Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1God, having in the past spoken to the fathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways,
1Multifariam, multisque modis olim Deus loquens patribus in prophetis:
2has 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.
2novissime, diebus istis locutus est nobis in Filio, quem constituit hæredem universorum, per quem fecit et sæcula:
3His 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,
3qui cum sit splendor gloriæ, et figura substantiæ ejus, portansque omnia verbo virtutis suæ, purgationem peccatorum faciens, sedet ad dexteram majestatis in excelsis:
4having become as much better than the angels as the more excellent name he has inherited is better than theirs.
4tanto melior angelis effectus, quanto differentius præ illis nomen hæreditavit.
5For to which of the angels did he say at any time, “You are my Son. Today I have become your father?” and again, “I will be to him a Father, and he will be to me a Son?”
5Cui 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?
6When he again brings in the firstborn into the world he says, “Let all the angels of God worship him.”
6Et cum iterum introducit primogenitum in orbem terræ, dicit: Et adorent eum omnes angeli Dei.
7Of the angels he says, “He makes his angels winds, and his servants a flame of fire.”
7Et ad angelos quidem dicit: Qui facit angelos suos spiritus, et ministros suos flammam ignis.
8But of the Son he says, “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever. The scepter of uprightness is the scepter of your Kingdom.
8Ad Filium autem: Thronus tuus Deus in sæculum sæculi: virga æquitatis, virga regni tui.
9You have loved righteousness and hated iniquity; therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows.”
9Dilexisti justitiam, et odisti iniquitatem: propterea unxit te Deus, Deus tuus, oleo exultationis præ participibus tuis.
10And, “You, Lord, in the beginning, laid the foundation of the earth. The heavens are the works of your hands.
10Et: Tu in principio, Domine, terram fundasti: et opera manuum tuarum sunt cæli.
11They will perish, but you continue. They all will grow old like a garment does.
11Ipsi peribunt, tu autem permanebis, et omnes ut vestimentum veterascent:
12You will roll them up like a mantle, and they will be changed; but you are the same. Your years won’t fail.”
12et velut amictum mutabis eos, et mutabuntur: tu autem idem ipse es, et anni tui non deficient.
13But 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?”
13Ad quem autem angelorum dixit aliquando: Sede a dextris meis, quoadusque ponam inimicos tuos scabellum pedum tuorum?
14Aren’t they all serving spirits, sent out to do service for the sake of those who will inherit salvation?
14Nonne omnes sunt administratorii spiritus, in ministerium missi propter eos, qui hæreditatem capient salutis?
