Hebrews 11
1 Now faith is assurance of things hoped for, proof of things not seen.
Fatokisañe ty mamente o raha tamaeñeo, ty fampibentarañe o raha tsy oniñeo.
2 For by this, the elders obtained approval.
Ie ty nahazoa’ o taoloo to.
3 By faith, we understand that the ages (aiōn g165) have been aligned by the word of God, so that what is seen has not been made out of things which are visible.
Fatokisañe ty ahaoniñan-tika amy Tsinaran’ Añaharey, te tsy nalaha’e amo raha oniñeo o raha miboake amo sào. (aiōn g165)
4 By faith Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he had testimony given to him that he was righteous, God testifying with respect to his gifts; and through it he, being dead, still speaks.
Fatokisañe ty nañengà’ i Abela aman’ Añahare soroñe soa te amy Kaina, vaho nitaroñeñe te vantañe, ie nitsaraen’ Añahare i banabana’ey, toe misaontsy re ndra te nihomake.
5 By faith Enoch was taken away, so that he would not see death, and he was not found, because God translated him. For he has had testimony given to him that before his translation he had been well pleasing to God.
Fatokisañe ty nampionjoneñe i Enoke tsy handia havilasy, ie tsy nitendreke fa rinamben’ Añahare; ie nitaroñeñe taolo’ ty nampionjonañe aze te nisohen’ Añahare.
6 Without faith it is impossible to be well pleasing to him, for he who comes to God must believe that he exists, and that he is a rewarder of those who seek him.
Tsy mahafale Aze t’ie tsy amam-patokisañe. Amy te ze hañarine aman’ Añahare, tsy mete tsy matoky t’ie eo, naho manambe ty mitsoek’ aze.
7 By faith Noah, being warned about things not yet seen, moved with godly fear, prepared a ship for the saving of his house, through which he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith.
Fatokisañe am-pañeveñañe ty nandranjia’ i Noe lakan-katae ty amy hatahatan’ Añaharey o raha mbe tsy rendrekeo, handrombaha’e i hasavereña’ey, ie ty namarañe ty tane bey toy, naho nampandovañe i havantañam-patokisañey.
8 By faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed to go out to the place which he was to receive for an inheritance. He went out, not knowing where he went.
Fatokisañe ty niantofa’ i Abraàme, ie kinanjy hienga mb’an-tane ho rambese’e afara ho lova, vaho nionjoñe mb’eo tsy nahafohiñe ty hombà’e.
9 By faith he lived as an alien in the land of promise, as in a land not his own, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise.
Fatokisañe ty nañialoa’e an-tane nampitamaeñey, hoe ambahiny, ie nimoneñe an-kivoho mindre am’ Ietsake naho Iakobe, mpitrao-lova ama’e amy fampitamàñey.
10 For he was looking for the city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God.
Toe i rova reke-manantañey ty nitamà’e, i rinanjin’ Añahare naho tsinene’ey.
11 By faith even Sarah herself received power to conceive, and she bore a child when she was past age, since she counted him faithful who had promised.
Fatokisañe ka, ty nampaozatse i Saràe hiareñe, naho nahasamak’ anake ndra te losotse o taoñe nahampela azeo, ie niantoke te migahiñe i Nampitàmay.
12 Therefore as many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as innumerable as the sand which is by the sea shore, were fathered by one man, and him as good as dead.
Aa le sinama’ i fa hihomakey, ty mira ami’ty hatozantoza’ o vasian-dikerañeo naho o faseñe añ’ olon-driake tsy lefe iaheñeo.
13 These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them and embraced them from afar, and having confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.
Songa nivilasy am-patokisañe, tsy tam’ iereo o nampitamañeo; fe nioni’ iereo tsietoimoneñe añe, le nisalalaeñe, vaho niantofa’ iereo t'ie renetane, mpañialo an-tane atoy.
14 For those who say such things make it clear that they are seeking a country of their own.
Ampalangese’ o mitaroñe izaio te mitamà tanen-droae.
15 If indeed they had been thinking of that country from which they went out, they would have had enough time to return.
Aa naho nimaniña’ iareo i tane niboahañey, le nalalake t'ie ho nimpoly.
16 But now they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed of them, to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them.
F’ie nitamà ty soa—toe i andindìñe añey. Ie amy zay, tsy mahasalatse an’ Andrianañahare ty atao Andrianañahare’ iareo vaho nihalankàña’e rova.
17 By faith, Abraham, being tested, offered up Isaac. Yes, he who had gladly received the promises was offering up his only born son,
Fatokisañe ty nañengà’ i Abraàme t’Ietsake, ie nitsoheñe; nengae’ i nandrambe i fitamañeiy i bako toka’ey,
18 to whom it was said, “Your offspring will be accounted as from Isaac,”
ie nanoañe ty hoe: Am’ Isaka ty hikanjiañe o tarira’oo.
19 concluding that God is able to raise up even from the dead. Figuratively speaking, he also did receive him back from the dead.
Natokisa’e te lefen’ Añahare ty hampitroatse ty nihomake, le ao ty nandrambesa’e aze am-pandrazañañe.
20 By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau, even concerning things to come.
Fatokisañe ty nitatà’ Isaka t’Iakobe naho i Esave amo raha ho avio.
21 By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, and worshiped, leaning on the top of his staff.
Fatokisañe ty nitatà’ Iakobe fa hihomakey i ana’ Iosefe rey vaho nitalaho t’ie niato andoham-pitoño’e.
22 By faith Joseph, when his end was near, made mention of the departure of the children of Israel, and gave instructions concerning his bones.
Fatokisañe ty nitokia’ Iosefe, ie fa hèta’ey, ty hiavota’ o nte-Israeleo vaho toe nafè’e o taola’eo.
23 By faith Moses, when he was born, was hidden for three months by his parents, because they saw that he was a beautiful child; and they were not afraid of the king’s commandment.
Fatokisañe ty nañetahan-droae’ i Mosè aze te nitoly, naho nioni’ iareo t’ie ajaja soa, vaho tsy nahahembañe iareo ty nafè’ i mpanjakay.
24 By faith Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter,
Fatokisañe ty nifoneña’ i Mosè tsy hatao ana’ ty anak’ ampela’ i Farao, ie fa niañoñ’ay,
25 choosing rather to share ill treatment with God’s people than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a time,
te mone jinobo’e ty hifeake fampisoañañe mindre am’ondatin’ Añahareo, ta t’ie hanañ’andro hieranerañe an-kakeo;
26 considering the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt; for he looked to the reward.
natao’e te vara mandikoatse ty harea’ i Egipte ty ìnje’ i Norizañey, amy te nitalakese’e i tambe’ey.
27 By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.
Fatokisañe ty niengà’e i Egipte, tsy nihembaña’e ty haviñera’ i mpanjakay; fe nifeake hoe te niisa’e i tsy isakey.
28 By faith he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of the blood, that the destroyer of the firstborn should not touch them.
Fatokisañe ty nahahenefa’e i Fihelañey, naho i fitse-lioy, tsy hipaoha’ i mpanjaman-tañoloñolòñañey iareo.
29 By faith they passed through the Red Sea as on dry land. When the Egyptians tried to do so, they were swallowed up.
Fatokisañe ty nitoaña’ iareo i Riake Menay hoe an-tane maike, fe nagedra’e o nte Egipte nahavany nisoroke ama'eo.
30 By faith the walls of Jericho fell down after they had been encircled for seven days.
Fatokisañe ty nampiforetrake o kijoli’ i Jerikòo, ie niariaria’ iareo fito andro.
31 By faith Rahab the prostitute did not perish with those who were disobedient, having received the spies in peace.
Fatokisañe ty tsy nitraofa’ i Rahaba karapilo fivetrak’ amo nanjehatseo ie nandrambe i mpifilo rey am-panintsiñañe.
32 What more shall I say? For the time would fail me if I told of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, Samuel, and the prophets—
Aa inon-ka ty hataliliko? Fa hilesa ty andro naho taroñeko i Gideona naho i Baraka naho i Samsone naho i Jefta, i Davide ka, naho i Samoela vaho o mpitokio,
33 who through faith subdued kingdoms, worked out righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,
ie am-patokisañe ro nampiambane fifeheañe, nitolon-kavantañañe, nahazo fampitamàñe, nampitsiteke ty vavan-diona,
34 quenched the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, from weakness were made strong, grew mighty in war, and caused foreign armies to flee.
namono ty afo nisotratràke, nibolititse ami’ty lelam-pibara, ni-haozareñe te naifoifo, nifanalolahy añ’aly vaho nampitriban-day o lahin-defon’ ambahinio.
35 Women received their dead by resurrection. Others were tortured, not accepting their deliverance, that they might obtain a better resurrection.
Rinambe’ o rakembao o vilasi’ iareoo te vinañon-ko veloñe; nisamporeraheñe ty ila’e nitoky tsy hahañe, handrambesa’ iareo ty fitroarañe soa,
36 Others were tried by mocking and scourging, yes, moreover by bonds and imprisonment.
nitsoehem-pañinjeañe naho firiso ty ila’e, mbore vinahotse vaho najo am-pandrohizañe ao.
37 They were stoned. They were sawn apart. They were tempted. They were slain with the sword. They went around in sheep skins and in goat skins; being destitute, afflicted, ill-treated—
Finetsa-bato iereo, linily lasý, nizizieñe, vinono am-pibara, nirererere an-kolits’ añondry naho holits’ ose, nibangý, niforekekèñe, nivolevolèñe—
38 of whom the world was not worthy—wandering in deserts, mountains, caves, and the holes of the earth.
tsy nañeva iareo ty voatse toy—nisariosario an-dratraratra añe naho am-bohitse ao naho an-dakato vaho an-kobo’ ty tane toy ao.
39 These all, having been commended for their faith, did not receive the promise,
Ie iaby rezay, niventem-patokisañe, fe tsy nandrambe i nampitamaeñey.
40 God having provided some better thing concerning us, so that apart from us they should not be made perfect.
Amy te lombolombon-kasoa ty natolon’ Añahare aman-tika, te tsy ho fonireñe iereo naho tsy itika.
