< Hebrews 11 >

1 Now faith is [the] substance of things hoped for, [the] proof of matters not being seen,
ⲁ̅ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲧⲁϫⲣⲟ ⲧⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛϩⲉⲗⲡⲓⲍⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲛⲉϩⲃⲏⲩⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲛⲧⲛⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲁⲛ
2 for by this, the elders were well-attested.
ⲃ̅ⲛⲧⲁⲩⲣⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ϩⲁ ⲛⲉⲡⲣⲉⲥⲃⲩⲧⲉⲣⲟⲥ ϩⲛ ⲧⲁⲓ
3 By faith we understand the ages to have been prepared by a saying of God, in regard to the things seen having not come out of things appearing. (aiōn g165)
ⲅ̅ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲉⲛⲛⲟⲓ ϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲁⲩⲥⲟⲃⲧⲉ ⲛⲛⲁⲓⲱⲛ ϩⲙ ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲛⲧⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛϥϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲁⲛ (aiōn g165)
4 By faith Abel offered a better sacrifice to God than Cain, through which he was testified to be righteous, God testifying of his gifts, and through it, he being dead, yet speaks.
ⲇ̅ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲁⲁⲃⲉⲗ ⲧⲁⲗⲉϩⲟⲩⲉ ⲑⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲡⲁⲣⲁ ⲕⲁⲉⲓⲛ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓ ⲧⲟⲟⲧⲥ ⲛⲧⲁⲩⲣⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉ ϩⲁⲣⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲣⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉ ⲛⲁϥ ⲉϫⲛ ⲛⲉϥⲇⲱⲣⲟⲛ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓ ⲧⲟⲟⲧⲥ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲙⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲓ ⲟⲛ ϥϣⲁϫⲉ
5 By faith Enoch was translated—not to see death, and was not found, because God translated him; for before his translation he had been testified to—that he had pleased God well,
ⲉ̅ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲉⲛⲱⲭ ⲁⲩⲡⲟⲟⲛⲉϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲧⲙⲧⲣⲉϥⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲡⲙⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙⲡⲟⲩϩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲡⲟⲟⲛⲉϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲁⲑⲏ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲙⲡⲁⲧⲟⲩⲡⲟⲟⲛⲉϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲩⲣⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉ ϩⲁⲣⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲁϥⲣⲁⲛⲁϥ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ
6 and apart from faith it is impossible to please [Him], for it is required of him who is coming to God to believe that He exists and [that] He becomes a rewarder to those seeking Him.
ⲋ̅ⲁϫⲛ ⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲟⲩⲁⲧϭⲟⲙ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲣⲁⲛⲁϥ ϣϣⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁϯ ⲡⲉϥⲟⲩⲟⲓ ⲉⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ϫⲉ ϥϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲁⲩⲱ ϫⲉ ϥⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛⲧⲁⲓⲃⲉⲕⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲧϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲥⲱϥ
7 By faith Noah, having been divinely warned concerning the things not yet seen, having feared, prepared an ark to the salvation of his house, through which he condemned the world, and he became heir of the righteousness according to faith.
ⲍ̅ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲉⲁⲩⲧⲟⲩⲛⲟⲩⲉⲓⲁⲧϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲛⲱϩⲉ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲛⲉⲧϥⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲣ ϩⲟⲧⲉ ⲁϥⲧⲁⲙⲓⲟ ⲛⲟⲩϭⲓⲃⲱⲧⲟⲥ ⲉⲡⲉⲩϫⲁⲓ ⲙⲡⲉϥⲏⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧⲥ ⲁϥⲧϭⲁⲓⲉ ⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲛⲕⲗⲏⲣⲟⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲧⲇⲓⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥⲩⲛⲏ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ
8 By faith Abraham, being called, obeyed, to go forth into the place that he was about to receive for an inheritance, and he went forth, not knowing to where he goes.
ⲏ̅ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲉⲁⲩⲙⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲁⲃⲣⲁϩⲁⲙ ⲁϥⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲉⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲡⲙⲁ ⲉⲧϥⲛⲁϫⲓⲧϥ ⲉⲩⲕⲗⲏ ⲣⲟⲛⲟⲙⲓⲁ ⲁϥⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲛϥⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⲉϥⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ⲉⲧⲱⲛ
9 By faith he sojourned in the land of the promise as a strange country, having dwelt in dwelling places with Isaac and Jacob, fellow-heirs of the same promise,
ⲑ̅ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϩ ϩⲙ ⲡⲕⲁϩ ⲙⲡⲉⲣⲏⲧ ϩⲱⲥ ϣⲙⲙⲟ ⲉⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϩ ϩⲛ ϩⲉⲛϩⲃⲱ ⲙⲛ ⲓⲥⲁⲁⲕ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲓⲁⲕⲱⲃ ⲛϣⲃⲣⲕⲗⲏⲣⲟⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲙⲡⲓⲉⲣⲏⲧ ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ
10 for he was looking for the city having the foundations, whose craftsman and constructor [is] God.
ⲓ̅ⲛⲉϥϭⲱϣⲧ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲏⲧⲥ ⲛⲧⲡⲟⲗⲓⲥ ⲉⲧⲉⲩⲛⲧⲥ ⲥⲛⲧⲉ ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲧⲁⲓ ⲉⲡⲉⲥⲧⲉⲭⲛⲓⲧⲏⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲉⲥⲇⲏⲙⲓⲟⲩⲣⲅⲟⲥ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ
11 And by faith Sarah, herself barren, received power to conceive seed even after the time of life, seeing she judged Him who promised faithful;
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ϩⲱⲱⲥ ⲥⲁⲣⲣⲁ ⲧⲁϭⲣⲏⲛ ⲁⲥϫⲓ ⲛⲟⲩϭⲟⲙ ⲉⲩⲕⲁⲧⲁⲃⲟⲗⲏ ⲛⲥⲡⲉⲣⲙⲁ ⲡⲁⲣⲁ ⲡⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ ⲛⲧⲉⲥϭⲟⲧ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϫⲉ ⲁⲥⲧⲁⲛϩⲉⲧ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲉⲣⲏⲧ
12 for this reason, also, from one—and that of one who had become dead—were begotten as the stars of the sky in multitude, and innumerable as the sand that [is] by the seashore.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲁⲩϫⲡⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲁ ⲉⲁ ⲡⲉϥⲥⲱⲙⲁ ⲣⲡⲕⲉⲕⲁϭⲟⲙ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲛⲛⲥⲓⲟⲩ ⲛⲧⲡⲉ ϩⲛ ⲧⲉⲩⲁϣⲏ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲑⲉ ⲙⲡϣⲟ ⲉⲧϩⲁⲧⲙ ⲡⲉⲥⲡⲟⲧⲟⲩ ⲛⲑⲁⲗⲁⲥⲥⲁ ⲉⲧⲉⲙⲛⲧϥ ⲏⲡⲉ
13 All these died in faith, having not received the promises, but having seen them from afar, and having been persuaded, and having greeted [them], and having confessed that they are strangers and sojourners on the earth,
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲧⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲁⲩⲙⲟⲩ ⲛϭⲓ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲙⲡⲟⲩϫⲓ ⲛⲛⲉⲣⲏⲧ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲁⲩⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲡⲟⲩⲉ ⲁⲩⲁⲥⲡⲁⲍⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩϩⲟⲙⲟⲗⲟⲅⲉⲓ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛϩⲉⲛϣⲙⲙⲟ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲛϩⲉⲛⲣⲙⲛϭⲟⲓⲗⲉ ϩⲓϫⲙ ⲡⲕⲁϩ
14 for those saying such things make apparent that they seek a country;
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲛⲉⲧϫⲱ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲛⲁⲓ ⲛⲧⲉⲉⲓϩⲉ ⲉⲩⲟⲩⲱⲛϩ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϫⲉ ⲉⲩϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲥⲁ ⲟⲩⲡⲟⲗⲓⲥ
15 and if, indeed, they had been mindful of that from which they came forth, they might have had an opportunity to return,
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲛⲛⲉⲩⲣⲡⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲛⲧⲁⲩⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛϩⲏⲧⲥ ⲛⲉⲁⲩⲣⲧⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲕⲟⲧⲟⲩ ⲉⲣⲟⲥ
16 but now they long for better, that is, heavenly, for this reason God is not ashamed of them, to be called their God, for He prepared a city for them.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲩⲟⲩⲉϣ ⲧⲉⲧⲥⲟⲧⲡ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲁⲧⲡⲉ ⲧⲉ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϯϣⲓⲡⲉ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲩⲉⲡⲓⲕⲁⲗⲉⲓ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲛⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉϫⲱⲟⲩ ⲁϥⲥⲟⲃⲧⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲛⲟⲩⲡⲟⲗⲓⲥ
17 By faith Abraham has offered up Isaac, being tried, even the [one] having received the promises offered up his only begotten,
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲁⲃⲣⲁϩⲁⲙ ⲁϥⲧⲁⲗⲉ ⲓⲥⲁⲁⲕ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲩⲡⲉⲓⲣⲁⲍⲉ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲧⲁⲗⲉ ⲡⲉϥϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲛϭⲓ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥϣⲱⲡ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲛⲛⲉⲣⲏⲧ
18 of whom it was said, “In Isaac will your Seed be called,”

19 reckoning that God is even able to raise up out of the dead, from where also in a figurative sense he received [him].
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲉⲁϥⲙⲟⲕⲙⲉⲕ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲛϣϭⲟⲙ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲛⲟⲥϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲟⲛ ⲁϥϫⲓⲧϥ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲡⲁⲣⲁⲃⲟⲗⲏ
20 By faith, concerning coming things, Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau.

21 By faith Jacob, dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph and worshiped on the top of his staff.

22 By faith Joseph, dying, made mention concerning the outgoing of the sons of Israel, and gave command concerning his bones.
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲓⲱⲥⲏⲫ ⲉϥⲛⲁⲙⲟⲩ ⲁϥⲣⲡⲙⲉⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲛϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲙⲡⲓⲥⲣⲁⲏⲗ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥϩⲱⲛ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲛⲉϥⲕⲉⲉⲥ
23 By faith Moses, having been born, was hid three months by his parents, because they saw the child beautiful, and were not afraid of the decree of the king.
ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩϫⲡⲟ ⲙⲙⲱⲩⲥⲏⲥ ⲁⲩϩⲟⲡϥ ⲛϣⲟⲙⲛⲧ ⲛⲉⲃⲟⲧ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲛⲉϥⲉⲓⲟⲧⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϫⲉ ⲁⲩⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ϣⲏⲙ ⲉⲛⲉⲥⲱϥ ⲙⲡⲟⲩⲣ ϩⲟⲧⲉ ϩⲏⲧϥ ⲙⲡⲇⲓⲁⲧⲁⲅⲙⲁ ⲙⲡⲣⲣⲟ
24 By faith Moses, having become great, refused to be called a son of the daughter of Pharaoh,
ⲕ̅ⲇ̅ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲡⲓⲥⲧⲓⲥ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉⲙⲱⲩⲥⲏⲥ ⲣⲛⲟϭ ⲙⲡϥⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲩⲙⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲛⲧϣⲉⲉⲣⲉ ⲙⲫⲁⲣⲁⲱ
25 having chosen rather to be afflicted with the people of God, than to have sin’s pleasure for a season,
ⲕ̅ⲉ̅ⲉⲁϥⲥⲱⲧⲡ ⲛⲁϥ ⲛϩⲟⲩⲟ ⲉϣⲡϩⲓⲥⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲗⲁⲟⲥ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲉϫⲓ ⲛⲧⲁⲡⲟⲗⲁⲩⲥⲓⲥ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲡⲣⲟⲥⲟⲩⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓϣ
26 having reckoned the reproach of the Christ greater wealth than the treasures in Egypt, for he looked to the repayment of reward.

27 By faith he left Egypt behind, having not been afraid of the wrath of the king, for as seeing the Invisible One—he endured.

28 By faith he kept the Passover, and the sprinkling of the blood, so that He who is destroying the firstborn might not touch them.

29 By faith they passed through the Red Sea as through dry land, which having made an attempt [to cross], the Egyptians were swallowed up.

31 By faith Rahab the prostitute did not perish with those who disbelieved, having received the spies with peace.

32 And what yet will I say? For the time will fail me recounting about Gideon, also Barak, and Samson, and Jephthah, also David, and Samuel, and the prophets,

34 quenched the power of fire, escaped the mouth of the sword, were made powerful out of weakness, became strong in battle, caused armies of the foreigners to give way;

35 women received their dead by a resurrection, and others were tortured, not accepting the redemption, that they might receive a better resurrection,

37 they were stoned, they were sawn apart, they were tried; they died in the killing of the sword; they went around in sheepskins, in goatskins—being destitute, afflicted, injuriously treated,
ⲗ̅ⲍ̅ⲁⲩⲟⲩⲁⲥⲧⲟⲩ ⲁⲩϩⲓⲱⲛⲉ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲙⲟⲩ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩϩⲱⲧⲃ ⲛⲥⲏϥⲉ ⲁⲩⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ϩⲛ ϩⲉⲛⲃⲁⲗⲟⲧ ⲙⲛ ϩⲉⲛϣⲁⲁⲣ ⲛⲃⲁⲁⲙⲡⲉ ⲉⲩⲣϭⲣⲱϩ ⲉⲩⲑⲗⲓⲃⲉ ⲉⲩⲙⲟⲕϩ
