1 神在古时候， 曾经多次用种种方法， 借着先知向我们的祖先说话；

2 在这末后的日子， 却借着他的儿子向我们说话。 神已经立他作万有的承受者， 并且借着他创造了宇宙（"宇宙"或译： "诸世界"或"众世代"）。

3 他是 神荣耀的光辉， 是 神本质的真象， 用自己带有能力的话掌管万有； 他作成了洁净罪恶的事， 就坐在高天至尊者的右边。

4 他所承受的名比天使的名更尊贵， 所以他远比天使崇高。

5 神曾对哪一个天使说过： "你是我的儿子， 我今日生了你"呢？或者说： "我要作他的父亲， 他要作我的儿子"呢？

6 神差遣长子到世上来的时候， 又说： " 神所有的天使都要拜他。"

7 论到天使， 说： " 神用风作他的使者， 用火焰作他的仆役。"

8 但是论到儿子， 却说： " 神啊！ 你的宝座是永永远远的， 你国的权杖， 是公平的权杖。

9 你喜爱公义， 恨恶不法， 所以， 神， 就是你的 神， 用喜乐的油膏抹你， 胜过膏抹你的同伴。"

10 又说： "主啊！ 你起初立了地的根基， 天也是你手的工作。

11 天地都要毁灭， 你却长存； 天地都要像衣服一样渐渐残旧，

12 你要把天地像外套一样卷起来， 天地就像衣服一样被更换； 只有你永不改变， 你的年数也没有穷尽。"

13 神可曾向哪一个天使说： "你坐在我的右边， 等我使你的仇敌作你的脚凳"呢？

14 天使不都是服役的灵， 奉差遣为那些要承受救恩的人效劳吗？

1 God, having of old time spoken unto the fathers in the prophets by divers portions and in divers manners, 2 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; 3 who 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; 4 having become by so much better than the angels, as he hath inherited a more excellent name than they. 5 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?

6 And when he again bringeth in the firstborn into the world he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him. 7 And of the angels he saith,

Who maketh his angels winds,

And his ministers a flame of fire:

8 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.

9 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity;

Therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee

With the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

10 And,

Thou, Lord, in the beginning didst lay the foundation of the earth,

And the heavens are the works of thy hands:

11 They shall perish; but thou continuest:

And they all shall wax old as doth a garment;

12 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.

13 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?

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