uprightness is the scepter of your Kingdom.
9Ηγαπησας δικαιοσυνην και εμισησας ανομιαν· δια τουτο εχρισε σε, ο Θεος, ο Θεος σου, ελαιον αγαλλιασεως υπερ τους μετοχους σου·
9You have loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows.” Psalm 45:6-7
10και· Συ κατ' αρχας, Κυριε, την γην εθεμελιωσας, και εργα των χειρων σου ειναι οι ουρανοι·
10And, “You, Lord, in the beginning, laid the foundation of the earth. The heavens are the works of your hands.
11αυτοι θελουσιν απολεσθη, συ δε διαμενεις· και παντες ως ιματιον θελουσι παλαιωθη,
11They will perish, but you continue. They all will grow old like a garment does.
12και ως περιενδυμα θελεις τυλιξει αυτους, και θελουσιν αλλαχθη· Συ ομως εισαι ο αυτος, και τα ετη σου δεν θελουσιν εκλειψει.
12As a mantle, you will roll them up, and they will be changed; but you are the same. Your years will not fail.” Psalm 102:25-27
13Προς τινα δε των αγγελων ειπε ποτε· Καθου εκ δεξιων μου, εωσου θεσω τους εχθρους σου υποποδιον των ποδων σου;
13But 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?” Psalm 110:1
14Δεν ειναι παντες λειτουργικα πνευματα εις υπηρεσιαν αποστελλομενα δια τους μελλοντας να κληρονομησωσι σωτηριαν;
14Aren’t they all serving spirits, sent out to do service for the sake of those who will inherit salvation?
