GNV Geneva Bible (1599)

RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909

1 For the Law hauing the shadowe of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can neuer with those sacrifices, which they offer yeere by yeere continually, sanctifie the commers thereunto.

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 For would they not then haue ceased to haue bene offered, because that the offerers once purged, should haue had no more conscience of sinnes?

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

3 But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance againe of sinnes euery yeere.

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

4 For it is vnpossible that the blood of bulles and goates should take away sinnes.

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

5 ◆ Wherefore when he commeth into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offring thou wouldest not: but a body hast thou ordeined me.

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

6 ◆ In burnt offerings, and sinne offrings thou hast had no pleasure.

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

7 ◆ Then I sayd, Lo, I come (In the beginning of the booke it is written of me) that I should doe thy 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 Aboue, when he sayd, Sacrifice and offring, and burnt offrings, and sinne offrings thou wouldest not haue, neither hadst pleasure therein (which are offered by the Lawe)

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 sayd he, Lo, I come to doe thy wil, O God, he taketh away the first, that he may stablish the second.

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

10 By the which wil we are sanctified, euen by the offring of the body of Iesus Christ once made.

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

11 And euery Priest standeth dayly ministring, and oft times offreth one maner of offring, which can neuer take away sinnes:

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 after he had offered one sacrifice for sinnes, sitteth for euer 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,

13 And from hencefoorth tarieth, till his enemies be made his footestoole.

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

14 For with one offering hath he consecrated for euer them that are sanctified.

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

15 For the holy Ghost also beareth vs record: for after that he had sayd before,

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

16 This is the Testament that I will make vnto them after those dayes, sayth the Lord, I wil put my Lawes in their heart, and in their mindes I will write them.

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 their sinnes and iniquities will I remember no more.

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

18 Nowe where remission of these things is, there is no more offering for sinne.

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

19 Seeing therefore, brethren, that by the blood of Iesus we may be bolde to enter into the Holy place,

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

20 By the newe and liuing way, which hee hath prepared for vs, through the vaile, that is, his flesh:

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

21 And seeing we haue an hie Priest, which is ouer the house of God,

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

22 Let vs drawe neere with a true heart in assurance of faith, our hearts being pure from an euill conscience,

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

23 And washed in our bodies with pure water, let vs keepe the profession of our hope, without wauering, (for he is faithfull that promised)

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

24 And let vs consider one another, to prouoke vnto loue, and to good workes,

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

25 Not forsaking the fellowship that we haue among our selues, as the maner of some is: but let vs exhort one another, and that so much the more, because ye see that the day draweth neere.

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 sinne willingly after that we haue receiued and acknowledged that trueth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sinnes,

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

27 But a fearefull looking for of iudgement, and violent fire, which shall deuoure the aduersaries.

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

28 He that despiseth Moses Law, dieth without mercy vnder 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 Of howe much sorer punishment suppose ye shall hee be worthy, which treadeth vnder foote the Sonne of God, and counteth the blood of the Testament as an vnholy thing, wherewith he was sanctified, and doeth despite 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 him that hath sayd, Vengeance belongeth vnto mee: I will recompense, saith the Lord. And againe, The Lord shall iudge 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 a fearefull thing to fall into the hands of the liuing God.

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

32 Nowe call to remembrance the dayes that are passed, in the which, after ye had receiued light, ye endured a great fight in afflictions,

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

33 Partly while yee were made a gazing stocke both by reproches and afflictions, and partly while ye became companions of them which were so tossed to and from.

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 both ye sorowed with mee for my bonds, and suffered with ioy the spoyling of your goods, knowing in your selues howe that ye haue in heauen a better, and an enduring 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 Cast not away therefore your confidence which hath great recompense of reward.

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

36 For ye haue neede of patience, that after ye haue done the will of God, ye might receiue the promise.

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

37 For yet a very litle while, and hee that shall come, will come, and will not tary.

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

38 Nowe the iust shall liue by faith: but if any withdrawe himselfe, my soule shall haue no pleasure in him.

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

39 But we are not they which withdrawe our selues vnto perdition, but follow faith vnto the conseruation of the soule.

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.

Quotes verse 10:22 Cyril of Jerusalem, Catechetical Lectures (Lecture III)
… one incorporeal for the incorporeal part, and the other bodily for the body: the water cleanses the body, and the Spirit seals the soul; that we may draw near unto God, having our heart sprinkled by the Spirit, and our body washed with pure water.

You hope to "reign with" Christ; but you "do despite unto the Spirit of grace" by assigning Him the rank of a slave and a subordinate.

Quotes verse 10:37 John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Gospel of Matthew (Homily LXXIV)
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.
