Epistola ad Hebraeos

Multifariam, multisque modis olim Deus loquens patribus in prophetis:

God, who, at sundry times and in divers manners, spoke in times past to the fathers by the prophets, last of all,

Multifaria, et multo modo olim Deo loquente ad patres in prophetas:

novissime, diebus istis locutus est nobis in Filio, quem constituit hæredem universorum, per quem fecit et sæcula:

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, dies isto locuto es ad nos in Filio, quem constitue haere universa, per quem fac et saeculos:

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

Who being the brightness 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 es splendore de gloria, et figura de substantia de illo, et porta omni verbo de virtute suo, purgatione de peccatos faciente, sede ad dextera de maiestate in excelsos:

tanto melior angelis effectus, quanto differentius præ illis nomen hæreditavit.

Being made so much better than the angels as he hath inherited a more excellent name than they.

Tanto bono angelos efficie, quanto differenter prae illos nomine haeredita.

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?

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

Ad que nam dic aliquando de angelos: filio meo es te, me hodie gene te? Et iterum: me es ad illo in patre, et ipso es ad me in filio?

Et cum iterum introducit primogenitum in orbem terræ, dicit: Et adorent eum omnes angeli Dei.

And again, when he bringeth in the first begotten into the world, he saith: And let all the angels of God adore him.

Et cum iterum introduce primogenito in orbe de terra, dic: et omni angelos de Deo adora illo.

Et ad angelos quidem dicit: Qui facit angelos suos spiritus, et ministros suos flammam ignis.

And to the angels indeed he saith: He that maketh his angels spirits and his ministers a flame of fire.

Et ad angelos quidem dic: qui fac angelos suo spiritus, et ministros suo flamma de igni.

Ad Filium autem: Thronus tuus Deus in sæculum sæculi: virga æquitatis, virga regni tui.

But to the Son: Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of justice is the sceptre of thy kingdom.

Ad Filio autem: throno tuo Deo in saeculo de saeculo: virga de aequitate, virga de regno tuo.

Dilexisti justitiam, et odisti iniquitatem: propterea unxit te Deus, Deus tuus, oleo exultationis præ participibus tuis.

Thou hast loved justice and hated iniquity: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

Filega iustitia, et ode iniquitate: propter hoc ung(u)a te Deo, Deo tuo, oleo de exultatione prae participes tuo.

Et: Tu in principio, Domine, terram fundasti: et opera manuum tuarum sunt cæli.

And: Thou in the beginning, O Lord, didst found the earth: and the works of thy hands are the heavens.

Et: te in principio, Domino, terra funde: et operes de manus tuo es de caelo.

Ipsi peribunt, tu autem permanebis, et omnes ut vestimentum veterascent:

They shall perish: but thou shalt continue: and they shall all grow old as a garment.

Ipso peri, te autem permane, et omni ut vestimento veterasce:

et velut amictum mutabis eos, et mutabuntur: tu autem idem ipse es, et anni tui non deficient.

And as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shalt be changed. But thou art the selfsame: and thy years shall not fail.

Et sicut amicie muta illos, et muta: te autem idem ipso es, et de anno tuo non defice.

Ad quem autem angelorum dixit aliquando: Sede a dextris meis, quoadusque ponam inimicos tuos scabellum pedum tuorum?

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 de angelos dic aliquando: sede ab dextro meo, et quoadus pone inimicos tuo scabello de pedes tuo?

Nonne omnes sunt administratorii spiritus, in ministerium missi propter eos, qui hæreditatem capient salutis?

Are they not all ministering spirits, sent to minister for them who shall receive the inheritance of salvation?

Nonne omni es administratores spiritu, in ministerio mitte propter illos, qui haereditate cape de salute?
