RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909

1 For the law contains the shadow of future good things, not the very image of these things. So, by the very same sacrifices which they offer ceaselessly each year, they can never cause these to approach perfection.

1 PORQUE la ley, teniendo la sombra de los bienes venideros, no la imagen misma de las cosas, nunca puede, por los mismos sacrificios que ofrecen continuamente cada año, hacer perfectos á los que se allegan.

2 Otherwise, they would have ceased to be offered, because the worshipers, once cleansed, would no longer be conscious of any sin.

2 De otra manera cesarían de ofrecerse; porque los que tributan [este] culto, limpios de una vez, no tendrían más conciencia de pecado.

3 Instead, in these things, a commemoration of sins is made every year.

3 Empero en estos [sacrificios] cada año se hace conmemoración de los pecados.

4 For it is impossible for sins to be taken away by the blood of oxen and goats.

4 Porque la sangre de los toros y de los machos cabríos no puede quitar los pecados.

5 ◆ For this reason, as Christ enters into the world, he says: “Sacrifice and oblation, you did not want. But you have fashioned a body for me.

5 Por lo cual, entrando en el mundo, dice: Sacrificio y presente no quisiste; mas me apropiaste cuerpo:

6 ◆ Holocausts for sin were not pleasing to you.

6 Holocaustos y [expiaciones] por el pecado no te agradaron.

7 ◆ Then I said, ‘Behold, I draw near.’ At the head of the book, it has been written of me that I should do your will, O God.”

7 Entonces dije: Heme aquí (en la cabecera del libro está escrito de mí) para que haga, oh Dios, tu voluntad.

8 In the above, by saying, “Sacrifices, and oblations, and holocausts for sin, you did not want, nor are those things pleasing to you, which are offered according to the law;

8 Diciendo arriba: Sacrificio y presente, y holocaustos y [expiaciones] por el pecado no quisiste, ni te agradaron, (las cuales cosas se ofrecen según la ley,)

9 then I said, ‘Behold, I have come to do your will, O God,’ ” he takes away the first, so that he may establish what follows.

9 Entonces dijo: Heme aquí para que haga, oh Dios, tu voluntad. Quita lo primero, para establecer lo postrero.

10 For by this will, we have been sanctified, through the one time oblation of the body of Jesus Christ.

10 En la cual voluntad somos santificados por la ofrenda del cuerpo de Jesucristo [hecha] una sola vez.

11 And certainly, every priest stands by, ministering daily, and frequently offering the same sacrifices, which are never able to take away sins.

11 Así que, todo sacerdote se presenta cada día ministrando y ofreciendo muchas veces los mismos sacrificios, que nunca pueden quitar los pecados:

12 But this man, offering one sacrifice for sins, sits at the right hand of God forever,

12 Pero éste, habiendo ofrecido por los pecados un [solo] sacrificio para siempre, está sentado á la diestra de Dios,

13 awaiting that time when his enemies will be made his footstool.

13 Esperando lo que resta, hasta que sus enemigos sean puestos por estrado de sus pies.

14 For, by one oblation, he has brought to fulfillment, for all time, those who are sanctified.

14 Porque con una sola ofrenda hizo perfectos para siempre á los santificados.

15 Now the Holy Spirit also testifies for us about this. For afterward, he said:

15 Y atestíguanos lo mismo el Espíritu Santo; que después que dijo:

16 “And this is the testament which I will commit to them after those days, says the Lord. I will instill my laws in their hearts, and I will inscribe my laws on their minds.

16 Y este es el pacto que haré con ellos después de aquellos días, dice el Señor: Daré mis leyes en sus corazones, y en sus almas las escribiré;

17 And I will no longer remember their sins and iniquities.”

17 [Añade]: Y nunca más me acordaré de sus pecados é iniquidades.

18 Now, when there is a remission of these things, there is no longer an oblation for sin.

18 Pues donde hay remisión de éstos, no hay más ofrenda por pecado.

19 And so, brothers, have faith in the entrance into the Holy of Holies by the blood of Christ,

19 Así que, hermanos, teniendo libertad para entrar en el santuario por la sangre de Jesucristo,

20 and in the new and living Way, which he has initiated for us by the veil, that is, by his flesh,

20 Por el camino que él nos consagró nuevo y vivo, por el velo, esto es, por su carne;

21 and in the Great Priest over the house of God.

21 Y [teniendo] un gran sacerdote sobre la casa de Dios,

22 So, let us draw near with a true heart, in the fullness of faith, having hearts cleansed from an evil conscience, and bodies absolved with clean water.

22 Lleguémonos con corazón verdadero, en plena certidumbre de fe, purificados los corazones de mala conciencia, y lavados los cuerpos con agua limpia.

23 Let us hold fast to the confession of our hope, without wavering, for he who has promised is faithful.

23 Mantengamos firme la profesión de nuestra fe sin fluctuar; que fiel es el que prometió:

24 And let us be considerate of one another, so as to prompt ourselves to charity and to good works,

24 Y considerémonos los unos á los otros para provocarnos al amor y á las buenas obras;

25 not deserting our assembly, as some are accustomed to do, but consoling one another, and even more so as you see that the day is approaching.

25 No dejando nuestra congregación, como algunos tienen por costumbre, mas exhortándonos; y tanto más, cuanto veis que aquel día se acerca.

26 For if we sin willingly, after receiving knowledge of the truth, there is no sacrifice remaining for sins,

26 Porque si pecáremos voluntariamente después de haber recibido el conocimiento de la verdad, ya no queda sacrificio por el pecado.

27 but instead, a certain terrible expectation of judgment, and the rage of a fire that shall consume its adversaries.

27 Sino una horrenda esperanza de juicio, y hervor de fuego que ha de devorar á los adversarios.

28 If someone dies for acting against the law of Moses, and is shown no compassion because of two or three witnesses,

28 El que menospreciare la ley de Moisés, por el testimonio de dos ó de tres testigos muere sin ninguna misericordia:

29 how much more, do you think, someone would deserve worse punishments, if he has tread upon the Son of God, and has treated the blood of the testament, by which he was sanctified, as unclean, and has acted with disgrace toward the Spirit of grace?

29 ¿Cuánto pensáis que será más digno de mayor castigo, el que hollare al Hijo de Dios, y tuviere por inmunda la sangre del testamento, en la cual fué santificado, é hiciere afrenta al Espíritu de gracia?

30 For we know that he has said: “Vengeance is mine, and I will repay,” and again, “The Lord will judge his people.”

30 Sabemos [quién] es el que dijo: Mía es la venganza, yo daré el pago, dice el Señor. Y otra vez: El Señor juzgará su pueblo.

31 It is dreadful to fall into the hands of the living God.

31 Horrenda cosa es caer en las manos del Dios vivo.

32 But call to mind the former days, in which, after being enlightened, you endured a great struggle of afflictions.

32 Empero traed á la memoria los días pasados, en los cuales, después de haber sido iluminados, sufristeis gran combate de aflicciones:

33 And certainly, in one way, by insults and tribulations, you were made a spectacle, but in another way, you became the companions of those who were the object of such behavior.

33 Por una parte, ciertamente, con vituperios y tribulaciones fuisteis hechos espectáculo; y por otra parte hechos compañeros de los que estaban en tal estado.

34 For you even had compassion on those who were imprisoned, and you accepted with gladness being deprived of your goods, knowing that you have a better and more lasting substance.

34 Porque de mis prisiones también os resentisteis conmigo, y el robo de vuestros bienes padecisteis con gozo, conociendo que tenéis en vosotros una mejor sustancia en los cielos, y que permanece.

35 And so, do not lose your confidence, which has a great reward.

35 No perdáis pues vuestra confianza, que tiene grande remuneración de galardón:

36 For it is necessary for you to be patient, so that, by doing the will of God, you may receive the promise.

36 Porque la paciencia os es necesaria; para que, habiendo hecho la voluntad de Dios, obtengáis la promesa.

37 “For, in a little while, and somewhat longer, he who is to come will return, and he will not delay.

37 Porque aun un poquito, y el que ha de venir vendrá, y no tardará.

38 For my just man lives by faith. But if he were to draw himself back, he would not please my soul.”

38 Ahora el justo vivirá por fe; mas si se retirare, no agradará á mi alma.

39 So then, we are not sons who are drawn away to perdition, but we are sons of faith toward the securing of the soul.

39 Pero nosotros no somos tales que nos retiremos para perdición, sino fieles para ganancia del alma.

Psalm 40:6 and Hebrews 10:5: “ears” or “a body”?
In the Hebrew text of Psalm 40 God has “dug” or “opened” the psalmist’s ears. In the Greek Septuagint (Psalm 39:7) God has “prepared a body” for him, and the Epistle to the Hebrews quotes that Greek wording of Christ coming into the world. The Orthodox Church reads the Greek. Scholars still debate how the Greek reading arose.

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).

Commentary 10:8 John Chrysostom, Homilies on Hebrews (Homily XVIII)
In what has gone before he had shown that the sacrifices were unavailing for perfect purification, and were a type, and greatly defective. Since then there was this objection to his argument, If they are types, how is it that, after the truth is come, they have not ceased, nor given place, but are still performed?

Quotes verse 10:32 John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Gospel of Matthew (Homily XV)
… incur danger, or are deprived of their goods, but of these also, thus saying, "Call to remembrance the former days, in which after ye were illuminated ye endured a great fight of afflictions; partly whilst ye were made a gazing stock by reproaches, and afflictions." On this account then Christ hath appointed the reward also to be great.
