επ εσχατου των ημερων τουτων ελαλησεν ημιν εν Υιω ον εθηκεν κληρονομον παντων δι ου και εποιησεν τους αιωνας

hath 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;

ος ων απαυγασμα της δοξης και χαρακτηρ της υποστασεως αυτου φερων τε τα παντα τω ρηματι της δυναμεως αυτου καθαρισμον των αμαρτιων ποιησαμενος εκαθισεν εν δεξια της Μεγαλωσυνης εν υψηλοις

1:4

τοσουτω κρειττων γενομενος των αγγελων οσω διαφορωτερον παρ αυτους κεκληρονομηκεν ονομα

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

1:5

Τινι γαρ ειπεν ποτε των αγγελων Υιος μου ει συ εγω σημερον γεγεννηκα σε Και παλιν Εγω εσομαι αυτω εις Πατερα και αυτος εσται μοι εις Υιον

For 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?

1:6

Οταν δε παλιν εισαγαγη τον πρωτοτοκον εις την οικουμενην λεγει Και προσκυνησατωσαν αυτω παντες αγγελοι Θεου

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

1:7

Και προς μεν τους αγγελους λεγει Ο ποιων τους αγγελους αυτου πνευματα και τους λειτουργους αυτου πυρος φλογα

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

1:8

Προς δε τον Υιον Ο θρονος σου ο Θεος εις τον αιωνα του αιωνος και η ραβδος της ευθυτητος ραβδος της βασιλειας σου

but 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.

1:9

ηγαπησας δικαιοσυνην και εμισησας ανομιαν δια τουτο εχρισεν σε ο Θεος ο Θεος σου ελαιον αγαλλιασεως παρα τους μετοχους σου

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

1:10

Και Συ κατ αρχας Κυριε την γην εθεμελιωσας και εργα των χειρων σου εισιν οι ουρανοι

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

1:11

αυτοι απολουνται συ δε διαμενεις και παντες ως ιματιον παλαιωθησονται

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

1:12

και ωσει περιβολαιον ελιξεις αυτους ως ιματιον και αλλαγησονται συ δε ο αυτος ει και τα ετη σου ουκ εκλειψουσιν

And 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.

1:13

Προς τινα δε των αγγελων ειρηκεν ποτε Καθου εκ δεξιων μου εως αν θω τους εχθρους σου υποποδιον των ποδων σου

But 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?

1:14

Ουχι παντες εισιν λειτουργικα πνευματα εις διακονιαν αποστελλομενα δια τους μελλοντας κληρονομειν σωτηριαν

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