Hebrews 11
1 Now faith is the grounds of things, which are hoped for, and the euidence of things which are not seene.
Tanghaih loe oep ih hmuen oh tangtang, tiah hnukhaih ah oh moe, hnuk ai ih hmuen to oh, tiah panoekthaihaih ih to ni.
2 For by it our elders were well reported of.
Hae pongah ni canghnii ih kacoehtanawk mah pakoehhaih to hnuk o.
3 Through faith we vnderstand that the world was ordeined by the worde of God, so that the things which we see, are not made of things which did appeare. (aiōn g165)
Long ah kaom hmuennawk loe Sithaw ih lok hoiah ni sak, tito tanghaih rang hoiah a panoek o; a hnuk o ih hmuennawk loe kamtueng hmuennawk hoiah sak ih na ai ni. (aiōn g165)
4 By faith Abel offered vnto God a greater sacrifice then Cain, by the which he obtained witnes that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: by the which faith also he being dead, yet speaketh.
Tanghaih rang hoiah ni Abel mah Kain pongah kahoih kue hmuen to Sithaw khaeah paek, to tiah hmuenpaekhaih rang hoiah anih loe kami katoeng ni, tito amtuengsak, anih mah paek ih tangqumnawk loe Sithaw mah talawk pae: anih loe duek boeh, toe vaihi khoek to lok a thuih vop.
5 By faith was Enoch translated, that he should not see death: neither was he found: for God had translated him: for before he was translated, he was reported of, that he had pleased God.
Tanghaih rang hoiah ni Enok loe duekhaih pataeng han ai ah lak ving ah oh; anih loe Sithaw mah lak ving boeh pongah, hnu thai ai boeh; anih to la ving ai naah, anih loe Sithaw palung tongh kami, tiah thuihaih to a hnuk.
6 But without faith it is vnpossible to please him: for he that commeth to God, must beleeue that God is, and that he is a rewarder of them that seeke him.
Toe tanghaih om ai ah loe Sithaw palung anghoesak thai ai: Sithaw khaeah angzo kami mah Sithaw loe oh, Anih loe loktang hoi Anih pakrong kaminawk khaeah tangqum paekkung ah oh, tiah tang han angaih.
7 By faith Noe being warned of God of the things which were as yet not seene, mooued with reuerence, prepared the Arke to the sauing of his housholde, through the which Arke hee condemned the world, and was made heire of the righteousnes, which is by faith.
Tanghaih rang hoiah ni Noah loe, hnuk vai ai ih angzo han koi hmuen to Sithaw mah thuih pae coek, Sithaw zithaih hoiah khosak pongah, angmah ih imthung takoh kaminawk pahlong hanah palong to a thuk; a tanghaih rang hoiah long kaminawk to lokcaek moe, tanghaih rang hoiah toenghaih qawk toepkung ah oh.
8 By faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed God, to goe out into a place, which hee should afterward receiue for inheritance, and he went out, not knowing whither he went.
Qawktoep han ih prae ah caeh hanah Abraham to kawk naah, anih mah naa ah maw a caeh, tito panoek ai, tanghaih rang hoiah ni Anih ih lok to tahngaih moe a caeh.
9 By faith he abode in the land of promise, as in a strange countrey, as one that dwelt in tents with Isaac and Iacob heires with him of the same promise.
Tanghaih rang hoiah ni lokkam ih prae ah kholong a caeh moe, angvin baktiah a oh, angmah hoi kanghmong lokkamhaih qawktoep koi Isak, Jakob hoi nawnto kahni imthung ah a oh:
10 For he looked for a citie hauing a foundation, whose builder and maker is God.
Abraham loe Sithaw mah sak ih, angdoethaih kaom kacak vangpui to ni pakrong.
11 Through faith Sara also receiued strength to conceiue seede, and was deliuered of a childe when she was past age, because she iudged him faithfull which had promised.
Tanghaih rang hoiah ni Sarah mah doeh lokkamhaih paek, Anih loe oepthoh, tiah panoek moe, mitong pacoengah zokpom hanah, thacakhaih to a hnuk.
12 And therefore sprang there of one, euen of one which was dead, so many as the starres of the skie in multitude, and as the land of the sea shore which is innumerable.
Kadueh hoi kanghmong, anih maeto khae hoiah ni, van cakaeh zetto kapop, tuipui taeng ih kroek laek ai savuet baktiah angpung o.
13 All these died in faith, and receiued not the promises, but sawe them a farre off, and beleeued them, and receiued them thankefully, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.
Hae kaminawk loe lokkamhaih hnu ai ah duek o boih, toe palung thung hoiah panoek o moe, pakuem o; to hmuennawk to kangthla ahmuen hoiah a danh o, nihcae mah kaicae loe long nuiah angvin hoi kholong caeh kami ah ni ka oh o, tiah panoek o.
14 For they that say such things, declare plainely, that they seeke a countrey.
To tiah lokthui kaminawk mah nihcae loe angmacae ohhaih prae to ni pakrong o, tito amtueng o sak.
15 And if they had bene mindfull of that countrey, from whence they came out, they had leasure to haue returned.
Nihcae mah angmacae tacawthaih prae to poek o nahaeloe, to prae ah amlaem thaihaih atue karaem to hnu o tih boeh.
16 But nowe they desire a better, that is an heauenly: wherefore God is not ashamed of them to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a citie.
Toe vaihi loe nihcae mah kahoih kue, van ah kaom prae to a koeh o; to pongah Sithaw mah kai loe nihcae ih Sithaw ah ka oh, tiah thuih han azat ai: Sithaw mah nihcae ohhaih vangpui to paroep pae boeh.
17 By faith Abraham offered vp Isaac, when he was tryed, and he that had receiued the promises, offered his onely begotten sonne.
Abraham mah tanoekhaih tongh naah, tanghaih rang hoiah ni Isak to a paek: to tiah Sithaw lokkamhaih kahnuh Abraham mah maeto khue a tawnh ih a capa to a paek kik,
18 (To whom it was said, In Isaac shall thy seede be called.)
anih kawng pongah, Nang ih atii loe Isak khae hoiah ni kroek tih, tiah thuih ih lok to oh:
19 For he considered that God was able to raise him vp euen from the dead: from whence he receiued him also after a sort.
Sithaw mah loe kadueh kami to pathawk thaih, tiah anih mah tang; to pongah patahhaih baktiah duekhaih thung hoiah angthawk let a capa to anih mah hnuk.
20 By faith Isaac blessed Iacob and Esau, concerning things to come.
Tanghaih rang hoiah ni angzo han koi hmuennawk pongah, Isak mah Jakob hoi Esau to tahamhoihaih paek.
21 By faith Iacob when he was a dying, blessed both the sonnes of Ioseph, and leaning on the ende of his staffe, worshipped God.
Tanghaih rang hoiah ni Jakob mah duek tom naah, Joseph ih caanawk to tahamhoihaih paek; angmah ih cunghet pongah amha moe, Sithaw to a bok.
22 By faith Ioseph when he died, made mention of the departing of the children of Israel, and gaue commandement of his bones.
Tanghaih rang hoiah ni Joseph mah duek tom naah, Israel kaminawk tacawthaih kawng hoi angmah ih ahuh kawng to a thuih.
23 By faith Moses when he was borne, was hid three moneths of his parents, because they sawe he was a proper childe, neither feared they the kings commandement.
Mosi tapen naah, tanghaih rang hoiah ni kranghoih nawkta, tiah a hnuk o naah, siangpahrang lokpaekhaih zii ai ah, amno hoi ampa mah khrah thumto thungah hawk hoi ving.
24 By faith Moses when he was come to age, refused to be called the sonne of Pharaohs daughter,
Tanghaih rang hoiah ni Mosi loe saning akoep pacoengah, Faro canu ih capa ah oh han koeh ai;
25 And chose rather to suffer aduersitie with the people of God, then to enioy the pleasures of sinnes for a season,
zae koehhaih thungah atue setta thung kanawm acaeng pongah loe, anih mah Sithaw kaminawk hoi nawnto patangkhanghaih to qoih lat;
26 Esteeming the rebuke of Christ greater riches then the treasures of Egypt: for he had respect vnto the recompence of the reward.
Kri pongah kasae thuihaih loe, Izip prae ih tacongnawk pongah atho oh kue, tiah a poek moe, a hnuk han koi tangqum to a khet lat.
27 By faith he forsooke Egypt, and feared not the fiercenes of the king: for he endured, as he that sawe him which is inuisible.
Tanghaih rang hoiah ni siangpahrang palungphuihaih to zii ai ah, Izip prae to a caehtaak: hnuk thai ai ih Sithaw to a hnuk thaih pongah, pauephaih hoiah khosak.
28 Through faith he ordeined the Passeouer and the effusion of blood, least he that destroyed the first borne, should touche them.
Tanghaih rang hoiah ni misong loihaih poih hoi athii pathaekhaih to a sak, to tih ai nahaeloe calu humkung Anih mah Israel kaminawk to hum tih.
29 By faith they passed through the red sea as by drie land, which when the Egyptians had assayed to doe, they were swallowed vp.
Tanghaih rang hoiah ni nihcae mah, tuipui kathim to saoeng ah caeh baktiah a caeh o: Izip kaminawk mah to tiah caeh o toeng han amsak o naah loe, tui mah nihcae to uem boih.
30 By faith the walles of Iericho fell downe after they were copassed about seue dayes.
Tanghaih rang hoiah ni Jeriko tapang to ni sarihto takui o pacoengah amtimh rup.
31 By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them which obeyed not, when she had receiued the spies peaceably.
Tanghaih rang hoiah ni tangzat zaw Rahap loe tamquta hoi misa khen kaminawk to oephaih hoiah talawk moe, katang ai kaminawk hoi nawnto anghmaa ai.
32 And what shall I more say? for the time would be too short for me to tell of Gedeon, of Barac, and of Sampson, and of Iephte, also of Dauid, and Samuel, and of the Prophets:
To khue ai timaw ka thuih bae han vop? Gideon, Barak, Samson, Japhet, David, Samuel hoi tahmaanawk kawng to ka thuih nahaeloe, atue mah khawt mak ai:
33 Which through faith subdued kingdomes, wrought righteousnesse, obteined the promises, stopped the mouthes of lions,
tanghaih rang hoiah ni nihcae mah praenawk to lak o, toenghaih to a sak o pongah lokkamhaih to a hnuk o moe, kaipui pakha to tamuep o,
34 Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sworde, of weake were made strong, waxed valiant in battell, turned to flight the armies of the aliants.
tha kaom hmaipalai to paduek o, aha kanoe sumsen thung hoiah a loih o, thacak ai thung hoiah thacakhaih to a tawnh o pongah, acaeng kalah misanawk to a haek o.
35 The women receiued their dead raised to life: other also were racked, and woulde not be deliuered, that they might receiue a better resurrection.
Nongpatanawk mah kangthawk let kadueh a caa to hnuk o: kalah kaminawk loe pacaekthlaekhaih tongh o, kahoih kue angthawk lethaih to hnuk o hanah, loihaih to koeh o ai.
36 And others haue bene tryed by mockings and scourgings, yea, moreouer by bondes and prisonment.
Thoemto kaminawk loe pahnui thuihaih hoi bohhaihnawk to tong o, ue, sumqui hoiah pathlet o moe, thongim ah pakhrak o:
37 They were stoned, they were hewen asunder, they were tempted, they were slaine with the sworde, they wandred vp and downe in sheepes skinnes, and in goates skinnes, being destitute, afflicted, and tormented:
nihcae to thlung hoiah vah o moe, sarang hoiah aah o pat, hraem o moe, sumsen hoiah hum o: amtanghaih, patangkhanghaih, pacaekthlaekhaih hoiah oh o moe, tuu hin hoi maeh hin angkhuk hoiah amhet o;
38 Whom the world was not worthie of: they wandered in wildernesses and mountaines, and dennes, and caues of the earth.
(nihcae hanah loe long hae atho om ai: ) nihcae loe praezaek hoi mae nuiah amhet o moe, tahawt hoi thlungkhaw thungah khosak o.
39 And these all through faith obteined good report, and receiued not the promise,
Tanghaih rang hoiah ni hae kaminawk boih mah pakoehhaih to hnuk o, toe lokkamhaih loe hnu o ai:
40 God prouiding a better thing for vs, that they without vs should not be made perfite.
Sithaw mah aicae hanah kahoih kue hmuen ang suek pae pongah, aicae ai ah loe nihcae mah akoephaih hnu o thai mak ai.
