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,
1God, who, at sundry times and in divers manners, spoke in times past to the fathers by the prophets, last of all,
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;
2In these days hath spoken to us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the world.
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;
3Who being the brightness of his glory, and the figure of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, making purgation of sins, sitteth on 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.
4Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath inherited a more excellent name than they.
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 hath he said at any time, Thou art my Son, today have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a 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 he bringeth in the first begotten into the world, he saith: And let all the angels of God adore 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.”
7And to the angels indeed he saith: He that maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame 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 to the Son: Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of justice is the sceptre of thy 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.”
9Thou hast loved justice, and hated iniquity: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
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: Thou in the beginning, O Lord, didst found the earth: and the works of thy hands are the heavens.
11E ʻauha ia; ka ʻe pehē ai pe ʻa koe; ʻe fakaʻaʻau ia kotoa pē ke motuʻa ʻo hangē ko e kofu;
11They shall perish, but thou shalt continue: and they shall all grow old as 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.”
12And as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed: but thou art the selfsame, and thy years shall not fail.
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?”
13But to which of the angels said he at any time: Sit on my right hand, until I make thy enemies thy footstool?
14ʻIkai ko e kau laumālie tauhi pe ʻakinautolu kotoa pē, ʻoku fekaua ke tauhiʻi ʻakinautolu ʻe maʻu ʻae fakamoʻui;
14Are they not all ministering spirits, sent to minister for them, who shall receive the inheritance of salvation?
