Hebrews 1

NEW JERUSALEM	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 At many moments in the past and by many means, God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets;but	1 God, who, at sundry times and in divers manners, spoke in times past to the fathers by the prophets, last of all,
2 in our time, the final days, he has spoken to us in the person of his Son, whom he appointed heir of althings and through whom he made the ages.	2 In these days hath spoken to us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the world.
3 He is the reflection of God's glory and bears the impress of God's own being, sustaining all things byhis powerful command; and now that he has purged sins away, he has taken his seat at the right hand of thedivine Majesty on high.	3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the figure of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, making purgation of sins, sitteth on the right hand of the majesty on high.
4 So he is now as far above the angels as the title which he has inherited is higher than their own name.	4 Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath inherited a more excellent name than they.
5 To which of the angels, then, has God ever said: You are my Son, today I have fathered you, or: I shalbe a father to him and he a son to me?	5 For to which of the angels hath he said at any time, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?
6 Again, when he brings the First-born into the world, he says: Let all the angels of God pay him homage.	6 And again, when he bringeth in the first begotten into the world, he saith: And let all the angels of God adore him.
7 To the angels, he says: appointing the winds his messengers and flames of fire his servants,	7 And to the angels indeed he saith: He that maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.
8 but to the Son he says: Your throne, God, is for ever and ever; and: the sceptre of his kingdom is asceptre of justice;	8 But to the Son: Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of justice is the sceptre of thy kingdom.
9 you love uprightness and detest evil. This is why God, your God, has anointed you with the oil ofgladness, as none of your rivals.	9 Thou hast loved justice, and hated iniquity: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
10 And again: Long ago, Lord, you laid earth's foundations, the heavens are the work of your hands.	10 And: Thou in the beginning, O Lord, didst found the earth: and the works of thy hands are the heavens.
11 They pass away but you remain, they al wear out like a garment.	11 They shall perish, but thou shalt continue: and they shall all grow old as a garment.
12 Like a cloak you wil rol them up, like a garment, and they wil be changed. But you never alter andyour years are unending.	12 And as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed: but thou art the selfsame, and thy years shall not fail.
13 To which of the angels has God ever said: Take your seat at my right hand til I have made yourenemies your footstool?	13 But to which of the angels said he at any time: Sit on my right hand, until I make thy enemies thy footstool?
14 Are they not al ministering spirits, sent to serve for the sake of those who are to inherit salvation?	14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent to minister for them, who shall receive the inheritance of salvation?
