Hebrews 10 Darby Translation
Audio: World English Bible (WEB), read by Winfred W. Henson · About the recordings
1 For the law, having a shadow of the coming good things, not the image itself of the things, can never, by the same sacrifices which they offer continually yearly, perfect those who approach.
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.
1 For the law, having a shadow of the good to come, not the very image of the things, can never with the same sacrifices year by year, which they offer continually, make perfect those who draw near.
2 Since, would they not indeed have ceased being offered, on account of the worshippers once purged having no longer any conscience of sins?
2 De otra manera cesarían de ofrecerse; porque los que tributan [este] culto, limpios de una vez, no tendrían más conciencia de pecado.
2 Or else wouldn’t they have ceased to be offered, because the worshipers, having been once cleansed, would have had no more consciousness of sins?
3 But in these [there is] a calling to mind of sins yearly.
3 Empero en estos [sacrificios] cada año se hace conmemoración de los pecados.
3 But in those sacrifices there is a yearly reminder of sins.
4 For blood of bulls and goats [is] incapable of taking away sins.
4 Porque la sangre de los toros y de los machos cabríos no puede quitar los pecados.
4 For it is impossible that the blood of bulls and goats should take away sins.
5◆ Wherefore coming into the world he says, Sacrifice and offering thou willedst not; but thou hast prepared me a body.
5 Por lo cual, entrando en el mundo, dice: Sacrificio y presente no quisiste; mas me apropiaste cuerpo:
5 Therefore when he comes into the world, he says, “You didn’t desire sacrifice and offering, but you prepared a body for me.
6 Holocaustos y [expiaciones] por el pecado no te agradaron.
6 You had no pleasure in whole burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin.
7 Entonces dije: Heme aquí (en la cabecera del libro está escrito de mí) para que haga, oh Dios, tu voluntad.
7 Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come (in the scroll of the book it is written of me) to do your will, O God.’”
8 Above, saying Sacrifices and offerings and burnt-offerings and sacrifices for sin thou willedst not, neither tookest pleasure in (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,)
8 Previously saying, “Sacrifices and offerings and whole burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin you didn’t desire, neither had pleasure in them” (those which are offered according to the law),
9 then he said, Lo, I come to do thy will. He takes away the first that he may establish the second;
9 Entonces dijo: Heme aquí para que haga, oh Dios, tu voluntad. Quita lo primero, para establecer lo postrero.
9 then he has said, “Behold, I have come to do your will.” He takes away the first, that he may establish the second,
10 by which will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
10 En la cual voluntad somos santificados por la ofrenda del cuerpo de Jesucristo [hecha] una sola vez.
10 by which will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
11 And every priest stands daily ministering, and offering often the same sacrifices, which can never 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:
11 Every priest indeed stands day by day serving and offering often the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins,
12 But he, having offered one sacrifice for sins, sat down in perpetuity at [the] right hand of God,
12 Pero éste, habiendo ofrecido por los pecados un [solo] sacrificio para siempre, está sentado á la diestra de Dios,
12 but he, when he had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down on the right hand of God,
13 waiting from henceforth until his enemies be set [for the] footstool of his feet.
13 Esperando lo que resta, hasta que sus enemigos sean puestos por estrado de sus pies.
13 from that time waiting until his enemies are made the footstool of his feet.
14 For by one offering he has perfected in perpetuity the sanctified.
14 Porque con una sola ofrenda hizo perfectos para siempre á los santificados.
14 For by one offering he has perfected forever those who are being sanctified.
15 And the Holy Spirit also bears us witness [of it]; for after what was said:
15 Y atestíguanos lo mismo el Espíritu Santo; que después que dijo:
15 The Holy Spirit also testifies to us, for after saying,
16 This [is] the covenant which I will establish towards them after those days, saith [the] Lord: Giving my laws into their hearts, I will write them also in their understandings;
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;
16 “This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days,” says the Lord, “I will put my laws on their heart, I will also write them on their mind;” then he says,
17 and their sins and their lawlessnesses I will never remember any more.
17 [Añade]: Y nunca más me acordaré de sus pecados é iniquidades.
17 “I will remember their sins and their iniquities no more.”
18 But where there [is] remission of these, [there is] no longer a sacrifice for sin.
18 Pues donde hay remisión de éstos, no hay más ofrenda por pecado.
18 Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.
19 Having therefore, brethren, boldness for entering into the [holy of] holies by the blood of Jesus,
19 Así que, hermanos, teniendo libertad para entrar en el santuario por la sangre de Jesucristo,
19 Having therefore, brothers, boldness to enter into the holy place by the blood of Jesus,
20 the new and living way which he has dedicated for us through the veil, that is, his flesh,
20 Por el camino que él nos consagró nuevo y vivo, por el velo, esto es, por su carne;
20 by the way which he dedicated for us, a new and living way, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh,
21 and [having] a great priest over the house of God,
21 Y [teniendo] un gran sacerdote sobre la casa de Dios,
21 and having a great priest over God’s house,
22 let us approach with a true heart, in full assurance of faith, sprinkled as to our hearts from a wicked conscience, and washed as to our body with pure water.
22 Lleguémonos con corazón verdadero, en plena certidumbre de fe, purificados los corazones de mala conciencia, y lavados los cuerpos con agua limpia.
22 let’s draw near with a true heart in fullness of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and having our body washed with pure water,
23 Let us hold fast the confession of the hope unwavering, (for he [is] faithful who has promised;)
23 Mantengamos firme la profesión de nuestra fe sin fluctuar; que fiel es el que prometió:
23 let’s hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering; for he who promised is faithful.
24 and let us consider one another for provoking to love and good works;
24 Y considerémonos los unos á los otros para provocarnos al amor y á las buenas obras;
24 Let’s consider how to provoke one another to love and good works,
25 not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the custom [is] with some; but encouraging [one another], and by so much the more as ye see the day drawing near.
25 No dejando nuestra congregación, como algunos tienen por costumbre, mas exhortándonos; y tanto más, cuanto veis que aquel día se acerca.
25 not forsaking our own assembling together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.
26 For where we sin wilfully after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains any sacrifice for sins,
26 Porque si pecáremos voluntariamente después de haber recibido el conocimiento de la verdad, ya no queda sacrificio por el pecado.
26 For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more a sacrifice for sins,
27 but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and heat of fire about to devour the adversaries.
27 Sino una horrenda esperanza de juicio, y hervor de fuego que ha de devorar á los adversarios.
27 but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and a fierceness of fire which will devour the adversaries.
28 Any one that has disregarded Moses' law dies without mercy on [the testimony 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:
28 A man who disregards Moses’ law dies without compassion on the word of two or three witnesses.
29 of how much worse punishment, think ye, shall he be judged worthy who has trodden under foot the Son of God, and esteemed the blood of the covenant, whereby he has been sanctified, common, and has insulted 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?
29 How much worse punishment do you think he will be judged worthy of who has trodden under foot the Son of God, and has counted the blood of the covenant with which he was sanctified an unholy thing, and has insulted the Spirit of grace?
30 For we know him that said, To me [belongs] vengeance; I will recompense, saith the Lord: and again, The Lord shall 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.
30 For we know him who said, “Vengeance belongs to me. I will repay,” says the Lord. Again, “The Lord will judge his people.”
31 [It is] a fearful thing falling into [the] hands of [the] living God.
31 Horrenda cosa es caer en las manos del Dios vivo.
31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
32 But call to mind the earlier days in which, having been enlightened, ye endured much conflict of sufferings;
32 Empero traed á la memoria los días pasados, en los cuales, después de haber sido iluminados, sufristeis gran combate de aflicciones:
32 But remember the former days, in which, after you were enlightened, you endured a great struggle with sufferings:
33 on the one hand, when ye were made a spectacle both in reproaches and afflictions; and on the other, when ye became partakers with those who were passing through them.
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.
33 partly, being exposed to both reproaches and oppressions, and partly, becoming partakers with those who were treated so.
34 For ye both sympathised with prisoners and accepted with joy the plunder of your goods, knowing that ye have for yourselves a better substance, and an abiding one.
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.
34 For you both had compassion on me in my chains and joyfully accepted the plundering of your possessions, knowing that you have for yourselves a better possession and an enduring one in the heavens.
35 Cast not away therefore your confidence, which has great recompense.
35 No perdáis pues vuestra confianza, que tiene grande remuneración de galardón:
35 Therefore don’t throw away your boldness, which has a great reward.
36 For ye have need of endurance in order that, having done the will of God, ye may receive the promise.
36 Porque la paciencia os es necesaria; para que, habiendo hecho la voluntad de Dios, obtengáis la promesa.
36 For you need endurance so that, having done the will of God, you may receive the promise.
37 For yet a very little while he that comes will come, and will not delay.
37 Porque aun un poquito, y el que ha de venir vendrá, y no tardará.
37 “In a very little while, he who comes will come and will not wait.
38 But the just shall live by faith; and, if he draw back, my soul does not take pleasure in him.
38 Ahora el justo vivirá por fe; mas si se retirare, no agradará á mi alma.
38 But the righteous one will live by faith. If he shrinks back, my soul has no pleasure in him.”
39 But we are not drawers back to perdition, but of faith to saving [the] soul.
39 Pero nosotros no somos tales que nos retiremos para perdición, sino fieles para ganancia del alma.
39 But we are not of those who shrink back to destruction, but of those who have faith to the saving of the soul.

Why does my Bible say something different?
- 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).
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?

… 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.

Hear him saying, "Yet a little while, and He that cometh will come, and will not tarry. The Lord is at hand, be careful for nothing;" and again, "The fashion of this world passeth away." For neither doth he command only, but also soothes, as a physician should.
