PT1904 Patriarchal Text 1904 (accented, eBible edition)
1 Este Melquisedec era rey de Salem y sacerdote del Dios Altísimo. Salió al encuentro de Abraham cuando este volvía de derrotar a los reyes, y lo bendijo.
1 For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of God Most High, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him,
1 Οὗτος γὰρ ὁ Μελχισεδέκ, βασιλεὺς Σαλήμ, ἱερεὺς τοῦ Θεοῦ τοῦ ὑψίστου, ὁ συναντήσας Ἀβραὰμ ὑποστρέφοντι ἀπὸ τῆς κοπῆς τῶν βασιλέων καὶ εὐλογήσας αὐτόν,
2 A él Abraham le dio la décima parte de todo. Su nombre significa primero Rey de justicia; y también es Rey de Salem, es decir, Rey de paz.
2 to whom also Abraham divided a tenth part of all (being first, by interpretation, “king of righteousness”, and then also “king of Salem”, which means “king of peace”,
2 ᾧ καὶ δεκάτην ἀπὸ πάντων ἐμέρισεν Ἀβραάμ, πρῶτον μὲν ἑρμηνευόμενος βασιλεὺς δικαιοσύνης, ἔπειτα δὲ καὶ βασιλεὺς Σαλήμ, ὅ ἐστι βασιλεὺς εἰρήνης,
3 Sin padre, sin madre, sin genealogía, sin principio de días ni fin de vida, hecho semejante al Hijo de Dios, permanece sacerdote para siempre.
3 without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made like the Son of God), remains a priest continually.
3 ἀπάτωρ, ἀμήτωρ, ἀγενεαλόγητος, μήτε ἀρχὴν ἡμερῶν μήτε ζωῆς τέλος ἔχων, ἀφωμοιωμένος δὲ τῷ υἱῷ τοῦ Θεοῦ, μένει ἱερεὺς εἰς τὸ διηνεκές.
4 Consideren, pues, cuán grande era este hombre, a quien Abraham, el patriarca, dio la décima parte de lo mejor del botín.
4 Now consider how great this man was, to whom even Abraham the patriarch gave a tenth out of the best plunder.
4 Θεωρεῖτε δὲ πηλίκος οὗτος, ᾧ καὶ δεκάτην Ἀβραὰμ ἔδωκεν ἐκ τῶν ἀκροθινίων ὁ πατριάρχης.
5 Ciertamente, los hijos de Leví que reciben el sacerdocio tienen mandamiento según la Ley de tomar el diezmo del pueblo, es decir, de sus hermanos, aunque ellos también descienden de Abraham.
5 They indeed of the sons of Levi who receive the priest’s office have a commandment to take tithes from the people according to the law, that is, of their brothers, though these have come out of the body of Abraham,
5 καὶ οἱ μὲν ἐκ τῶν υἱῶν Λευῒ τὴν ἱερατείαν λαμβάνοντες ἐντολὴν ἔχουσιν ἀποδεκατοῦν τὸν λαὸν κατὰ τὸν νόμον, τοῦτ᾽ ἔστι τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς αὐτῶν, καίπερ ἐξεληλυθότας ἐκ τῆς ὀσφύος Ἀβραάμ·
6 Pero Melquisedec, que no era de la familia de Leví, recibió el diezmo de Abraham y bendijo al que tenía las promesas.
6 but he whose genealogy is not counted from them has accepted tithes from Abraham, and has blessed him who has the promises.
6 ὁ δὲ μὴ γενεαλογούμενος ἐξ αὐτῶν δεδεκάτωκε τὸν Ἀβραάμ, καὶ τὸν ἔχοντα τὰς ἐπαγγελίας εὐλόγηκε.
7 Sin ninguna duda, el menor es bendecido por el mayor.
7 But without any dispute the lesser is blessed by the greater.
7 χωρὶς δὲ πάσης ἀντιλογίας τὸ ἔλαττον ὑπὸ τοῦ κρείττονος εὐλογεῖται.
8 En un caso, los que reciben diezmos son hombres mortales; pero en el otro caso, los recibe uno de quien se da testimonio de que vive.
8 Here people who die receive tithes, but there one receives tithes of whom it is testified that he lives.
8 καὶ ὧδε μὲν δεκάτας ἀποθνήσκοντες ἄνθρωποι λαμβάνουσιν, ἐκεῖ δὲ μαρτυρούμενος ὅτι ζῇ.
9 Y por decirlo así, por medio de Abraham también Leví, que recibe diezmos, pagó diezmos,
9 We can say that through Abraham even Levi, who receives tithes, has paid tithes,
9 καὶ ὡς ἔπος εἰπεῖν, διὰ Ἀβραὰμ καὶ Λευῒ ὁ δεκάτας λαμβάνων δεδεκάτωται·
10 porque todavía estaba en el cuerpo de su padre cuando Melquisedec salió al encuentro de Abraham.
10 for he was yet in the body of his father when Melchizedek met him.
10 ἔτι γὰρ ἐν τῇ ὀσφύϊ τοῦ πατρὸς ἦν ὅτε συνήντησεν αὐτῷ ὁ Μελχισεδέκ.
11 Ahora bien, si la perfección hubiera venido por medio del sacerdocio levítico, pues bajo este sacerdocio el pueblo recibió la Ley, ¿qué necesidad habría de que se levantara otro sacerdote según el orden de Melquisedec, y no según el orden de Aarón?
11 Now if perfection was through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people have received the law), what further need was there for another priest to arise after the order of Melchizedek, and not be called after the order of Aaron?
11 Εἰ μὲν οὖν τελείωσις διὰ τῆς Λευϊτικῆς ἱερωσύνης ἦν· ὁ λαὸς γὰρ ἐπ᾽ αὐτῇ νενομοθέτητο· τίς ἔτι χρεία κατὰ τὴν τάξιν Μελχισεδὲκ ἕτερον ἀνίστασθαι ἱερέα καὶ οὐ κατὰ τὴν τάξιν Ἀαρὼν λέγεσθαι;
12 Porque cuando cambia el sacerdocio, también es necesario que cambie la Ley.
12 For the priesthood being changed, there is of necessity a change made also in the law.
12 μετατιθεμένης γὰρ τῆς ἱερωσύνης ἐξ ἀνάγκης καὶ νόμου μετάθεσις γίνεται.
13 Aquel de quien se dicen estas cosas pertenece a otra tribu, de la cual nadie sirvió en el altar.
13 For he of whom these things are said belongs to another tribe, from which no one has officiated at the altar.
13 ἐφ᾽ ὃν γὰρ λέγεται ταῦτα, φυλῆς ἑτέρας μετέσχηκεν, ἀφ᾽ ἧς οὐδεὶς προσέσχηκε τῷ θυσιαστηρίῳ.
14 Porque es evidente que nuestro Señor vino de Judá, tribu de la cual Moisés no dijo nada acerca de sacerdotes.
14 For it is evident that our Lord has sprung out of Judah, about which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priesthood.
14 πρόδηλον γὰρ ὅτι ἐξ Ἰούδα ἀνατέταλκεν ὁ Κύριος ἡμῶν, εἰς ἣν φυλὴν οὐδὲν περὶ ἱερωσύνης Μωϋσῆς ἐλάλησε.
15 Y esto es aún más claro si se levanta otro sacerdote semejante a Melquisedec,
15 This is yet more abundantly evident, if after the likeness of Melchizedek there arises another priest,
15 Καὶ περισσότερον ἔτι κατάδηλόν ἐστιν, εἰ κατὰ τὴν ὁμοιότητα Μελχισεδὲκ ἀνίσταται ἱερεὺς ἕτερος,
16 no constituido conforme a una ley de descendencia humana, sino conforme al poder de una vida indestructible.
16 who has been made, not after the law of a fleshly commandment, but after the power of an endless life;
16 ὃς οὐ κατὰ νόμον ἐντολῆς σαρκικῆς γέγονεν, ἀλλὰ κατὰ δύναμιν ζωῆς ἀκαταλύτου·
17 Porque se da testimonio de él: Tú eres sacerdote para siempre, según el orden de Melquisedec.
17 for it is testified, “You are a priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek.”
17 μαρτυρεῖ γὰρ ὅτι σὺ ἱερεὺς εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα κατὰ τὴν τάξιν Μελχισεδέκ.
18 Así queda anulado el mandamiento anterior por ser débil e inútil,
18 For there is an annulling of a foregoing commandment because of its weakness and uselessness
18 ἀθέτησις μὲν γὰρ γίνεται προαγούσης ἐντολῆς διὰ τὸ αὐτῆς ἀσθενὲς καὶ ἀνωφελές·
19 porque la Ley no perfeccionó nada. Pero se introduce una mejor esperanza, por medio de la cual nos acercamos a Dios.
19 (for the law made nothing perfect), and a bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw near to God.
19 οὐδὲν γὰρ ἐτελείωσεν ὁ νόμος, ἐπεισαγωγὴ δὲ κρείττονος ἐλπίδος, δι᾽ ἧς ἐγγίζομεν τῷ Θεῷ.
20 Y esto no fue sin juramento.
20 Inasmuch as he was not made priest without the taking of an oath
20 καὶ καθ᾽ ὅσον οὐ χωρὶς ὁρκωμοσίας· — οἱ μὲν γὰρ χωρὶς ὁρκωμοσίας εἰσὶν ἱερεῖς γεγονότες,
21 Los otros llegaron a ser sacerdotes sin juramento; pero Jesús llegó a serlo con juramento, por aquel que le dijo: El Señor juró y no cambiará de parecer: Tú eres sacerdote para siempre, según el orden de Melquisedec.
21 (for they indeed have been made priests without an oath), but he with an oath by him that says of him, “The Lord swore and will not change his mind, ‘You are a priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek.’”
21 ὁ δὲ μετὰ ὁρκωμοσίας διὰ τοῦ λέγοντος πρὸς αὐτόν· ὤμοσε Κύριος, καὶ οὐ μεταμεληθήσεται· σὺ ἱερεὺς εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα κατὰ τὴν τάξιν Μελχισεδέκ· —
22 Por eso Jesús es garantía de un mejor pacto.
22 By so much, Jesus has become the guarantee of a better covenant.
22 κατὰ τοσοῦτον κρείττονος διαθήκης γέγονεν ἔγγυος Ἰησοῦς.
23 Los otros sacerdotes fueron muchos, porque la muerte les impedía continuar.
23 Many, indeed, have been made priests, because they are hindered from continuing by death.
23 Καὶ οἱ μὲν πλείονές εἰσι γεγονότες ἱερεῖς διὰ τὸ θανάτῳ κωλύεσθαι παραμένειν·
24 Pero Jesús, como permanece para siempre, tiene un sacerdocio que no pasa a otro.
24 But he, because he lives forever, has his priesthood unchangeable.
24 ὁ δὲ διὰ τὸ μένειν αὐτὸν εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα ἀπαράβατον ἔχει τὴν ἱερωσύνην·
25 Por eso también puede salvar por completo a los que se acercan a Dios por medio de él, porque vive siempre para interceder por ellos.
25 Therefore he is also able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, seeing that he lives forever to make intercession for them.
25 ὅθεν καὶ σῴζειν εἰς τὸ παντελὲς δύναται τοὺς προσερχομένους δι᾽ αὐτοῦ τῷ Θεῷ, πάντοτε ζῶν εἰς τὸ ἐντυγχάνειν ὑπὲρ αὐτῶν.
26 Porque tal sumo sacerdote nos convenía: santo, inocente, sin mancha, apartado de los pecadores y exaltado por encima de los cielos.
26 For such a high priest was fitting for us: holy, guiltless, undefiled, separated from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;
26 Τοιοῦτος γὰρ ἡμῖν ἔπρεπεν ἀρχιερεύς, ὅσιος, ἄκακος, ἀμίαντος, κεχωρισμένος ἀπὸ τῶν ἁμαρτωλῶν καὶ ὑψηλότερος τῶν οὐρανῶν γενόμενος,
27 Él no necesita ofrecer sacrificios cada día, como aquellos sumos sacerdotes, primero por sus propios pecados y luego por los del pueblo. Porque esto lo hizo una vez para siempre, ofreciéndose a sí mismo.
27 who doesn’t need, like those high priests, to offer up sacrifices daily, first for his own sins, and then for the sins of the people. For he did this once for all, when he offered up himself.
27 ὃς οὐκ ἔχει καθ᾽ ἡμέραν ἀνάγκην, ὥσπερ οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς, πρότερον ὑπὲρ τῶν ἰδίων ἁμαρτιῶν θυσίας ἀναφέρειν, ἔπειτα τῶν τοῦ λαοῦ· τοῦτο γὰρ ἐποίησεν ἐφάπαξ ἑαυτὸν ἀνενέγκας.
28 La Ley constituye como sumos sacerdotes a hombres débiles; pero la palabra del juramento, que vino después de la Ley, constituye al Hijo, perfeccionado para siempre.
28 For the law appoints men as high priests who have weakness, but the word of the oath, which came after the law, appoints a Son forever who has been perfected.
28 ὁ νόμος γὰρ ἀνθρώπους καθίστησιν ἀρχιερεῖς ἔχοντας ἀσθένειαν, ὁ λόγος δὲ τῆς ὁρκωμοσίας τῆς μετὰ τὸν νόμον υἱὸν εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τετελειωμένον.

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).
Paul wishing to show the difference between the New and Old [Covenant], scatters it everywhere; and shoots from afar, and noises it abroad, and prepares beforehand. For at once even from the introduction, he laid down this saying, that "to them indeed He spake by prophets, but to us by the Son" ( c. i.

… elegantly expresses the very kind of sacrifice of which the Priest Himself says, "The bread which I will give is my flesh for the life of the world." The same is the sacrifice not after the order of Aaron, but after the order of Melchisedec: let him that readeth understand.

… but before all ages by the Father; and He so far excels the others as with an oath He is made Priest: For they are priests without an oath, but He with an oath by Him that said, The Lord sware, and will not repent.

Ninthly, they allege, seeing He ever liveth to make intercession for us. O, how beautiful and mystical and kind.

To the priests it is said, "First offer sacrifices for your own sins, and so for the people." The sacrifices convicted the priests that if any one should call himself righteous and without sin, it might be answered him, "I look not at what thou sayest, but at what thou offerest; thine own victim convicteth thee.
