1Ko e ʻOtua, ʻaia naʻe folofola ʻi muʻa ʻi he ngaahi kuonga kehekehe mo e ngaahi anga kehekehe ki he ngaahi tamai ʻi he kau palōfita,
1On many past occasions and in many different ways, God spoke to our fathers through the prophets.
2Kuo ne folofola ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ki mui ni kiate kitautolu ʻi hono ʻAlo, ʻaia kuo ne tuʻutuʻuni ke ʻaʻana ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē, ʻaia ne ne ngaohi ai foki ʻae ngaahi maama;
2But in these last days He has spoken to us by His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, and through whom He made the universe.
3Ko e malama ia ʻo hono nāunau, mo e tatau ʻaupito ʻo ʻene ʻafio, pea ʻoku ne poupou hake ʻae meʻa kotoa pē ʻaki ʻene folofola mālohi, pea kuo hili ʻene fai ʻe ia ʻae totongi ʻi heʻetau ngaahi angahala, pea nofo hifo ia ʻi he nima toʻomataʻu ʻoe Fungani Māʻolunga;
3The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of His nature, upholding all things by His powerful word. After He had provided purification for sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high.
4Pea kuo māʻolunga lahi ʻaupito ia ʻi he kau ʻāngelo, koe meʻa ʻi heʻene maʻu totonu ʻae huafa lelei lahi ʻiate kinautolu.
4So He became as far superior to the angels as the name He has inherited is excellent beyond theirs.
5He naʻe pehē ʻe ia ʻanefē ki ha ʻāngelo fē, “Ko hoku ʻAlo koe, kuo u fakatupu koe ʻi he ʻaho ni?” Pea toe pehē, “Te u hoko au ko e Tamai kiate ia, pea ʻe hoko ia ko e ʻAlo kiate au?”
5For to which of the angels did God ever say: “You are My Son; today I have become Your Father”? Or again: “I will be His Father, and He will be My Son”?
6Pea ʻi he ʻomi ʻe ia ʻae ʻuluaki fakatupu ki māmani, naʻe toe pehē ʻe ia, “Ke hū kiate ia ʻae kau ʻāngelo kotoa pē ʻae ʻOtua.”
6And again, when God brings His firstborn into the world, He says: “Let all God’s angels worship Him.”
7Pea ki he kau ʻāngelo ʻoku pehē ʻe ia, “ʻOku ne ngaohi ʻene kau ʻāngelo ke hangē ko e matangi, mo ʻene kautauhi ke hangē ko e ulo afi.”
7Now about the angels He says: “He makes His angels winds, His servants flames of fire.”
8Ka ki he ʻAlo, ʻoku ne pehē , “E ʻOtua, ko ho nofoʻanga ʻoku lauikuonga pea taʻengata: ko e tokotoko ʻo ho puleʻanga ko e tokotoko māʻoniʻoni ia.
8But about the Son He says: “Your throne, O God, endures forever and ever, and justice is the scepter of Your kingdom.
9Kuo ke ʻofa ki he māʻoniʻoni, pea fehiʻa ki he angahala; ko ia ko e ʻOtua, ko ho ʻOtua, kuo ne tākai ʻaki koe ʻae lolo ʻoe fiefia ʻo lahi hake ʻi ho kāinga.”
9You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, Your God, has anointed You above Your companions with the oil of joy.”
10Pea, “Ko koe, ʻe ʻEiki, naʻa ke ʻai ʻi he kamataʻanga ʻae tuʻunga ʻo māmani; pea koe ngaahi langi ko e ngaue ia ʻa ho nima:
10And: “In the beginning, O Lord, You laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of Your hands.
11E ʻauha ia; ka ʻe pehē ai pe ʻa koe; ʻe fakaʻaʻau ia kotoa pē ke motuʻa ʻo hangē ko e kofu;
11They will perish, but You remain; they will all wear out like a garment.
12Pea hangē ko e pulupulu te ke takatakai ia, pea ʻe fakakehe ia: ka ʻe pehē ai pe ʻa koe, pea ʻe ʻikai ngata ʻa ho ngaahi taʻu.”
12You will roll them up like a robe; like a garment they will be changed; but You remain the same, and Your years will never end.”
13Ka naʻe pehē ʻe ia ʻanefē ki ha ʻāngelo fē, “Nofo koe ʻi hoku nima toʻomataʻu, kaeʻoua ke u ngaohi ho ngaahi fili ko ho tuʻunga vaʻe?”
13Yet to which of the angels did God ever say: “Sit at My right hand until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet”?
14ʻIkai ko e kau laumālie tauhi pe ʻakinautolu kotoa pē, ʻoku fekaua ke tauhiʻi ʻakinautolu ʻe maʻu ʻae fakamoʻui;
14Are not the angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?
