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

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

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.

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.

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;

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.

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

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

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

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."

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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