WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)

1 τοιγαρουν και ημεισ τοσουτον εχοντεσ περικειμενον ημιν νεφοσ μαρτυρων ογκον αποθεμενοι παντα και την ευπεριστατον αμαρτιαν δι υπομονησ τρεχωμεν τον προκειμενον ημιν αγωνα

1 POR tanto nosotros también, teniendo en derredor nuestro una tan grande nube de testigos, dejando todo el peso del pecado que nos rodea, corramos con paciencia la carrera que nos es propuesta,

1 Therefore let’s also, seeing we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let’s run with perseverance the race that is set before us,

2 αφορωντεσ εισ τον τησ πιστεωσ αρχηγον και τελειωτην ιησουν οσ αντι τησ προκειμενησ αυτω χαρασ υπεμεινεν σταυρον αισχυνησ καταφρονησασ εν δεξια τε του θρονου του θεου κεκαθικεν

2 Puestos los ojos en al autor y consumador de la fe, [en] Jesús; el cual, habiéndole sido propuesto gozo, sufrió la cruz, menospreciando la vergüenza, y sentóse á la diestra del trono de Dios.

2 looking to Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising its shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

3 αναλογισασθε γαρ τον τοιαυτην υπομεμενηκοτα υπο των αμαρτωλων εισ αυτον αντιλογιαν ινα μη καμητε ταισ ψυχαισ υμων εκλυομενοι

3 Reducid pues á vuestro pensamiento á aquel que sufrió tal contradicción de pecadores contra sí mismo, porque no os fatiguéis en vuestros ánimos desmayando.

3 For consider him who has endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, that you don’t grow weary, fainting in your souls.

4 ουπω μεχρι αιματοσ αντικατεστητε προσ την αμαρτιαν ανταγωνιζομενοι

4 Que aun no habéis resistido hasta la sangre, combatiendo contra el pecado:

4 You have not yet resisted to blood, striving against sin.

5 και εκλελησθε τησ παρακλησεωσ ητισ υμιν ωσ υιοισ διαλεγεται υιε μου μη ολιγωρει παιδειασ κυριου μηδε εκλυου υπ αυτου ελεγχομενοσ

5 Y estáis ya olvidados de la exhortación que como con hijos habla con vosotros, [diciendo]: Hijo mío, no menosprecies el castigo del Señor, ni desmayes cuando eres de él reprendido.

5 You have forgotten the exhortation which reasons with you as with children, “My son, don’t take lightly the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when you are reproved by him;

6 ον γαρ αγαπα κυριοσ παιδευει μαστιγοι δε παντα υιον ον παραδεχεται

6 Porque el Señor al que ama castiga, y azota á cualquiera que recibe por hijo.

6 for whom the Lord loves, he disciplines, and chastises every son whom he receives.”

7 εισ παιδειαν υπομενετε ωσ υιοισ υμιν προσφερεται ο θεοσ τισ γαρ εστιν υιοσ ον ου παιδευει πατηρ

7 Si sufrís el castigo, Dios se os presenta como á hijos; porque ¿qué hijo es [aquel] á quien el padre no castiga?

7 It is for discipline that you endure. God deals with you as with children, for what son is there whom his father doesn’t discipline?

8 ει δε χωρισ εστε παιδειασ ησ μετοχοι γεγονασιν παντεσ αρα νοθοι εστε και ουχ υιοι

8 Mas si estáis fuera del castigo, del cual todos han sido hechos participantes, luego sois bastardos, y no hijos.

8 But if you are without discipline, of which all have been made partakers, then you are illegitimate, and not children.

9 ειτα τουσ μεν τησ σαρκοσ ημων πατερασ ειχομεν παιδευτασ και ενετρεπομεθα ου πολλω μαλλον υποταγησομεθα τω πατρι των πνευματων και ζησομεν

9 Por otra parte, tuvimos por castigadores á los padres de nuestra carne, y los reverenciábamos, ¿por qué no obedeceremos mucho mejor al Padre de los espíritus, y viviremos?

9 Furthermore, we had the fathers of our flesh to chasten us, and we paid them respect. Shall we not much rather be in subjection to the Father of spirits and live?

10 οι μεν γαρ προσ ολιγασ ημερασ κατα το δοκουν αυτοισ επαιδευον ο δε επι το συμφερον εισ το μεταλαβειν τησ αγιοτητοσ αυτου

10 Y aquéllos, á la verdad, por pocos días nos castigaban como á ellos les parecía, mas éste para lo que [nos] es provechoso, para que recibamos su santificación.

10 For they indeed for a few days disciplined us as seemed good to them, but he for our profit, that we may be partakers of his holiness.

11 πασα δε παιδεια προσ μεν το παρον ου δοκει χαρασ ειναι αλλα λυπησ υστερον δε καρπον ειρηνικον τοισ δι αυτησ γεγυμνασμενοισ αποδιδωσιν δικαιοσυνησ

11 Es verdad que ningún castigo al presente parece ser [causa] de gozo, sino de tristeza; mas después da fruto apacible de justicia á los que en él son ejercitados.

11 All chastening seems for the present to be not joyous but grievous; yet afterward it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.

12 διο τασ παρειμενασ χειρασ και τα παραλελυμενα γονατα ανορθωσατε

12 Por lo cual alzad las manos caídas y las rodillas paralizadas;

12 Therefore lift up the hands that hang down and the feeble knees,

13 και τροχιασ ορθασ ποιησατε τοισ ποσιν υμων ινα μη το χωλον εκτραπη ιαθη δε μαλλον

13 Y haced derechos pasos á vuestros pies, porque lo que es cojo no salga fuera de camino, antes sea sanado.

13 and make straight paths for your feet, so what is lame may not be dislocated, but rather be healed.

14 ειρηνην διωκετε μετα παντων και τον αγιασμον ου χωρισ ουδεισ οψεται τον κυριον

14 Seguid la paz con todos, y la santidad, sin la cual nadie verá al Señor:

14 Follow after peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no man will see the Lord,

15 επισκοπουντεσ μη τισ υστερων απο τησ χαριτοσ του θεου μη τισ ριζα πικριασ ανω φυουσα ενοχλη και δια ταυτησ μιανθωσιν πολλοι

15 Mirando bien que ninguno se aparte de la gracia de Dios, que ninguna raíz de amargura brotando [os] impida, y por ella muchos sean contaminados;

15 looking carefully lest there be any man who falls short of the grace of God, lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you and many be defiled by it,

16 μη τισ πορνοσ η βεβηλοσ ωσ ησαυ οσ αντι βρωσεωσ μιασ απεδοτο τα πρωτοτοκια αυτου

16 Que ninguno sea fornicario, ó profano, como Esaú, que por una vianda vendió su primogenitura.

16 lest there be any sexually immoral person or profane person, like Esau, who sold his birthright for one meal.

17 ιστε γαρ οτι και μετεπειτα θελων κληρονομησαι την ευλογιαν απεδοκιμασθη μετανοιασ γαρ τοπον ουχ ευρεν καιπερ μετα δακρυων εκζητησασ αυτην

17 Porque ya sabéis que aun después, deseando heredar la bendición, fué reprobado (que no halló lugar de arrepentimiento), aunque la procuró con lágrimas.

17 For you know that even when he afterward desired to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no place for a change of mind though he sought it diligently with tears.

18 ου γαρ προσεληλυθατε ψηλαφωμενω ορει και κεκαυμενω πυρι και γνοφω και σκοτω και θυελλη

18 Porque no os habéis llegado al monte que se podía tocar, y al fuego encendido, y al turbión, y á la oscuridad, y á la tempestad,

18 For you have not come to a mountain that might be touched and that burned with fire, and to blackness, darkness, storm,

19 και σαλπιγγοσ ηχω και φωνη ρηματων ησ οι ακουσαντεσ παρητησαντο μη προστεθηναι αυτοισ λογον

19 Y al sonido de la trompeta, y á la voz de las palabras, la cual los que la oyeron rogaron que no se les hablase más;

19 the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which those who heard it begged that not one more word should be spoken to them,

20 ουκ εφερον γαρ το διαστελλομενον καν θηριον θιγη του ορουσ λιθοβοληθησεται

20 Porque no podían tolerar lo que se mandaba: Si bestia tocare al monte, será apedreada, ó pasada con dardo.

20 for they could not stand that which was commanded, “If even an animal touches the mountain, it shall be stoned”.

21 και ουτωσ φοβερον ην το φανταζομενον μωυσησ ειπεν εκφοβοσ ειμι και εντρομοσ

21 Y tan terrible cosa era lo que se veía, que Moisés dijo: Estoy asombrado y temblando.

21 So fearful was the appearance that Moses said, “I am terrified and trembling.”

22 αλλα προσεληλυθατε σιων ορει και πολει θεου ζωντοσ ιερουσαλημ επουρανιω και μυριασιν αγγελων

22 Mas os habéis llegado al monte de Sión, y á la ciudad del Dios vivo, Jerusalem la celestial, y á la compañía de muchos millares de ángeles,

22 But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable multitudes of angels,

23 πανηγυρει και εκκλησια πρωτοτοκων εν ουρανοισ απογεγραμμενων και κριτη θεω παντων και πνευμασιν δικαιων τετελειωμενων

23 Y á la congregación de los primogénitos que están alistados en los cielos, y á Dios el Juez de todos, y á los espíritus de los justos hechos perfectos,

23 to the festal gathering and assembly of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect,

24 και διαθηκησ νεασ μεσιτη ιησου και αιματι ραντισμου κρειττον λαλουντι παρα τον αβελ

24 Y á Jesús el Mediador del nuevo testamento, y á la sangre del esparcimiento que habla mejor que la de Abel.

24 to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better than that of Abel.

25 βλεπετε μη παραιτησησθε τον λαλουντα ει γαρ εκεινοι ουκ εφυγον τον επι γησ παραιτησαμενοι χρηματιζοντα πολλω μαλλον ημεισ οι τον απ ουρανων αποστρεφομενοι

25 Mirad que no desechéis al que habla. Porque si aquellos no escaparon que desecharon al que hablaba en la tierra, mucho menos nosotros, si desecháramos al que habla de los cielos.

25 See that you don’t refuse him who speaks. For if they didn’t escape when they refused him who warned on the earth, how much more will we not escape who turn away from him who warns from heaven,

26 ου η φωνη την γην εσαλευσεν τοτε νυν δε επηγγελται λεγων ετι απαξ εγω σειω ου μονον την γην αλλα και τον ουρανον

26 La voz del cual entonces conmovió la tierra; mas ahora ha denunciado, diciendo: Aun una vez, y yo conmoveré no solamente la tierra, mas aun el cielo.

26 whose voice shook the earth then, but now he has promised, saying, “Yet once more I will shake not only the earth, but also the heavens.”

27 το δε ετι απαξ δηλοι των σαλευομενων την μεταθεσιν ωσ πεποιημενων ινα μεινη τα μη σαλευομενα

27 Y esta [palabra], Aun una vez, declara la mudanza de las cosas movibles, como de cosas hechas, para que queden las cosas que son firmes.

27 This phrase, “Yet once more” signifies the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that have been made, that those things which are not shaken may remain.

28 διο βασιλειαν ασαλευτον παραλαμβανοντεσ εχωμεν χαριν δι ησ λατρευομεν ευαρεστωσ τω θεω μετα αιδουσ και ευλαβειασ

28 Así que, tomando el reino inmóvil, retengamos la gracia por la cual sirvamos á Dios agradándole con temor y reverencia;

28 Therefore, receiving a Kingdom that can’t be shaken, let’s have grace, through which we serve God acceptably, with reverence and awe,

29 και γαρ ο θεοσ ημων πυρ καταναλισκον

29 Porque nuestro Dios es fuego consumidor.

29 for our God is a consuming fire.

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 12:4 John Chrysostom, Homilies on Hebrews (Homily XXIX)
There are two kinds of consolation, apparently opposed to one another, but yet contributing great strength each to the other; both of which he has here put forward.

For thus saith the holy Word: "The Lord hath severely chastened me, yet hath not given me over to death." "For whom the Lord loveth He chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom He receiveth."

… between thee and him alone." So too of sins which may create scandal the apostle says, "Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear."

Since, if the Jews, when they were to approach "a mountain that burned, and fire, and blackness, and darkness, and tempest;" --or rather when they were not so much as to approach, but both to see and to hear these things from afar;--were commanded for three days before to abstain from their wives, and to wash their garments, and were …
