Hebrews 11
1 Now, faith is a sure confidence with respect to things hoped for, a firm persuasion with respect to things not seen:
अब विश्वासचाहिँ आशा गरिएका कुराहरूको बारेमा भएको निश्चयता हो; अहिलेसम्म नदेखेका घटनाहरूको बारेमा भएको प्रमाण हो ।
2 for by this the ancients obtained a good reputation.
किनकि हाम्रा पुर्खाहरू तिनीहरूको विश्वासका निम्ति यसरी नै प्रमाणित भएका थिए ।
3 By faith we understand that the ages were set in order by the word of God, so that the things which are seen, have not come into being from things that appear. (aiōn g165)
विश्वासद्वारा हामी बुझ्न सक्छौँ, कि सारा विश्व परमेश्वरको आज्ञाद्वारा सृष्टि भएको थियो । त्यसकारण, जे देखिन्छन् ती देखिने कुराहरूबाट बनाइएका होइनन् । (aiōn g165)
4 By faith Abel offered to God more sacrifice than Cain; on account of which he received testimony that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts; and by it he, though dead, yet speaks.
विश्वासद्वारा नै हाबिलले कयिनले भन्दा उत्तम बलिदान चढाए । यसकारण, तिनी धर्मी हुन पुगे । यसरी, परमेश्वरप्रति तिनको भेटीको कारणले गर्दा तिनले सर्मथन पाए । त्यसैकारण, हाबिल मरे तापनि तिनी अझ बोलिरहेका छन् ।
5 By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death, and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had the testimony that he pleased God.
विश्वासद्वारा नै हनोक माथि उठाई लगिए र तिनले मृत्यु देखेनन् । “तिनी भेटिएनन्, किनकि परमेश्वरले तिनलाई उठाउनुभयो ।” कारण तिनी उठाइनुभन्दाअघि तिनले परमेश्वरलाई प्रसन्न पारेको प्रमाणित भएको थियो ।
6 But without faith it is impossible to please him; for he that comes to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of those who diligently seek him.
विनाविश्वास परमेश्वरलाई प्रसन्न पार्न असम्भव छ । किनकि जो परमेश्वरकहाँ आउँछ उसले परमेश्वर अस्तित्वमा हुनुहुन्छ भन्ने कुरामा विश्वास गर्नैपर्छ र उहाँलाई जसले खोज्छ त्यसले इनाम पाउनेछ भनी विश्वास गर्नुपर्छ ।
7 By faith Noah, after being warned concerning things not yet seen, moved with fear, prepared an ark for the salvation of his house; by which faith he condemned the world, and became an heir of the righteousness which is by faith.
विश्वासद्वारा नै नोआलाई अहिलेसम्म नदेखेका कुराहरूका बारेमा ईश्वरीय सन्देश दिइएको थियो । तिनले भक्तिमय सम्मानसाथ एउटा पानी जहाज बनाए र आफ्नो घरानालाई बचाए । यसो गरेर तिनले संसारलाई दोषी ठहराए र विश्वासअनुसार तिनी धार्मिकताका उत्तराधिकारी भए ।
8 By faith Abraham, when called to go out into a place that he should afterward receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.
अब्राहामलाई बोलाइँदा विश्वासद्वारा नै तिनले आज्ञापालन गरे र तिनी उत्तराधिकारको रूपमा पाउनुपर्ने ठाउँतिर गए । आफू कहाँ जाँदै छु भन्ने कुरा थाहै नपाए तापनि तिनी गए ।
9 By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange land, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise:
तिनी विश्वासद्वारा नै प्रतिज्ञाको देशमा एक परदेशीको रूपमा बसे । तिनी पालहरूमा इसहाक र याकूबसँगै उही प्रतिज्ञाको सङ्गी उत्तराधिकारीको रूपमा बसे ।
10 for he looked for a city that has foundations, whose architect and builder is God.
किनकि तिनले जगहरू भएको सहरलाई हेरिरहेका थिए, जुन सहरको रचनाकार र निर्माणकर्ता परमेश्वर स्वयम् हुनुहुन्छ ।
11 By faith also Sarah herself received strength for the conception of seed, and brought forth a child when past the time of life, because she counted him faithful who had promised.
सारा बाँझी भए तापनि अब्राहामले गर्भधारण गराउने शक्ति विश्वासद्वारा नै प्राप्त गरे । तिनी एकदमै वृद्ध भइसक्दा यसो भएको थियो । तिनीहरूलाई प्रतिज्ञा दिनुहुनेप्रति तिनीहरू विश्वासयोग्य भइरहे ।
12 Therefore, there were born of one, who was dead as it respects these things, a posterity like the stars of heaven in multitude, and like the sand on the sea-shore, innumerable.
त्यसैकारण, मरेतुल्य यिनै एक जना मानिसबाट आकाशका असङ्ख्य तारा र समुद्री किनारका असङ्ख्य बालुवासरह सन्तानहरू जन्मिए, जसलाई गन्नै सकिँदैन ।
13 All these died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and having embraced them and confessed that they were strangers and sojourners in the land.
यी सबै प्रतिज्ञालाई प्राप्त नगरिकनै यिनीहरू सबैले टाढैबाट स्वागत गरे । पृथ्वीमा परदेशी र निर्वासितहरू मात्र हौँ भन्ने कुरा स्वीकार गर्दै तिनीहरू विश्वासमा नै मरे ।
14 For those who say such things, declare plainly that they seek a country.
किनकि जसले यस्ता कुराहरू भन्दछन् तिनीहरूले एउटा स्वदेश खोजिरहेका छन् भन्ने कुरा स्पष्ट हुन्छ ।
15 And if indeed they had been mindful of that from which they came, they could have had an opportunity to return.
साँच्चै नै तिनीहरूले आफू निस्केर गएको देशका लागि सोचिरहेका भए, तिनीहरूले फर्केर जाने मौका पाउने थिए ।
16 But now they desire a better, that is, a heavenly country; wherefore God is not ashamed of them, that he should be called their God: for he has prepared for them a city.
तर तिनीहरू अझ उत्तम देश अर्थात् स्वर्गीय देशको चाहना गर्दछन् । त्यसकारण, परमेश्वर तिनीहरूका परमेश्वर हुन लजाउनुहुन्न, किनकि उहाँले तिनीहरूका लागि एउटा सहर तयार पार्नुभएको छ ।
17 By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: even his first-born, did he that had received the promises, offer up,
आफ्नो जाँच हुँदा विश्वासद्वारा नै अब्राहामले इसहाकलाई बलि चढाए, जो उनको एक मात्र छोरा थिए जसलाई उनले बलिदान चढाए । उनले नै प्रतिज्ञाहरू प्राप्त गरेका थिए ।
18 of which first-born it was said: In Isaac shall your posterity be called:
यिनी तिनै अब्राहाम थिए जसलाई यसो भनिएको थियो, “इसहाकद्वारा नै तेरो सन्तानको नाउँ रहनेछ ।”
19 for he concluded that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead; wherefore he received him even in like manner.
परमेश्वरले इसहाकलाई मृत्युबाट जीवित पार्न सक्नुहुने थियो भन्ने कुरा अब्राहामलाई थाहा थियो, र साङ्केतिक अर्थमा भन्नुपर्दा उनले तिनिहरूबाट आफ्ना छोरालाई फिर्ता पाएका थिए ।
20 By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come.
आउन लागेका थोकहरूको बारेमा इसहाकले विश्वासद्वारा नै याकूब र एसावलाई आशिष् दिए ।
21 By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, and worshiped on the top of his staff.
याकूब मर्नै लागेका बेलामा विश्वासद्वारा नै उनले योसेफका हरेक छोरालाई आशिष् दिए । लौरोको टुप्पोमा अडेस लागेर याकूबले आराधना गरे ।
22 By faith Joseph, when he was dying, made mention of the departure of the sons of Israel, and gave commandment concerning his bones.
योसेफको अन्त्य नजिकिँदा विश्वासद्वारा नै तिनले मिश्रबाट इस्राएलीहरू प्रस्थान हुने विषयमा बोलेका थिए र तिनका अस्थिहरूको बारेमा तिनीहरूलाई आदेश दिएका थिए ।
23 By faith Moses was concealed by his parents for three months after his birth, because they saw that he was a beautiful child: and they feared not the command of the king.
मोशा जन्मँदा तिनी सुन्दर भएको कारणले गर्दा उनका आमाबुबाले विश्वासद्वारा नै तिनलाई तिन महिनासम्म लुकाएर राखे र तिनीहरू राजाको आदेशसित डराएनन् ।
24 By faith Moses, when he became a man, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter,
मोशा हुर्केपछि विश्वासद्वारा नै तिनले फारोकी छोरीको छोरा कहलाइनलाई इन्कार गरे ।
25 choosing rather to suffer evil with the people of God than to enjoy the pleasure of sin for a season;
त्यसको सट्टामा, तिनले पापको क्षणिक सुख भोग्नुभन्दा बरु परमेश्वरका मानिसहरूसँगै दुःख भोग्ने कुरालाई छाने ।
26 esteeming the reproach on account of the Christ as greater riches than the treasures of Egypt: for he earnestly looked to the reward.
मिश्रको सम्पत्तिमा भन्दा ख्रीष्टलाई पछ्याउँदा सहनुपर्ने अपमानलाई नै उनले बहुमूल्यको ठाने । कारण उनले आफ्ना आँखालाई इनाममाथि केन्द्रित गराएका थिए ।
27 By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the anger of the king: for he patiently endured, as seeing him that is invisible.
विश्वासद्वारा नै मोशाले मिश्रदेश छोडे । उनी राजाको क्रोधदेखि डराएनन्, किनकि एक जो अदृश्यलाई देखेजस्तै गरी उनले सही रहे ।
28 By faith he kept the passover, and the affusion of blood, that he who destroyed the first-born might not touch them.
त्यसकारण, नाश गर्नेले इस्राएलीहरूका पहिले जन्मिएका जेठा छोराहरूलाई छुन नसकोस् भनी विश्वासद्वारा नै उनले निस्तार-चाड र रगतको छिट्काउको पालन गरे ।
29 By faith they passed through the Bed Sea as by dry land, which the Egyptians attempting to do, were drowned.
विश्वासद्वारा नै उनले सुख्खा जमिनमा हिँडेजस्तै गरी लाल समुद्र पार गरे । जब मिश्रीहरूले पनि यसै गर्न खोजे, तब तिनीहरू डुबे ।
30 By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after the people had gone around them for seven days.
तिनीहरूले सात दिनसम्म यरीहो पर्खालको वरिपरि घुमेपछि विश्वासद्वारा नै यो ढल्यो ।
31 By faith Rabab the harlot perished not with the disobedient, because she had received the spies with peace.
राहाब वेश्याले विश्वासद्वारा नै जासुसहरूलाई शान्तिसाथ सत्कार गरेकीले हुनाले तिनी अनाज्ञाकारीहरूसँगै नष्ट भइनन् ।
32 And what further shall I say? For the time would fail me, were I to tell of Gideon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthah, of David also and Samuel, and of the prophets,
अनि योभन्दा बढी म के भनौँ? यदि मैले गिदोन, बाराक, शिमशोन, यिप्ता, दाऊद, शमूएल र अगमवक्ताहरूको बारेमा भनेँ भने, मलाई समय नै पुग्दैन ।
33 who, through faith, subdued kingdoms, worked righteousness, obtained promises, closed the mouths of lions,
विश्वासद्वारा नै तिनीहरूले राज्यहरूलाई जिते; न्यायपूर्ण काम गरे; र प्रतिज्ञाहरू प्राप्त गरे । तिनीहरूले सिंहहरूको मुखलाई बन्द गरिदिए ।
34 quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, became valiant in battle, turned to flight the armies of the aliens.
तिनीहरूले आगोको ज्वालालाई निभाए; तरवारको धारबाट भागे; रोगहरूबाट निको पारिए; युद्धमा शक्तिशाली भए; र विदेशी सेनाहरूलाई भगाए ।
35 Women received their dead raised to life again: but others were beat to death, not accepting deliverance, that they might obtain a better resurrection;
स्त्रीहरूले आफ्ना मरेकाहरूलाई पुनरुत्थानद्वारा प्राप्त गरे । अरूले अझ उत्तम पुनरुत्थान प्राप्त गर्नलाई तिनीहरूले छुटकारालाई स्वीकार गरेनन् । त्यसैले, तिनीहरूले दण्ड भोगे ।
36 others had trial of mockings and scourgings, bonds also, and imprisonments.
अरूहरूले निन्दा, कोर्रा, साङ्ला र कैदजस्ता आदि कुराहरू सहे ।
37 They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, they were tempted, they were slain with the sword: they went about in sheep-skins, in goat-skins, being destitute, afflicted, oppressed with evils,
तिनीहरूलाई ढुङ्गाले हानियो । तिनीहरूलाई दुई भाग हुने गरी चिरियो । तिनीहरूलाई तरवारले मारियो । तिनीहरूले भेडा र बाख्राको छाला लगाएर हिँड्डुल गर्नुपर्यो र विभिन्न किसिमका दुःख, निर्दयता र अमानवीय कुराहरू सहनुपर्यो ।
38 (of whom the world was not worthy, ) wandering in deserts, and in mountains, and in caverns, and in dens of the earth.
यो संसार तिनीहरूका लागि योग्य थिएन । तिनीहरू मरुभूमि, पहाड, गुफा र जमिनका ओडारहरूतिर तितर-बितर हुनुपर्यो ।
39 And all these, having obtained a good reputation by faith, received not the promise,
यहाँसम्म यी सबै मानिसहरू तिनीहरूका विश्वासको कारण परमेश्वरद्वारा प्रमाणित भए, तापनि तिनीहरूले प्रतिज्ञा गरिएका कुराहरू प्राप्त गर्न सकेनन् ।
40 because God had provided some better thing for us, that they, without us, should not be made perfect.
हामीविना तिनीहरू सिद्ध नहोऊन् भनी परमेश्वरले हाम्रा लागि अझ उत्तम कुरा अघिबाटै योजना गरिदिनुभएको थियो ।
