Hebræerne 11
1 Men Tro er en Fortrøstning til det, som haabes, en Overbevisning om Ting, som ikke ses.
Fayth is a sure confidence of thynges which are hoped for and a certayntie of thynges which are not sene.
2 Ved den fik jo de gamle godt Vidnesbyrd.
By it ye elders were well reported of.
3 Ved Tro fatte vi, at Verden er bleven skabt ved Guds Ord, saa det ikke er af synlige Ting, at det, som ses, er blevet til. (aiōn g165)
Thorow fayth we vnderstonde that the worlde was ordeyned by the worde of god: and that thynges which are sene were made of thynges which are not sene. (aiōn g165)
4 Ved Tro ofrede Abel Gud et bedre Offer end Kain, og ved den fik han det Vidnesbyrd, at han var retfærdig, idet Gud bevidnede sit Velbehag i hans Gaver; og ved den taler han endnu efter sin Død.
By fayth Abell offered vnto god a more plenteous sacrifice then Cayn: by which he obteyned witnes that he was righteous god testifyinge of his gyftes: by which also he beynge deed yet speaketh.
5 Ved Tro blev Enok borttagen, for at han ikke skulde se Døden, og han blev ikke funden, efterdi Gud havde taget ham bort; thi før Borttagelsen har han faaet det Vidnesbyrd, at han har behaget Gud.
By fayth was Enoch traslated yt he shuld not se deeth: nether was he founde: for God had taken him awaye. Before he was taken awaye he was reported of that he had pleased God:
6 Men uden Tro er det umuligt at behage ham; thi den, som kommer frem for Gad, bør tro, at han er til, og at han bliver deres Belønner, som søge ham.
but with out fayth it is vnpossible to please him. For he that commeth to God must beleve that God is and that he is a rewarder of them that seke him.
7 Ved Tro var det, at Noa, advaret af Gud om det, som endnu ikke saas, i Gudsfrygt indrettede en Ark til Frelse for sit Hus; ved den domfældte han Verden og blev Arving til Retfærdigheden ifølge Tro.
By fayth Noe honored God after that he was warned of thinges which were not sene and prepared the arcke to the savinge of his houssholde thorowe the which arcke he condempned the worlde and became heyre of the rightewesnes which commeth by fayth.
8 Ved Tro adlød Abraham, da han blev kaldet, saa han gik ud til et Sted, som han skulde tage til Arv; og han gik ud, skønt han ikke vidste, hvor han kom hen.
By fayth Abraha whe he was called obeyed to goo out into a place which he shuld afterwarde receave to inheritaunce and he wet out not knowynge whether he shuld goo.
9 Ved Tro blev han Udlænding i Forjættelsens Land som i et fremmed og boede i Telte med Isak og Jakob, som vare Medarvinger til samme Forjættelse;
By fayth he removed into the londe yt was promysed him as into a straunge countre and dwelt in tabernacles: and so dyd Isaac and Iacob heyres with him of the same promes.
10 thi han forventede den Stad, som har fast Grundvold, hvis Bygmester og Grundlægger er Gud.
For he loked for a citie havinge a foundacio whose bylder and maker is God.
11 Ved Tro fik endog Sara selv Kraft til at undfange endog ud over sin Alders Tid; thi hun holdt ham for trofast, som havde forjættet det.
Thorow fayth Sara also receaved stregth to be with chylde and was delivered of a chylde when she was past age because she iudged him faythfull which had promysed.
12 Derfor avledes der ogsaa af en, og det en udlevet, som Himmelens Stjerner i Mangfoldighed og som Sandet ved Havets Bred, det, som ikke kan tælles.
And therfore spronge therof one (and of one which was as good as deed) so many in multitude as the starres of ye skye and as the sond of the see shore which is innumerable.
13 I Tro døde alle disse uden at have opnaaet Forjættelserne; men de saa dem langt borte og hilsede dem og bekendte, at de vare fremmede og Udlændinge paa Jorden.
And they all dyed in fayth and receaved not the promyses: but sawe them a farre of and beleved them and saluted them: and confessed that they were straungers and pilgrems on the erthe.
14 De, som sige saadant, give jo klarlig til Kende, at de søge et Fædreland.
They that saye soche thinges declare that they seke a coutre.
15 Og dersom de havde haft det, hvorfra de vare udgaaede, i Tanker, havde de vel haft Tid til at vende tilbage;
Also yf they had bene myndfull of that countre from whence they came oute they had leasure to have returned agayne.
16 men nu hige de efter et bedre, det er et himmelsk; derfor skammer Gud sig ikke ved dem, ved at kaldes deres Gud; thi han har beredt dem en Stad.
But now they desyre a better that is to saye a hevenlye. Wherfore God is not ashamed of them even to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a citie.
17 Ved Tro har Abraham ofret Isak, da han blev prøvet, ja, den enbaarne ofrede han, som havde modtaget Forjættelserne,
In fayth Abraham offered vp Isaac whe he was tempted and he offered him beinge his only begotten sonne which had receaved the promyses
18 til hvem der var sagt: „I Isak skal en Sæd faa Navn efter dig; ‟
of who it was sayde in Isaac shall thy seed be called:
19 thi han betænkte, at Gud var mægtig endog til at oprejse fra de døde, hvorfra han jo ogsaa lignelsesvis fik ham tilbage.
for he cosidered that God was able to rayse vp agayne fro deeth. Wherfore receaved he him for an ensample.
20 Ved Tro udtalte Isak Velsignelse over Jakob og Esau angaaende kommende Ting.
In fayth Isaac blessed Iacob and Esau concerninge thinges to come.
21 Ved Tro velsignede Jakob døende hver af Josefs Sønner og tilbad, lænende sig over sin Stav.

22 Ved Tro talte Josef paa sit yderste om Israels Børns Udgang og gav Befaling om sine Ben.

23 Ved Tro blev Moses, da han var født, skjult i tre Maaneder af sine Forældre, fordi de saa, at Barnet var dejligt, og de frygtede ikke for Kongens Befaling.
By fayth Moses when he was borne was hid thre monethes of his father and mother be cause they sawe he was a proper chylde: nether feared they the kynges commaundemet.
24 Ved Tro nægtede Moses, da han var bleven stor, at kaldes Søn af Faraos Datter
By fayth Moses when he was great refused to be called ye sonne of Pharaos doughter
25 og valgte hellere at lide ondt med Guds Folk end at have en kortvarig Nydelse af Synd,
and chose rather to suffre adversitie wt the people of God then to enioye the pleasurs of synne for a ceason
26 idet han agtede Kristi Forsmædelse for større Rigdom end Ægyptens Skatte; thi han saa hen til Belønningen.
and estemed the rebuke of Christ greater ryches then the treasure of Egypt. For he had a respect vnto ye rewarde.
27 Ved Tro forlod han Ægypten uden at frygte for Kongens Vrede; thi som om han saa den usynlige, holdt han ud.
By fayth he forsoke Egypt and feared not the fearcenes of the kynge. For he endured even as he had sene him which is invisible.
28 Ved Tro har han indstiftet Paasken og Paastrygelsen af Blodet, for at den, som ødelagde de førstefødte, ikke skulde røre dem.
Thorow fayth he ordeyned the ester lambe and the effusion of bloud lest he that destroyed the fyrst borne shuld touche them.
29 Ved Tro gik de igennem det røde Hav som over tørt Land, medens Ægypterne druknede under Forsøget derpaa.

32 Dog, hvorfor skal jeg tale mere? Tiden vil jo fattes mig, hvis jeg skal fortælle om Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jefta, David og Samuel og Profeterne,
And what shall I more saye ye tyme wold be to short for me to tell of Gedeo of Barach and of Samson and of Iephthae: also of David and Samuel and of the Prophetes:
33 som ved Tro overvandt Riger, øvede Retfærdighed, opnaaede Forjættelser, stoppede Løvers Mund,
which thorowe fayth subdued kyngdomes wrought righteousnes obteyned the promyses stopped the mouthes of lyons
34 slukkede Ilds Kraft, undslap Sværds Od, bleve stærke efter Svaghed, bleve vældige i Krig, bragte fremmedes Hære til at vige.
queched the violence of fyre escaped the edge of the swearde of weake were made stroge waxed valient in fight turned to flyght the armyes of the alientes.
35 Kvinder fik deres døde igen ved Opstandelse. Andre bleve lagte paa Pinebænk og toge ikke imod Befrielse, for at de maatte opnaa en bedre Opstandelse.
And the wemen receaved their deed raysed to lyfe agayne. Other were racked and wolde not be delyvered that they myght receave a better resurreccion.
36 Andre maatte friste Forhaanelser og Hudstrygelser, tilmed Lænker og Fængsel;
Other tasted of mockynges and scourginginges morover of bondes and presonmet:
37 de bleve stenede, gennemsavede, fristede, dræbte med Sværd, gik omkring i Faare- og Gedeskind, lidende Mangel, betrængte, mishandlede
were stoned were hewen a sunder were tepted were slayne with sweardes walked vppe and doune in shepes skynnes in gotes skynnes in nede tribulacio and vexacio
38 (dem var Verden ikke værd), omvankende i Ørkener og paa Bjerge og i Huler og Jordens Kløfter.
which ye worlde was not worthy of: they wadred in wildernes in moutaynes in dennes and caves of the erth.
39 Og alle disse, skønt de havde Vidnesbyrd for deres Tro, opnaaede ikke Forjættelsen,
And these all thorow fayth obtayned good reporte and receaved not the promes
40 efterdi Gud forud havde udset noget bedre for os, for at de ikke skulde fuldkommes uden os.
God provydinge a better thinge for vs that they with out vs shuld not be made parfecte.
