Lettera agli Ebrei - Hebrews 1

GREEK BIBLE	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Ο Θεος, αφου ελαλησε το παλαι προς τους πατερας ημων δια των προφητων πολλακις και πολυτροπως,	1 In times past, God spoke in partial and various ways to our ancestors through the prophets;
2 εν ταις εσχαταις ταυταις ημεραις ελαλησε προς ημας δια του Υιου, τον οποιον εθεσε κληρονομον παντων, δι' ου εκαμε και τους αιωνας?	2 in these last days, he spoke to us through a son, whom he made heir of all things and through whom he created the universe,
3 οστις ων απαυγασμα της δοξης και χαρακτηρ της υποστασεως αυτου, και βασταζων τα παντα με τον λογον της δυναμεως αυτου, αφου δι' εαυτου εκαμε καθαρισμον των αμαρτιων ημων, εκαθησεν εν δεξια της μεγαλωσυνης εν υψηλοις,	3 who is the refulgence of his glory, the very imprint of his being, and who sustains all things by his mighty word. When he had accomplished purification from sins, he took his seat at the right hand of the Majesty on high,
4 τοσουτον ανωτερος των αγγελων γενομενος, οσον εξοχωτερον υπερ αυτους ονομα εκληρονομησε.	4 as far superior to the angels as the name he has inherited is more excellent than theirs.
5 Διοτι προς τινα των αγγελων ειπε ποτε? Υιος μου εισαι συ, Εγω σημερον σε εγεννησα; και παλιν? Εγω θελω εισθαι εις αυτον Πατηρ, και αυτος θελει εισθαι εις εμε Υιος;	5 For to which of the angels did God ever say: "You are my son; this day I have begotten you"? Or again: "I will be a father to him, and he shall be a son to me"?
6 Οταν δε παλιν εισαγαγη τον πρωτοτοκον εις την οικουμενην, λεγει? Και ας προσκυνησωσιν εις αυτον παντες οι αγγελοι του Θεου.	6 And again, when he leads the first-born into the world, he says: "Let all the angels of God worship him."
7 Και περι μεν των αγγελων λεγει? Ο ποιων τους αγγελους αυτου πνευματα, και τους λειτουργους αυτου πυρος φλογα?	7 Of the angels he says: "He makes his angels winds and his ministers a fiery flame";
8 περι δε του Υιου? Ο θρονος σου, ω Θεε, ειναι εις τον αιωνα του αιωνος? σκηπτρον ευθυτητος ειναι το σκηπτρον της βασιλειας σου.	8 but of the Son: "Your throne, O God, stands forever and ever; and a righteous scepter is the scepter of your kingdom.
9 Ηγαπησας δικαιοσυνην και εμισησας ανομιαν? δια τουτο εχρισε σε, ο Θεος, ο Θεος σου, ελαιον αγαλλιασεως υπερ τους μετοχους σου?	9 You loved justice and hated wickedness; therefore God, your God, anointed you with the oil of gladness above your companions";
10 και? Συ κατ' αρχας, Κυριε, την γην εθεμελιωσας, και εργα των χειρων σου ειναι οι ουρανοι?	10 and: "At the beginning, O Lord, you established the earth, and the heavens are the works of your hands.
11 αυτοι θελουσιν απολεσθη, συ δε διαμενεις? και παντες ως ιματιον θελουσι παλαιωθη,	11 They will perish, but you remain; and they will all grow old like a garment.
12 και ως περιενδυμα θελεις τυλιξει αυτους, και θελουσιν αλλαχθη? Συ ομως εισαι ο αυτος, και τα ετη σου δεν θελουσιν εκλειψει.	12 You will roll them up like a cloak, and like a garment they will be changed. But you are the same, and your years will have no end."
13 Προς τινα δε των αγγελων ειπε ποτε? Καθου εκ δεξιων μου, εωσου θεσω τους εχθρους σου υποποδιον των ποδων σου;	13 But to which of the angels has he ever said: "Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies your footstool"?
14 Δεν ειναι παντες λειτουργικα πνευματα εις υπηρεσιαν αποστελλομενα δια τους μελλοντας να κληρονομησωσι σωτηριαν;	14 Are they not all ministering spirits sent to serve, for the sake of those who are to inherit salvation?
