Hepelū 1
1Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets,
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,
2but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world.
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;
3He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,
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;
4having become as much superior to angels as the name he has inherited is more excellent than theirs.
4Pea kuo māʻolunga lahi ʻaupito ia ʻi he kau ʻāngelo, koe meʻa ʻi heʻene maʻu totonu ʻae huafa lelei lahi ʻiate kinautolu.
5For to which of the angels did God ever say, “You are my Son, today I have begotten you”?Or again, “I will be to him a father, and he shall be to me a son”?
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?”
6And again, when he brings the firstborn into the world, he says, “Let all God’s angels worship him.”
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.”
7Of the angels he says, “He makes his angels winds, and his ministers a flame of fire.”
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.”
8But of the Son he says, “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever, the scepter of uprightness is the scepter of your kingdom.
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.
9You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness beyond your companions.”
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.”
10And, “You, Lord, laid the foundation of the earth in the beginning, and the heavens are the work of your hands;
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:
11they will perish, but you remain; they will all wear out like a garment,
11E ʻauha ia; ka ʻe pehē ai pe ʻa koe; ʻe fakaʻaʻau ia kotoa pē ke motuʻa ʻo hangē ko e kofu;
12like a robe you will roll them up, like a garment they will be changed. But you are the same, and your years will have no end.”
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.”
13And to which of the angels has he ever said, “Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet”?
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?”
14Are they not all ministering spirits sent out to serve for the sake of those who are to inherit salvation?
14ʻIkai ko e kau laumālie tauhi pe ʻakinautolu kotoa pē, ʻoku fekaua ke tauhiʻi ʻakinautolu ʻe maʻu ʻae fakamoʻui;
