1 Therefore, holy brothers, who share in the heavenly calling, set your focus on Jesus, the apostle and high priest whom we confess.
1 POR tanto, hermanos santos, participantes de la vocación celestial, considerad al Apóstol y Pontífice de nuestra profesión, Cristo Jesús;
2 He was faithful to the One who appointed Him, just as Moses was faithful in all God’s house.
2 El cual es fiel al que le constituyó, como también lo fué Moisés sobre toda su casa.
3 For Jesus has been counted worthy of greater glory than Moses, just as the builder of a house has greater honor than the house itself.
3 Porque de tanto mayor gloria que Moisés éste es estimado digno, cuanto tiene mayor dignidad que la casa el que la fabricó.
4 And every house is built by someone, but God is the builder of everything.
4 Porque toda casa es edificada de alguno: mas el que crió todas las cosas es Dios.
5 Now Moses was faithful as a servant in all God’s house, testifying to what would be spoken later.
5 Y Moisés á la verdad fué fiel sobre toda su casa, como siervo, para testificar lo que se había de decir;
6 But Christ is faithful as the Son over God’s house. And we are His house, if we hold firmly to our confidence and the hope of which we boast.
6 Mas Cristo como hijo, sobre su casa; la cual casa somos nosotros, si hasta el cabo retuviéremos firme la confianza y la gloria de la esperanza.
7 Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says: “Today, if you hear His voice,
7 Por lo cual, como dice el Espíritu Santo: Si oyereis hoy su voz,
8 do not harden your hearts, as you did in the rebellion, in the day of testing in the wilderness,
8 No endurezcáis vuestros corazones como en la provocación, en el día de la tentación en el desierto,
9 where your fathers tested and tried Me, and for forty years saw My works.
9 Donde me tentaron vuestros padres; me probaron, y vieron mis obras cuarenta años.
10 Therefore I was angry with that generation, and I said, ‘Their hearts are always going astray, and they have not known My ways.’
10 A causa de lo cual me enemisté con esta generación, y dije: Siempre divagan ellos de corazón, y no han conocido mis caminos.
11 So I swore on oath in My anger, ‘They shall never enter My rest.’”
11 Juré, pues, en mi ira: No entrarán en mi reposo.
12 See to it, brothers, that none of you has a wicked heart of unbelief that turns away from the living God.
12 Mirad, hermanos, que en ninguno de vosotros haya corazón malo de incredulidad para apartarse del Dios vivo:
13 But exhort one another daily, as long as it is called today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness.
13 Antes exhortaos los unos á los otros cada día, entre tanto que se dice Hoy; porque ninguno de vosotros se endurezca con engaño de pecado:
14 We have come to share in Christ if we hold firmly to the end the assurance we had at first.
14 Porque participantes de Cristo somos hechos, con tal que conservemos firme hasta el fin el principio de nuestra confianza;
15 As it has been said: “Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts, as you did in the rebellion.”
15 Entre tanto que se dice: Si oyereis hoy su voz, no endurezcáis vuestros corazones, como en la provocación.
16 For who were the ones who heard and rebelled? Were they not all those Moses led out of Egypt?
16 Porque algunos de los que habían salido de Egipto con Moisés, habiendo oído, provocaron, aunque no todos.
17 And with whom was God angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness?
17 Mas ¿con cuáles estuvo enojado cuarenta años? ¿No fué con los que pecaron, cuyos cuerpos cayeron en el desierto?
18 And to whom did He swear that they would never enter His rest? Was it not to those who disobeyed?
18 ¿Y á quiénes juró que no entrarían en su reposo, sino á aquellos que no obedecieron?
19 So we see that it was because of their unbelief that they were unable to enter.
19 Y vemos que no pudieron entrar á causa de incredulidad.

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, having treated of hope, and having said that "We are His house, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end" ( c. iii. ver. 6 ); next shows that we ought to look forward with firmness, and he proves this from the Scriptures.

… righteous man, and blameless, truthful, God-fearing, and one that kept himself from all evil." But bringing an accusation against himself, he said, "No man is free from defilement, even if his life be but of one day." Moses was called faithful in all God's house; and through his instrumentality, God punished Egypt with plagues and tortures.
… Moses himself, being a man of God, was indeed given as a god before Pharaoh; but he is not properly termed Lord, nor is called God by the prophets, but is spoken of by the Spirit as "Moses, the faithful minister and servant of God," which also he was.
For neither when John saith, "He is mightier than I," doth he say it as comparing them; nor Paul, when remembering Moses he writes, "For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses," doth he so write by way of comparison; and He Himself too, in saying, "Behold, a greater than Solomon is here," speaks not as making …

According as Paul says in another place, And exhort each other daily, while it is called to-day; meaning, "continually." For as we may not speak of the "beginning of the days" of Christ, so neither suffer thou that any should ever speak of the end of His kingdom.
