Hebrews 11
1 Now faith is the foundation of hoping, the evidence of events not being seen.
viśvāsa āśaṁsitānāṁ niścayaḥ, adṛśyānāṁ viṣayāṇāṁ darśanaṁ bhavati|
2 For by this the ancients were well reported.
tena viśvāsena prāñco lokāḥ prāmāṇyaṁ prāptavantaḥ|
3 By faith we understand the ages to have been prepared by the word of God. For the things that are seen do not come to be from that which is visible. (aiōn g165)
aparam īśvarasya vākyena jagantyasṛjyanta, dṛṣṭavastūni ca pratyakṣavastubhyo nodapadyantaitad vayaṁ viśvāsena budhyāmahe| (aiōn g165)
4 By faith Abel offered to God a better sacrifice than Cain, because of which he was reported to be righteous, God testifying about his gifts, and through it, he who died still speaks.
viśvāsena hābil īśvaramuddiśya kābilaḥ śreṣṭhaṁ balidānaṁ kṛtavān tasmācceśvareṇa tasya dānānyadhi pramāṇe datte sa dhārmmika ityasya pramāṇaṁ labdhavān tena viśvāsena ca sa mṛtaḥ san adyāpi bhāṣate|
5 By faith Enoch was transferred to not see death, and he was not found, because God transferred him. For before his removal he was reported to be pleasing to God.
viśvāsena hanok yathā mṛtyuṁ na paśyet tathā lokāntaraṁ nītaḥ, tasyoddeśaśca kenāpi na prāpi yata īśvarastaṁ lokāntaraṁ nītavān, tatpramāṇamidaṁ tasya lokāntarīkaraṇāt pūrvvaṁ sa īśvarāya rocitavān iti pramāṇaṁ prāptavān|
6 And apart from faith it is impossible to please him. For he who comes to God must believe that he is, and becomes a rewarder of those who search for him.
kintu viśvāsaṁ vinā ko'pīśvarāya rocituṁ na śaknoti yata īśvaro'sti svānveṣilokebhyaḥ puraskāraṁ dadāti cetikathāyām īśvaraśaraṇāgatai rviśvasitavyaṁ|
7 By faith Noah, being divinely warned about things not yet seen, moved with awe, prepared an ark for the salvation of his house, through which he condemned the world, and became an heir of righteousness according to faith.
aparaṁ tadānīṁ yānyadṛśyānyāsan tānīśvareṇādiṣṭaḥ san noho viśvāsena bhītvā svaparijanānāṁ rakṣārthaṁ potaṁ nirmmitavān tena ca jagajjanānāṁ doṣān darśitavān viśvāsāt labhyasya puṇyasyādhikārī babhūva ca|
8 By faith Abraham, when called, obeyed to go out to the place that he was going to take for an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going.
viśvāsenebrāhīm āhūtaḥ san ājñāṁ gṛhītvā yasya sthānasyādhikārastena prāptavyastat sthānaṁ prasthitavān kintu prasthānasamaye kka yāmīti nājānāt|
9 By faith he lived alien in the land of promise as a foreigner, having dwelt in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the fellow heirs of the same promise.
viśvāsena sa pratijñāte deśe paradeśavat pravasan tasyāḥ pratijñāyāḥ samānāṁśibhyām ishākā yākūbā ca saha dūṣyavāsyabhavat|
10 For he anticipated the city that has the foundations, whose builder and architect is God.
yasmāt sa īśvareṇa nirmmitaṁ sthāpitañca bhittimūlayuktaṁ nagaraṁ pratyaikṣata|
11 By faith even Sarah herself received power for conception of seed, and she gave birth beyond the time of age, because she considered him faithful who promised.
aparañca viśvāsena sārā vayotikrāntā santyapi garbhadhāraṇāya śaktiṁ prāpya putravatyabhavat, yataḥ sā pratijñākāriṇaṁ viśvāsyam amanyata|
12 And therefore from one man, and these things having become deadened, were begotten as the stars of the heaven for multitude, and as the sand of the seashore, countless.
tato heto rmṛtakalpād ekasmāt janād ākāśīyanakṣatrāṇīva gaṇanātītāḥ samudratīrasthasikatā iva cāsaṁkhyā lokā utpedire|
13 All these died in faith, not having taken the promises, but who saw and greeted them from afar, and who confessed that they were foreigners and sojourners on the earth.
ete sarvve pratijñāyāḥ phalānyaprāpya kevalaṁ dūrāt tāni nirīkṣya vanditvā ca, pṛthivyāṁ vayaṁ videśinaḥ pravāsinaścāsmaha iti svīkṛtya viśvāsena prāṇān tatyajuḥ|
14 For those who say such things show that they are seeking a fatherland.
ye tu janā itthaṁ kathayanti taiḥ paitṛkadeśo 'smābhiranviṣyata iti prakāśyate|
15 And if indeed they remembered that from which they came out, they would have had time to return.
te yasmād deśāt nirgatāstaṁ yadyasmariṣyan tarhi parāvarttanāya samayam alapsyanta|
16 But now they aspire for a superior one, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed of them, to be called their God, for he has prepared for them a city.
kintu te sarvvotkṛṣṭam arthataḥ svargīyaṁ deśam ākāṅkṣanti tasmād īśvarastānadhi na lajjamānasteṣām īśvara iti nāma gṛhītavān yataḥ sa teṣāṁ kṛte nagaramekaṁ saṁsthāpitavān|
17 By faith Abraham, being tested, offered Isaac. And he who received the promises offered his only begotten son,
aparam ibrāhīmaḥ parīkṣāyāṁ jātāyāṁ sa viśvāseneshākam utsasarja,
18 about whom it was said, The seed by thee will be called in Isaac.
vastuta ishāki tava vaṁśo vikhyāsyata iti vāg yamadhi kathitā tam advitīyaṁ putraṁ pratijñāprāptaḥ sa utsasarja|
19 Having reckoned that God is able to raise up even from the dead, from where also, in a figure, he did receive him back.
yata īśvaro mṛtānapyutthāpayituṁ śaknotīti sa mene tasmāt sa upamārūpaṁ taṁ lebhe|
20 By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau about things coming.
aparam ishāk viśvāsena yākūb eṣāve ca bhāviviṣayānadhyāśiṣaṁ dadau|
21 By faith Jacob, while dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, and bowed in worship upon the top of his staff.
aparaṁ yākūb maraṇakāle viśvāsena yūṣaphaḥ putrayorekaikasmai janāyāśiṣaṁ dadau yaṣṭyā agrabhāge samālambya praṇanāma ca|
22 By faith Joseph, while perishing, remembered about the exodus of the sons of Israel, and commanded about his bones.
aparaṁ yūṣaph caramakāle viśvāsenesrāyelvaṁśīyānāṁ misaradeśād bahirgamanasya vācaṁ jagāda nijāsthīni cādhi samādideśa|
23 By faith Moses, after being born, was hid three months by his parents, because they saw the child well-formed, and they were not afraid of the king's edict.
navajāto mūsāśca viśvāsāt trān māsān svapitṛbhyām agopyata yatastau svaśiśuṁ paramasundaraṁ dṛṣṭavantau rājājñāñca na śaṅkitavantau|
24 By faith Moses, having become great, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter,
aparaṁ vayaḥprāpto mūsā viśvāsāt phirauṇo dauhitra iti nāma nāṅgīcakāra|
25 having chosen rather to be mistreated with the people of God, than to have the pleasure of sin temporarily.
yataḥ sa kṣaṇikāt pāpajasukhabhogād īśvarasya prajābhiḥ sārddhaṁ duḥkhabhogaṁ vavre|
26 Having esteemed the vilification of the Christ greater wealth than the treasures of Egypt, for he focused toward the recompense of reward.
tathā misaradeśīyanidhibhyaḥ khrīṣṭanimittāṁ nindāṁ mahatīṁ sampattiṁ mene yato hetoḥ sa puraskāradānam apaikṣata|
27 By faith he forsook Egypt, not having feared the wrath of the king, for he persevered as seeing the invisible.
aparaṁ sa viśvāsena rājñaḥ krodhāt na bhītvā misaradeśaṁ paritatyāja, yatastenādṛśyaṁ vīkṣamāṇeneva dhairyyam ālambi|
28 By faith he performed the Passover and the sprinkling of the blood, so that he who was destroying the firstborn would not touch them.
aparaṁ prathamajātānāṁ hantā yat svīyalokān na spṛśet tadarthaṁ sa viśvāsena nistāraparvvīyabalicchedanaṁ rudhirasecanañcānuṣṭhitāvān|
29 By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land, of which the Egyptians, having taken an attempt, were drowned.
aparaṁ te viśvāsāt sthaleneva sūphsāgareṇa jagmuḥ kintu misrīyalokāstat karttum upakramya toyeṣu mamajjuḥ|
30 By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, having been encircled for seven days.
aparañca viśvāsāt taiḥ saptāhaṁ yāvad yirīhoḥ prācīrasya pradakṣiṇe kṛte tat nipapāta|
31 By faith Rahab the harlot was not destroyed with those who were disobedient, having received the spies with peace.
viśvāsād rāhabnāmikā veśyāpi prītyā cārān anugṛhyāviśvāsibhiḥ sārddhaṁ na vinanāśa|
32 And what shall I say further? For the time would fail me telling about Gideon, also Barak and Samson and Jephthah, also of David and Samuel and the prophets,
adhikaṁ kiṁ kathayiṣyāmi? gidiyono bārakaḥ śimśono yiptaho dāyūd śimūyelo bhaviṣyadvādinaścaiteṣāṁ vṛttāntakathanāya mama samayābhāvo bhaviṣyati|
33 who, through faith, conquered kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, closed the mouths of lions,
viśvāsāt te rājyāni vaśīkṛtavanto dharmmakarmmāṇi sādhitavantaḥ pratijñānāṁ phalaṁ labdhavantaḥ siṁhānāṁ mukhāni ruddhavanto
34 quenched the force of fire, escaped the jaw of the sword. Out of weakness were made strong, became mighty in war, bowed down armies of aliens.
vahnerdāhaṁ nirvvāpitavantaḥ khaṅgadhārād rakṣāṁ prāptavanto daurbbalye sabalīkṛtā yuddhe parākramiṇo jātāḥ pareṣāṁ sainyāni davayitavantaśca|
35 Women took hold of their dead from a resurrection, but others were tortured, not having accepted deliverance, so that they might experience a superior resurrection.
yoṣitaḥ punarutthānena mṛtān ātmajān lebhire, apare ca śreṣṭhotthānasya prāpterāśayā rakṣām agṛhītvā tāḍanena mṛtavantaḥ|
36 And others took a trial of mockings and scourgings, and moreover of bonds and imprisonment.
apare tiraskāraiḥ kaśābhi rbandhanaiḥ kārayā ca parīkṣitāḥ|
37 They were stoned, they were sawed apart, they were tempted, they died in murder by sword. They wandered about in sheepskins, in goatskins, being destitute, restricted, tormented
bahavaśca prastarāghātai rhatāḥ karapatrai rvā vidīrṇā yantrai rvā kliṣṭāḥ khaṅgadhārai rvā vyāpāditāḥ| te meṣāṇāṁ chāgānāṁ vā carmmāṇi paridhāya dīnāḥ pīḍitā duḥkhārttāścābhrāmyan|
38 (of whom the world was not worthy), wandering in deserts and mountains and caves, and the holes of the earth.
saṁsāro yeṣām ayogyaste nirjanasthāneṣu parvvateṣu gahvareṣu pṛthivyāśchidreṣu ca paryyaṭan|
39 And all these, having been well reported through faith, did not receive the promise,
etaiḥ sarvvai rviśvāsāt pramāṇaṁ prāpi kintu pratijñāyāḥ phalaṁ na prāpi|
40 God having foreseen something superior concerning us, so that without us they would not be made fully perfect.
yataste yathāsmān vinā siddhā na bhaveyustathaiveśvareṇāsmākaṁ kṛte śreṣṭhataraṁ kimapi nirdidiśe|
