PT1904 Patriarchal Text 1904 (accented, eBible edition)
1 Les digo la verdad en Cristo; no miento. Mi conciencia, guiada por el Espíritu Santo, me confirma que esto es verdad.
1 I tell the truth in Christ. I am not lying, my conscience testifying with me in the Holy Spirit
1 Ἀλήθειαν λέγω ἐν Χριστῷ, οὐ ψεύδομαι, συμμαρτυρούσης μοι τῆς συνειδήσεώς μου ἐν Πνεύματι Ἁγίῳ,
2 Me duele el corazón y siento día y noche un gran dolor.
2 that I have great sorrow and unceasing pain in my heart.
2 ὅτι λύπη μοί ἐστι μεγάλη καὶ ἀδιάλειπτος ὀδύνη τῇ καρδίᾳ μου.
3 Estaría dispuesto a condenarme eternamente lejos de Cristo, si con ello mis hermanos, los de mi propia raza, se salvaran.
3 For I could wish that I myself were accursed from Christ for my brothers’ sake, my relatives according to the flesh
3 ηὐχόμην γὰρ αὐτὸς ἐγὼ ἀνάθεμα εἶναι ἀπὸ τοῦ Χριστοῦ ὑπὲρ τῶν ἀδελφῶν μου, τῶν συγγενῶν μου κατὰ σάρκα,
4 El pueblo de Israel fue adoptado como hijo de Dios. El Señor le mostró su gloria divina; le dio los pactos, la ley, el culto y las promesas.
4 who are Israelites; whose is the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the service, and the promises;
4 οἵτινές εἰσιν Ἰσραηλῖται, ὧν ἡ υἱοθεσία καὶ ἡ δόξα καὶ αἱ διαθῆκαι καὶ ἡ νομοθεσία καὶ ἡ λατρεία καὶ αἱ ἐπαγγελίαι,
5 Los israelitas son descendientes de los patriarcas, y de ellos, según la naturaleza humana, nació Cristo, que es Dios sobre todas las cosas. ¡Bendito sea para siempre! Amén.
5 of whom are the fathers, and from whom is Christ as concerning the flesh, who is over all, God, blessed forever. Amen.
5 ὧν οἱ πατέρες, καὶ ἐξ ὧν ὁ Χριστὸς τὸ κατὰ σάρκα, ὁ ὢν ἐπὶ πάντων Θεὸς εὐλογητὸς εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας· ἀμήν.
6 Entonces, ¿perdieron valor las promesas de Dios? No. Lo que pasa es que no todos los que descienden de Israel son el verdadero pueblo de Israel.
6 But it is not as though the word of God has come to nothing. For they are not all Israel that are of Israel.
6 Οὐχ οἷον δὲ ὅτι ἐκπέπτωκεν ὁ λόγος τοῦ Θεοῦ. οὐ γὰρ πάντες οἱ ἐξ Ἰσραήλ, οὗτοι Ἰσραήλ,
7 El simple hecho de descender de Abraham no los hace verdaderos hijos de Abraham. Por eso las Escrituras dicen que las promesas se aplican sólo a un hijo de Abraham: Isaac.
7 Neither, because they are Abraham’s offspring, are they all children. But, “your offspring will be accounted as from Isaac.”
7 οὐδ᾽ ὅτι εἰσὶ σπέρμα Ἀβραάμ, πάντες τέκνα, ἀλλ᾽ ἐν Ἰσαὰκ κληθήσεταί σοι σπέρμα·
8 Esto quiere decir que no todos los hijos de Abraham son hijos de Dios. Solo se les considera verdaderos hijos, a los que lo son en cumplimiento de la promesa de Dios.
8 That is, it is not the children of the flesh who are children of God, but the children of the promise are counted as heirs.
8 τοῦτ᾽ ἔστιν οὐ τὰ τέκνα τῆς σαρκὸς ταῦτα τέκνα τοῦ Θεοῦ, ἀλλὰ τὰ τέκνα τῆς ἐπαγγελίας λογίζεται εἰς σπέρμα.
9 Porque lo que el Señor prometió fue esto: «El año que viene volveré y Sara tendrá un hijo».
9 For this is a word of promise: “At the appointed time I will come, and Sarah will have a son.”
9 ἐπαγγελίας γὰρ ὁ λόγος οὗτος· κατὰ τὸν καιρὸν τοῦτον ἐλεύσομαι καὶ ἔσται τῇ Σάρρᾳ υἱός.
10 Lo mismo sucedió con los hijos de Rebeca, que tuvieron un mismo padre, Isaac nuestro antepasado.
10 Not only so, but Rebekah also conceived by one, by our father Isaac.
10 οὐ μόνον δέ, ἀλλὰ καὶ Ῥεβέκκα ἐξ ἑνὸς κοίτην ἔχουσα, Ἰσαὰκ τοῦ πατρὸς ἡμῶν·
11 Cuando ella estaba a punto de dar a luz mellizos, y antes de que estos hicieran algo bueno o malo, Dios le dijo: «Esaú, el mayor, servirá a Jacob, el menor». Como dicen las Escrituras: «Amé a Jacob y aborrecí a Esaú». Así confirmó Dios su propósito de elegir a quien él quiere llamar, sin tomar en cuenta lo que la persona haya hecho.
11 For being not yet born, neither having done anything good or bad, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him who calls,
11 μήπω γὰρ γεννηθέντων μηδὲ πραξάντων τι ἀγαθὸν ἢ κακόν, ἵνα ἡ κατ᾽ ἐκλογὴν τοῦ Θεοῦ πρόθεσις μένῃ, οὐκ ἐξ ἔργων, ἀλλ᾽ ἐκ τοῦ καλοῦντος,
12 Not in this translation
12 it was said to her, “The elder will serve the younger.”
12 ἐρρέθη αὐτῇ ὅτι ὁ μείζων δουλεύσει τῷ ἐλάσσονι,
13 Not in this translation
13 Even as it is written, “Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.”
13 καθὼς γέγραπται· τὸν Ἰακὼβ ἠγάπησα, τὸν δὲ Ἠσαῦ ἐμίσησα.
14 Ante todo esto, ¿qué podemos decir? ¿Es Dios injusto? ¡Claro que no!
14 What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? May it never be!
14 Τί οὖν ἐροῦμεν; μὴ ἀδικία παρὰ τῷ Θεῷ; μὴ γένοιτο.
15 Es un hecho que Dios le dijo a Moisés: «Tendré misericordia de quien yo quiera, y de quien yo quiera me apiadaré».
15 For he said to Moses, “I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.”
15 τῷ γὰρ Μωϋσῇ λέγει· ἐλεήσω ὃν ἂν ἐλεῶ, καὶ οἰκτειρήσω ὃν ἂν οἰκτείρω.
16 Por eso, las bendiciones de Dios no las obtienen quienes las quieran, ni quienes se esfuercen por obtenerlas. Dependen de que Dios tenga misericordia de ellos,
16 So then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who has mercy.
16 ἄρα οὖν οὐ τοῦ θέλοντος οὐδὲ τοῦ τρέχοντος, ἀλλὰ τοῦ ἐλεοῦντος Θεοῦ.
17 porque la Escritura le dice esto al faraón: «Te hice rey precisamente para mostrar en ti mi poder, y para que mi nombre sea proclamado en el mundo entero».
17 For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, “For this very purpose I caused you to be raised up, that I might show in you my power, and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.”
17 λέγει γὰρ ἡ γραφὴ τῷ Φαραὼ ὅτι εἰς αὐτὸ τοῦτο ἐξήγειρά σε, ὅπως ἐνδείξωμαι ἐν σοὶ τὴν δύναμίν μου, καὶ ὅπως διαγγελῇ τὸ ὄνομά μου ἐν πάσῃ τῇ γῇ.
18 Como ven, Dios se apiada de quien él quiere, y endurece a quien él quiere endurecer.
18 So then, he has mercy on whom he desires, and he hardens whom he desires.
18 ἄρα οὖν ὃν θέλει ἐλεεῖ, ὃν δὲ θέλει σκληρύνει.
19 Entonces, me dirás: «¿Por qué nos condena Dios si nadie puede oponerse a lo que él quiere hacer?».
19 You will say then to me, “Why does he still find fault? For who withstands his will?”
19 Ἐρεῖς οὖν μοι· τί ἔτι μέμφεται; τῷ γὰρ βουλήματι αὐτοῦ τίς ἀνθέστηκε;
20 Y yo respondo: «¿Quién eres tú para pedirle cuentas a Dios? ¿Podrá un objeto decirle a quien lo hizo: “¿Por qué me has hecho así?”».
20 But indeed, O man, who are you to reply against God? Will the thing formed ask him who formed it, “Why did you make me like this?”
20 μενοῦνγε, ὦ ἄνθρωπε, σὺ τίς εἶ ὁ ἀνταποκρινόμενος τῷ Θεῷ; μὴ ἐρεῖ τὸ πλάσμα τῷ πλάσαντι, τί με ἐποίησας οὕτως;
21 El que hace vasos de barro, ¿no tiene acaso el derecho de hacer con el mismo barro una vasija para usos especiales y otra que sirva para uso común?
21 Or hasn’t the potter a right over the clay, from the same lump to make one part a vessel for honor, and another for dishonor?
21 ἢ οὐκ ἔχει ἐξουσίαν ὁ κεραμεὺς τοῦ πηλοῦ, ἐκ τοῦ αὐτοῦ φυράματος ποιῆσαι ὃ μὲν εἰς τιμὴν σκεῦος, ὃ δὲ εἰς ἀτιμίαν;
22 ¿Acaso no tiene Dios el mismo derecho de desatar su ira y su poder contra los que merecían su castigo y estaban preparados para destrucción, con los cuales ya había sido muy paciente?
22 What if God, willing to show his wrath and to make his power known, endured with much patience vessels of wrath prepared for destruction,
22 εἰ δὲ θέλων ὁ Θεὸς ἐνδείξασθαι τὴν ὀργὴν καὶ γνωρίσαι τὸ δυνατὸν αὐτοῦ ἤνεγκεν ἐν πολλῇ μακροθυμίᾳ σκεύη ὀργῆς κατηρτισμένα εἰς ἀπώλειαν;
23 Él también tiene derecho de llamar a personas como nosotros, judíos o gentiles, y demostrar así su gran amor y poder para salvarnos. Desde un principio tuvo compasión de nosotros y nos preparó para su gloria.
23 and that he might make known the riches of his glory on vessels of mercy, which he prepared beforehand for glory—
23 καὶ ἵνα γνωρίσῃ τὸν πλοῦτον τῆς δόξης αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ σκεύη ἐλέους, — ἃ προητοίμασεν εἰς δόξαν;
24 Not in this translation
24 us, whom he also called, not from the Jews only, but also from the Gentiles?
24 οὓς καὶ ἐκάλεσεν ἡμᾶς οὐ μόνον ἐξ Ἰουδαίων, ἀλλὰ καὶ ἐξ ἐθνῶν,
25 ¿Recuerdan lo que dice la profecía de Oseas? «Llamaré pueblo mío al que no era mi pueblo, y a un pueblo que yo no amaba le mostraré mi amor».
25 As he says also in Hosea, “I will call them ‘my people,’ which were not my people; and her ‘beloved,’ who was not beloved.”
25 ὡς καὶ ἐν τῷ Ὡσηὲ λέγει· καλέσω τὸν οὐ λαόν μου λαόν μου, καὶ τὴν οὐκ ἠγαπημένην ἠγαπημένην·
26 Y añade que los paganos, a los cuales había dicho: «No eres mi pueblo», serían llamados «hijos del Dios viviente».
26 “It will be that in the place where it was said to them, ‘You are not my people,’ there they will be called ‘children of the living God.’”
26 καὶ ἔσται ἐν τῷ τόπῳ οὗ ἐρρέθη αὐτοῖς, οὐ λαός μου ὑμεῖς, ἐκεῖ κληθήσονται υἱοὶ Θεοῦ ζῶντος.
27 El profeta Isaías dijo esto tocante a los israelitas: «Aunque sean tan numerosos como la arena del mar, sólo un pequeño grupo se salvará,
27 Isaiah cries concerning Israel, “If the number of the children of Israel are as the sand of the sea, it is the remnant who will be saved;
27 Ἡσαΐας δὲ κράζει ὑπὲρ τοῦ Ἰσραήλ· ἐὰν ᾖ ὁ ἀριθμὸς τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ ὡς ἡ ἄμμος τῆς θαλάσσης, τὸ κατάλειμμα σωθήσεται·
28 porque el Señor ejecutará su sentencia sobre la tierra plenamente y sin tardar».
28 for he will finish the work and cut it short in righteousness, because the Lord will make a short work upon the earth.”
28 λόγον γὰρ συντελῶν καὶ συντέμνων ἐν δικαιοσύνῃ, ὅτι λόγον συντετμημένον ποιήσει Κύριος ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς.
29 Y añade en otro lugar: «Si no fuera porque el Señor Todopoderoso nos dejó descendientes, ahora mismo seríamos como las ciudades de Sodoma y Gomorra».
29 As Isaiah has said before, “Unless the Lord of Armies had left us a seed, we would have become like Sodom, and would have been made like Gomorrah.”
29 καὶ καθὼς προείρηκεν Ἡσαΐας, εἰ μὴ Κύριος Σαβαὼθ ἐγκατέλιπεν ἡμῖν σπέρμα, ὡς Σόδομα ἂν ἐγενήθημεν καὶ ὡς Γόμορρα ἂν ὡμοιώθημεν.
30 En conclusión, ¿qué más podemos decir? Pues que a los gentiles que no buscaban que Dios los aceptara, Dios los hizo justos porque creyeron en él.
30 What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, who didn’t follow after righteousness, attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith;
30 Τί οὖν ἐροῦμεν; ὅτι ἔθνη τὰ μὴ διώκοντα δικαιοσύνην κατέλαβε δικαιοσύνην, δικαιοσύνην δὲ τὴν ἐκ πίστεως,
31 Pero Israel, que con tanto ardor trató de guardar la ley para quedar bien con Dios, nunca lo logró.
31 but Israel, following after a law of righteousness, didn’t arrive at the law of righteousness.
31 Ἰσραὴλ δὲ διώκων νόμον δικαιοσύνης εἰς νόμον δικαιοσύνης οὐκ ἔφθασε.
32 ¿Y por qué no? Porque los israelitas trataron de salvarse haciendo buenas obras, como si eso fuera posible, y no confiando en Dios. Por eso, dieron contra la gran «piedra de tropiezo».
32 Why? Because they didn’t seek it by faith, but as it were by works of the law. They stumbled over the stumbling stone,
32 διατί; ὅτι οὐκ ἐκ πίστεως, ἀλλ᾽ ὡς ἐξ ἔργων νόμου· προσέκοψαν γὰρ τῷ λίθῳ τοῦ προσκόμματος,
33 Así está escrito: «He puesto en Sion una piedra y muchos tropezarán con ella. Mas los que crean en ella jamás se arrepentirán de haberlo hecho».
33 even as it is written, “Behold, I lay in Zion a stumbling stone and a rock of offense; and no one who believes in him will be disappointed.”
33 καθὼς γέγραπται· ἰδοὺ τίθημι ἐν Σιὼν λίθον προσκόμματος καὶ πέτραν σκανδάλου, καὶ πᾶς ὁ πιστεύων ἐπ᾽ αὐτῷ οὐ καταισχυνθήσεται.

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).
Did I not seem yesterday to you to have spoken some great and exorbitant things of Paul's love toward Christ? And great indeed they were, too great for any words to express. Yet what you have heard to-day are as far above those things, as those things were above ours.
