RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909

WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)

1 For the law having a shadow of the coming good things — not the very image of the matters, every year, by the same sacrifices that they offer continually, is never able to make perfect those coming near,

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.

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.

2 since, would they not have ceased to be offered, because of those serving having no more conscience of sins, having once been purified?

2 De otra manera cesarían de ofrecerse; porque los que tributan [este] culto, limpios de una vez, no tendrían más conciencia de 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?

3 but in those [sacrifices] is a remembrance of sins every year,

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

3 But in those sacrifices there is a yearly reminder of sins.

4 for it is impossible for 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.

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

5 ◆ Wherefore, coming into the world, he saith, 'Sacrifice and offering Thou didst not will, and a body Thou didst prepare for me,

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

6 ◆ in burnt-offerings, and concerning sin-offerings, Thou didst not delight,

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

6 You had no pleasure in whole burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin.

7 ◆ then I said, Lo, I come, (in a volume of the book it hath been written concerning me,) to do, O God, Thy will;'

7 Entonces dije: Heme aquí (en la cabecera del libro está escrito de mí) para que haga, oh Dios, tu voluntad.

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.’”

8 saying above — 'Sacrifice, and offering, and burnt-offerings, and concerning sin-offering Thou didst not will, nor delight in,' — which according to the law are offered —

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,)

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),

9 then he said, 'Lo, I come to do, O God, Thy will;' he doth take away the first that the second he may establish;

9 Entonces dijo: Heme aquí para que haga, oh Dios, tu voluntad. Quita lo primero, para establecer lo postrero.

9 then he has said, “Behold, I have come to do your will.” He takes away the first, that he may establish the second,

10 in the which will we are having been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once,

10 En la cual voluntad somos santificados por la ofrenda del cuerpo de Jesucristo [hecha] una sola vez.

10 by which will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

11 and every priest, indeed, hath stood daily serving, and the same sacrifices many times offering, that are never able to 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:

11 Every priest indeed stands day by day serving and offering often the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins,

12 And He, for sin one sacrifice having offered — to the end, did sit 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,

12 but he, when he had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down on the right hand of God,

13 as to the rest, expecting till He may place his enemies [as] his footstool,

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

13 from that time waiting until his enemies are made the footstool of his feet.

14 for by one offering he hath perfected to the end those sanctified;

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

14 For by one offering he has perfected forever those who are being sanctified.

15 and testify to us also doth the Holy Spirit, for after that He hath said before,

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

15 The Holy Spirit also testifies to us, for after saying,

16 'This [is] the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, giving My laws on their hearts, and upon their minds I will write them,'

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;

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,

17 and 'their sins and their lawlessness I will remember no more;'

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

17 “I will remember their sins and their iniquities no more.”

18 and where forgiveness of these [is], there is no more offering for sin.

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

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

19 Having, therefore, brethren, boldness for the entrance into the holy places, in the blood of Jesus,

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

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

20 which way he did initiate for us — new and living, through the vail, that is, his flesh —

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

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

21 and a high priest over the house of God,

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

21 and having a great priest over God’s house,

22 may we draw near with a true heart, in full assurance of faith, having the hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and having the body bathed 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.

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,

23 may we hold fast the unwavering profession of the hope, (for faithful [is] He who did promise),

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

23 let’s hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering; for he who promised is faithful.

24 and may we consider one another to provoke to love and to good works,

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

24 Let’s consider how to provoke one another to love and good works,

25 not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as a custom of certain [is], but exhorting, and so much the more as ye see the day coming nigh.

25 No dejando nuestra congregación, como algunos tienen por costumbre, mas exhortándonos; y tanto más, cuanto veis que aquel 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.

26 For we — wilfully sinning after the receiving the full knowledge of the truth — no more for sins doth there remain a sacrifice,

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

26 For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more a sacrifice for sins,

27 but a certain fearful looking for of judgment, and fiery zeal, about to devour the opposers;

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

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

28 any one who did set at nought a law of Moses, apart from mercies, by two or three witnesses, doth die,

28 El que menospreciare la ley de Moisés, por el testimonio de dos ó de tres testigos muere sin ninguna misericordia:

28 A man who disregards Moses’ law dies without compassion on the word of two or three witnesses.

29 of how much sorer punishment shall he be counted worthy who the Son of God did trample on, and the blood of the covenant did count a common thing, in which he was sanctified, and to the Spirit of the grace did despite?

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?

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?

30 for we have known Him who is saying, 'Vengeance [is] Mine, I will recompense, saith the Lord;' 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.

30 For we know him who said, “Vengeance belongs to me. I will repay,” says the Lord. Again, “The Lord will judge his people.”

31 fearful [is] the falling into the hands of a living God.

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.

32 And call to your remembrance the former days, in which, having been enlightened, ye did endure much 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:

32 But remember the former days, in which, after you were enlightened, you endured a great struggle with sufferings:

33 partly both with reproaches and tribulations being made spectacles, and partly having become partners of those so living,

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.

33 partly, being exposed to both reproaches and oppressions, and partly, becoming partakers with those who were treated so.

34 for also with my bonds ye sympathised, and the robbery of your goods with joy ye did receive, knowing that ye have in yourselves a better substance in the heavens, and an enduring 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.

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.

35 Ye may not cast away, then, your boldness, which hath great recompense of reward,

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

35 Therefore don’t throw away your boldness, which has a great reward.

36 for of patience ye have need, that the will of God having done, ye may receive the promise,

36 Porque la paciencia os es necesaria; para que, habiendo hecho la voluntad de Dios, obtengáis la promesa.

36 For you need endurance so that, having done the will of God, you may receive the promise.

37 for yet a very very little, He who is coming will come, and will not tarry;

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

37 “In a very little while, he who comes will come and will not wait.

38 and 'the righteous by faith shall live,' and 'if he may draw back, My soul hath no pleasure in him,'

38 Ahora el justo vivirá por fe; mas si se retirare, no agradará á mi alma.

38 But the righteous one will live by faith. If he shrinks back, my soul has no pleasure in him.”

39 and we are not of those drawing back to destruction, but of those believing to a preserving of soul.

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

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?

… 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.
