Hebrews 11
1 Now faith is the grounds of things, which are hoped for, and the euidence of things which are not seene.
Est autem fides sperandarum substantia rerum, argumentum non apparentium.
2 For by it our elders were well reported of.
In hac enim testimonium consecuti sunt senes.
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)
Fide intelligimus aptata esse saecula verbo Dei: ut ex invisibilibus visibilia fierent. (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.
Fide plurimam hostiam Abel, quam Cain, obtulit Deo, per quam testimonium consecutus est esse iustus, testimonium perhibente muneribus eius Deo, et per illam defunctus adhuc loquitur.
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.
Fide Henoch translatus est ne videret mortem, et non inveniebatur: quia transtulit illum Deus: ante translationem enim testimonium habuit placuisse Deo.
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.
Sine fide autem impossibile est placere Deo. Credere enim oportet accedentem ad Deum quia est, et inquirentibus se remunerator sit.
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.
Fide Noe responso accepto de iis, quae adhuc non videbantur, metuens aptavit arcam in salutem domus suae, per quam damnavit mundum: et iustitiae, quae per fidem est, heres est institutus.
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.
Fide qui vocatur Abraham obedivit in locum exire, quem accepturus erat in hereditatem: et exiit, nesciens quo iret.
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.
Fide demoratus est in Terra repromissionis, tamquam in aliena, in casulis habitando cum Isaac, et Iacob coheredibus repromissionis eiusdem.
10 For he looked for a citie hauing a foundation, whose builder and maker is God.
Expectabat enim fundamenta habentem civitatem: cuius artifex, et conditor Deus.
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.
Fide et ipsa Sara sterilis virtutem in conceptione seminis accepit, etiam praeter tempus aetatis: quoniam fidelem credidit esse eum, qui repromiserat.
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.
Propter quod et ab uno orti sunt (et hoc emortuo) tamquam sidera caeli in multitudinem, et sicut arena, quae est ad oram maris, innumerabilis.
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.
Iuxta fidem defuncti sunt omnes isti, non acceptis repromissionibus, sed a longe eas aspicientes, et salutantes, et confitentes quia peregrini, et hospites sunt super terram.
14 For they that say such things, declare plainely, that they seeke a countrey.
Qui enim haec dicunt, significant se patriam inquirere.
15 And if they had bene mindfull of that countrey, from whence they came out, they had leasure to haue returned.
Et si quidem ipsius meminissent de qua exierunt, habebant utique tempus revertendi.
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.
nunc autem meliorem appetunt, id est, caelestem. Ideo non confunditur Deus vocari Deus eorum: paravit enim illis civitatem.
17 By faith Abraham offered vp Isaac, when he was tryed, and he that had receiued the promises, offered his onely begotten sonne.
Fide obtulit Abraham Isaac, cum tentaretur, et unigenitum offerebat, in quo susceperat repromissiones;
18 (To whom it was said, In Isaac shall thy seede be called.)
ad quem dictum est: Quia in Isaac vocabitur tibi semen:
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.
arbitrans quia et a mortuis suscitare potens est Deus: unde eum et in parabolam accepit.
20 By faith Isaac blessed Iacob and Esau, concerning things to come.
Fide et de futuris benedixit Isaac Iacob, et Esau.
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.
Fide Iacob, moriens, singulos filiorum Ioseph benedixit: et adoravit fastigium virgae eius.
22 By faith Ioseph when he died, made mention of the departing of the children of Israel, and gaue commandement of his bones.
Fide Ioseph, moriens, de profectione filiorum Israel memoratus est, et de ossibus suis mandavit.
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.
Fide Moyses, natus, occultatus est mensibus tribus a parentibus suis, eo quod vidissent elegantem infantem, et non timuerunt regis edictum.
24 By faith Moses when he was come to age, refused to be called the sonne of Pharaohs daughter,
Fide Moyses grandis factus negavit se esse filium filiae Pharaonis,
25 And chose rather to suffer aduersitie with the people of God, then to enioy the pleasures of sinnes for a season,
magis eligens affligi cum populo Dei, quam temporalis peccati habere iucunditatem,
26 Esteeming the rebuke of Christ greater riches then the treasures of Egypt: for he had respect vnto the recompence of the reward.
maiores divitias aestimans thesauro Aegyptiorum, improperium Christi: aspiciebat enim in remunerationem.
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.
Fide reliquit Aegyptum, non veritus animositatem regis: invisibilem enim tamquam videns sustinuit.
28 Through faith he ordeined the Passeouer and the effusion of blood, least he that destroyed the first borne, should touche them.
Fide celebravit pascha, et sanguinis effusionem: ne qui vastabat primitiva, tangeret eos.
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.
Fide transierunt Mare rubrum tamquam per aridam terram: quod experti Aegyptii, devorati sunt.
30 By faith the walles of Iericho fell downe after they were copassed about seue dayes.
Fide muri Iericho corruerunt, circuitu dierum septem.
31 By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them which obeyed not, when she had receiued the spies peaceably.
Fide Rahab meretrix non periit cum incredulis, excipiens exploratores cum pace.
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:
Et quid adhuc dicam? Deficiet enim me tempus enarrantem de Gedeon, Barac, Samson, Iephte, David, Samuel, et Prophetis:
33 Which through faith subdued kingdomes, wrought righteousnesse, obteined the promises, stopped the mouthes of lions,
qui per fidem vicerunt regna, operati sunt iustitiam, adepti sunt repromissiones, obturaverunt ora leonum,
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.
extinxerunt impetum ignis, effugaverunt aciem gladii, convaluerunt de infirmitate, fortes facti sunt in bello, castra verterunt exterorum:
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.
acceperunt mulieres de resurrectione mortuos suos: alii autem distenti sunt non suscipientes redemptionem, ut meliorem invenirent resurrectionem.
36 And others haue bene tryed by mockings and scourgings, yea, moreouer by bondes and prisonment.
Alii vero ludibria, et verbera experti, insuper et vincula, et carceres:
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:
lapidati sunt, secti sunt, tentati sunt, in occisione gladii mortui sunt, circuierunt in melotis, in pellibus caprinis, egentes, angustiati, afflicti:
38 Whom the world was not worthie of: they wandered in wildernesses and mountaines, and dennes, and caues of the earth.
quibus dignus non erat mundus: in solitudinibus errantes, in montibus, in speluncis, et in cavernis terrae.
39 And these all through faith obteined good report, and receiued not the promise,
Et hi omnes testimonio fidei probati, non acceperunt repromissionem,
40 God prouiding a better thing for vs, that they without vs should not be made perfite.
Deo pro nobis melius aliquid providente, ut non sine nobis consummarentur.
