Hebrews 11
1 Now faith is being confident of what we hope for, convinced about things we do not see.
| أَمَّا الإِيمَانُ، فَهُوَ الثِّقَةُ بِمَا نَرْجُوهُ، وَالاقْتِنَاعُ بِأَنَّ مَا لَا نَرَاهُ مَوْجُودٌ حَقّاً. | ١ |
2 For by this, the people of old were attested.
| بِهَذَا الإِيمَانِ، كَسَبَ رِجَالُ اللهِ قَدِيماً شَهَادَةً حَسَنَةً أَمَامَ اللهِ وَالنَّاسِ. | ٢ |
3 By faith, we understand that the ages were prepared by the word of God, so that what is seen has not been made out of things which are visible. (aiōn g165)
| وَعَنْ طَرِيقِ الإِيمَانِ، نُدْرِكُ أَنَّ الْكَوْنَ كُلَّهُ قَدْ خَرَجَ إِلَى الْوُجُودِ بِكَلِمَةِ أَمْرٍ مِنَ اللهِ. حَتَّى إِنَّ عَالَمَنَا الْمَنْظُورَ، قَدْ تَكَوَّنَ مِنْ أُمُورٍ غَيْرِ مَنْظُورَةٍ! (aiōn g165) | ٣ |
4 By faith, Habeil offered to God a better sacrifice than Qayen, through which he was attested as righteous, God testifying with respect to his gifts; and though he died he still speaks through it.
| بِالإِيمَانِ، قَدَّمَ هَابِيلُ لِلهِ ذَبِيحَةً أَفْضَلَ مِنْ تِلْكَ الَّتِي قَدَّمَهَا قَايِينُ. وَعَلَى ذَلِكَ الأَسَاسِ، شَهِدَ اللهُ بِأَنَّ هَابِيلَ بَارٌّ، إِذْ قَبِلَ التَّقْدِمَةَ الَّتِي قَدَّمَهَا لَهُ. وَمَعَ أَنَّ هَابِيلَ مَاتَ قَتْلاً، فَإِنَّهُ مَازَالَ الآنَ يُلَقِّنُنَا الْعِبَرَ بِإِيمَانِهِ. | ٤ |
5 By faith, Khenuk was taken away, so that he would not see death, "and he was not found, because God took him away." For before he was taken he was attested as having pleased God.
| وَبِالإِيمَانِ، انْتَقَلَ أَخْنُوخُ إِلَى حَضْرَةِ اللهِ دُونَ أَنْ يَمُوتَ. وَقَدِ اخْتَفَى مِنْ عَلَى هَذِهِ الأَرْضِ لأَنَّ اللهَ أَخَذَهُ إِلَيْهِ. وَقَبْلَ حُدُوثِ ذلِكَ، شُهِدَ لَهُ بِأَنَّهُ قَدْ أَرْضَى اللهَ. | ٥ |
6 Now without faith it is impossible to be well pleasing to him, for he who comes to God must believe that he exists, and that he is a rewarder of those who seek him.
| فَمِنَ الْمُسْتَحِيلِ إِرْضَاءَ اللهِ بِدُونِ إِيمَانٍ. إِذْ إِنَّ مَنْ يَتَقَرَّبُ إِلَى اللهِ، لابُدَّ لَهُ أَنْ يُؤْمِنَ بِأَنَّهُ مَوْجُودٌ، وَبِأَنَّهُ يُكَافِئُ الَّذِينَ يَسْعَوْنَ إِلَيْهِ. | ٦ |
7 By faith, Nukh, being warned about things not yet seen, in reverence prepared a box-shaped ship for the salvation of his household, through which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith.
| وَبِالإِيمَانِ نُوحٌ، لَمَّا أَنْذَرَهُ اللهُ عَنْ طَرِيقِ الْوَحْيِ بِالطُّوفَانِ الآتِي، دَفَعَهُ خَوْفُ اللهِ إِلَى بِنَاءِ سَفِينَةٍ ضَخْمَةٍ كَانَتْ وَسِيلَةَ النَّجَاةِ لَهُ وَلِعَائِلَتِهِ، مَعَ أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ قَدْ رَأَى طُوفَاناً مِنْ قَبْلُ. وَبِعَمَلِهِ هَذَا، حَكَمَ عَلَى الْعَالَمِ وَأَصْبَحَ وَارِثاً لِلْبِرِّ الْقَائِمِ عَلَى أَسَاسِ الإِيمَانِ. | ٧ |
8 By faith, Avraham, when he was called, obeyed to go out to a place which he was to receive for an inheritance. He went out, not knowing where he was going.
| وَبِالإِيمَانِ، لَبَّى إِبْرَاهِيمُ دَعْوَةَ اللهِ، فَتَرَكَ وَطَنَهُ وَانْطَلَقَ إِلَى أَرْضٍ أُخْرَى وَعَدَهُ اللهُ بِأَنْ يُوَرِّثَهُ إِيَّاهَا. وَلَمَّا خَرَجَ مِنْ بَيْتِهِ، لَمْ يَكُنْ يَعْرِفُ أَيْنَ يَتَوَجَّهُ. | ٨ |
9 By faith, he sojourned in a land of promise, as a foreigner, living in tents with Iskhaq and Yaquv, the heirs with him of the same promise.
| وَبِالإِيمَانِ، كَانَ يَرْحَلُ كَالْغَرِيبِ مِنْ مَكَانٍ إِلَى آخَرَ فِي الأَرْضِ الَّتِي وَعَدَهُ اللهُ بِها، وَكَأَنَّهَا أَرْضٌ غَرِيبَةٌ. وَكَانَ يَسْكُنُ فِي الْخِيَامِ مَعَ إِسْحَاقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ، شَرِيكَيْهِ فِي إِرْثِ الْوَعْدِ عَيْنِهِ. | ٩ |
10 For he looked for the city which has foundations, whose architect and builder is God.
| فَإِنَّهُ كَانَ يَنْتَظِرُ الانْتِقَالَ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ السَّمَاوِيَّةِ ذَاتِ الأُسُسِ الثَّابِتَةِ، الَّتِي صَانِعُهَا وَبَانِيهَا هُوَ اللهُ. | ١٠ |
11 By faith, even barren Sarah herself received power to conceive when she was past age, and gave birth, since she considered him faithful who had promised.
| وَبِالإِيمَانِ أَيْضاً، نَالَتْ سَارَةُ زَوْجَةُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قُدْرَةً عَلَى الإِنْجَابِ، فَوَلَدَتِ ابْناً مَعَ أَنَّهَا كَانَتْ قَدْ جَاوَزَتْ سِنَّ الْحَمْلِ. وَذَلِكَ لأَنَّهَا آمَنَتْ بِأَنَّ اللهَ، الَّذِي وَعَدَهَا بِذَلِكَ، لابُدَّ أَنْ يُحَقِّقَ وَعْدَهُ. | ١١ |
12 Therefore as many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as innumerable as the sand which is by the sea shore, were fathered by one man, and him as good as dead.
| وَهكَذَا وُلِدَ مِنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، وَقَدْ كَانَ مَيِّتاً مِنْ حَيْثُ الْقُدْرَةِ عَلَى الإِنْجَابِ، شَعْبٌ كَبِيرٌ «كَنُجُومِ الْفَضَاءِ عَدَداً، وَكَالرَّمْلِ الَّذِي عَلَى شَطِّ الْبَحْرِ، لَا يُحْصَى». | ١٢ |
13 These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them and embraced them from afar, and having acknowledged that they were foreigners and temporary residents on the earth.
| هَؤُلاءِ جَمِيعاً، حَافَظُوا عَلَى إِيمَانِهِمْ إِلَى النِّهَايَةِ. وَمَاتُوا قَبْلَ أَنْ تَتَحَقَّقَ وُعُودُ اللهِ لَهُمْ فِي أَثْنَاءِ حَيَاتِهِمْ. وَلَكِنَّهُمْ رَأَوْهَا مِنْ بَعِيدٍ، وَتَوَقَّعُوا تَحْقِيقَهَا كَامِلَةً فِي الْمُسْتَقْبَلِ. وَإِذْ آمَنُوا بِتِلْكَ الْوُعُودِ الإِلَهِيَّةِ اعْتَرَفُوا بِأَنَّهُمْ لَيْسُوا إِلّا غُرَبَاءَ عَلَى الأَرْضِ يَزُورُونَهَا زِيَارَةً عَابِرَةً. | ١٣ |
14 For those who say such things make it clear that they are seeking a country of their own.
| وَالَّذِينَ يَقُولُونَ ذَلِك، يُوْضِحُونَ أَنَّ عُيُونَهُمْ عَلَى وَطَنِهِمِ الْحَقِيقِيِّ. | ١٤ |
15 If indeed they had been thinking of that country from which they went out, they would have had enough time to return.
| وَلَوْ تَذَكَّرُوا الْوَطَنَ الأَرْضِيَّ الَّذِي هَجَرُوهُ، لاغْتَنَمُوا الْفُرْصَةَ وَعَادُوا إِلَيْهِ. | ١٥ |
16 Instead, they were longing for a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed of them, to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them.
| وَلَكِنْ، لا، فَهُمُ الآنَ يَتَطَلَّعُونَ إِلَى وَطَنٍ أَفْضَلَ، أَيِ الْوَطَنِ السَّمَاوِيِّ. بِسَبَبِ إِيمَانِهِمْ هَذَا لَا يَسْتَحِي اللهُ أَنْ يُدْعَى إِلَهَهُمْ، فَهُوَ قَدْ أَعَدَّ لَهُمْ مَدِينَةً! | ١٦ |
17 By faith, Avraham, being tested, offered up Iskhaq; and he who had gladly received the promises was offering up his one and only son;
| وَبِالإِيمَانِ، إِبْرَاهِيمُ أَيْضاً، لَمَّا امْتَحَنَهُ اللهُ، قَدَّمَ إِسْحَاقَ ابْنَهُ. فَإِنَّهُ، إِذْ قَبِلَ وُعُودَ اللهِ، قَدَّمَ ابْنَهُ الْوَحِيدَ ذَبِيحَةً، | ١٧ |
18 even he to whom it was said, "In Iskhaq will your descendants be called;"
| مَعَ أَنَّ اللهَ قَالَ لَهُ: «بِإِسْحَاقَ سَوْفَ يَكُونُ لَكَ نَسْلٌ يَحْمِلُ اسْمَكَ!» | ١٨ |
19 concluding that God is able to raise up even from the dead. Figuratively speaking, he also did receive him back from the dead.
| فَقَدْ آمَنَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ بِأَنَّ اللهَ قَادِرٌ عَلَى إِقَامَةِ إِسْحَاقَ مِنَ الْمَوْتِ. وَالْوَاقِعُ أَنَّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ اسْتَعَادَ ابْنَهُ مِنَ الْمَوْتِ، عَلَى سَبِيلِ الْمِثَالِ أَوِ الرَّمْزِ. | ١٩ |
20 By faith, Iskhaq blessed Yaquv and Isuw, even concerning things to come.
| بِالإِيمَانِ، بَارَكَ إِسْحَاقُ يَعْقُوبَ وَعِيسُو. | ٢٠ |
21 By faith, Yaquv, when he was dying, blessed each of the sons of Yauseph, and bowed over the top of his staff.
| وَبِالإِيمَانِ، بَارَكَ يَعْقُوبُ، قُبَيْلَ مَوْتِهِ، كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ مِنِ ابْنَيْ يُوسُفَ، وَسَجَدَ مُتَوَكِّئاً عَلَى رَأْسِ عَصَاهُ. | ٢١ |
22 By faith, Yauseph, when his end was near, made mention of the departure of the people of Israyel; and gave instructions concerning his bones.
| وَبِالإِيمَانِ، اسْتَنَدَ يُوسُفُ عَلَى وَعْدِ اللهِ بِإِخْرَاجِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ بِلادِ مِصْرَ، فَتَرَكَ وَصِيَّةً بِأَنْ يَنْقُلُوا رُفَاتَهُ مَعَهُمْ. | ٢٢ |
23 By faith, Mushe, when he was born, was hidden for three months by his parents, because they saw that he was a beautiful child, and they were not afraid of the king's commandment.
| بِالإِيمَانِ مُوسَى خَبَّأهُ وَالِدَاهُ حَتَّى صَارَ عُمْرُهُ ثَلاثَةَ أَشْهُرٍ، لأَنَّهُمَا رَأَيَاهُ طِفْلاً جَمِيلاً، وَلَمْ يَخَافَا الْمَرْسُومَ الَّذِي أَصْدَرَهُ الْمَلِكُ. | ٢٣ |
24 By faith, Mushe, when he had grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter,
| وَبِالإِيمَانِ، مُوسَى نَفْسُهُ، لَمَّا كَبُرَ، رَفَضَ أَنْ يُدْعَى ابْناً لاِبْنَةِ فِرْعَوْنَ. | ٢٤ |
25 choosing rather to share ill treatment with God's people, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a time;
| بَلِ اخْتَارَ أَنْ يتَحَمَّلَ الْمَذَلَّةَ مَعَ شَعْبِ اللهِ، بَدَلاً مِنَ التَّمَتُّعِ الْوَقْتِيِّ بِلَذَّاتِ الْخَطِيئَةِ. | ٢٥ |
26 considering the abuse suffered for the Meshikha greater riches than the treasures of Egypt; for he looked to the reward.
| فَقَدِ اعْتَبَرَ أَنَّ عَارَ الْمَسِيحِ، هُوَ ثَرْوَةٌ أَعْظَمُ مِنْ كُنُوزِ مِصْرَ، لأَنَّهُ كَانَ يَتَطَلَّعُ إِلَى الْمُكَافَأَةِ. | ٢٦ |
27 By faith, he left Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.
| بِالإِيمَانِ، تَرَكَ أَرْضَ مِصْرَ وَهُوَ غَيْرُ خَائِفٍ مِنْ غَضَبِ الْمَلِكِ. فَقَدْ مَضَى فِي تَنْفِيذِ قَرَارِهِ، كَأَنَّهُ يَرَى بِجَانِبِهِ اللهَ غَيْرَ الْمَنْظُورِ. | ٢٧ |
28 By faith, he kept the Passover, and the sprinkling of the blood, that the destroyer of the firstborn should not touch them.
| وَبِالإِيمَانِ، أَقَامَ الْفِصْحَ وَرَشَّ الدَّمَ، لِكَيْ لَا يَمَسَّ مُهْلِكُ الأَبْكَارِ أَحَداً مِنْ أَبْنَاءِ شَعْبِهِ. | ٢٨ |
29 By faith, they passed through the Red Sea as on dry land. When the Egyptians tried to do so, they were swallowed up.
| بِالإِيمَانِ اجْتَازَ الشَّعْبُ فِي الْبَحْرِ الأَحْمَرِ كَأَنَّهُ أَرْضٌ يَابِسَةٌ. أَمَّا الْمِصْرِيُّونَ، فَإِذْ حَاوَلُوا ذَلِكَ غَرِقُوا! | ٢٩ |
30 By faith, the walls of Irikhu fell down, after they had been encircled for seven days.
| بِالإِيمَانِ انْهَارَتْ أَسْوَارُ مَدِينَةِ أَرِيحَا، بَعْدَمَا دَارَ الشَّعْبُ حَوْلَهَا لِمُدَّةِ سَبْعَةِ أَيَّامٍ. | ٣٠ |
31 By faith, Rakhav the prostitute did not perish with those who were disobedient, having received the spies in peace.
| وَجَزَاءً لِلإِيمَانِ، نَجَتْ رَاحَابُ الزَّانِيَةُ مِنَ الْمَوْتِ الْمُحَتَّمِ مَعَ الْمُتَمَرِّدِينَ، بَعْدَمَا اسْتَقْبَلَتِ الْجَاسُوسَيْنِ بِسَلامٍ. | ٣١ |
32 What more shall I say? For the time would fail me if I told of Gedeun, Baraq, Shemshun, Naphtakh, Dawid, Shemuyel, and the prophets;
| وَهَلْ مِنْ حَاجَةٍ بَعْدُ لِمَزِيدٍ مِنَ الأَمْثِلَةِ؟ إِنَّ الْوَقْتَ لَا يَتَّسِعُ لِي حَتَّى أَسْرُدَ أَخْبَارَ الإِيمَانِ عَنْ: جِدْعُونَ وَبَارَاقَ وَشَمْشُونَ وَيَفْتَاحَ وَدَاوُدَ وَصَمُوئِيلَ وَالأَنْبِيَاءِ. | ٣٢ |
33 who, through faith subdued kingdoms, worked out righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,
| فَبِالإِيمَانِ، تَغَلَّبَ هؤُلاءِ عَلَى مَمَالِكِ الأَعْدَاءِ، وَحَكَمُوا حُكْماً عَادِلاً وَنَالُوا مَا وَعَدَهُمْ بِهِ اللهُ. وَبِهِ، سَدُّوا أَفْوَاهَ الأُسُودِ، | ٣٣ |
34 quenched the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, from weakness were made strong, grew mighty in war, and caused foreign armies to flee.
| وَأَبْطَلُوا قُوَّةَ النَّارِ، وَنَجَوْا مِنَ الْمَوْتِ قَتْلاً بِالسَّيْفِ. وَبِهِ أَيْضاً نَالُوا القُوَّةَ بَعْدَ ضَعْفٍ، فَصَارُوا أَشِدَّاءَ فِي الْمَعَارِكِ، وَرَدُّوا جُيُوشاً غَرِيبَةً عَلَى أَعْقَابِهَا. | ٣٤ |
35 Women received their dead by resurrection. And others were tortured, not accepting the payment for release, that they might obtain a better resurrection.
| وَبِالإِيمَانِ، اسْتَرْجَعَتْ بَعْضُ النِّسَاءِ أَمْوَاتَهُنَّ بَعْدَمَا أُعِيدُوا إِلَى الْحَيَاةِ. وَبِهِ، تَحَمَّلَ كَثِيرُونَ الْعَذَابَ وَالضَّرْبَ، وَمَاتُوا رَافِضِينَ النَّجَاةَ، لِعِلْمِهِمْ أَنَّهُمْ سَوْفَ يَقُومُونَ إِلَى حَيَاةٍ أَفْضَلَ. | ٣٥ |
36 Others were tried by mocking and scourging, yes, moreover by bonds and imprisonment.
| وَكَثِيرُونَ غَيْرُهُمْ تَحَمَّلُوا الْمُحَاكَمَاتِ الظَّالِمَةَ تَحْتَ الإِهَانَةِ وَالْجَلْدِ، وَالإِلْقَاءَ فِي السُّجُونِ مُقَيَّدِينَ بِالسَّلاسِلِ. | ٣٦ |
37 They were stoned, they were sawed apart, they were put to the test, they were killed with the sword. They went around in sheepskins and in goatskins, being destitute, afflicted, mistreated
| وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ حُوكِمُوا فَمَاتُوا رَجْماً بِالْحِجَارَةِ، أَوْ نَشْراً بِالْمِنْشَارِ، أَوْ ذَبْحاً بِالسَّيْفِ. وَبَعْضُهُمْ، تَشَرَّدُوا مُتَسَتِّرِينَ بِجُلُودِ الْغَنَمِ وَالْمِعْزَى، يُعَانُونَ مِنَ الْحَاجَةِ وَالضِّيقِ وَالظُّلْمِ، | ٣٧ |
38 (of whom the world was not worthy), wandering in deserts, mountains, caves, and the holes of the earth.
| وَلَمْ يَكُنِ الْعَالَمُ يَسْتَحِقُّهُمْ، تَائِهِينَ فِي الْبَرَارِي وَالْجِبَالِ وَالْمَغَاوِرِ وَالْكُهُوفِ. | ٣٨ |
39 These all, having had testimony given to them through their faith, did not receive the promise,
| إِنَّ هؤُلاءِ لَمْ يَحْصُلُوا جَمِيعاً عَلَى تَحْقِيقِ كُلِّ مَا وَعَدَهُمُ اللهُ بِهِ، مَعَ أَنَّهُمْ حَاصِلُونَ عَلَى شَهَادَةٍ حَسَنَةٍ مِنْ جِهَةِ الإِيمَانِ. | ٣٩ |
40 God having provided some better thing concerning us, so that apart from us they should not be made perfect.
| وَلَكِنَّ اللهَ سَبَقَ فَأَعَدَّ لَنَا مَا هُوَ أَفْضَلُ، وَذَلِكَ حَتَّى لَا يُكَمَّلُوا بِمَعْزِلٍ عَنَّا. | ٤٠ |
