Lettera agli Ebrei - Hebrews 1

GREEK BIBLE	NEW JERUSALEM
1 Ο Θεος, αφου ελαλησε το παλαι προς τους πατερας ημων δια των προφητων πολλακις και πολυτροπως,	1 At many moments in the past and by many means, God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets;but
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 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.
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 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.
4 τοσουτον ανωτερος των αγγελων γενομενος, οσον εξοχωτερον υπερ αυτους ονομα εκληρονομησε.	4 So he is now as far above the angels as the title which he has inherited is higher than their own name.
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 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?
6 Οταν δε παλιν εισαγαγη τον πρωτοτοκον εις την οικουμενην, λεγει? Και ας προσκυνησωσιν εις αυτον παντες οι αγγελοι του Θεου.	6 Again, when he brings the First-born into the world, he says: Let all the angels of God pay him homage.
7 Και περι μεν των αγγελων λεγει? Ο ποιων τους αγγελους αυτου πνευματα, και τους λειτουργους αυτου πυρος φλογα?	7 To the angels, he says: appointing the winds his messengers and flames of fire his servants,
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 to the Son he says: Your throne, God, is for ever and ever; and: the sceptre of his kingdom is asceptre of justice;
9 Ηγαπησας δικαιοσυνην και εμισησας ανομιαν? δια τουτο εχρισε σε, ο Θεος, ο Θεος σου, ελαιον αγαλλιασεως υπερ τους μετοχους σου?	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.
10 και? Συ κατ' αρχας, Κυριε, την γην εθεμελιωσας, και εργα των χειρων σου ειναι οι ουρανοι?	10 And again: Long ago, Lord, you laid earth's foundations, the heavens are the work of your hands.
11 αυτοι θελουσιν απολεσθη, συ δε διαμενεις? και παντες ως ιματιον θελουσι παλαιωθη,	11 They pass away but you remain, they al wear out 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 Like a cloak you wil rol them up, like a garment, and they wil be changed. But you never alter andyour years are unending.
13 Προς τινα δε των αγγελων ειπε ποτε? Καθου εκ δεξιων μου, εωσου θεσω τους εχθρους σου υποποδιον των ποδων σου;	13 To which of the angels has God ever said: Take your seat at my right hand til I have made yourenemies your footstool?
14 Δεν ειναι παντες λειτουργικα πνευματα εις υπηρεσιαν αποστελλομενα δια τους μελλοντας να κληρονομησωσι σωτηριαν;	14 Are they not al ministering spirits, sent to serve for the sake of those who are to inherit salvation?
