Hebreos 4 ~ Hebrews 4

picture

1 T emamos, pues, no sea que permaneciendo aún la promesa de entrar en su reposo, alguno de vosotros parezca no haberlo alcanzado.

Therefore, while the promise of entering His rest still holds and is offered, let us be afraid '> to distrust it], lest any of you should think he has come too late and has come short of it.

2 T ambién a nosotros se nos ha anunciado la buena nueva como a ellos; a ellos de nada les sirvió haber oído la palabra, por no ir acompañada de fe en los que la oyeron.

For indeed we have had the glad tidings proclaimed to us just as truly as they; but the message they heard did not benefit them, because it was not mixed with faith (with the leaning of the entire personality on God in absolute trust and confidence in His power, wisdom, and goodness) by those who heard it; neither were they united in faith with the ones who heard (did believe).

3 P ero los que hemos creído entramos en el reposo, de la manera que dijo: «Por tanto, juré en mi ira que no entrarían en mi reposo», aunque las obras suyas estaban acabadas desde la fundación del mundo,

For we who have believed (adhered to and trusted in and relied on God) do enter that rest, in accordance with His declaration that those should not enter when He said, As I swore in My wrath, They shall not enter My rest; and this He said although works had been completed and prepared from the foundation of the world.

4 p ues en cierto lugar dijo así del séptimo día: «Y reposó Dios de todas sus obras en el séptimo día.»

For in a certain place He has said this about the seventh day: And God rested on the seventh day from all His works.

5 N uevamente dice: «No entrarán en mi reposo.»

And in this He said, They shall not enter My rest.

6 P or lo tanto, puesto que falta que algunos entren en él, y aquellos a quienes primero se les anunció la buena nueva no entraron por causa de la desobediencia,

Seeing then that the promise remains over for some to enter that rest, and that those who formerly were given the good news about it and the opportunity, failed to appropriate it and did not enter because of disobedience,

7 o tra vez determina un día: «Hoy», del cual habló David mucho tiempo después, cuando dijo: «Si oís hoy su voz, no endurezcáis vuestros corazones.»

Again He sets a definite day, Today, saying through David after so long a time in the words already quoted, Today, if you would hear His voice and when you hear it, do not harden your hearts.

8 S i Josué les hubiera dado el reposo, no hablaría después de otro día.

For if Joshua had given them rest, He would not speak afterward about another day.

9 P or tanto, queda un reposo para el pueblo de Dios,

So then, there is still awaiting a full and complete Sabbath-rest reserved for the people of God;

10 p orque el que ha entrado en su reposo, también ha reposado de sus obras, como Dios de las suyas.

For he who has once entered rest also has ceased from of human labors, just as God rested from those labors peculiarly His own.

11 P rocuremos, pues, entrar en aquel reposo, para que ninguno caiga en semejante ejemplo de desobediencia.

Let us therefore be zealous and exert ourselves and strive diligently to enter that rest, that no one may fall or perish by the same kind of unbelief and disobedience.

12 L a palabra de Dios es viva, eficaz y más cortante que toda espada de dos filos: penetra hasta partir el alma y el espíritu, las coyunturas y los tuétanos, y discierne los pensamientos y las intenciones del corazón.

For the Word that God speaks is alive and full of power; it is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating to the dividing line of the breath of life (soul) and spirit, and of joints and marrow, exposing and sifting and analyzing and judging the very thoughts and purposes of the heart.

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

And not a creature exists that is concealed from His sight, but all things are open and exposed, naked and defenseless to the eyes of Him with Whom we have to do.

14 P or tanto, teniendo un gran Sumo sacerdote que traspasó los cielos, Jesús el Hijo de Dios, retengamos nuestra profesión.

Inasmuch then as we have a great High Priest Who has ascended and passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.

15 N o tenemos un sumo sacerdote que no pueda compadecerse de nuestras debilidades, sino uno que fue tentado en todo según nuestra semejanza, pero sin pecado.

For we do not have a High Priest Who is unable to understand and sympathize and have a shared feeling with our weaknesses and infirmities and liability to the assaults of temptation, but One Who has been tempted in every respect as we are, yet without sinning.

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

Let us then fearlessly and confidently and boldly draw near to the throne of grace (the throne of God’s unmerited favor to us sinners), that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in good time for every need.
