Hebrews 11
1 Now faith is [the] substance of things hoped for, [the] proof of matters not being seen,
vishvAsa AshaMsitAnAM nishchayaH, adR^ishyAnAM viShayANAM darshanaM bhavati|
2 for by this, the elders were well-attested.
tena vishvAsena prA ncho lokAH prAmANyaM prAptavantaH|
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)
aparam Ishvarasya vAkyena jagantyasR^ijyanta, dR^iShTavastUni cha pratyakShavastubhyo nodapadyantaitad vayaM vishvAsena budhyAmahe| (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.
vishvAsena hAbil Ishvaramuddishya kAbilaH shreShThaM balidAnaM kR^itavAn tasmAchcheshvareNa tasya dAnAnyadhi pramANe datte sa dhArmmika ityasya pramANaM labdhavAn tena vishvAsena cha sa mR^itaH san adyApi bhAShate|
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,
vishvAsena hanok yathA mR^ityuM na pashyet tathA lokAntaraM nItaH, tasyoddeshashcha kenApi na prApi yata IshvarastaM lokAntaraM nItavAn, tatpramANamidaM tasya lokAntarIkaraNAt pUrvvaM sa IshvarAya rochitavAn iti pramANaM prAptavAn|
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.
kintu vishvAsaM vinA ko. apIshvarAya rochituM na shaknoti yata Ishvaro. asti svAnveShilokebhyaH puraskAraM dadAti chetikathAyAm IshvarasharaNAgatai rvishvasitavyaM|
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.
aparaM tadAnIM yAnyadR^ishyAnyAsan tAnIshvareNAdiShTaH san noho vishvAsena bhItvA svaparijanAnAM rakShArthaM potaM nirmmitavAn tena cha jagajjanAnAM doShAn darshitavAn vishvAsAt labhyasya puNyasyAdhikArI babhUva cha|
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.
vishvAsenebrAhIm AhUtaH san Aj nAM gR^ihItvA yasya sthAnasyAdhikArastena prAptavyastat sthAnaM prasthitavAn kintu prasthAnasamaye kka yAmIti nAjAnAt|
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,
vishvAsena sa pratij nAte deshe paradeshavat pravasan tasyAH pratij nAyAH samAnAMshibhyAm ishAkA yAkUbA cha saha dUShyavAsyabhavat|
10 for he was looking for the city having the foundations, whose craftsman and constructor [is] God.
yasmAt sa IshvareNa nirmmitaM sthApita ncha bhittimUlayuktaM nagaraM pratyaikShata|
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;
apara ncha vishvAsena sArA vayotikrAntA santyapi garbhadhAraNAya shaktiM prApya putravatyabhavat, yataH sA pratij nAkAriNaM vishvAsyam amanyata|
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.
tato heto rmR^itakalpAd ekasmAt janAd AkAshIyanakShatrANIva gaNanAtItAH samudratIrasthasikatA iva chAsaMkhyA lokA utpedire|
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,
ete sarvve pratij nAyAH phalAnyaprApya kevalaM dUrAt tAni nirIkShya vanditvA cha, pR^ithivyAM vayaM videshinaH pravAsinashchAsmaha iti svIkR^itya vishvAsena prANAn tatyajuH|
14 for those saying such things make apparent that they seek a country;
ye tu janA itthaM kathayanti taiH paitR^ikadesho. asmAbhiranviShyata iti prakAshyate|
15 and if, indeed, they had been mindful of that from which they came forth, they might have had an opportunity to return,
te yasmAd deshAt nirgatAstaM yadyasmariShyan tarhi parAvarttanAya samayam alapsyanta|
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.
kintu te sarvvotkR^iShTam arthataH svargIyaM desham AkA NkShanti tasmAd IshvarastAnadhi na lajjamAnasteShAm Ishvara iti nAma gR^ihItavAn yataH sa teShAM kR^ite nagaramekaM saMsthApitavAn|
17 By faith Abraham has offered up Isaac, being tried, even the [one] having received the promises offered up his only begotten,
aparam ibrAhImaH parIkShAyAM jAtAyAM sa vishvAseneshAkam utsasarja,
18 of whom it was said, “In Isaac will your Seed be called,”
vastuta ishAki tava vaMsho vikhyAsyata iti vAg yamadhi kathitA tam advitIyaM putraM pratij nAprAptaH sa utsasarja|
19 reckoning that God is even able to raise up out of the dead, from where also in a figurative sense he received [him].
yata Ishvaro mR^itAnapyutthApayituM shaknotIti sa mene tasmAt sa upamArUpaM taM lebhe|
20 By faith, concerning coming things, Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau.
aparam ishAk vishvAsena yAkUb eShAve cha bhAviviShayAnadhyAshiShaM dadau|
21 By faith Jacob, dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph and worshiped on the top of his staff.
aparaM yAkUb maraNakAle vishvAsena yUShaphaH putrayorekaikasmai janAyAshiShaM dadau yaShTyA agrabhAge samAlambya praNanAma cha|
22 By faith Joseph, dying, made mention concerning the outgoing of the sons of Israel, and gave command concerning his bones.
aparaM yUShaph charamakAle vishvAsenesrAyelvaMshIyAnAM misaradeshAd bahirgamanasya vAchaM jagAda nijAsthIni chAdhi samAdidesha|
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.
navajAto mUsAshcha vishvAsAt trAn mAsAn svapitR^ibhyAm agopyata yatastau svashishuM paramasundaraM dR^iShTavantau rAjAj nA ncha na sha Nkitavantau|
24 By faith Moses, having become great, refused to be called a son of the daughter of Pharaoh,
aparaM vayaHprApto mUsA vishvAsAt phirauNo dauhitra iti nAma nA NgIchakAra|
25 having chosen rather to be afflicted with the people of God, than to have sin’s pleasure for a season,
yataH sa kShaNikAt pApajasukhabhogAd Ishvarasya prajAbhiH sArddhaM duHkhabhogaM vavre|
26 having reckoned the reproach of the Christ greater wealth than the treasures in Egypt, for he looked to the repayment of reward.
tathA misaradeshIyanidhibhyaH khrIShTanimittAM nindAM mahatIM sampattiM mene yato hetoH sa puraskAradAnam apaikShata|
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.
aparaM sa vishvAsena rAj naH krodhAt na bhItvA misaradeshaM paritatyAja, yatastenAdR^ishyaM vIkShamANeneva dhairyyam Alambi|
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.
aparaM prathamajAtAnAM hantA yat svIyalokAn na spR^ishet tadarthaM sa vishvAsena nistAraparvvIyabalichChedanaM rudhirasechana nchAnuShThitAvAn|
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.
aparaM te vishvAsAt sthaleneva sUphsAgareNa jagmuH kintu misrIyalokAstat karttum upakramya toyeShu mamajjuH|
30 By faith the walls of Jericho fell, having been surrounded for seven days.
apara ncha vishvAsAt taiH saptAhaM yAvad yirIhoH prAchIrasya pradakShiNe kR^ite tat nipapAta|
31 By faith Rahab the prostitute did not perish with those who disbelieved, having received the spies with peace.
vishvAsAd rAhabnAmikA veshyApi prItyA chArAn anugR^ihyAvishvAsibhiH sArddhaM na vinanAsha|
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,
adhikaM kiM kathayiShyAmi? gidiyono bArakaH shimshono yiptaho dAyUd shimUyelo bhaviShyadvAdinashchaiteShAM vR^ittAntakathanAya mama samayAbhAvo bhaviShyati|
33 who through faith subdued kingdoms, worked righteousness, obtained promises, stopped mouths of lions,
vishvAsAt te rAjyAni vashIkR^itavanto dharmmakarmmANi sAdhitavantaH pratij nAnAM phalaM labdhavantaH siMhAnAM mukhAni ruddhavanto
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;
vahnerdAhaM nirvvApitavantaH kha NgadhArAd rakShAM prAptavanto daurbbalye sabalIkR^itA yuddhe parAkramiNo jAtAH pareShAM sainyAni davayitavantashcha|
35 women received their dead by a resurrection, and others were tortured, not accepting the redemption, that they might receive a better resurrection,
yoShitaH punarutthAnena mR^itAn AtmajAn lebhire, apare cha shreShThotthAnasya prApterAshayA rakShAm agR^ihItvA tADanena mR^itavantaH|
36 and others received trial of mockings and scourgings, and yet of bonds and imprisonment;
apare tiraskAraiH kashAbhi rbandhanaiH kArayA cha parIkShitAH|
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,
bahavashcha prastarAghAtai rhatAH karapatrai rvA vidIrNA yantrai rvA kliShTAH kha NgadhArai rvA vyApAditAH| te meShANAM ChAgAnAM vA charmmANi paridhAya dInAH pIDitA duHkhArttAshchAbhrAmyan|
38 of whom the world was not worthy; wandering in deserts, and mountains, and caves, and the holes of the earth;
saMsAro yeShAm ayogyaste nirjanasthAneShu parvvateShu gahvareShu pR^ithivyAshChidreShu cha paryyaTan|
39 and all these, having been testified to through faith, did not receive the promise,
etaiH sarvvai rvishvAsAt pramANaM prApi kintu pratij nAyAH phalaM na prApi|
40 God, having provided something better for us, that apart from us they might not be made perfect.
yataste yathAsmAn vinA siddhA na bhaveyustathaiveshvareNAsmAkaM kR^ite shreShThataraM kimapi nirdidishe|
