Mungu, ambaye alisema zamani na baba zetu katika manabii kwa sehemu nyingi na kwa njia nyingi,
On many past occasions and in many different ways, God spoke to our fathers through the prophets.
2
mwisho wa siku hizi amesema na sisi katika Mwana, aliyemweka kuwa mrithi wa yote, tena kwa yeye aliufanya ulimwengu.
But in these last days He has spoken to us by His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, and through whom He made the universe.
3
Yeye kwa kuwa ni mng'ao wa utukufu wake na chapa ya nafsi yake, akivichukua vyote kwa amri ya uweza wake, akiisha kufanya utakaso wa dhambi, aliketi mkono wa kuume wa Ukuu huko juu;
The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of His nature, upholding all things by His powerful word. After He had provided purification for sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high.
4
amefanyika bora kupita malaika, kwa kadiri jina alilolirithi lilivyo tukufu kuliko lao.
So He became as far superior to the angels as the name He has inherited is excellent beyond theirs.
5
Kwa maana alimwambia malaika yupi wakati wo wote, Ndiwe mwanangu, Mimi leo nimekuzaa? Na tena, Mimi nitakuwa kwake baba, Na yeye atakuwa kwangu mwana?
For to which of the angels did God ever say: “You are My Son; today I have become Your Father”? Or again: “I will be His Father, and He will be My Son”?
6
Hata tena, amletapo mzaliwa wa kwanza ulimwenguni, asema, Na wamsujudu malaika wote wa Mungu.
And again, when God brings His firstborn into the world, He says: “Let all God’s angels worship Him.”
7
Na kwa habari za malaika asema, Afanyaye malaika zake kuwa pepo, Na watumishi wake kuwa miali ya moto.
Now about the angels He says: “He makes His angels winds, His servants flames of fire.”
8
Lakini kwa habari za Mwana asema, Kiti chako cha enzi,Mungu,ni cha milele na milele; Na fimbo ya ufalme wako ni fimbo ya adili.
But about the Son He says: “Your throne, O God, endures forever and ever, and justice is the scepter of Your kingdom.
9
Umependa haki, umechukia maasi; Kwa hiyo Mungu, Mungu wako, amekutia mafuta, Mafuta ya shangwe kupita wenzio.
You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, Your God, has anointed You above Your companions with the oil of joy.”
10
Na tena, Wewe,Bwana,hapo mwanzo uliitia misingi ya nchi, Na mbingu ni kazi za mikono yako;
And: “In the beginning, O Lord, You laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of Your hands.
11
Hizo zitaharibika, bali wewe unadumu; Nazo zote zitachakaa kama nguo,
They will perish, but You remain; they will all wear out like a garment.
12
Na kama mavazi utazizinga, nazo zitabadilika; Lakini wewe u yeye yule, Na miaka yako haitakoma.
You will roll them up like a robe; like a garment they will be changed; but You remain the same, and Your years will never end.”
13
Je! Yuko malaika aliyemwambia wakati wo wote, Uketi mkono wangu wa kuume Hata nitakapoweka adui zako chini ya nyayo zako?
Yet to which of the angels did God ever say: “Sit at My right hand until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet”?
14
Je! Hao wote si roho watumikao, wakitumwa kuwahudumu wale watakaourithi wokovu?
Are not the angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?
