1 In many parts and many ways, God, having spoken long ago to the fathers by the prophets,
1 DIOS, habiendo hablado muchas veces y en muchas maneras en otro tiempo á los padres por los profetas,
1 God, having in the past spoken to the fathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways,
2 in these last days speaks to us in [His] Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom He also made the ages;
2 En estos postreros días nos ha hablado por el Hijo, al cual constituyó heredero de todo, por el cual asimismo hizo el universo:
2 has at the end of these days spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the worlds.
3 who being the brightness of the glory, and the impress of His subsistence, bearing up also all things by the saying of His might—having made a cleansing of our sins through Himself, sat down at the right hand of the Greatness in the highest,
3 El cual siendo el resplandor de su gloria, y la misma imagen de su sustancia, y sustentando todas las cosas con la palabra de su potencia, habiendo hecho la purgación de nuestros pecados por sí mismo, se sentó á la diestra de la Majestad en las alturas,
3 His Son is the radiance of his glory, the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, who, when he had by himself purified us of our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high,
4 having become so much better than the messengers, as He inherited a more excellent name than them.
4 Hecho tanto más excelente que los ángeles, cuanto alcanzó por herencia más excelente nombre que ellos.
4 having become as much better than the angels as the more excellent name he has inherited is better than theirs.
5 For to which of the messengers did He ever say, “You are My Son—today I have begotten You?” And again, “I will be to Him for a Father, and He will be to Me for a Son?”
5 Porque ¿á cuál de los ángeles dijo [Dios] jamás: Mi hijo eres tú, hoy yo te he engendrado? y otra vez: Yo seré á él Padre, y él me será á mí hijo?
5 For to which of the angels did he say at any time, “You are my Son. Today I have become your father?” and again, “I will be to him a Father, and he will be to me a Son?”
6 And when again He may bring the firstborn into the world, He says, “And let them worship Him—all messengers of God”;
6 Y otra vez, cuando introduce al Primogénito en la tierra, dice: Y adórenle todos los ángeles de Dios.
6 When he again brings in the firstborn into the world he says, “Let all the angels of God worship him.”
7 and to the messengers, indeed, He says, “The [One] who is making His messengers spirits, and His ministers a flame of fire”;
7 Y ciertamente de los ángeles dice: El que hace á sus ángeles espíritus, y á sus ministros llama de fuego.
7 Of the angels he says, “He makes his angels winds, and his servants a flame of fire.”
8 but to the Son: “Your throne, O God, [is] throughout the age of the age; The scepter of righteousness [is the] scepter of Your kingdom;
8 Mas al hijo: Tu trono, oh Dios, por el siglo del siglo; vara de equidad la vara de tu reino;
8 But of the Son he says, “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever. The scepter of uprightness is the scepter of your Kingdom.
9 You loved righteousness, and hated lawlessness; Because of this He anointed You—God, Your God—With oil of gladness above Your partners”;
9 Has amado la justicia, y aborrecido la maldad; por lo cual te ungió Dios, el Dios tuyo, con óleo de alegría más que á tus compañeros.
9 You have loved righteousness and hated iniquity; therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows.”
10 and, “You, LORD, founded the earth at the beginning, || And the heavens are a work of Your hands.
10 Y: Tú, oh Señor, en el principio fundaste la tierra; y los cielos son obras de tus manos:
10 And, “You, Lord, in the beginning, laid the foundation of the earth. The heavens are the works of your hands.
11 These will perish, but You remain, || And all will become old as a garment,
11 Ellos perecerán, mas tú eres permanente; y todos ellos se envejecerán como una vestidura;
11 They will perish, but you continue. They all will grow old like a garment does.
12 And You will roll them together as a mantle, and they will be changed, || But You are the same, and Your years will not fail.”
12 Y como un vestido los envolverás, y serán mudados; empero tú eres el mismo, y tus años no acabarán.
12 You will roll them up like a mantle, and they will be changed; but you are the same. Your years won’t fail.”
13 And to which of the messengers did He ever say, “Sit at My right hand, || Until I may make Your enemies Your footstool?”
13 Pues, ¿á cuál de los ángeles dijo jamás: Siéntate á mi diestra, hasta que ponga á tus enemigos por estrado de tus pies?
13 But which of the angels has he told at any time, “Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies the footstool of your feet?”
14 Are they not all spirits of service—being sent forth for ministry because of those about to inherit salvation?
14 ¿No son todos espíritus administradores, enviados para servicio á favor de los que serán herederos de salud?
14 Aren’t they all serving spirits, sent out to do service for the sake of those who will inherit salvation?

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
Truly, "where sin abounded, grace did much more abound." ( Rom. v. 20.) This at least the blessed Paul intimates here also, in the very beginning of his Epistle to the Hebrews.

… knowledge, "who, being the brightness of His majesty, is by so much greater than the angels, as He hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they." For it is thus written, "Who maketh His angels spirits, and His ministers a flame of fire." But concerning His Son the Lord spoke thus: "Thou art my Son, to-day have I …
Since, "in many places, and in diverse manners," as the Epistle to the Hebrews saith, "God spoke in former times to the fathers through the Prophets;" yet He spoke of Him whom He sent afterwards, that the words of the Prophets might be fulfilled: for "all the promises of God in Him are yea." Psalm CIX

At least Paul puts it as a peculiar privilege of the Only-Begotten, saying, "To which of the angels said He at any time, Sit thou on my right hand? And of the angels He saith, who maketh His angels spirits; but unto the Son, Thy throne, O God.'" How then saith He, "To sit on my right hand and on …
