Hebrews 11
1 Now faith is being confident of what we hope for, convinced about things we do not see.
Ora, a fé é o firme fundamento das coisas que se esperam, e a prova das coisas que se não veem.
2 For by this, the people of old were attested.
Porque por ela os antigos alcançaram testemunho.
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)
Pela fé entendemos que os séculos pela palavra de Deus foram criados; de maneira que as coisas que se veem não foram feitas das que se viam. (aiōn g165)
4 By faith, Hevel offered to God a better sacrifice than Cain, through which he was attested as righteous, God testifying with respect to his gifts; and though he died he still speaks through it.
Pela fé Abel ofereceu a Deus maior sacrifício do que Caim, pela qual alcançou testemunho de que era justo, porquanto Deus deu testemunho dos seus dons, e, depois de morto, ainda fala por ela.
5 By faith, Hanokh 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.
Pela fé Enoch foi trasladado para não ver a morte, e não foi achado, porquanto Deus o trasladara; porque antes da sua trasladação alcançou testemunho de que agradava a Deus.
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.
Ora, sem fé é impossível agradar a Deus: porque é necessário que aquele que se aproxima de Deus creia que ele existe, e que é galardoador dos que o buscam.
7 By faith, Noah, 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.
Pela fé Noé, divinamente advertido das coisas que ainda se não viam, temeu, e, para salvação da sua família, fabricou a arca, pela qual condenou o mundo, e foi feito herdeiro da justiça que é segundo a fé.
8 By faith, Abraham, 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.
Pela fé Abraão, sendo chamado, obedeceu, para sair ao lugar que havia de receber por herança; e saiu, sem saber para onde ia
9 By faith, he sojourned in a land of promise, as a foreigner, living in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise.
Pela fé habitou na terra da promessa, como em terra alheia, morando em cabanas com Isaac e Jacob, herdeiros com ele da mesma promessa.
10 For he looked for the city which has foundations, whose architect and builder is God.
Porque esperava a cidade que tem fundamentos, da qual o artífice e fabricador é Deus.
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.
Pela fé também a mesma Sarah recebeu a virtude de conceber, e deu à luz já fora da idade; porquanto teve por fiel aquele que lho tinha prometido.
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.
Pelo que também de um, e esse já amortecido, nasceram em tão grande multidão como as estrelas do céu, e como a areia inumerável que está na praia do mar.
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.
Todos estes morreram na fé, sem terem recebido as promessas; porém, vendo-as de longe, e crendo-as e abraçando-as, confessaram que eram estrangeiros e peregrinos na terra.
14 For those who say such things make it clear that they are seeking a country of their own.
Porque os que isto dizem claramente mostram que buscam outra pátria.
15 If indeed they had been thinking of that country from which they went out, they would have had enough time to return.
E se, na verdade, se lembrassem daquela de onde haviam saído, teriam tempo de tornar para ela.
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.
Mas agora desejam uma melhor, isto é, a celestial. Pelo que também Deus se não envergonha deles, de se chamar seu Deus, porque já lhes aparelhou uma cidade.
17 By faith, Abraham, being tested, offered up Isaac; and he who had gladly received the promises was offering up his one and only son;
Pela fé ofereceu Abraão a Isaac, quando foi provado; e aquele que recebera as promessas ofereceu o seu unigênito,
18 even he to whom it was said, "In Isaac will your descendants be called;"
Sendo-lhe dito: Em Isaac será chamada a tua descendência; considerando que Deus era poderoso para até dos mortos o resuscitar.
19 concluding that God is able to raise up even from the dead. Figuratively speaking, he also did receive him back from the dead.
Por onde também em semelhança o tornou a recobrar.
20 By faith, Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau, even concerning things to come.
Pela fé Isaac abençoou Jacob e Esaú, no tocante às coisas futuras.
21 By faith, Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, and bowed over the top of his staff.
Pela fé Jacob, próximo da morte, abençoou cada um dos filhos de José, e adorou encostado à ponta do seu bordão.
22 By faith, Joseph, when his end was near, made mention of the departure of the children of Israel; and gave instructions concerning his bones.
Pela fé José, próximo da morte, fez menção da saída dos filhos de Israel, e deu ordem acerca de seus ossos.
23 By faith, Moses, 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.
Pela fé Moisés, já nascido, foi escondido três meses por seus pais, porque viram que era um formoso menino; e não temeram o mandamento do rei
24 By faith, Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter,
Pela fé Moisés, sendo já grande, recusou ser chamado filho da filha de faraó,
25 choosing rather to share ill treatment with God's people, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a time;
Escolhendo antes ser maltratado com o povo de Deus de que por um pouco de tempo ter o gozo do pecado;
26 considering the abuse suffered for the Messiah greater riches than the treasures of Egypt; for he looked to the reward.
Tendo por maiores riquezas o vitupério de Cristo do que os tesouros do Egito; porque tinha em vista a recompensa.
27 By faith, he left Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.
Pela fé deixou o Egito, não temendo a ira do rei; porque esteve firme, como vendo o invisível.
28 By faith, he kept the Passover, and the sprinkling of the blood, that the destroyer of the firstborn should not touch them.
Pela fé celebrou a pascoa e o derramamento de sangue, para que o destruidor dos primogênitos os não tocasse.
29 By faith, they passed through the Red Sea as on dry land. When the Egyptians tried to do so, they were swallowed up.
Pela fé passaram o Mar Vermelho, como por terra seca; o que intentando os egípcios, se afogaram.
30 By faith, the walls of Jericho fell down, after they had been encircled for seven days.
Pela fé cairam os muros de Jericó, sendo sitiados durante sete dias.
31 By faith, Rahab the prostitute did not perish with those who were disobedient, having received the spies in peace.
Pela fé Rahab, a meretriz, não pereceu com os incrédulos, acolhendo em paz os espias.
32 What more shall I say? For the time would fail me if I told of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, Samuel, and the prophets;
E que mais direi? faltar-me-ia o tempo, contando de Gideon, e de Barac, e de Sansão, e de Jefthe, e de David, e de Samuel e dos profetas:
33 who, through faith subdued kingdoms, worked out righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,
Os quais pela fé venceram reinos, exercitaram justiça, alcançaram promessas, fecharam as bocas dos leões,
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.
Apagaram a força do fogo, escaparam do fio da espada, da fraqueza tiraram forças, na batalha se esforçaram, puseram em fugida os exércitos dos estranhos.
35 Women received their dead by resurrection. And others were tortured, not accepting the payment for release, that they might obtain a better resurrection.
As mulheres tornaram a receber pela ressurreição os seus mortos, e outros foram estirados, não aceitando o seu livramento, para alcançarem uma melhor ressurreição.
36 Others were tried by mocking and scourging, yes, moreover by bonds and imprisonment.
E outros experimentaram escárneos e açoites, e até cadeias e prisões;
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
Foram apedrejados, serrados, tentados, mortos ao fio da espada; andaram vestidos de peles de ovelhas e de cabras, desamparados, aflitos e maltratados
38 (of whom the world was not worthy), wandering in deserts, mountains, caves, and the holes of the earth.
(Dos quais o mundo não era digno), errantes pelos desertos, e montes, e covas e cavernas da terra.
39 These all, having had testimony given to them through their faith, did not receive the promise,
E todos estes, tendo testemunho pela fé, não alcançaram a promessa:
40 God having provided some better thing concerning us, so that apart from us they should not be made perfect.
Provendo Deus alguma coisa melhor a nosso respeito, para que sem nós não fossem aperfeiçoados.
