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

¹ Doŋ alwaatey ra Irikoy salaŋ iri kaay-kaayey se annabey* do. A n'a te sorro boobo nda fondo waani-waani mo.

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

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.

² Amma sohõ, jirbi banantey wo ra, a salaŋ iri se nga Izo ra. Nga no Irikoy daŋ hay kulu tubuko, a do mo no a na zamaney kulu te.

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;

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;

³ Nga no ga ti Irikoy darza kaaro, d'a alhaalo mo. A goono ga hay kulu yaari da nga sanno dabaro. Waato kaŋ a na zunubey hanandiyaŋo te mo, a goro beena ra, Beeray-Beeri-Koyo kambe ŋwaaro gaa.

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;

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

⁴ Zama a ciya boro kaŋ bisa malaykey beeray mate kaŋ a na maa tubu kaŋ bisa i waney.

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

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

⁵ Zama malayka* woofo se no Irikoy salaŋ ce fo ka ne: «Ni ya ay izo no. Hunkuna no ay na ni hay.»? Wala woofo se no a ne: «Ay ga ciya a se baaba, nga mo ga ciya ay se ize.»?

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?

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

⁶ Woodin banda, waato kaŋ a kande nga hay-jina ndunnya ra a ne: «Irikoy malaykey kulu mo ma sududu a se.»

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

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

⁷ Malaykey boŋ a ne: «A ga nga malaykey te haw faaruyaŋ. A ga nga goy-teerey mo te danji beele.»

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

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

⁸ Amma nga Izo boŋ a ne: «Ya Irikoy, ni koytaray karga ya hal abada abadin wane no. Ni koytaray sarjilla ya sarjilla kayante no.

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.

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

⁹ Ni ba adilitaray, ni konna mo ilaalo. Woodin se no Irikoy, kaŋ ti ni Irikoyo, na ni suuban ka farhã jiyo soogu ni boŋ ka bisa ni hangasiney.»

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

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

¹⁰ A ne mo: «Ya nin, Rabbi, za sintina ni na ganda sinji, beeney mo ni kambe goyo no.

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

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

¹¹ I ga halaci, amma ni wo, ni go no duumi. I kulu ga zeen mo danga kwaay cine.

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

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

¹² Ni g'i kunkuni danga alkuba cine, Ni g'i barmay mo danga bankaaray cine. Amma nin wo, ni si bare, ni jiirey mo sinda me.»

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.

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

¹³ Amma malayka woofo se no a ci ce fo ka ne: «Ma goro ay kambe ŋwaaro gaa, hal ay ma ni ibarey te ni ce taamey se furkange?»

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?

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

¹⁴ Manti malaykey kulu biyayaŋ no, goy-teeriyaŋ no, kaŋ Irikoy ga donton zama i ma saajaw goy te borey kaŋ yaŋ ga faaba tubu se?

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