Hebrews 6
1 So, we [(inc)] must not keep [discussing] the elementary principles about Christ. Instead, we must proceed [to the teaching that will make us spiritually] mature [MTY]. We must not [be people who always need someone to teach them] the elementary truths [about Christ that are like] [MET] a foundation. [I am referring to the teaching that people who do sinful] things must turn away from their sinful behavior, things that [those who are spiritually] [MET] dead do. [I am referring to the teaching] that people must believe in God.
Por lo cual, dejando la doctrina elemental acerca de Cristo, elevémonos a la perfección, no tratando de nuevo los artículos fundamentales que se refieren a la conversión de las obras muertas y a la fe en Dios,
2 [I am referring to the teaching about what] various [Jewish and Christian] rituals for purifying people [signify. I am referring to the teaching about how elders enable people to receive spiritual gifts by] laying hands [on them] [MTY]. [I am referring to the teaching that God will] ([cause] those who have died to live again/raise people from the dead). And [I am referring to the teaching that God] will judge [some people and punish them] eternally. (aiōnios g166)
a la doctrina de los bautismos, a la imposición de las manos, a la resurrección de los muertos y al juicio eterno. (aiōnios g166)
3 [Instead of continuing to discuss these elementary truths], we [(inc)] (OR, I) will [go on to give people mature teaching], if God allows it.
Y así procederemos con el favor de Dios.
4 [I will explain why it is important to do that. Some] people have at one time fully understood [the message about Christ] [MET]. They have experienced [a relationship with Jesus Christ] that God [EUP/MTY] gave [to them]. They have received the Holy Spirit the same as [others have].
Porque a los que, una vez iluminados, gustaron el don celestial, y fueron hechos partícipes del Espíritu Santo,
5 They have experienced that God’s message is good. And by what they have experienced [now], they know how [God will work] powerfully in the future. If those people reject [the message about Christ], it will not be possible for anyone to persuade them to turn away from their sinful behavior again! (aiōn g165)
y experimentaron la bondad de la palabra de Dios y las poderosas maravillas del siglo por venir, (aiōn g165)
6 What those [believers who later renounce the message about Christ do is as though] [MET] they themselves are nailing the Son of God to a cross again! They are causing others to publicly despise Christ.
y han recaído, imposible es renovarlos otra vez para que se arrepientan, por cuanto crucifican de nuevo para sí mismos al Hijo de Dios, y le exponen a la ignominia pública.
7 Think about this: It is land on which rain has frequently fallen [PRS] and on which plants grow [PRS] that is useful for the people who prepare the land that God has blessed. [Similarly, it is those believers who have received many good things from God and who do good deeds/things that please God, whom God will bless] [MET].
Porque la tierra que bebe la lluvia, que cae muchas veces sobre ella, produce plantas útiles para aquellos por quienes es labrada, y participa de la bendición de Dios;
8 But [what will happen to believers who do deeds/things that do not please God will be like what happens to land] on which [only] thorns and thistles grow [MET]. [Such land] is worthless. It has almost become land that God will curse, and eventually he will burn [its vegetation] [MTY].
pero la que produce espinas y abrojos es reprobada y está próxima a la maldición y su fin es el fuego.
9 Although I am writing [to you] like this as a [warning], I am certain concerning you whom I love that [you are doing] better than that. Specifically, I am sure that [you are doing] the things that are appropriate [for those whom God] has saved.
Mas de vosotros, carísimos, esperamos cosas mejores y conducentes a la salvación, aunque hablamos de esta manera.
10 Since God always acts justly [LIT], he will not overlook all you have done [for him. He will also not overlook] [MTY] [your showing that you love] him by the way you helped your fellow believers and [by the way you still] help them. [Instead, God will reward you for doing good deeds].
Porque no es Dios injusto para olvidarse de vuestra obra y del amor que habéis mostrado a su nombre, habiendo servido a los santos y sirviéndolos aún.
11 I very much want each of you to diligently continue to fully expect to receive [what God has provided for you], until you finally [receive everything that you have confidently expected to receive].
Pero deseamos que cada uno de vosotros manifieste hasta el fin el mismo interés en orden a la plenitud de la esperanza,
12 I do not want you to be lazy. [Instead, I want] you to imitate those who, because they patiently continued to trust in [God], are receiving what he promised them.
de manera que no seáis indolentes, sino imitadores de aquellos que por la fe y la paciencia son herederos de las promesas.
13 When God promised to [do things for] Abraham, he said that he would punish himself [if he did not do that], because there was no one of greater importance to ask to punish him [if he did not do it].
Porque cuando Dios hizo promesa a Abrahán, como no pudiese jurar por otro mayor, juró por sí mismo,
14 He said [to Abraham], “I will certainly bless you [(sg)], and I will certainly increase [the number of] your [descendants] [SYN].”
diciendo: “Por mi fe, te bendeciré con abundancia, y te multiplicaré grandemente”.
15 As a result, after Abraham patiently waited [for God to do what he promised], he received what [God] promised him.
Y así, esperando con paciencia, recibió la promesa.
16 [Keep in mind that when people promise something], they ask a more important person to punish them if they do not do what they promise. Furthermore, when people ask God to punish them [if they do not tell the truth], that causes people who are disputing to stop disputing.
Pues los hombres juran por el que es mayor y el juramento es para ellos el término de toda controversia, por cuanto les da seguridad.
17 So, when God wanted to demonstrate very clearly (to us/to those people) who would receive what he had promised that he would not change what he had purposed [to do], he solemnly guaranteed that he would declare himself guilty if he did not do what he promised.
Por lo cual, queriendo Dios mostrar, con mayor certidumbre, a los que serían herederos de la promesa, la inmutabilidad de su designio, interpuso su juramento;
18 He did that to strongly encourage us as a result of our [knowing] that [God has done] two things that cannot change. [Namely, he promised to bless us, and he solemnly declared that he would declare himself guilty if he did not bless us]. We [know] that God, who did those things, cannot lie. We have fled [to him] in order that we might continue confidently to expect to receive what he promised us.
para que mediante dos cosas inmutables, en las que es imposible que Dios mienta, tengamos un poderoso consuelo los que nos hemos refugiado en aferrarnos a la esperanza que se nos ha propuesto,
19 [Our confidently expecting] [SYN] [to receive what he has promised is like] an anchor [MET] that very firmly [DOU] [holds us fast. The one we confidently expect to help us] [SYN] [is Jesus, who] goes into [God’s very presence, just like the Supreme Priests went] behind the curtain into the innermost [part of the tent in the barren area] [MET].
la cual tenemos como áncora del alma, segura y firme, y que penetra hasta lo que está detrás del velo;
20 Jesus went [into God’s presence] ahead of us [(inc)] to [help] us when he became a Supreme Priest eternally in the way that Melchizedek was a Supreme Priest. (aiōn g165)
adonde, como precursor, Jesús entró por nosotros, constituido Sumo Sacerdote para siempre según el orden de Melquisedec. (aiōn g165)
