Hebrews 6 ~ Hebreos 6

picture

1 T herefore let us go on and get past the elementary stage in the teachings and doctrine of Christ (the Messiah), advancing steadily toward the completeness and perfection that belong to spiritual maturity. Let us not again be laying the foundation of repentance and abandonment of dead works (dead formalism) and of the faith to God,

POR tanto, dejando la palabra del comienzo en la doctrina de Cristo, vamos adelante á la perfección; no echando otra vez el fundamento; no arrepentimiento de obras muertas, y de la fe en Dios,

2 W ith teachings about purifying, the laying on of hands, the resurrection from the dead, and eternal judgment and punishment.

De la doctrina de bautismos, y de la imposición de manos, y de la resurrección de los muertos, y del juicio eterno.

3 I f indeed God permits, we will proceed.

Y esto haremos á la verdad, si Dios lo permitiere.

4 F or it is impossible those who have been once for all enlightened, who have consciously tasted the heavenly gift and have become sharers of the Holy Spirit,

Porque es imposible que los que una vez fueron iluminados y gustaron el don celestial, y fueron hechos partícipes del Espíritu Santo.

5 A nd have felt how good the Word of God is and the mighty powers of the age and world to come,

Y asimismo gustaron la buena palabra de Dios, y las virtudes del siglo venidero,

6 I f they then deviate from the faith and turn away from their allegiance— to bring them back to repentance, for (because, while, as long as) they nail upon the cross the Son of God afresh and are holding up to contempt and shame and public disgrace.

Y recayeron, sean otra vez renovados para arrepentimiento, crucificando de nuevo para sí mismos al Hijo de Dios, y exponiéndole á vituperio.

7 F or the soil which has drunk the rain that repeatedly falls upon it and produces vegetation useful to those for whose benefit it is cultivated partakes of a blessing from God.

Porque la tierra que embebe el agua que muchas veces vino sobre ella, y produce hierba provechosa á aquellos de los cuales es labrada, recibe bendición de Dios:

8 B ut if persistently bears thorns and thistles, it is considered worthless and near to being cursed, whose end is to be burned.

Mas la que produce espinas y abrojos, es reprobada, y cercana de maldición; cuyo fin será el ser abrasada.

9 E ven though we speak this way, yet in your case, beloved, we are now firmly convinced of better things that are near to salvation and accompany it.

Pero de vosotros, oh amados, esperamos mejores cosas, y más cercanas á salud, aunque hablamos así.

10 F or God is not unrighteous to forget or overlook your labor and the love which you have shown for His name’s sake in ministering to the needs of the saints (His own consecrated people), as you still do.

Porque Dios no es injusto para olvidar vuestra obra y el trabajo de amor que habéis mostrado á su nombre, habiendo asistido y asistiendo aún á los santos.

11 B ut we do '> strongly and earnestly] desire for each of you to show the same diligence and sincerity in realizing and enjoying the full assurance and development of hope until the end,

Mas deseamos que cada uno de vosotros muestre la misma solicitud hasta el cabo, para cumplimiento de la esperanza:

12 I n order that you may not grow disinterested and become sluggards, but imitators, behaving as do those who through faith ( by their leaning of the entire personality on God in Christ in absolute trust and confidence in His power, wisdom, and goodness) and by practice of patient endurance and waiting are inheriting the promises.

Que no os hagáis perezosos, mas imitadores de aquellos que por la fe y la paciencia heredan las promesas.

13 F or when God made promise to Abraham, He swore by Himself, since He had no one greater by whom to swear,

Porque prometiendo Dios á Abraham, no pudiendo jurar por otro mayor, juró por sí mismo,

14 S aying, Blessing I certainly will bless you and multiplying I will multiply you.

Diciendo: De cierto te bendeciré bendiciendo, y multiplicando te multiplicaré.

15 A nd so it was that he, having waited long and endured patiently, realized and obtained what God had promised him.

Y así, esperando con largura de ánimo, alcanzó la promesa.

16 M en indeed swear by a greater, and with them in all disputes the oath taken for confirmation is final.

Porque los hombres ciertamente por el mayor que ellos juran: y el fin de todas sus controversias es el juramento para confirmación.

17 A ccordingly God also, in His desire to show more convincingly and beyond doubt to those who were to inherit the promise the unchangeableness of His purpose and plan, intervened (mediated) with an oath.

Por lo cual, queriendo Dios mostrar más abundantemente á los herederos de la promesa la inmutabilidad de su consejo, interpuso juramento;

18 T his was so that, by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God ever to prove false or deceive us, we who have fled for refuge might have mighty indwelling strength and strong encouragement to grasp and hold fast the hope appointed for us and set before.

Para que por dos cosas inmutables, en las cuales es imposible que Dios mienta, tengamos un fortísimo consuelo, los que nos acogemos á trabarnos de la esperanza propuesta:

19 w e have this as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul '> break down under whoever steps out upon it—a hope] that reaches farther and enters into within the veil,

La cual tenemos como segura y firme ancla del alma, y que entra hasta dentro del velo;

20 W here Jesus has entered in for us, a Forerunner having become a High Priest forever after the order (with the rank) of Melchizedek.

Donde entró por nosotros como precursor Jesús, hecho Pontífice eternalmente según el orden de Melchîsedec.
