Hebrews 3
1 My fellow believers, [God] has set you apart and has chosen you, just like he chose me. So consider Jesus. [He is God’s] messenger to us. He is also the Supreme Priest whom we say we believe in.
Así que, mis hermanos y hermanas que viven para Dios y participan de este celestial llamado: necesitamos pensar con cuidado acerca de Jesús, el que decimos que fue enviado por Dios, y quien es el Sumo Sacerdote.
2 He faithfully [served God], who appointed him, just like Moses faithfully [served] God’s people [MTY].
Él fue fiel a Dios en la obra para la cual fue elegido, así como Moisés fue fiel a Dios en la casa de Dios.
3 Just like every house is made by someone {as someone makes every house}, Jesus made everything, and he is God/Divine. So God has considered that Jesus is worthy [that people honor] him more than they honor Moses, just like the one who builds a house deserves that people honor him more than they should honor the house [he built].
Pero Jesús es merecedor de mayor gloria que Moisés, del mismo modo que el constructor de una casa merece más crédito que la misma casa.
Cada casa tiene su constructor; Dios es el constructor de todo.
5 Moses very faithfully [served God as he] ([helped/cared for]) [MET] God’s people, just like a servant [faithfully serves his master]. The result was that Moses testified about what Jesus would say later.
Y como siervo, Moisés fue fiel en la casa de Dios. Él nos dio evidencia de lo que sería anunciado después.
6 But Christ [faithfully serves God as he] ([helps/cares for]) his own people [MTY, MET], just like a [son helps/cares for his own family]. And we are God’s people [MTY] if we continue to confidently [believe in Christ] and if we continue to confidently wait for [what God will do for us].
Pero Cristo es un hijo, a cargo de la casa de Dios. Y nosotros somos la casa de Dios siempre y cuando nos aferremos con confianza a la esperanza en la cual decimos que creemos con orgullo.
7 The Holy Spirit [caused the Psalmist to write these words in the Scriptures to the Israelites]: Now, when you [(pl)] hear God speaking to you [MTY],
Por eso el Espíritu Santo dice: “Si oyen lo que Dios les está diciendo hoy,
8 do not stubbornly ([disobey/refuse to] obey [him]) [IDM], [as your Jewish ancestors stubbornly disobeyed him] when they rebelled against [him] in the desert. [At that time, God said to your ancestors], “They tried to determine how many [things that displeased me they could do] in the desert [without me punishing them].
no endurezcan sus corazones como en aquél tiempo en que se rebelaron contra él, cuando lo pusieron a prueba en el desierto.
9 Your ancestors repeatedly tested [whether I would be patient with them, even though] for 40 years they saw all the amazing things I did.
Los padres de ustedes me pusieron a prueba, y probaron mi paciencia, y vieron la evidencia que les mostré durante cuarenta años.
10 So, I became disgusted with those people who saw those things, and I said [about them], ‘They are constantly disloyal to me, and they do not understand how I [wanted them] to conduct their lives.’
“Tal generación despertó mi enojo y por ello dije: ‘Siempre se equivocan en su manera de pensar. No me conocen ni saben lo que estoy haciendo’.
11 As a result, because I was angry with them, I solemnly declared, ‘They will not enter [the land of Canaan] where I would let them rest [MTY]!’”
Por ello, en mi frustración hice un juramento: ‘No entrarán a mi reposo’”.
12 So, my fellow believers, be careful that none of you is so evil that you stop trusting [in Christ]. That would cause you to reject God who is all-powerful.
Hermanos y hermanas, asegúrense de que ninguno de ustedes tenga un pensamiento malvado y alejado de la fe en el Dios de la vida.
13 Instead, each of you must encourage each other every day, while [you still have] the opportunity [IDM], in order that none of you may stubbornly [reject God] by [letting others] deceive you (OR, as you deceive yourselves), [with the result that] you [(sg)] sin [PRS].
Anímense unos a otros cada día mientras dure el “hoy”, para que ninguno de ustedes pueda ser engañado por el pecado ni se endurezcan sus corazones.
14 [We must encourage one another], because we [(inc)] benefit from [all] Christ [has done] only if we firmly keep trusting [in him] from the time when we first confidently [trusted in him] until [the time when] we die [EUP].
Porque somos socios con Cristo siempre y cuando mantengamos nuestra confianza en Dios de principio a fin.
15 [We can do this] by paying attention to [what the Psalmist wrote in that Scripture passage in which] God said, Now, when you hear me speaking [to you(pl)] [MTY], do not stubbornly disobey me as [your ancestors stubbornly disobeyed me] when they rebelled [against me].
Como dice la Escritura: “Si oyen lo que Dios les dice hoy, no endurezcan sus corazones como aquél tiempo en que se rebelaron contra él”.
16 ([You must keep trusting in God] because you must remember who it was who rebelled against God although they heard him speaking to them./Do you remember who it was who rebelled against God although they heard [him speaking to them]?) [RHQ] It was people who had certainly experienced [LIT] God’s power. It was all those people whom Moses led miraculously out of Egypt. [RHQ]
¿Quién se rebeló contra Dios aun habiendo oído lo que él dijo? ¿No fueron acaso los que fueron sacados de Egipto por Moisés?
17 And ([you must remember] who it was that God was disgusted with for 40 years./do you [remember] who it was that God was disgusted with for 40years?) [RHQ] It was those same people who had sinned like that, and who as a result died in the desert! [RHQ]
¿Contra quienes estuvo enojado Dios durante cuarenta años? ¿No fue contra aquellos que fueron sepultados en el desierto?
18 And ([you must remember] about whom God solemnly declared, “They will not enter the land where I would let them rest.”/do you [remember] about whom [God] solemnly declared, “They will not enter the land where I [would let them] rest”?) [RHQ] It was those Israelites who disobeyed God.
¿De quién hablaba Dios cuando hizo juramento de que no entrarían en su reposo? ¿No fue de los que lo desobedecieron?
19 So, from that example we [(inc)] realize that it was because they did not keep trusting [in God] that they were unable to enter [the land where they would rest].
Así vemos que ellos no pudieron entrar, porque no confiaron en él.
