Hebrews 11
1 Now faith is the assurance of what we hope for and the certainty of what we do not see.
POJON me pajon en me kadede kin kaporoporeki o kadede pan me jo janjal.
2 This is why the ancients were commended.
Pwe me men kaua aleer kadede parail.
3 By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible. (aiōn g165)
Ni pojon kitail aja, me lan o jappa majan en Kot, iei me dipijou kan, me kitail kin kilan, jo wiauiki meakai me janjal. (aiōn g165)
4 By faith Abel offered God a better sacrifice than Cain did. By faith he was commended as righteous when God gave approval to his gifts. And by faith he still speaks, even though he is dead.
Ni pojon Apel maironiki on Kot me mau jan Kain, ap dede kilar, me i me pun, pwe Kot kotin kupukupura a kijakij. O i me a kin padapadaki murin a melar lao lel met.
5 By faith Enoch was taken up so that he did not see death: “He could not be found, because God had taken him away.” For before he was taken, he was commended as one who pleased God.
Ni pojon Enok peukadala, pwen der kilan mela, ari, a joer diarokada, pwe Kot kotin ukadala i, a mon a peukadala kadedepa mia, duen a kon on Kot.
6 And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who approaches Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him.
A ma jo pojon, jota me pan kak kon on Kot. Pwe me men tu on Kot, en pojon, me a kotin mia, o me a pan kotin katini on ir, me rapaki i.
7 By faith Noah, when warned about things not yet seen, in godly fear built an ark to save his family. By faith he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness that comes by faith.
Ni pojon Noa majakadar, ni a kauada war im, pwen kamaureda toun im a, ni a aleer majan en Kot, duen me jaikenta janjal, o i me a kadeikada jappa, o jojoki pun, me pwili jan pojon.
8 By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, without knowing where he was going.
Ni pojon Apraam peiki on Kot, ni a paeker, en lipalan eu jap, me a pan jojoki; i ari lipalan o jota aja, waja me a pan kotila ia.
9 By faith he dwelt in the promised land as a stranger in a foreign country. He lived in tents, as did Isaac and Jacob, who were heirs with him of the same promise.
Ni pojon a wiala men wai amen nan jap en inau, o kotikot nan im likau kai, a Ijaak o Iakop, me pan pil ale jojo en inau ota, ian i,
10 For he was looking forward to the city with foundations, whose architect and builder is God.
Pwe a auiaui kanim eu, me a pajon mia, me wiauieda ren Kot.
11 By faith Sarah, even though she was barren and beyond the proper age, was enabled to conceive a child, because she considered Him faithful who had promised.
Pil Jara keleki pojon ni a pan lijeanda, ap naitikada jeri amen, ni a li dapwan, pwe a aja, me i melel amen, me kotiki on i inau o.
12 And so from one man, and he as good as dead, came descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as countless as the sand on the seashore.
I me jan me ta men, me rajon mela amen, me toto tapida jan, due uju en lan me totoia, o me rajon pik en ni oror, me jota kak wadawad.
13 All these people died in faith, without having received the things they were promised. However, they saw them and welcomed them from afar. And they acknowledged that they were strangers and exiles on the earth.
Mepukat karoj matalar nin pojon o kaikenta paieki inau o, a re kilaner jan ni waja doo, ap peren kidar o kadededar, me re men kairu o men wai in jappa.
14 Now those who say such things show that they are seeking a country of their own.
A ni ar wia due met, re kin kajaleda, me re rapaki udan jap arail.
15 If they had been thinking of the country they had left, they would have had opportunity to return.
A ma irail nonki jap o, me re ko janer, irail pan kak purelan.
16 Instead, they were longing for a better country, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has prepared a city for them.
A jo, pwe re inon ion eu jap, me mau jan jappa, me mi nanlan, I me Kot jota kotin nanlan, i me Kot jota kotin namenokki wiala arail Kot, pwe a kotin kaonop on irail er kanim eu.
17 By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac on the altar. He who had received the promises was ready to offer his one and only son,
Ni pojon Apraam maironki Ijaak, ni a kajonejon o mueidala na ieroj, murin a aleer inau o.
18 even though God had said to him, “Through Isaac your offspring will be reckoned.”
Iran I a lokido: Jan Ijaak kadaudok om me pan irerok wei.
19 Abraham reasoned that God could raise the dead, and in a sense, he did receive Isaac back from death.
Pwe a aja, me Kot pil kotin kak kamaurada i jan ren me melar akan, I me a pil pur on naine kin i, pwen wia karajepa eu.
20 By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning the future.
Ni pojon Ijaak kapaiadan Iakop o Ejau meakan me pan wiaui.
21 By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of Joseph’s sons and worshiped as he leaned on the top of his staff.
Ni pojon Ijaak kapaiadan nain Iojep putak riamen, ni a pan matala, o a pairukila pon a jokon.
22 By faith Joseph, when his end was near, spoke about the exodus of the Israelites and gave instructions about his bones.
Ni pojon Iojep, ni a pan matala, a kokopada duen kadaudok en Ijrael ar pan lipala, o a kakalik on ir duen ti a kan.
23 By faith Moses’ parents hid him for three months after his birth, because they saw that he was a beautiful child, and they were unafraid of the king’s edict.
Ni pojon Mojej, ni a ipwidier, okiokilar ren jam a in a jaunipon jilu, pwe ira kilaner, me a jeri kajelel amen, o ira jota majak en nanmwarki a kujoned.
24 By faith Moses, when he was grown, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter.
Ni pojon Mojej lao laudala, kan inaneki nain Parao jeripein.
25 He chose to suffer oppression with God’s people rather than to experience the fleeting enjoyment of sin.
O a piladar en ian japwilim en Kot aramaj akan kamekam, jan peren mal en dip me motomot.
26 He valued disgrace for Christ above the treasures of Egypt, for he was looking ahead to his reward.
O a kajampwaleki kanamenok en Krijtuj jan kapwa en Akipten, pwe a kupukupura katinpa.
27 By faith Moses left Egypt, not fearing the king’s anger; he persevered because he saw Him who is invisible.
Ni pojon a lipa jan Akipten, jota lomwiki onion en nanmarki, pwe a kotin kaporoporeki, me a jota kilaner, dueta a kilan i.
28 By faith he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of blood, so that the destroyer of the firstborn would not touch Israel’s own firstborn.
Ni pojon a wia paja o ujup en nta, pwe me pan kamela mejeni kan, ender kai on ir.
29 By faith the people passed through the Red Sea as on dry land; but when the Egyptians tried to follow, they were drowned.
Ni pojon irail kotela jed waitata, likamata nan jap madekon, me men Akipten oko pil jon, rap mopelar.
30 By faith the walls of Jericho fell, after the people had marched around them for seven days.
Ni pojon kel en kanim Ieriko ronki pajan murin ar pidaki ran iju.
31 By faith the prostitute Rahab, because she welcomed the spies in peace, did not perish with those who were disobedient.
Ni pojon Raap, li jued amen, jota ian ir, me jopojon, kamela, pweki a popol apwali liparok kan.
32 And what more shall I say? Time will not allow me to tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, Samuel, and the prophets,
O da me i en pil kajoiada? Pwe anjau me tikitik en wia kajoi duen Kideon, o Parak, o Jimjon, o Iepta, o Dawid. o Jamuel, o jaukop akan.
33 who through faith conquered kingdoms, administered justice, and gained what was promised; who shut the mouths of lions,
Duen ar kaloekidi wei kan pojon, kapwaiada lamalam pun, paieki inau kan, kaku pena au en laien,
34 quenched the raging fire, and escaped the edge of the sword; who gained strength from weakness, became mighty in battle, and put foreign armies to flight.
Kakunla kel en kijiniai, piti jan au en kodlaj, luetalar rap kelail lar, komad ni mauin, kaloedier jaunpei en wai kan.
35 Women received back their dead, raised to life again. Others were tortured and refused their release, so that they might gain a better resurrection.
Li akai pil aleer nair me melar akan, pwen mauredar. A akai kalokoloker o kan maiolar, pwe re men konodi maureda jan ren me melar akan me mau melel.
36 Still others endured mocking and flogging, and even chains and imprisonment.
Pil akai wewelokelar, o wokiwok, o pil jalidi, o lodi on nan imaten.
37 They were stoned, they were sawed in two, they were put to death by the sword. They went around in sheepskins and goatskins, destitute, oppressed, and mistreated.
Irail pakajuk, de rajaraj pajan, de kame kila kodlaj; re janjarawaru jili, likauiki kil en jip o kut, jamamalar, kaanka mekam, o apwal akan.
38 The world was not worthy of them. They wandered in deserts and mountains, and hid in caves and holes in the ground.
A men liki jota war on mepukat. Irail koko jili nan jap tan, nin nana kan, pan paip o pnr kai.
39 These were all commended for their faith, yet they did not receive what was promised.
Mepukat karoj lok mau kilar ni pojon, a jota paieki inau o.
40 God had planned something better for us, so that together with us they would be made perfect.
Pwe Kot kotin kaonopadan kitail me mau jan arail pai, pwe irail ender unjokalar mo atail.
