Hebrews 1
1 God, that spak sum tyme bi prophetis in many maneres to oure fadris, at the
God, who at different times and in different ways spoke of old to the fathers by the prophets,
2 laste in these daies he hath spoke to vs bi the sone; whom he hath ordeyned eir of alle thingis, and bi whom he made the worldis. (aiōn g165)
hath at the end of these days spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, by whom he also made the worlds, (aiōn g165)
3 Which whanne also he is the briytnesse of glorie, and figure of his substaunce, and berith alle thingis bi word of his vertu, he makith purgacioun of synnes, and syttith on the riythalf of the maieste in heuenes;
who being a brightness from his glory and an image of his being, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself accomplished a cleansing of sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
4 and so myche is maad betere than aungels, bi hou myche he hath eneritid a more dyuerse name bifor hem.
having become so much superior to the angels, as he hath inherited a more excellent name than they.
5 For to whiche of the aungels seide God ony tyme, Thou art my sone, Y haue gendrid thee to dai? And eftsoone, Y schal be to hym in to a fadir, and he schal be to me in to a sone?
For to which of the angels did he ever say: “Thou art my Son, I this day have begotten thee?” and again: “I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?”
6 And whanne eftsoone he bryngith in the firste bigetun sone in to the world, he seith, And alle the aungels of God worschipe hym.
And again, when he hath brought in the first-begotten into the world, he saith: “And let all the angels of God pay him homage.”
7 But he seith to aungels, He that makith hise aungels spiritis, and hise mynystris flawme of fier.
And of the angels he saith: “Who maketh his angels winds, and his ministers a flame of fire;”
8 But to the sone he seith, God, thi trone is in to the world of world; a yerde of equite is the yerde of thi rewme; (aiōn g165)
but of the Son: “Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever; and the sceptre of thy kingdom is a sceptre of righteousness. (aiōn g165)
9 thou hast louyd riytwisnesse, and hatidist wickidnesse; therfor the God, thi God, anoyntide thee with oile of ioye, more than thi felowis.
Thou lovedst righteousness, and hatedst iniquity; therefore God, thy God, anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.”
10 And, Thou, Lord, in the bigynnyng foundidist the erthe, and heuenes ben werkis of thin hondis; thei schulen perische,
And: “Thou, Lord, in the beginning didst found the earth, and the heavens are the works of thy hands.
11 but thou schalt perfitli dwelle; and alle schulen wexe elde as a cloth, and thou schalt chaunge hem as a cloth,
They will perish, but thou remainest; and they will all become old as doth a garment,
12 and thei schulen be chaungid. But thou art the same thi silf, and thi yeeris schulen not faile.
and thou wilt fold them up as a vesture, and they will be changed; but thou art the same, and thy years will not fail.”
13 But to whiche of the aungels seide God at ony tyme, Sitte thou on my riythalf, till Y putte thin enemyes a stool of thi feet?
But to which of the angels hath he ever said: “Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool?”
14 Whether thei alle ben not seruynge spiritis, sente to seruen for hem that taken the eritage of heelthe?
Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for the sake of those who are to inherit salvation?
