1:1 God having spoken at different times and in many ways, in times past, to the fathers, by the prophets: last of all,
Multifariam, multisque modis olim Deus loquens patribus in prophetis:

1:2 In these days hath spoken to us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the world:
novissime, diebus istis locutus est nobis in Filio, quem constituit hæredem universorum, per quem fecit et sæcula:

1:3 Who being the splendour 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:
qui cum sit splendor gloriæ, et figura substantiæ ejus, portansque omnia verbo virtutis suæ, purgationem peccatorum faciens, sedet ad dexteram majestatis in excelsis:

1:4 Being made so much better than the Angels, as he hath inherited a more excellent name than they.
tanto melior angelis effectus, quanto differentius præ illis nomen hæreditavit.

1:5 For, to which of the Angels hath he said 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?
Cui 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?

1:6 And again, when he introduceth the first begotten into the world, he saith: And let all the Angels of God adore him.
Et cum iterum introducit primogenitum in orbem terræ, dicit: Et adorent eum omnes angeli Dei.

1:7 And to the Angels indeed he saith: He that maketh his Angels, spirits: and his ministers, a flame of fire.
Et ad angelos quidem dicit: Qui facit angelos suos spiritus, et ministros suos flammam ignis.

1:8 But to the Son: Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of justice is the sceptre of thy kingdom.
Ad Filium autem: Thronus tuus Deus in sæculum sæculi: virga æquitatis, virga regni tui.

1:9 Thou hast loved justice, and hated iniquity: therefore, God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy partners.
Dilexisti justitiam, et odisti iniquitatem: propterea unxit te Deus, Deus tuus, oleo exultationis præ participibus tuis.

1:10 And: Thou in the beginning, O Lord, hast found the earth: and the heavens are the works of thy hands.
Et: Tu in principio, Domine, terram fundasti: et opera manuum tuarum sunt cæli.

1:11 They shall perish, but thou shalt continue: and they shall all grow old as a garment:
Ipsi peribunt, tu autem permanebis, et omnes ut vestimentum veterascent:

1:12 And as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed: but thou art the self-same, and thy years shall not fail.
et velut amictum mutabis eos, et mutabuntur: tu autem idem ipse es, et anni tui non deficient.

1:13 But to which of the Angels said he at any time: Sit on my right hand, until I make thy enemies thy footstool?
Ad quem autem angelorum dixit aliquando: Sede a dextris meis, quoadusque ponam inimicos tuos scabellum pedum tuorum?

1:14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent to minister for those, who shall receive the inheritance of salvation?
Nonne omnes sunt administratorii spiritus, in ministerium missi propter eos, qui hæreditatem capient salutis?
