Hebrews 10 Unlocked Literal Bible

1 For the law is only a shadow of the good things to come, not the real forms of those things themselves. Those who approach God can never be made perfect by the same sacrifices that the priests continually bring year after year.
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 Otherwise, would the sacrifices not have ceased to be offered? For the worshipers would have been cleansed one time and would no longer have any consciousness of sin.
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 with those sacrifices there is a reminder of sins year after year.
3 Empero en estos [sacrificios] cada año se hace conmemoración de los pecados.
4 For it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.
4 Porque la sangre de los toros y de los machos cabríos no puede quitar los pecados.
5◆ When Christ came into the world, he said, “Sacrifices and offerings you did not desire, but a body you have prepared for me;
5 Por lo cual, entrando en el mundo, dice: Sacrificio y presente no quisiste; mas me apropiaste cuerpo:
6 Holocaustos y [expiaciones] por el pecado no te agradaron.
7 Entonces dije: Heme aquí (en la cabecera del libro está escrito de mí) para que haga, oh Dios, tu voluntad.
8 First he said, “It was neither sacrifices, nor offerings, nor whole burnt offerings, nor sacrifices for sin that you desired. Nor did you take pleasure in them.” These are sacrifices that 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 he said, “See, here I am to do your will.” He takes away the first practice in order to establish the second practice.
9 Entonces dijo: Heme aquí para que haga, oh Dios, tu voluntad. Quita lo primero, para establecer lo postrero.
10 By that 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 Day after day every priest stands and performs his service to God. He offers the same sacrifices again and again—sacrifices that 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 when Christ offered for all time one sacrifice for sins, he sat down 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 He is waiting until his enemies are made a stool for his feet.
13 Esperando lo que resta, hasta que sus enemigos sean puestos por estrado de sus pies.
14 For by one offering he has perfected forever those who are being sanctified.
14 Porque con una sola ofrenda hizo perfectos para siempre á los santificados.
15 The Holy Spirit also testifies to us. First he 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, says the Lord. I will put my laws in their hearts, and I will write them on their minds.
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 Their sins and lawless deeds I will remember no longer.”
17 [Añade]: Y nunca más me acordaré de sus pecados é iniquidades.
18 Now where there is forgiveness for these, there is no longer any sacrifice for sin.
18 Pues donde hay remisión de éstos, no hay más ofrenda por pecado.
19 Therefore, brothers, we have confidence to enter into the most holy place by the blood of Jesus.
19 Así que, hermanos, teniendo libertad para entrar en el santuario por la sangre de Jesucristo,
20 That is the new and living way that he has opened for us through the curtain, that is, by means of his flesh.
20 Por el camino que él nos consagró nuevo y vivo, por el velo, esto es, por su carne;
21 Because we have a great priest over the house of God,
21 Y [teniendo] un gran sacerdote sobre la casa de Dios,
22 let us approach with true hearts in the full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and having our bodies 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 also hold tightly to the confession of our hope without wavering, because God, who has promised, is faithful.
23 Mantengamos firme la profesión de nuestra fe sin fluctuar; que fiel es el que prometió:
24 Let us consider how to motivate one another to love and good deeds.
24 Y considerémonos los unos á los otros para provocarnos al amor y á las buenas obras;
25 Let us not stop meeting together, as some have done. Instead, encourage one another more and more, and all the more as you see the day coming closer.
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 deliberately go on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, a sacrifice for sins no longer exists.
26 Porque si pecáremos voluntariamente después de haber recibido el conocimiento de la verdad, ya no queda sacrificio por el pecado.
27 Instead, there is only a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and a fury of fire that will consume God's enemies.
27 Sino una horrenda esperanza de juicio, y hervor de fuego que ha de devorar á los adversarios.
28 Anyone who has rejected the law of Moses dies without mercy at the testimony 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 How much worse punishment do you think one deserves who has trampled underfoot the Son of God, who treated the blood of the covenant as unholy—the blood by which he was sanctified—and insulted 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 the one who said, “Vengeance belongs to me; I will pay back.” And again, “The Lord will 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 remember the former days, after you were enlightened, how you endured a great struggle in suffering.
32 Empero traed á la memoria los días pasados, en los cuales, después de haber sido iluminados, sufristeis gran combate de aflicciones:
33 You were exposed to public ridicule by insults and persecution, and you were sharing with those who went through such suffering.
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 you had compassion on those who were prisoners, and you accepted with joy the seizure of your possessions. You knew that you yourselves had a better and everlasting possession.
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 So do not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward.
35 No perdáis pues vuestra confianza, que tiene grande remuneración de galardón:
36 For you need patience, so that you may receive what God has promised, after you have done his will.
36 Porque la paciencia os es necesaria; para que, habiendo hecho la voluntad de Dios, obtengáis la promesa.
37 “For in a very little while, the one who is coming will indeed come and not delay.
37 Porque aun un poquito, y el que ha de venir vendrá, y no tardará.
38 My righteous one will live by faith. If he shrinks back, I will not be pleased with him.”
38 Ahora el justo vivirá por fe; mas si se retirare, no agradará á mi alma.
39 But we are not any of those who turn back to destruction. Instead, we are some of those who have faith for keeping our 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).
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.

… 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.

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.
