Hebrews 11
1 Now faith is a realization of things being hoped for, an evidence of things not seen.
POJON me pajon en me kadede kin kaporoporeki o kadede pan me jo janjal.
2 By it the ancients were approved.
Pwe me men kaua aleer kadede parail.
3 By faith we understand that the ages were created by a word from God, so that the things that are seen were made out of things invisible. (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 to God a better sacrifice than did Cain, through which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying concerning his gifts; and by means of it he still speaks, even though being 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 transferred so as not to see death, and could not be found because God had translated him; before his translation he had obtained witness that he was pleasing to 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 Now without faith it is impossible to please Him, because the one approaching God must believe that He exists and that He becomes a rewarder of 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, being divinely warned of things not yet seen, moved with godly fear, prepared an ark for the salvation of his household, by which he condemned the world and became an heir of the righteousness that is according to 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, upon being called to go forth to the place that he would receive as an inheritance, obeyed and went, though not being acquainted with 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 migrated into the land of promise as into a foreign country, dwelling in tents, along with Isaac and Jacob, the fellow heirs 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 waiting expectantly for the city with the real foundations, whose designer and builder is God.
Pwe a auiaui kanim eu, me a pajon mia, me wiauieda ren Kot.
11 By faith Sarah herself also received power to conceive seed, and she bore a child when she was past the normal age, since she judged 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, actually an impotent, were begotten 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 These all died believing—not having received the promises, but having seen and welcomed them from a distance, thus confessing that they were aliens and sojourners 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 make it clear that they are seeking a homeland.
A ni ar wia due met, re kin kajaleda, me re rapaki udan jap arail.
15 If they were actually remembering that land from which they had departed, they would have had opportunity to return.
A ma irail nonki jap o, me re ko janer, irail pan kak purelan.
16 Instead they are aspiring to a better home—a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God; in fact 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, upon being tested, offered up Isaac; yes, he who had received the promises was about to sacrifice his only begotten,
Ni pojon Apraam maironki Ijaak, ni a kajonejon o mueidala na ieroj, murin a aleer inau o.
18 of whom it had been said, “Through Isaac will your seed be reckoned,”
Iran I a lokido: Jan Ijaak kadaudok om me pan irerok wei.
19 calculating that God was indeed able to raise him from the dead; from whence in fact he did receive him, figuratively speaking.
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 things to come.
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, leaning 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, near the end, thought of the exodus of the sons of Israel and gave orders concerning 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 was hidden for three months by his parents, after he was born, because they saw he was a fine child, and they were not afraid 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 had grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter,
Ni pojon Mojej lao laudala, kan inaneki nain Parao jeripein.
25 choosing rather to be maltreated along with God's people than to have the temporary pleasure of sin,
O a piladar en ian japwilim en Kot aramaj akan kamekam, jan peren mal en dip me motomot.
26 considering the reproach of Christ to be greater riches than the treasures of Egypt; because he was looking ahead to the reward.
O a kajampwaleki kanamenok en Krijtuj jan kapwa en Akipten, pwe a kupukupura katinpa.
27 By faith he left Egypt behind, not fearing the king's rage, because he persevered as though seeing 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 the blood, so that the destroyer of the firstborn would not touch them.
Ni pojon a wia paja o ujup en nta, pwe me pan kamela mejeni kan, ender kai on ir.
29 By faith they passed through the Red Sea as on dry ground, whereas the Egyptians, attempting to do so, were swallowed up.
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 down, having been encircled for seven days.
Ni pojon kel en kanim Ieriko ronki pajan murin ar pidaki ran iju.
31 By faith the prostitute Rahab, having received the spies in peace, did not perish with the 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? For the time would fail me to tell about Gideon, about Barak and Samson and Jephtha, about David and 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 subdued kingdoms, administered justice, obtained promises, closed lions' mouths,
Duen ar kaloekidi wei kan pojon, kapwaiada lamalam pun, paieki inau kan, kaku pena au en laien,
34 quenched the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, became mighty in battle, put to flight foreign armies.
Kakunla kel en kijiniai, piti jan au en kodlaj, luetalar rap kelail lar, komad ni mauin, kaloedier jaunpei en wai kan.
35 Women received their dead back by resurrection; while others were tortured, not accepting their deliverance, so that they might obtain 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 were tried by mockings and scourgings, and even by 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 tempted, they were murdered by sword. They went about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, 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 —of whom the world was not worthy—wandering in deserts and mountains and 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 Now all these did not receive the promise, though having been approved through faith,
Mepukat karoj lok mau kilar ni pojon, a jota paieki inau o.
40 God having planned something better for us, so that they should not be perfected without us.
Pwe Kot kotin kaonopadan kitail me mau jan arail pai, pwe irail ender unjokalar mo atail.
