Hebrews 1 (WEBP)

[1] God, having in the past spoken to the fathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways,
[2] has at the end of these days spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the worlds.
[3] His Son is the radiance of his glory, the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, who, when he had by himself purified us of our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high,
[4] having become as much better than the angels as the more excellent name he has inherited is better than theirs.
[5] For to which of the angels did he say at any time, “You are my Son. Today I have become your father?” “I will be to him a Father, and he will be to me a Son?”
[6] When he again brings in the firstborn into the world he says, “Let all the angels of God worship him.”
[7] Of the angels he says, “He makes his angels winds, and his servants a flame of fire.”
[8] But of the Son he says, “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever. The scepter of uprightness is the scepter of your Kingdom.
[9] You have loved righteousness and hated iniquity; therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows.”
[10] And, “You, Lord, in the beginning, laid the foundation of the earth. The heavens are the works of your hands.
[11] They will perish, but you continue. They all will grow old like a garment does.
[12] You will roll them up like a mantle, and they will be changed; but you are the same. Your years won’t fail.”
[13] But which of the angels has he told at any time, “Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies the footstool of your feet?”
[14] Aren’t they all serving spirits, sent out to do service for the sake of those who will inherit salvation?

Young’s Literal Translation

Hebrews 1 (YLT)

[1] In many parts, and many ways, God of old having spoken to the fathers in the prophets,
[2] in these last days did speak to us in a Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom also He did make the ages;
[3] who being the brightness of the glory, and the impress of His subsistence, bearing up also the all things by the saying of his might-through himself having made a cleansing of our sins, sat down at the right hand of the greatness in the highest,
[4] having become so much better than the messengers, as he did inherit a more excellent name than they.
[5] For to which of the messengers said He ever, ‘My Son thou art-I to-day have begotten thee?’ and again, ‘I will be to him for a father, and he shall be to Me for a son?’
[6] and when again He may bring in the first-born to the world, He saith, ‘And let them bow before him-all messengers of God;’
[7] and unto the messengers, indeed, He saith, ‘Who is making His messengers spirits, and His ministers a flame of fire;’
[8] and unto the Son: ‘Thy throne, O God, is to the age of the age; a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy reign;
[9] thou didst love righteousness, and didst hate lawlessness; because of this did He anoint thee-God, thy God-with oil of gladness above thy partners;’
[10] and, ‘Thou, at the beginning, Lord, the earth didst found, and a work of thy hands are the heavens;
[11] these shall perish, and Thou dost remain, and all, as a garment, shall become old,
[12] and as a mantle Thou shall roll them together, and they shall be changed, and Thou art the same, and Thy years shall not fail.’
[13] And unto which of the messengers said He ever, ‘Sit at My right hand, till I may make thine enemies thy footstool?’
[14] are they not all spirits of service-for ministration being sent forth because of those about to inherit salvation?
