1:1 God, that spake sometime by prophets in many manners to our fathers,
1:2 at the last in these days he hath spoken to us by the Son; whom he hath ordained heir of all things, and by whom he made the worlds.
1:3 Which when also he is the brightness of glory, and [the] figure of his substance, and beareth all things [and bearing all things] by word of his virtue, he maketh purgation of sins, and sitteth on the right half of the majesty in heavens [sitteth on the right half of majesty in high things];
1:4 and so much is made better than angels, by how much he hath inherited a more diverse name [a more different, or excellent, name] before them.
1:5 For to which of the angels said God any time, Thou art my Son, I have engendered thee to day [I have to day gendered thee]? And again, I shall be to him into a Father, and he shall be to me into a Son?
1:6 And when again he bringeth in the first begotten Son into the world [And when again he bringeth in the first begotten into the roundness of the earth], he saith, And all the angels of God worship him.
1:7 But he saith to angels [And soothly to angels he saith], He that maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers flame of fire.
1:8 But to the Son he saith, God, thy throne is into the world of world [into the world of worlds]; a rod of equity is the rod of thy realm;
1:9 thou hast loved rightwiseness, and hatedest wickedness; therefore the God, thy God, anointed thee with oil of joy [therefore God, thy God, anointed thee with oil of gladness, or joy], more than thy fellows.
1:10 And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning foundedest the earth, and heavens be works of thine hands;
1:11 they shall perish, but thou shalt perfectly dwell; and all shall wax old as a cloak [as a cloth],
1:12 and thou shalt change them as a cloak [as a cloth], and they shall be changed. But thou art the same thyself, and thy years shall not fail.
1:13 But to which of the angels said God at any time, Sit thou on my right half, till I put thine enemies a stool of thy feet?
1:14 Whether they all be not serving spirits, sent to serve for them [sent into ministry for them] that take the heritage of health?
