¹Potem ko je Bog nekdaj mnogokrat in na razne načine govoril očetom po prorokih,

¹God, having in the past spoken to the fathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways,

²nam je v teh zadnjih dneh govoril po Sinu, ki ga je postavil za dediča vseh stvari, ki je po njem naredil tudi svetove,

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.

³ki je odsvit slave in podoba bitja njegovega in vzdržuje vse z besedo moči svoje; ki je, potem ko je po sebi izvršil očiščenje grehov naših, sedel na desnico veličastva v višavah

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;

⁴in je tolikanj višji postal od angelov, kolikor odličnejše ime je podedoval mimo njih.

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

⁵Kajti kateremu izmed angelov je kdaj rekel: „Sin moj si ti, jaz sem te danes rodil“, in zopet: „Jaz mu bodem za očeta in on mi bode za sina“?

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

⁶In ko bo prvorojenca zopet vpeljal v svet, pravi: „In molijo naj ga vsi angeli Božji“.

⁶Again, when he brings in the firstborn into the world he says, “Let all the angels of God worship him.”

⁷In o angelih sicer pravi: „On dela angele svoje za vetrove in služabnike svoje za ognja plamen“,

⁷Of the angels he says, “Who makes his angels winds, and his servants a flame of fire.” Psalm 104:4

⁸o Sinu pa: „Prestol tvoj, o Bog, na veka vek. Pravičnosti žezlo je kraljestva tvojega žezlo.

⁸But of the Son he says, “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever. The scepter of uprightness is the scepter of your Kingdom.

⁹Ljubil si pravico in sovražil krivico. Zato te je pomazilil Bog, Bog tvoj, z oljem veselja bolj nego sodeležnike tvoje“.

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

¹⁰In: „Ti si v začetku, Gospod, ustanovil zemljo, in rok tvojih dela so nebesa;

¹⁰And, “You, Lord, in the beginning, laid the foundation of the earth. The heavens are the works of your hands.

¹¹njih bode konec, ti pa ostaneš; in vsa se bodo postarala kakor obleka,

¹¹They will perish, but you continue. They all will grow old like a garment does.

¹²in kakor plašč jih boš zvil, in izpremenila se bodo; ti pa si isti, in let tvojih ne bode konec“.

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

¹³Kateremu izmed angelov pa je kdaj rekel: „Sedi na desnico mojo, dokler ne položim sovražnikov tvojih za podnožje nogam tvojim“?Niso li vsi služabni duhovi, v službo pošiljani zaradi njih, ki imajo podedovati zveličanje?

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

¹⁴Niso li vsi služabni duhovi, v službo pošiljani zaradi njih, ki imajo podedovati zveličanje?

¹⁴Aren’t they all serving spirits, sent out to do service for the sake of those who will inherit salvation?
