1 H e maha nga wahi, he maha nga huarahi i korero ai te Atua i mua, ara nga poropiti, ki nga matua,

God, having of old time spoken unto the fathers in the prophets by divers portions and in divers manners,

2 I enei ra whakamutunga na tana Tama ana korero ki a tatou, ko tana hoki tera i mea ai mana nga mea katoa, ko tana kaihanga hoki tera o nga ao;

hath at the end of these days spoken unto us in his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the worlds;

3 K o ia te kanapatanga o tona kororia, te tino ahua o tona pumautanga, e whakau nei i nga mea katoa ki te kupu o tona kaha, ka oti i a ia ake ano te horoi o tatou hara, na noho ana ia i te ringa matau o te Nui i runga rawa;

who being the effulgence of his glory, and the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had made purification of sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;

4 A meinga ana ia kia pai ake i nga anahera, kia pera me te ingoa i riro i a ia he nui atu i to ratou.

having become by so much better than the angels, as he hath inherited a more excellent name than they.

5 K i a wai hoki o nga anahera tana meatanga i mua, Ko koe taku Tama, nonaianei koe i whakatupuria ai e ahau? Me tenei ano, Ko ahau hei Matua ki a ia, ko ia hei Tama ki ahau?

For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, This day have I begotten thee? and again, I will be to him a Father, And he shall be to me a Son?

6 I tana kawenga mai ano hoki i te whanau matamua ki te ao, ka mea ia, Kia koropiko nga anahera katoa a te Atua ki a ia.

And when he again bringeth in the firstborn into the world he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.

7 K o tana kupu ia mo nga anahera, Meinga ana e ia ana anahera hei wairua, ana kaimahi hei mura ahi.

And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels winds, And his ministers a flame a fire:

8 M o te Tama ia, i ki ia, Pumau tonu tou torona, e te Atua, ake, ake: a ko te hepeta o te tika te hepeta o tou kingitanga;

but of the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever; And the sceptre of uprightness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.

9 I arohaina e koe te tika, i kinongia e koe te hara; no reira nui atu i to ou hoa te whakawahinga a te Atua, a tou Atua, i a koe ki te hinu o te hari.

Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; Therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee With the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

10 M e tenei ano, Nau, e te Ariki, i te timatanga i whakatakoto te whenua; he mahi ano nga rangi na ou ringa:

And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning didst lay the foundation of the earth, And the heavens are the works of thy hands:

11 K o era e hemo atu, ko koe ia e mau tonu: ka tawhitotia katoatia hoki era me he kakahu:

They shall perish; but thou continuest: And they all shall wax old as doth a garment;

12 K a pokaitia e koe, ano he koheka, ka whakaputaia ketia: ko koe tonu ano ia koe, kahore hoki he mutunga o ou tau.

And as a mantle shalt thou roll them up, As a garment, and they shall be changed: But thou art the same, And thy years shall not fail.

13 K i tehea hoki o nga anahera tana meatanga i mua, Hei toku ringa matau koe noho ai, kia meinga ra ano e ahau ou hoariri hei turanga waewae mou?

But of which of the angels hath he said at any time, Sit thou on my right hand, Till I make thine enemies the footstool of thy feet?

14 H e teka ianei he wairua kaimahi ratou katoa, he mea tonotono hei minita, he whakaaro ki te hunga mo ratou nei te ora?

Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to do service for the sake of them that shall inherit salvation?
