Hebraeos 1

VULGATA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Multifariam, multisque modis olim Deus loquens patribus in prophetis :	1 In many places and in many ways, in past times, God spoke to the fathers through the Prophets;
2 novissime, diebus istis locutus est nobis in Filio, quem constituit hæredem universorum, per quem fecit et sæcula :	2 lastly, in these days, he has spoken to us through the Son, whom he appointed as the heir of all things, and through whom he made the world.
3 qui cum sit splendor gloriæ, et figura substantiæ ejus, portansque omnia verbo virtutis suæ, purgationem peccatorum faciens, sedet ad dexteram majestatis in excelsis :	3 And since the Son is the brightness of his glory, and the figure of his substance, and is carrying all things by the Word of his virtue, thereby accomplishing a purging of sins, he sits at the right hand of Majesty on high.
4 tanto melior angelis effectus, quanto differentius præ illis nomen hæreditavit.	4 And having been made so much better than the Angels, he has inherited a name so much greater than theirs.
5 Cui enim dixit aliquando angelorum : Filius meus es tu, ego hodie genui te ? Et rursum : Ego ero illi in patrem, et ipse erit mihi in filium ?	5 For to which of the Angels has he ever said: “You are my Son; today have I begotten you?” Or again: “I will be a Father to him, and he shall be a Son to me?”
6 Et cum iterum introducit primogenitum in orbem terræ, dicit : Et adorent eum omnes angeli Dei.	6 And again, when he brings the only-begotten Son into the world, he says: “And let all the Angels of God adore him.”
7 Et ad angelos quidem dicit : Qui facit angelos suos spiritus, et ministros suos flammam ignis.	7 And about the Angels, certainly, he says: “He makes his Angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.”
8 Ad Filium autem : Thronus tuus Deus in sæculum sæculi : virga æquitatis, virga regni tui.	8 But about the Son: “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever. The scepter of your kingdom is a scepter of equity.
9 Dilexisti justitiam, et odisti iniquitatem : propterea unxit te Deus, Deus tuus, oleo exultationis præ participibus tuis.	9 You have loved justice, and you have hated iniquity. Because of this, God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of exultation, above your companions.”
10 Et : Tu in principio, Domine, terram fundasti : et opera manuum tuarum sunt cæli.	10 And: “In the beginning, O Lord, you founded the earth. And the heavens are the work of your hands.
11 Ipsi peribunt, tu autem permanebis, et omnes ut vestimentum veterascent :	11 These shall pass away, but you will remain. And all will grow old like a garment.
12 et velut amictum mutabis eos, et mutabuntur : tu autem idem ipse es, et anni tui non deficient.	12 And you will change them like a cloak, and they shall be changed. Yet you are ever the same, and your years will not diminish.”
13 Ad quem autem angelorum dixit aliquando : Sede a dextris meis, quoadusque ponam inimicos tuos scabellum pedum tuorum ?	13 But to which of the Angels has he ever said: “Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool?”
14 Nonne omnes sunt administratorii spiritus, in ministerium missi propter eos, qui hæreditatem capient salutis ?	14 Are they not all spirits of ministration, sent to minister for the sake of those who shall receive the inheritance of salvation?
