1 I n many parts, and many ways, God of old having spoken to the fathers in the prophets,

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

2 i n these last days did speak to us in a Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom also He did make the ages;

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;

3 w ho being the brightness of the glory, and the impress of His subsistence, bearing up also the all things by the saying of his might -- through himself having made a cleansing of our sins, sat down at the right hand of the greatness in the highest,

Ko 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;

4 h aving become so much better than the messengers, as he did inherit a more excellent name than they.

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.

5 F or to which of the messengers said He ever, `My Son thou art -- I to-day have begotten thee?' and again, `I will be to him for a father, and he shall be to Me for a son?'

Ki 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?

6 a nd when again He may bring in the first-born to the world, He saith, `And let them bow before him -- all messengers of God;'

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.

7 a nd unto the messengers, indeed, He saith, `Who is making His messengers spirits, and His ministers a flame of fire;'

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

8 a nd unto the Son: `Thy throne, O God, to the age of the age; a scepter of righteousness the scepter of thy reign;

Mo 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;

9 t hou didst love righteousness, and didst hate lawlessness; because of this did He anoint thee -- God, thy God -- with oil of gladness above thy partners;'

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.

10 a nd, `Thou, at the beginning, Lord, the earth didst found, and a work of thy hands are the heavens;

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

11 t hese shall perish, and Thou dost remain, and all, as a garment, shall become old,

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

12 a nd as a mantle Thou shall roll them together, and they shall be changed, and Thou art the same, and Thy years shall not fail.'

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

13 A nd unto which of the messengers said He ever, `Sit at My right hand, till I may make thine enemies thy footstool?'

Ki 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?

14 a re they not all spirits of service -- for ministration being sent forth because of those about to inherit salvation?

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