Will anyone tell me why English translators translated THY TRONE OH GOD from Greek of Hebrews 1:8 and not God is your throne?

because some Unitarians believe that if you translate all the Greek words there then it says THY TRONE THE GOD IS FOREVER and they simple corrected it to God is your throne.

And according to the Bible, why it is absurd to say that the Son's throne is God?

please give me a well informed presentation in one post thanks.
I only know English, I will do the best I can to explain.
The Son sits on the right hand of the Father's throne until all enemies including death are defeated. (Psalms 110, Revelation 3:21).
1 Corinthians 15:28 The Son delivers the throne back to the Father after all enemies are defeated.
Jesus rules from His throne during the 1000 years of Revelation 20.
God and the Lamb (Jesus) share the throne in Revelation 22:3.

"For a child is born to us, and a son is given to us, whose government is upon his shoulder, and his name is called the messenger of great counsel, wonderful counsellor, mighty God (Θεὸς ἰσχυρός), potentate, prince of peace, father of the age to come."
Is 9:6
----
Thomas answered and said to Him, “My Lord and my God! (ὁ Θεός μου)
John 20:28
----
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” (Θεὸς ἦν ὁ Λόγος)
John 1:1
----
For this reason they tried all the more to kill him; not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal with God. (ἴσον τῷ Θεῷ)
J 5:18 (notice that this is a commentary by the apostle, not by Jews)
----
"Christ Jesus, who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage." (ἐν μορφῇ Θεοῦ, ἴσα Θεῷ)
Phil 2:6
John's commentary that Jesus is equal to God includes James 1:13 God cannot be tempted.
John does not include a temptation of Jesus in the book written by John.
Jesus goes on to explain what conditions have to be met before He will be equal to God the Father.
You have to interpret this as a premillennial believer for better understanding.
The Jewish leaders also thought Jesus declared that He was equal to the Father which is why they wanted to stone him.

Philippians 2:6 You quote from the NIV. King James and ESV read that Jesus was in the form of God (form means body).

John 1:1 In the beginning the Father is God and the Son is God.
In other words at creation, the Son had been chosen to be God (Luke 9:35, at the mount of transfiguration, God said, "This is my chosen Son").

I can't explain all verses to my satisfaction. Why do you ignore my proof texts?
It is better that you ignore rather than misinterpret.
Jesus chosen by the Father (Luke 9:35) and anointed over His companions (Hebrews 1:8-9).

Jesus is the Lord Almighty (2 Corinthians 6:18). The Father is the Lord God Almighty (Revelation 1:8).

You may like the included video and approach to Hebrew....

Forgive the post in the wrong thread....I saw the word Hebrew(s) thinking this was the thread where someone asked for a "good translation" from the Hebrew.......something like that. It is hot here. I see things at times that simply are not there, but then that happens a lot in the threads......j
