¹Hapo zamani, Mungu alisema na babu zetu mara nyingi kwa namna nyingi kwa njia ya manabii,

¹God, having of old time spoken unto the fathers in the prophets by divers portions and in divers manners,

²lakini siku hizi za mwisho, amesema nasi kwa njia ya Mwanae. Yeye ndiye ambaye kwa njia yake Mungu aliumba ulimwengu na akamteua avimiliki vitu vyote.

²hath 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;

³Yeye ni mng'ao wa utukufu wa Mungu, na mfano kamili wa hali ya Mungu mwenyewe, akiutegemeza ulimwengu kwa neno lake lenye nguvu. Baada ya kuwapatia binadamu msamaha wa dhambi zao, aliketi huko juu mbinguni, upande wa kulia wa Mungu Mkuu.

³who being the effulgence of his glory, and the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had made purification of sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;

⁴Mwana ni mkuu zaidi kuliko malaika, kama vile jina alilopewa na Mungu ni kuu zaidi kuliko jina lao.

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

⁵Maana Mungu hakumwambia kamwe hata mmoja wa malaika wake: "Wewe ni Mwanangu; Mimi leo nimekuwa Baba yako." Wala hakusema juu ya malaika yeyote: "Mimi nitakuwa Baba yake, naye atakuwa Mwanangu."

⁵For 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?

⁶Lakini Mungu alipokuwa anamtuma Mwanae mzaliwa wa kwanza ulimwenguni, alisema: "Malaika wote wa Mungu wanapaswa kumwabudu."

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

⁷Lakini kuhusu malaika, Mungu alisema: "Mungu awafanya malaika wake kuwa pepo, na watumishi wake kuwa ndimi za moto."

⁷And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels winds, And his ministers a flame a fire:

⁸Lakini kumhusu Mwana, Mungu alisema: "Utawala wako ee Mungu, wadumu milele na milele! Wewe wawatawala watu wako kwa haki.

⁸but of the Son [he saith,] Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever; And the sceptre of uprightness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.

⁹Wewe wapenda uadilifu na kuchukia uovu. Ndiyo maana Mungu, Mungu wako amekuweka wakfu na kukumiminia furaha kubwa zaidi kuliko wenzako."

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

¹⁰Pia alisema: "Bwana, wewe uliumba dunia hapo mwanzo, mbingu ni kazi ya mikono yako.

¹⁰And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning didst lay the foundation of the earth, And the heavens are the works of thy hands:

¹¹Hizo zitatoweka, lakini wewe wabaki daima, zote zitachakaa kama vazi.

¹¹They shall perish; but thou continuest: And they all shall wax old as doth a garment;

¹²Utazikunjakunja kama koti, nazo zitabadilishwa kama vazi. Lakini wewe ni yuleyule daima, na maisha yako hayatakoma."

¹²And 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.

¹³Mungu hakumwambia kamwe hata mmoja wa malaika wake: "Keti upande wangu wa kulia, mpaka niwaweke adui zako chini ya miguu yako."

¹³But 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?

¹⁴Malaika ni roho tu wanaomtumikia Mungu, na Mungu huwatuma wawasaidie wale watakaopokea wokovu.

¹⁴Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to do service for the sake of them that shall inherit salvation?
