GOD'S WORD Translation GW
1 POR tanto nosotros también, teniendo en derredor nuestro una tan grande nube de testigos, dejando todo el peso del pecado que nos rodea, corramos con paciencia la carrera que nos es propuesta,
1
Since we are surrounded by so many examples [of faith], we must get rid of everything that slows us down, especially sin that distracts us. We must run the race that lies ahead of us and never give up.
2 Puestos los ojos en al autor y consumador de la fe, en Jesús; el cual, habiéndole sido propuesto gozo, sufrió la cruz, menospreciando la vergüenza, y sentóse á la diestra del trono de Dios.
2
We must focus on Jesus, the source and goal of our faith. He saw the joy ahead of him, so he endured death on the cross and ignored the disgrace it brought him. Then he received the highest position in heaven, the one next to the throne of God.
3 Reducid pues á vuestro pensameinto á aquel que sufrió tal contradicción de pecadores contra sí mismo, porque no os fatiguéis en vuestros ánimos desmayando.
3
Think about Jesus, who endured opposition from sinners, so that you don't become tired and give up.
4 Que aun no habéis resistido hasta la sangre, combatiendo contra el pecado:
4
You struggle against sin, but your struggles haven't killed you.
5 Y estáis ya olvidados de la exhortación que como con hijos habla con vosotros, diciendo: Hijo mío, no menosprecies el castigo del Señor, Ni desmayes cuando eres de él reprendido.
5
You have forgotten the encouraging words that God speaks to you as his children: "My child, pay attention when the Lord disciplines you. Don't give up when he corrects you.
6 Porque el Señor al que ama castiga, Y azota á cualquiera que recibe por hijo.
6
The Lord disciplines everyone he loves. He severely disciplines everyone he accepts as his child."
7 Si sufrís el castigo, Dios se os presenta como á hijos; porque ¿qué hijo es aquel á quien el padre no castiga?
7
Endure your discipline. God corrects you as a father corrects his children. All children are disciplined by their fathers.
8 Mas si estáis fuera del castigo, del cual todos han sido hechos participantes, luego sois bastardos, y no hijos.
8
If you aren't disciplined like the other children, you aren't part of the family.
9 Por otra parte, tuvimos por castigadores á los padres de nuestra carne, y los reverenciábamos, ¿por qué no obedeceremos mucho mejor al Padre de los espíritus, y viviremos?
9
On earth we have fathers who disciplined us, and we respect them. Shouldn't we place ourselves under the authority of God, the father of spirits, so that we will live?
10 Y aquéllos, á la verdad, por pocos días nos castigaban como á ellos les parecía, mas éste para lo que nos es provechoso, para que recibamos su santificación.
10
For a short time our fathers disciplined us as they thought best. Yet, God disciplines us for our own good so that we can become holy like him.
11 Es verdad que ningún castigo al presente parece ser causa de gozo, sino de tristeza; mas después da fruto apacible de justicia á los que en él son ejercitados.
11
We don't enjoy being disciplined. It always seems to cause more pain than joy. But later on, those who learn from that discipline have peace that comes from doing what is right.
12 Por lo cual alzad las manos caídas y las rodillas paralizadas;
12
Strengthen your tired arms and weak knees.
13 Y haced derechos pasos á vuestros pies, porque lo que es cojo no salga fuera de camino, antes sea sanado.
13
Keep walking along straight paths so that your injured leg won't get worse. Instead, let it heal.
14 Seguid la paz con todos, y la santidad, sin la cual nadie verá al Señor:
14
Try to live peacefully with everyone, and try to live holy lives, because if you don't, you will not see the Lord.
15 Mirando bien que ninguno se aparte de la gracia de Dios, que ninguna raíz de amargura brotando os impida, y por ella muchos sean contaminados;
15
Make sure that everyone has kindness from God so that bitterness doesn't take root and grow up to cause trouble that corrupts many of you.
16 Que ninguno sea fornicario, ó profano, como Esaú, que por una vianda vendió su primogenitura.
16
Make sure that no one commits sexual sin or is as concerned about earthly things as Esau was. He sold his rights as the firstborn son for a single meal.
17 Porque ya sabéis que aun después, deseando heredar la bendición, fue reprobado (que no halló lugar de arrepentimiento), aunque la procuró con lágrimas.
17
You know that afterwards, when he wanted to receive the blessing that the firstborn son was to receive, he was rejected. Even though he begged and cried for the blessing, he couldn't do anything to change what had happened.
18 Porque no os habéis llegado al monte que se podía tocar, y al fuego encendido, y al turbión, y á la oscuridad, y á la tempestad,
18
You have not come to something that you can feel, to a blazing fire, to darkness, to gloom, to a storm,
19 Y al sonido de la trompeta, y á la voz de las palabras, la cual los que la oyeron rogaron que no se les hablase más;
19
to a trumpet's blast, and to a voice. When your ancestors heard that voice, they begged not to hear it say another word.
20 Porque no podían tolerar lo que se mandaba: Si bestia tocare al monte, será apedreada, ó pasada con dardo.
20
They couldn't obey the command that was given, "If even an animal touches the mountain, it must be stoned to death."
21 Y tan terrible cosa era lo que se veía, que Moisés dijo: Estoy asombrado y temblando.
21
The sight was so terrifying that even Moses said he was trembling and afraid.
22 Mas os habéis llegado al monte de Sión, y á la ciudad del Dios vivo, Jerusalem la celestial, y á la compañía de muchos millares de ángeles,
22
Instead, you have come to Mount Zion, to the city of the living God, to the heavenly Jerusalem. You have come to tens of thousands of angels joyfully gathered together
23 Y á la congregación de los primogénitos que están alistados en los cielos, y á Dios el Juez de todos, y á los espíritus de los justos hechos perfectos,
23
and to the assembly of God's firstborn children (whose names are written in heaven). You have come to a judge (the God of all people) and to the spirits of people who have God's approval and have gained eternal life.
24 Y á Jesús el Mediador del nuevo testamento, y á la sangre del esparcimiento que habla mejor que la de Abel.
24
You have come to Jesus, who brings the new promise from God, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better message than Abel's.
25 Mirad que no desechéis al que habla. Porque si aquellos no escaparon que desecharon al que hablaba en la tierra, mucho menos nosotros, si desecháramos al que habla de los cielos.
25
Be careful that you do not refuse to listen when God speaks. Your ancestors didn't escape when they refused to listen to God, who warned them on earth. We certainly won't escape if we turn away from God, who warns us from heaven.
26 La voz del cual entonces conmovió la tierra; mas ahora ha denunciado, diciendo: Aun una vez, y yo conmoveré no solamente la tierra, mas aun el cielo.
26
When God spoke to your ancestors, his voice shook the earth. But now he has promised, "Once more I will shake not only the earth but also the sky."
27 Y esta palabra, Aun una vez, declara la mudanza de las cosas movibles, como de cosas que son firmes.
27
The words once more show clearly that God will change what he has made. These are the things that can be shaken. Then only the things that cannot be shaken will remain.
28 Así que, tomando el reino inmóvil, vamos á Dios agradándole con temor y reverencia;
28
Therefore, we must be thankful that we have a kingdom that cannot be shaken. Because we are thankful, we must serve God with fear and awe in a way that pleases him.
29 Porque nuestro Dios es fuego consumidor.
29
After all, our God is a destructive fire.
