< Hebrews 11 >
1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
Ri kojonik are chi qas tzij kaqayeꞌj xuqujeꞌ kakubꞌiꞌ qakꞌuꞌx chi kaqakꞌamawaꞌj na ri man kaqil ta uwach.
2 For by it the elders obtained a good report.
Jeriꞌ rumal che ri rumal ri kojobꞌal ri Dios xuꞌkꞌamawaꞌj ri qatat qanan ojer.
3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word (rhema) of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. (aiōn )
Xuqujeꞌ rumal ri kojobꞌal kaqachꞌobꞌo chi rumal ri utzij ri Dios xtikitaj ronojel ri jastaq ri kaqil uwach xuqujeꞌ ri man kaqil ta uwach jeriꞌ ri kaqil uwach xbꞌanik rumal ri man kaqil ta uwach. (aiōn )
4 By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaks.
Rumal ri kojobꞌal ri Abel xutzuj jun sipanik ri sibꞌalaj xqaj cho ri Dios man kajunumataj ta rukꞌ ri rech ri Caín, rumal riꞌ xqꞌalajisaxik chi jun sukꞌalaj winaq, rumal cher ri Dios xukꞌam ri usipanik. Xuqujeꞌ pune kaminaq chik ri Abel kꞌo kaqetaꞌmaj chirij ri ukuꞌlibꞌal ukꞌuꞌx chirij ri Dios.
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 this testimony, that he pleased God.
Rumal ri kojobꞌal ri Enoc xesax bꞌik pa we uwachulew riꞌ rech jeriꞌ man xkam taj, are majaꞌ kakꞌam bꞌik xnimanik xuqujeꞌ xqaj cho ri Dios man xriqitaj ta chi kꞌu wi, rumal cher are ri Dios xkꞌamow bꞌik.
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 them that diligently seek him.
Qas tzij wi, we man kꞌo qakojobꞌal man kujqaj ta wi cho ri Dios, jeriꞌ rumal ri kaqet rukꞌ ri Dios choqꞌaqꞌ wi kukojo chi kꞌo ri Dios xuqujeꞌ Areꞌ katewchiꞌnik ri kajeqiꞌ ukꞌuꞌx chirij.
7 By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.
Rumal ri kojobꞌal xbꞌix loq che ri Noé ri kakꞌulmataj na, rukꞌ mochꞌoj ibꞌ xuyako ri arca rech jeriꞌ xuꞌkol ri e kꞌo pa ri rachoch. Rukꞌ ri kojobꞌal xuqꞌat tzij pa kiwiꞌ ri winaq ajuwachulew xuqujeꞌ xuxik echaꞌnel rech ri sukꞌal ri kakꞌamawaꞌxik rumal ri kojobꞌal.
8 By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing where he went.
Ri Abraham rumal chi kꞌo ukojobꞌal xnimanik xel bꞌik pa ri kꞌolibꞌal ri kꞌo wi, xeꞌ pa ri kꞌolibꞌal ri xukꞌamawaꞌj na che rechabꞌal, xeꞌek, pune man retaꞌm taj jawjeꞌ ri keꞌ wi.
9 By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise:
Rumal che ri kꞌo ukojobꞌal, xkꞌojiꞌk pa ri tinimit jacha kubꞌan jun ikꞌowel pa ri ulew ri xtzuj che, xuqujeꞌ xkꞌojiꞌk pa taq ri ja ri xaq che atzꞌyaq xuqujeꞌ cheꞌ bꞌantal wi, e rachiꞌl ri Isaac xuqujeꞌ ri Jacob are waꞌ e rachiꞌl chi rechabꞌexik ri tzujtal loq.
10 For he looked for a city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God.
Jeriꞌ, rumal cher ri Abraham rayeꞌm ri tinimit ri uyakom ri Dios, ri qas ko xuqujeꞌ utz bꞌantal chuyakik.
11 Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised.
Rumal ri kojobꞌal, ri Dios xuya uchuqꞌabꞌ ri Sara rech kakꞌojiꞌ ral pune man kakwinik kekꞌojiꞌ ral, rumal cher ri Sara xkubꞌiꞌ ukꞌuꞌx chi ri Dios kubꞌano ri ubꞌim loq.
12 Therefore sprang there even of one, and him as good as dead, so many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable.
Rumal riꞌ ri Abraham are jubꞌiqꞌ karaj kakamik xekꞌojiꞌ sibꞌalaj e kꞌi rijaꞌl kejunumataj rukꞌ ri chꞌumil ri e kꞌo cho ri kaj xuqujeꞌ ri sanyobꞌ ri kꞌo chuchiꞌ ri plo, man kꞌo ta jun kakwinik kaꞌjilanik.
13 These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them far off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.
Konojel we winaq ri xeꞌqatzijoj xekꞌam bꞌik man xkikꞌamawaꞌj ta ri jastaq ri xtzuj chike, xane xwi xkil apanoq chi petinaq xuqujeꞌ xkibꞌij chi xaq iꞌkꞌowel xuqujeꞌ man e rech taj ri uwachulew.
14 For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country.
Ri winaq ri jewaꞌ kakibꞌij, qas kakikꞌutu chi qas man ajuwachulew taj, xane tajin kakitzukuj na jun kitinimit.
15 And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned.
We winaq riꞌ man are ta tajin kakichomaj rij ri tinimit ri xeꞌl wi loq, we ta jeriꞌ, xetzalij ta bꞌa kan riꞌ je laꞌ.
16 But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he has prepared for them a city.
Xane are kakirayij jun kitinimit ri kꞌo na cho ronojel, are waꞌ ri kꞌo pa ri kaj. Rumal riꞌ ri Dios man xukꞌixibꞌej taj chi we winaq riꞌ xkibꞌij kiDios che, xane xuyak jun tinimit ri xaq ke aꞌreꞌ.
17 By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son,
Rumal ri kojobꞌal, ri Abraham xunimaj ri Dios are xtaqchiꞌx chutzujik, ri Isaac ri xa jun ukꞌojol, che sipanik.
18 Of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall your seed be called:
Pune xubꞌij ri Dios che chi kekꞌojiꞌ na sibꞌalaj e kꞌi rijaꞌl rumal rech ri Isaac.
19 Accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead; from whence also he received him in a figure.
Ri Abraham retaꞌm chi ri Dios kꞌo ukwinem chikikꞌastajisaxik ri kaminaqibꞌ, jeriꞌ xaq esal uwach chi ri Isaac xkꞌastajik chikixoꞌl ri kaminaqibꞌ.
20 By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come.
Rumal ri kojobꞌal ri Isaac xuꞌtewechiꞌj ri uꞌkꞌojol ri Jacob rachiꞌl ri Esaú, xril apanoq ri kakꞌulmatajik pa ri qꞌij ri petinaq.
21 By faith Jacob, when he was a dying, blessed both the sons of Joseph; and worshipped, leaning upon the top of his staff.
Rumal ri kojobꞌal ri Jacob are jubꞌiqꞌ karaj kakamik, xuꞌtewechiꞌj chi kijujunal ri e ralkꞌwaꞌl ri José, kꞌa te riꞌ xuqꞌijilaꞌj ri Dios xuqꞌaleꞌj ri utzaꞌm ri uchꞌamiꞌy.
22 By faith Joseph, when he died, made mention of the departing of the children of Israel; and gave commandment concerning his bones.
Ri José rumal ri kojobꞌal are jubꞌiqꞌ karaj kakamik, xutzijoj chi keꞌl na loq ri winaq aꞌj Israel je laꞌ pa ri tinimit Egipto, xuqujeꞌ xubꞌij kanoq chike chi kakikꞌam bꞌik ri ubꞌaqil are kebꞌek.
23 By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months of his parents, because they saw he was a proper child; and they were not afraid of the king's commandment.
Rumal ri kojobꞌal ri Moisés are xkꞌojiꞌk xawaxik oxibꞌ ikꞌ kumal ri utat unan, rumal cher xkilo chi ri kꞌin laj akꞌal sibꞌalaj jeꞌl kakaꞌyik, man xkixiꞌj ta kibꞌ cho ri utaqanik ri nim taqanel.
24 By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter;
Rumal ri kojobꞌal, ri Moisés are achi chik, man xraj taj xukꞌamawaꞌj uqꞌabꞌ chi ral ri umiꞌal ri faraón.
25 Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;
Ri Moisés man xraj taj xukꞌamawaꞌj ri yaꞌtal che jetaq jun winaq ri aꞌj Egipto, rumal cher we jastaq riꞌ makaj cho ri Dios, xane are xukochꞌo xbꞌan kꞌax che rukꞌ ri utinimit ri Dios.
26 Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward.
Man xraj taj xukꞌamawaꞌj ri qꞌinomal rech Egipto, are xuchomaj chi are katanik kuriq kꞌax jetaq ri kꞌax ri kuriq na ri Cristo, jeriꞌ rumal cher retaꞌm chi are ri Dios kayoꞌw na ri utojbꞌalil che.
27 By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.
Rumal ri kojobꞌal, ri Moisés xel bꞌik pa ri tinimit Egipto, man xuxiꞌj ta ribꞌ che ri royawal ri nim taqanel, ko xkꞌojiꞌk pa ri uchomanik, are xukaꞌyej ri Dios ri man kilitaj ta uwach.
28 Through faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of blood, lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them.
Rumal ri kojobꞌal xrikꞌowisaj ri nimaqꞌij rech Pascua, xuqujeꞌ xtaqanik chi ri aꞌj Israel kakichikoj kikꞌ chuchiꞌ taq ri kachoch rech jeriꞌ ri ángel rech ri kamikal man xuꞌkamisaj ta ri e nabꞌyal taq kal ri aꞌj Israel.
29 By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians assaying to do were drowned.
Rumal ri kojobꞌal, ri winaq aꞌj Israel kiqꞌaxaj ri kyaq plo jetaq ta ne chi xebꞌinik choch ri chaqiꞌj uwachulew, ri winaq aꞌj Egipto, are xkaj xeqꞌax pa ri plo, xejiqꞌ kanoq.
30 By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they were compassed about seven days.
Rumal ri kojobꞌal xetzaq ri tapya ri usutim rij ri tinimit Jericó, are xesutin wuqubꞌ mul ri aꞌj Israel chirij.
31 By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them that believed not, when she had received the spies with peace.
Rumal ri kojobꞌal, ri ixoq ubꞌiꞌ Rahab, ri kukꞌayij ribꞌ kamakun kukꞌ taq achyabꞌ, man xkam taj kukꞌ ri winaq ri man xeniman taj, rumal cher utz xubꞌan che kikꞌamawaꞌxik ri xetaq bꞌik chi rilik ri tinimit Jericó.
32 And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets:
¿Jas chi kꞌu ri kinbꞌij na? Xa man kuya ta chi ri qꞌotaj chutzijoxik kij ri Gedeón, Barac, Sansón, Jefté, David, Samuel, xuqujeꞌ ri e qꞌalajisal taq tzij.
33 Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions.
We winaq riꞌ rukꞌ ri kikojobꞌal xechꞌeken chike ri tinimit, xkiqꞌat tzij pa kiwiꞌ, xuqujeꞌ xkikꞌamawaꞌj ri bꞌiꞌtal loq chike, xkitzꞌapij upakichiꞌ ri e koj,
34 Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens.
Xkichup nimaq taq qꞌaqꞌ. Ri winaq man xekwin taj che kikamisaxik rukꞌ sakꞌibꞌal, pa ri chꞌoꞌj xkikꞌutu chi qas kꞌo kichuqꞌabꞌ, ri ajchꞌoꞌjabꞌ e kikꞌulel xaꞌnimaj bꞌik chikiwach.
35 Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection:
Ri ixoqibꞌ rumal che ri xkubꞌiꞌ kikꞌuꞌx chirij ri Dios, xekꞌastaj na ri e kikaminaqibꞌ. E kꞌo chi jujun ri xechꞌayik xekamisaxik man xkaj taj chi xetzoqopix kanoq jeriꞌ rumal cher ketaꞌm chi sibꞌalaj jeꞌl ri kꞌaslemal ri kakiriq na are kekꞌastajik.
36 And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment:
E nikꞌaj chik xkiriq yoqꞌik, xkiriq chꞌayik, xejatꞌix rukꞌ taq chꞌichꞌ jatꞌibꞌal kꞌa te riꞌ xetzꞌapix pa cheꞌ.
37 They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented;
Xebꞌan che abꞌaj, xesyerixik, xeꞌsax pa kebꞌ. Xaꞌnimajik xebꞌek naj naqaj, kikojom utzꞌuꞌmal chij xuqujeꞌ utzꞌuꞌmal kꞌisikꞌ che katzꞌyaq, xkiriq ri mebꞌail, xkiriq ri bꞌis, kꞌax xbꞌan chike.
38 (Of whom the world was not worthy: ) they wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.
Ri winaq ri aꞌjuwachulew man xtaqiꞌ ta chike xekꞌojiꞌ we utz taq winaq riꞌ kukꞌ, rumal riꞌ we winaq riꞌ man kꞌyaqal taj xekꞌojiꞌ wi, xane xekꞌojiꞌ pa taq ri ulew ri katzꞌinowik, pa taq ri juyubꞌ, xuqujeꞌ pa taq ri jul.
39 And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise:
Konojel we winaq riꞌ, pune utz xenoꞌjinik xuqujeꞌ xkiꞌkotik ri Dios kukꞌ, man kꞌo ta jun chike xukꞌamawaꞌj ri bꞌiꞌtal loq.
40 God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.
Jeriꞌ xkꞌulmatajik, rumal kꞌo apanoq jun jeꞌl laj uchomanik ri Dios chaqe uj, rech jeriꞌ kaqakꞌamawaꞌj ri bꞌiꞌtal loq chaqe. Ri Dios xwi kubꞌan na sukꞌ chike riꞌ ri winaq riꞌ, we xbꞌantaj sukꞌ chaqe uj.
