PT1904 Patriarchal Text 1904 (accented, eBible edition)
1 La Ley, que tiene [la ]sombra de los bienes futuros, no la misma imagen de las cosas, nunca puede perfeccionar a los que se acercan por medio de los mismos sacrificios que se ofrecen continuamente cada año.
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.
1 Σκιὰν γὰρ ἔχων ὁ νόμος τῶν μελλόντων ἀγαθῶν, οὐκ αὐτὴν τὴν εἰκόνα τῶν πραγμάτων, κατ᾽ ἐνιαυτὸν ταῖς αὐταῖς θυσίαις ἃς προσφέρουσιν εἰς τὸ διηνεκές, οὐδέποτε δύναται τοὺς προσερχομένους τελειῶσαι·
2 Si así fuera, ¿no habrían dejado de ofrecerse, después de ser purificados una vez, por ya no estar conscientes de haber 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?
2 ἐπεὶ οὐκ ἂν ἐπαύσαντο προσφερόμεναι, διὰ τὸ μηδεμίαν ἔχειν ἔτι συνείδησιν ἁμαρτιῶν τοὺς λατρεύοντας, ἅπαξ κεκαθαρμένους;
3 Pero con [los sacrificios] hay un recuerdo de pecados cada año,
3 But in those sacrifices there is a yearly reminder of sins.
3 ἀλλ᾽ ἐν αὐταῖς ἀνάμνησις ἁμαρτιῶν κατ᾽ ἐνιαυτόν·
4 porque es imposible que [la] sangre de toros y machos cabríos borre pecados.
4 For it is impossible that the blood of bulls and goats should take away sins.
4 ἀδύνατον γὰρ αἷμα ταύρων καὶ τράγων ἀφαιρεῖν ἁμαρτίας.
5◆ Por tanto [Cristo], al entrar en el mundo, dice: Sacrificio y ofrenda no quisiste, Pero me preparaste 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.
5 Διὸ εἰσερχόμενος εἰς τὸν κόσμον λέγει· θυσίαν καὶ προσφορὰν οὐκ ἠθέλησας, σῶμα δὲ κατηρτίσω μοι·
6◆ Holocaustos y [sacrificios] por [los ]pecados no te deleitaron.
6 You had no pleasure in whole burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin.
6 ὁλοκαυτώματα καὶ περὶ ἁμαρτίας οὐκ εὐδόκησας·
7◆ Entonces dije: Aquí vengo, oh Dios, para hacer tu voluntad, Como en la cabecilla de un rollo fue escrito acerca de Mí.
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.’”
7 τότε εἶπον· ἰδοὺ ἥκω, ἐν κεφαλίδι βιβλίου γέγραπται περὶ ἐμοῦ, τοῦ ποιῆσαι, ὁ Θεός, τὸ θέλημά σου.
8 Dijo antes: Sacrificios, ofrendas y holocaustos por [el ]pecado, ofrecidos según [la] Ley, no quisiste ni te agradaron.
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),
8 ἀνώτερον λέγων ὅτι θυσίαν καὶ προσφορὰν καὶ ὁλοκαυτώματα καὶ περὶ ἁμαρτίας οὐκ ἠθέλησας οὐδὲ εὐδόκησας, αἵτινες κατὰ τὸν νόμον προσφέρονται,
9 Entonces dijo: Aquí estoy. Vengo para hacer tu voluntad. Él quita lo primero para establecer lo segundo.
9 then he has said, “Behold, I have come to do your will.” He takes away the first, that he may establish the second,
9 τότε εἴρηκεν· ἰδοὺ ἥκω τοῦ ποιῆσαι, ὁ Θεός, τὸ θέλημά σου. ἀναιρεῖ τὸ πρῶτον ἵνα τὸ δεύτερον στήσῃ.
10 Según esta voluntad fuimos santificados una vez por todas mediante la ofrenda del cuerpo de Jesucristo.
10 by which will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
10 ἐν ᾧ θελήματι ἡγιασμένοι ἐσμὲν διὰ τῆς προσφορᾶς τοῦ σώματος τοῦ Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ ἐφάπαξ.
11 Todo sacerdote ciertamente está en pie cada día, ministra y ofrece muchas veces los mismos sacrificios que nunca pueden remover pecados.
11 Every priest indeed stands day by day serving and offering often the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins,
11 Καὶ πᾶς μὲν ἱερεὺς ἕστηκε καθ᾽ ἡμέραν λειτουργῶν καὶ τὰς αὐτὰς πολλάκις προσφέρων θυσίας, αἵτινες οὐδέποτε δύνανται περιελεῖν ἁμαρτίας·
12 Pero Éste, después de ofrecer un solo sacrificio para siempre por [los] pecados, se sentó a [la ]derecha de Dios,
12 but he, when he had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down on the right hand of God,
12 αὐτὸς δὲ μίαν ὑπὲρ ἁμαρτιῶν προσενέγκας θυσίαν εἰς τὸ διηνεκὲς ἐκάθισεν ἐν δεξιᾷ τοῦ Θεοῦ,
13 y desde entonces espera hasta que sus enemigos sean puestos como tarima de sus pies.
13 from that time waiting until his enemies are made the footstool of his feet.
13 τὸ λοιπὸν ἐκδεχόμενος ἕως τεθῶσιν οἱ ἐχθροὶ αὐτοῦ ὑποπόδιον τῶν ποδῶν αὐτοῦ.
14 Porque [Cristo] perfeccionó para siempre a los santificados con una sola ofrenda.
14 For by one offering he has perfected forever those who are being sanctified.
14 μιᾷ γὰρ προσφορᾷ τετελείωκεν εἰς τὸ διηνεκὲς τοὺς ἁγιαζομένους.
15 El Espíritu Santo también testifica, porque después de decir:
15 The Holy Spirit also testifies to us, for after saying,
15 Μαρτυρεῖ δὲ ἡμῖν καὶ τὸ Πνεῦμα τὸ Ἅγιον· μετὰ γὰρ τὸ προειρηκέναι,
16 Este es el Pacto que haré con ellos después de aquellos días, dice el Señor: pondré mis Leyes en sus corazones, y las escribiré en sus mentes,
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,
16 αὕτη ἡ διαθήκη ἣν διαθήσομαι πρὸς αὐτοὺς μετὰ τὰς ἡμέρας ἐκείνας, λέγει Κύριος· διδοὺς νόμους μου ἐπὶ καρδίας αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐπὶ τῶν διανοιῶν αὐτῶν ἐπιγράψω αὐτούς,
17 añade: Nunca más me acordaré de sus pecados ni de sus iniquidades.
17 “I will remember their sins and their iniquities no more.”
17 καὶ τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν αὐτῶν καὶ τῶν ἀνομιῶν αὐτῶν οὐ μὴ μνησθῶ ἔτι.
18 Donde hay perdón, ya no hay ofrenda por el pecado.
18 Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.
18 ὅπου δὲ ἄφεσις τούτων, οὐκέτι προσφορὰ περὶ ἁμαρτίας.
19 Así que, hermanos, puesto que tenemos confianza para entrar al Lugar Santísimo por la sangre de Jesús,
19 Having therefore, brothers, boldness to enter into the holy place by the blood of Jesus,
19 Ἔχοντες οὖν, ἀδελφοί, παρρησίαν εἰς τὴν εἴσοδον τῶν Ἁγίων ἐν τῷ αἵματι τοῦ Ἰησοῦ,
20 la cual nos inauguró un camino nuevo y vivo, por medio de la cortina, es decir, de su cuerpo,
20 by the way which he dedicated for us, a new and living way, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh,
20 ἣν ἐνεκαίνισεν ἡμῖν ὁδὸν πρόσφατον καὶ ζῶσαν διὰ τοῦ καταπετάσματος, τοῦτ᾽ ἔστι τῆς σαρκὸς αὐτοῦ,
21 y [el] gran Sacerdote sobre la Casa de Dios,
21 and having a great priest over God’s house,
21 καὶ ἱερέα μέγαν ἐπὶ τὸν οἶκον τοῦ Θεοῦ,
22 y que fuimos purificados de mala conciencia y nos lavamos los cuerpos con agua pura, acerquémonos con corazón verdadero, en plena certidumbre de fe.
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,
22 προσερχώμεθα μετὰ ἀληθινῆς καρδίας ἐν πληροφορίᾳ πίστεως ἐρραντισμένοι τὰς καρδίας ἀπὸ συνειδήσεως πονηρᾶς,
23 Sostengamos firme la confesión de nuestra esperanza sin fluctuar, porque el que prometió es fiel.
23 let’s hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering; for he who promised is faithful.
23 καὶ λελουμένοι τὸ σῶμα ὕδατι καθαρῷ κατέχωμεν τὴν ὁμολογίαν τῆς ἐλπίδος ἀκλινῆ· πιστὸς γὰρ ὁ ἐπαγγειλάμενος·
24 Considerémonos los unos a los otros para estimularnos al amor y las buenas obras,
24 Let’s consider how to provoke one another to love and good works,
24 καὶ κατανοῶμεν ἀλλήλους εἰς παροξυσμὸν ἀγάπης καὶ καλῶν ἔργων,
25 sin dejar de congregarnos, como algunos acostumbran, sino exhortémonos, y tanto más cuando ven que el 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.
25 μὴ ἐγκαταλείποντες τὴν ἐπισυναγωγὴν ἑαυτῶν, καθὼς ἔθος τισίν, ἀλλὰ παρακαλοῦντες, καὶ τοσούτῳ μᾶλλον, ὅσῳ βλέπετε ἐγγίζουσαν τὴν ἡμέραν.
26 Porque si continuamos voluntariamente en el pecado, después de recibir el conocimiento de la verdad, ya no queda sacrificio por [los] pecados,
26 For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more a sacrifice for sins,
26 Ἑκουσίως γὰρ ἁμαρτανόντων ἡμῶν μετὰ τὸ λαβεῖν τὴν ἐπίγνωσιν τῆς ἀληθείας, οὐκέτι περὶ ἁμαρτιῶν ἀπολείπεται θυσία,
27 sino una horrenda espera de juicio y ardor de fuego que devora a los adversarios.
27 but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and a fierceness of fire which will devour the adversaries.
27 φοβερὰ δέ τις ἐκδοχὴ κρίσεως καὶ πυρὸς ζῆλος ἐσθίειν μέλλοντος τοὺς ὑπεναντίους.
28 Por el testimonio de dos o tres testigos, el que viola [la] Ley de Moisés muere sin compasión.
28 A man who disregards Moses’ law dies without compassion on the word of two or three witnesses.
28 ἀθετήσας τις νόμον Μωϋσέως χωρὶς οἰκτιρμῶν ἐπὶ δυσὶν ἢ τρισὶ μάρτυσιν ἀποθνήσκει·
29 ¿Cuánto castigo peor merece el que pisotea al Hijo de Dios, tiene como impura la sangre del Pacto por la cual fue santificado y afrenta al Espíritu de la 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?
29 πόσῳ δοκεῖτε χείρονος ἀξιωθήσεται τιμωρίας ὁ τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ Θεοῦ καταπατήσας καὶ τὸ αἷμα τῆς διαθήκης κοινὸν ἡγησάμενος, ἐν ᾧ ἡγιάσθη, καὶ τὸ Πνεῦμα τῆς χάριτος ἐνυβρίσας;
30 Porque conocemos al que dijo: Mía es [la] venganza. Yo pagaré. Y otra vez: [El] Señor juzgará a 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.”
30 οἴδαμεν γὰρ τὸν εἰπόντα· ἐμοὶ ἐκδίκησις, ἐγὼ ἀνταποδώσω[, λέγει Κύριος]· καὶ πάλιν· Κύριος κρινεῖ τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ.
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.
31 φοβερὸν τὸ ἐμπεσεῖν εἰς χεῖρας Θεοῦ ζῶντος.
32 Pero recuerden los días pasados en los cuales, después de ser iluminados, soportaron una gran lucha de padecimientos.
32 But remember the former days, in which, after you were enlightened, you endured a great struggle with sufferings:
32 Ἀναμιμνήσκεσθε δὲ τὰς πρότερον ἡμέρας, ἐν αἷς φωτισθέντες πολλὴν ἄθλησιν ὑπεμείνατε παθημάτων,
33 Al ser sometidos a reproches y aflicciones, ciertamente fueron compañeros de los maltratados.
33 partly, being exposed to both reproaches and oppressions, and partly, becoming partakers with those who were treated so.
33 τοῦτο μὲν ὀνειδισμοῖς τε καὶ θλίψεσι θεατριζόμενοι, τοῦτο δὲ κοινωνοὶ τῶν οὕτως ἀναστρεφομένων γενηθέντες.
34 Porque se compadecieron de los presos y sufrieron con gozo el despojo de sus bienes, pues saben que tienen una herencia mejor y perdurable en los cielos.
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.
34 καὶ γὰρ τοῖς δεσμοῖς μου συνεπαθήσατε καὶ τὴν ἁρπαγὴν τῶν ὑπαρχόντων ὑμῶν μετὰ χαρᾶς προσεδέξασθε, γινώσκοντες ἔχειν ἐν ἑαυτοῖς κρείττονα ὕπαρξιν ἐν οὐρανοῖς καὶ μένουσαν.
35 Por tanto no pierdan su confianza pues tienen una gran recompensa.
35 Therefore don’t throw away your boldness, which has a great reward.
35 Μὴ ἀποβάλητε οὖν τὴν παρρησίαν ὑμῶν, ἥτις ἔχει μισθαποδοσίαν μεγάλην.
36 Porque es necesaria la paciencia, para que, después de hacer la voluntad de Dios, obtengan la promesa.
36 For you need endurance so that, having done the will of God, you may receive the promise.
36 ὑπομονῆς γὰρ ἔχετε χρείαν, ἵνα τὸ θέλημα τοῦ Θεοῦ ποιήσαντες κομίσησθε τὴν ἐπαγγελίαν.
37 Porque aún un poco, y el que viene vendrá, y no tardará.
37 “In a very little while, he who comes will come and will not wait.
37 ἔτι γὰρ μικρὸν ὅσον ὅσον, ὁ ἐρχόμενος ἥξει καὶ οὐ χρονιεῖ.
38 Pero el justo vivirá por fe. Y si retrocede, mi alma no se deleitará en él.
38 But the righteous one will live by faith. If he shrinks back, my soul has no pleasure in him.”
38 ὁ δὲ δίκαιος ἐκ πίστεως ζήσεται· καὶ ἐὰν ὑποστείληται, οὐκ εὐδοκεῖ ἡ ψυχή μου ἐν αὐτῷ.
39 Pero nosotros no somos de los que retroceden para destrucción, sino de los que tienen fe para [la] preservación 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.
39 ἡμεῖς δὲ οὐκ ἐσμὲν ὑποστολῆς εἰς ἀπώλειαν, ἀλλὰ πίστεως εἰς περιποίησιν ψυχῆς.

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).

  1. 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?

    … 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.
