Hebrews 11
1 Now faith is being confident of what we hope for, convinced about things we do not see.
viśvāsa āśaṁsitānāṁ niścayaḥ, adṛśyānāṁ viṣayāṇāṁ darśanaṁ bhavati|
2 For by this, the people of old were attested.
tena viśvāsena prāñco lokāḥ prāmāṇyaṁ prāptavantaḥ|
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)
aparam īśvarasya vākyena jagantyasṛjyanta, dṛṣṭavastūni ca pratyakṣavastubhyo nodapadyantaitad vayaṁ viśvāsena budhyāmahe| (aiōn g165)
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.
viśvāsena hābil īśvaramuddiśya kābilaḥ śreṣṭhaṁ balidānaṁ kṛtavān tasmācceśvareṇa tasya dānānyadhi pramāṇe datte sa dhārmmika ityasya pramāṇaṁ labdhavān tena viśvāsena ca sa mṛtaḥ san adyāpi bhāṣate|
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.
viśvāsena hanok yathā mṛtyuṁ na paśyet tathā lokāntaraṁ nītaḥ, tasyoddeśaśca kenāpi na prāpi yata īśvarastaṁ lokāntaraṁ nītavān, tatpramāṇamidaṁ tasya lokāntarīkaraṇāt pūrvvaṁ sa īśvarāya rocitavān iti pramāṇaṁ prāptavān|
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.
kintu viśvāsaṁ vinā ko'pīśvarāya rocituṁ na śaknoti yata īśvaro'sti svānveṣilokebhyaḥ puraskāraṁ dadāti cetikathāyām īśvaraśaraṇāgatai rviśvasitavyaṁ|
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.
aparaṁ tadānīṁ yānyadṛśyānyāsan tānīśvareṇādiṣṭaḥ san noho viśvāsena bhītvā svaparijanānāṁ rakṣārthaṁ potaṁ nirmmitavān tena ca jagajjanānāṁ doṣān darśitavān viśvāsāt labhyasya puṇyasyādhikārī babhūva ca|
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.
viśvāsenebrāhīm āhūtaḥ san ājñāṁ gṛhītvā yasya sthānasyādhikārastena prāptavyastat sthānaṁ prasthitavān kintu prasthānasamaye kka yāmīti nājānāt|
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.
viśvāsena sa pratijñāte deśe paradeśavat pravasan tasyāḥ pratijñāyāḥ samānāṁśibhyām ishākā yākūbā ca saha dūṣyavāsyabhavat|
10 For he looked for the city which has foundations, whose architect and builder is God.
yasmāt sa īśvareṇa nirmmitaṁ sthāpitañca bhittimūlayuktaṁ nagaraṁ pratyaikṣata|
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.
aparañca viśvāsena sārā vayotikrāntā santyapi garbhadhāraṇāya śaktiṁ prāpya putravatyabhavat, yataḥ sā pratijñākāriṇaṁ viśvāsyam amanyata|
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.
tato heto rmṛtakalpād ekasmāt janād ākāśīyanakṣatrāṇīva gaṇanātītāḥ samudratīrasthasikatā iva cāsaṁkhyā lokā utpedire|
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.
ete sarvve pratijñāyāḥ phalānyaprāpya kevalaṁ dūrāt tāni nirīkṣya vanditvā ca, pṛthivyāṁ vayaṁ videśinaḥ pravāsinaścāsmaha iti svīkṛtya viśvāsena prāṇān tatyajuḥ|
14 For those who say such things make it clear that they are seeking a country of their own.
ye tu janā itthaṁ kathayanti taiḥ paitṛkadeśo 'smābhiranviṣyata iti prakāśyate|
15 If indeed they had been thinking of that country from which they went out, they would have had enough time to return.
te yasmād deśāt nirgatāstaṁ yadyasmariṣyan tarhi parāvarttanāya samayam alapsyanta|
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.
kintu te sarvvotkṛṣṭam arthataḥ svargīyaṁ deśam ākāṅkṣanti tasmād īśvarastānadhi na lajjamānasteṣām īśvara iti nāma gṛhītavān yataḥ sa teṣāṁ kṛte nagaramekaṁ saṁsthāpitavān|
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;
aparam ibrāhīmaḥ parīkṣāyāṁ jātāyāṁ sa viśvāseneshākam utsasarja,
18 even he to whom it was said, "In Iskhaq will your descendants be called;"
vastuta ishāki tava vaṁśo vikhyāsyata iti vāg yamadhi kathitā tam advitīyaṁ putraṁ pratijñāprāptaḥ sa utsasarja|
19 concluding that God is able to raise up even from the dead. Figuratively speaking, he also did receive him back from the dead.
yata īśvaro mṛtānapyutthāpayituṁ śaknotīti sa mene tasmāt sa upamārūpaṁ taṁ lebhe|
20 By faith, Iskhaq blessed Yaquv and Isuw, even concerning things to come.
aparam ishāk viśvāsena yākūb eṣāve ca bhāviviṣayānadhyāśiṣaṁ dadau|
21 By faith, Yaquv, when he was dying, blessed each of the sons of Yauseph, and bowed over the top of his staff.
aparaṁ yākūb maraṇakāle viśvāsena yūṣaphaḥ putrayorekaikasmai janāyāśiṣaṁ dadau yaṣṭyā agrabhāge samālambya praṇanāma ca|
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.
aparaṁ yūṣaph caramakāle viśvāsenesrāyelvaṁśīyānāṁ misaradeśād bahirgamanasya vācaṁ jagāda nijāsthīni cādhi samādideśa|
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.
navajāto mūsāśca viśvāsāt trān māsān svapitṛbhyām agopyata yatastau svaśiśuṁ paramasundaraṁ dṛṣṭavantau rājājñāñca na śaṅkitavantau|
24 By faith, Mushe, when he had grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter,
aparaṁ vayaḥprāpto mūsā viśvāsāt phirauṇo dauhitra iti nāma nāṅgīcakāra|
25 choosing rather to share ill treatment with God's people, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a time;
yataḥ sa kṣaṇikāt pāpajasukhabhogād īśvarasya prajābhiḥ sārddhaṁ duḥkhabhogaṁ vavre|
26 considering the abuse suffered for the Meshikha greater riches than the treasures of Egypt; for he looked to the reward.
tathā misaradeśīyanidhibhyaḥ khrīṣṭanimittāṁ nindāṁ mahatīṁ sampattiṁ mene yato hetoḥ sa puraskāradānam apaikṣata|
27 By faith, he left Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.
aparaṁ sa viśvāsena rājñaḥ krodhāt na bhītvā misaradeśaṁ paritatyāja, yatastenādṛśyaṁ vīkṣamāṇeneva dhairyyam ālambi|
28 By faith, he kept the Passover, and the sprinkling of the blood, that the destroyer of the firstborn should not touch them.
aparaṁ prathamajātānāṁ hantā yat svīyalokān na spṛśet tadarthaṁ sa viśvāsena nistāraparvvīyabalicchedanaṁ rudhirasecanañcānuṣṭhitāvān|
29 By faith, they passed through the Red Sea as on dry land. When the Egyptians tried to do so, they were swallowed up.
aparaṁ te viśvāsāt sthaleneva sūphsāgareṇa jagmuḥ kintu misrīyalokāstat karttum upakramya toyeṣu mamajjuḥ|
30 By faith, the walls of Irikhu fell down, after they had been encircled for seven days.
aparañca viśvāsāt taiḥ saptāhaṁ yāvad yirīhoḥ prācīrasya pradakṣiṇe kṛte tat nipapāta|
31 By faith, Rakhav the prostitute did not perish with those who were disobedient, having received the spies in peace.
viśvāsād rāhabnāmikā veśyāpi prītyā cārān anugṛhyāviśvāsibhiḥ sārddhaṁ na vinanāśa|
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;
adhikaṁ kiṁ kathayiṣyāmi? gidiyono bārakaḥ śimśono yiptaho dāyūd śimūyelo bhaviṣyadvādinaścaiteṣāṁ vṛttāntakathanāya mama samayābhāvo bhaviṣyati|
33 who, through faith subdued kingdoms, worked out righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,
viśvāsāt te rājyāni vaśīkṛtavanto dharmmakarmmāṇi sādhitavantaḥ pratijñānāṁ phalaṁ labdhavantaḥ siṁhānāṁ mukhāni ruddhavanto
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.
vahnerdāhaṁ nirvvāpitavantaḥ khaṅgadhārād rakṣāṁ prāptavanto daurbbalye sabalīkṛtā yuddhe parākramiṇo jātāḥ pareṣāṁ sainyāni davayitavantaśca|
35 Women received their dead by resurrection. And others were tortured, not accepting the payment for release, that they might obtain a better resurrection.
yoṣitaḥ punarutthānena mṛtān ātmajān lebhire, apare ca śreṣṭhotthānasya prāpterāśayā rakṣām agṛhītvā tāḍanena mṛtavantaḥ|
36 Others were tried by mocking and scourging, yes, moreover by bonds and imprisonment.
apare tiraskāraiḥ kaśābhi rbandhanaiḥ kārayā ca parīkṣitāḥ|
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
bahavaśca prastarāghātai rhatāḥ karapatrai rvā vidīrṇā yantrai rvā kliṣṭāḥ khaṅgadhārai rvā vyāpāditāḥ| te meṣāṇāṁ chāgānāṁ vā carmmāṇi paridhāya dīnāḥ pīḍitā duḥkhārttāścābhrāmyan|
38 (of whom the world was not worthy), wandering in deserts, mountains, caves, and the holes of the earth.
saṁsāro yeṣām ayogyaste nirjanasthāneṣu parvvateṣu gahvareṣu pṛthivyāśchidreṣu ca paryyaṭan|
39 These all, having had testimony given to them through their faith, did not receive the promise,
etaiḥ sarvvai rviśvāsāt pramāṇaṁ prāpi kintu pratijñāyāḥ phalaṁ na prāpi|
40 God having provided some better thing concerning us, so that apart from us they should not be made perfect.
yataste yathāsmān vinā siddhā na bhaveyustathaiveśvareṇāsmākaṁ kṛte śreṣṭhataraṁ kimapi nirdidiśe|
