1 God, having in the past spoken to the fathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, 2 has 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. 3 His Son is the radiance of his glory, the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, who, when he had by himself purified us of our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high, 4 having become as much better than the angels as the more excellent name he has inherited is better than theirs. 5 For to which of the angels did he say at any time,

"You are my Son.

Today I have become your father?"

and again,

"I will be to him a Father,

and he will be to me a Son?"

6 When he again brings in the firstborn into the world he says, "Let all the angels of God worship him." 7 Of the angels he says,

"He makes his angels winds,

and his servants a flame of fire."

8 But of the Son he says,

"Your throne, O God, is forever and ever.

The scepter of uprightness is the scepter of your Kingdom.

9 You have loved righteousness and hated iniquity;

therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows."

10 And,

"You, Lord, in the beginning, laid the foundation of the earth.

The heavens are the works of your hands.

11 They will perish, but you continue.

They all will grow old like a garment does.

12 You will roll them up like a mantle,

and they will be changed;

but you are the same.

Your years won’t fail."

13 But 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?"

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

1 Kui Jumal muiste mitu korda ja mitmel kombel vanemaile oli rääkinud prohvetite kaudu,

2 siis on Ta neil viimseil päevil meile rääkinud Poja kaudu, Kelle Ta on pannud kõigi asjade pärijaks, Kelle läbi Ta on teinud maailmaajastud,

3 Kes, olles Tema aupaistus ning Ta olemuse kuju ja kandes kõike Oma vägeva sõnaga, pärast seda kui Ta Iseenese läbi oli toimetanud meie pattude puhastuse, istus Ausuuruse paremale käele kõrguses

4 ning sai seda ülemaks Inglitest, mida kõrgema nime Ta on pärinud kui nemad.

5 Sest missugusele Inglile on Ta iganes öelnud: „Sina oled Mu Poeg, täna Ma sünnitasin Sind!", või jälle: „Mina tahan olla Temale Isaks ja Tema peab olema Mulle Pojaks!"?

6 Ent sellest, kui Ta jälle toob esmasündinu maailma, ütleb Ta: „Ka kõik Jumala Inglid kummardagu Teda!"

7 Ent Inglitest Ta ütleb küll: „Ta teeb Oma Inglid tuulteks ja Oma teenijad tuleleegiks!"

8 Aga Pojale Ta ütleb: „Su aujärg, Jumal, on ikka ja igavesti, Su valitsuskepp on õigluse kepp!

9 Sa armastad õigust ja vihkad ülekohut; sellepärast on Jumal, Sinu Jumal, Sind võidnud rõõmuõliga enam kui Su kaaslasi!"

10 Ja: „Sina, Issand, panid maale aluse ja taevad on Su käte tööd!

11 Need hävivad, aga Sina püsid; nad kõik kuluvad nagu kuub

12 ja Sa rullid nad kokku nagu mantli, nagu kuue, ja nad muudetakse; aga Sina oled seesama ja Sinu aastad ei lõpe!"

13 Või missugusele Inglile on Ta kunagi öelnud: „Istu Mu paremale käele, kuni Ma panen Su vaenlased Su jalgealuseks järiks!"

14 Eks nad kõik ole teenijad vaimud, läkitatud abistama neid, kes õndsuse pärivad?
