1 T he same promise of going into God’s rest is still for us. But we should be afraid that some of us may not be able to go in.

TEMAMOS, pues, que quedando aún la promesa de entrar en su reposo, parezca alguno de vosotros haberse apartado.

2 W e have heard the Good News even as they did, but it did them no good because it was not mixed with faith.

Porque también á nosotros se nos ha evangelizado como á ellos; mas no les aprovechó el oir la palabra á los que la oyeron sin mezclar fe.

3 W e who have put our trust in God go into His rest. God said this of our early fathers, “I was angry and said, ‘They will not go into My rest.’” And yet God’s work was finished after He made the world. God’s Rest

Empero entramos en el reposo los que hemos creído, de la manera que dijo: Como juré en mi ira, No entrarán en mi reposo: aun acabadas las obras desde el principio del mundo.

4 I n the Holy Writings He said this about the seventh day when He made the whole world, “God rested on the seventh day from all He had made.”

Porque en un cierto lugar dijo así del séptimo día: Y reposó Dios de todas sus obras en el séptimo día.

5 B ut God said this about those who turned against Him, “They will not go into My rest.”

Y otra vez aquí: No entrarán en mi reposo.

6 T hose who heard the Good News first did not go into His rest. It was because they had not obeyed Him. But the promise is still good and some are going into His rest.

Así que, pues que resta que algunos han de entrar en él, y aquellos á quienes primero fué anunciado no entraron por causa de desobediencia,

7 G od has again set a certain day for people to go into His rest. He says through David many years later as He had said before, “If you hear His voice today, do not let your hearts become hard.”

Determina otra vez un cierto día, diciendo por David: Hoy, después de tanto tiempo; como está dicho: Si oyereis su voz hoy, No endurezcáis vuestros corazones.

8 I f Joshua had led those people into God’s rest, He would not have told of another day after that.

Porque si Josué les hubiera dado el reposo, no hablaría después de otro día.

9 A nd so God’s people have a complete rest waiting for them.

Por tanto, queda un reposo para el pueblo de Dios.

10 T he man who goes into God’s rest, rests from his own work the same as God rested from His work.

Porque el que ha entrado en su reposo, también él ha reposado de sus obras, como Dios de las suyas.

11 L et us do our best to go into that rest or we will be like the people who did not go in.

Procuremos pues de entrar en aquel reposo; que ninguno caiga en semejante ejemplo de desobediencia.

12 G od’s Word is living and powerful. It is sharper than a sword that cuts both ways. It cuts straight into where the soul and spirit meet and it divides them. It cuts into the joints and bones. It tells what the heart is thinking about and what it wants to do.

Porque la palabra de Dios es viva y eficaz, y más penetrante que toda espada de dos filos: y que alcanza hasta partir el alma, y aun el espíritu, y las coyunturas y tuétanos, y discierne los pensamientos y las intenciones del corazón.

13 N o one can hide from God. His eyes see everything we do. We must give an answer to God for what we have done. Jesus—Our Great Religious Leader

Y no hay cosa criada que no sea manifiesta en su presencia; antes todas las cosas están desnudas y abiertas á los ojos de aquel á quien tenemos que dar cuenta.

14 W e have a great Religious Leader Who has made the way for man to go to God. He is Jesus, the Son of God, Who has gone to heaven to be with God. Let us keep our trust in Jesus Christ.

Por tanto, teniendo un gran Pontífice, que penetró los cielos, Jesús el Hijo de Dios, retengamos nuestra profesión.

15 O ur Religious Leader understands how weak we are. Christ was tempted in every way we are tempted, but He did not sin.

Porque no tenemos un Pontífice que no se pueda compadecer de nuestras flaquezas; mas tentado en todo según nuestra semejanza, pero sin pecado.

16 L et us go with complete trust to the throne of God. We will receive His loving-kindness and have His loving-favor to help us whenever we need it.

Lleguémonos pues confiadamente al trono de la gracia, para alcanzar misericordia, y hallar gracia para el oportuno socorro.
