RV Revised Version with Apocrypha

RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909

1 For the law having a shadow of the good [things ]to come, not the very image of the things, they can never with the same sacrifices year by year, which they offer continually, make perfect them that draw nigh.

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 Else would they not have ceased to be offered, because the worshippers, having been once cleansed, would have had no more 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.

3 But in those [sacrifices ]there is a remembrance made of sins year by year.

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

4 For it is impossible that the blood of bulls and goats should take away sins.

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

5 ◆ Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, But a body didst thou prepare for me;

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

6 ◆ In whole burnt offerings and [sacrifices ]for sin thou hadst no pleasure:

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

7 ◆ Then said I, Lo, I am come (In the roll of the book it is written of me) To do 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 Saying above, Sacrifices and offerings and whole burnt offerings and [sacrifices ]for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein (the 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,)

9 then hath he said, Lo, I am come to do thy will. He taketh 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.

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.

11 And every priest indeed standeth day by day ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, the 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:

12 but he, when he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on 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 from henceforth expecting till his enemies be made the footstool of his feet.

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

14 For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.

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

15 And the Holy Ghost also beareth witness to us: for after he hath said,

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

16 This is the covenant that I will make with them After those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws on their heart, And upon their mind also will I write them; [then saith he],

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 sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.

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

18 Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.

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

19 Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holy place by the blood of Jesus,

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

20 by the way which he dedicated for us, a new and living way, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;

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

21 and [having ]a great priest over the house of God;

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

22 let us draw near with a true heart in fulness of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our body washed 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.

23 let us hold fast the confession of our hope that it waver not; for he is faithful that promised:

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

24 and let us consider one another to provoke unto love and good works;

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

25 not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting [one another]; and so much the more, as ye see the day drawing nigh.

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 sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more a sacrifice for sins,

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

27 but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and a fierceness of fire which shall devour the adversaries.

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

28 A man that hath set at nought Moses’ law dieth without compassion on [the word 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:

29 of how much sorer punishment, think ye, shall he be judged worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto 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 said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense. 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.

31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

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

32 But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after ye were enlightened, ye endured a great 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:

33 partly, being made a gazingstock both by reproaches and afflictions; and partly, becoming partakers with them that were so used.

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 ye both had compassion on them that were in bonds, and took joyfully the spoiling of your possessions, knowing that ye yourselves have a better possession 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.

35 Cast not away therefore your boldness, which hath great recompense of reward.

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

36 For ye have need of patience, 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.

37 For yet a very little while, He that cometh shall come, and shall not tarry.

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

38 But my righteous one shall live by faith: And if he shrink back, my soul hath 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 of them that shrink back unto perdition; but of them that have faith unto the saving of the soul.

39 Pero nosotros no somos tales que nos retiremos para perdición, sino fieles para ganancia del alma.

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).

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.
