  2. Yes, that is right. but using 使い means 'Messenger' which is what an angel is and most Biblical translations, in Japanese, use 使い.
    Other words for angel are: 天の使い 'Ten no Sukai'
    and
    天使 'tenshi'
    I think most Biblical translations use 使い to show the difference between the pagan version of an angel and the biblical version of an angel.
