Hebrews 11
1 Now faith is assurance of things hoped for, a conviction of things not seen.
Fatokisañe ty mamente o raha tamaeñeo, ty fampibentarañe o raha tsy oniñeo.
2 For by it the elders obtained a good report.
Ie ty nahazoa’ o taoloo to.
3 Through faith we perceive that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that that which is seen hath not been made out of things which appear. (aiōn g165)
Fatokisañe ty ahaoniñan-tika amy Tsinaran’ Añaharey, te tsy nalaha’e amo raha oniñeo o raha miboake amo sào. (aiōn g165)
4 By faith Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he received testimony that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts; and by it though dead he yet speaketh.
Fatokisañe ty nañengà’ i Abela aman’ Añahare soroñe soa te amy Kaina, vaho nitaroñeñe te vantañe, ie nitsaraen’ Añahare i banabana’ey, toe misaontsy re ndra te nihomake.
5 By faith Enoch was translated, that he should not see death; and he was not found, because God translated him; for before his translation he had the testimony that he pleased God.
Fatokisañe ty nampionjoneñe i Enoke tsy handia havilasy, ie tsy nitendreke fa rinamben’ Añahare; ie nitaroñeñe taolo’ ty nampionjonañe aze te nisohen’ Añahare.
6 But without faith it is impossible to please him; for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of those who diligently seek him.
Tsy mahafale Aze t’ie tsy amam-patokisañe. Amy te ze hañarine aman’ Añahare, tsy mete tsy matoky t’ie eo, naho manambe ty mitsoek’ aze.
7 By faith Noah, being warned by God of things not yet seen, moved with fear, prepared an ark for the saving of his house; by which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith.
Fatokisañe am-pañeveñañe ty nandranjia’ i Noe lakan-katae ty amy hatahatan’ Añaharey o raha mbe tsy rendrekeo, handrombaha’e i hasavereña’ey, ie ty namarañe ty tane bey toy, naho nampandovañe i havantañam-patokisañey.
8 By faith Abraham, when called, obeyed to go forth to a place which he was afterward to receive for an inheritance, and went forth, not knowing whither he was going.
Fatokisañe ty niantofa’ i Abraàme, ie kinanjy hienga mb’an-tane ho rambese’e afara ho lova, vaho nionjoñe mb’eo tsy nahafohiñe ty hombà’e.
9 By faith he sojourned in the land of the promise, as in a foreign country, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise;
Fatokisañe ty nañialoa’e an-tane nampitamaeñey, hoe ambahiny, ie nimoneñe an-kivoho mindre am’ Ietsake naho Iakobe, mpitrao-lova ama’e amy fampitamàñey.
10 for he was looking for the city which hath foundations, whose maker and builder is God.
Toe i rova reke-manantañey ty nitamà’e, i rinanjin’ Añahare naho tsinene’ey.
11 Through faith Sarah herself also received power to conceive, even when she was past age, because she accounted him faithful who had promised.
Fatokisañe ka, ty nampaozatse i Saràe hiareñe, naho nahasamak’ anake ndra te losotse o taoñe nahampela azeo, ie niantoke te migahiñe i Nampitàmay.
12 Wherefore there sprang even from one, and him become as dead, a race like the stars of heaven in multitude, and like the sand by the seashore which cannot be numbered.
Aa le sinama’ i fa hihomakey, ty mira ami’ty hatozantoza’ o vasian-dikerañeo naho o faseñe añ’ olon-driake tsy lefe iaheñeo.
13 These all died in faith, not having received the promised blessings, but having seen them from afar, and greeted them, and having professed that they were strangers and sojourners on the earth.
Songa nivilasy am-patokisañe, tsy tam’ iereo o nampitamañeo; fe nioni’ iereo tsietoimoneñe añe, le nisalalaeñe, vaho niantofa’ iereo t'ie renetane, mpañialo an-tane atoy.
14 For they who say such things show plainly that they are seeking a country.
Ampalangese’ o mitaroñe izaio te mitamà tanen-droae.
15 And if indeed they had been mindful of that from which they came out, they would have had opportunity to return;
Aa naho nimaniña’ iareo i tane niboahañey, le nalalake t'ie ho nimpoly.
16 but now they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly. Wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God; for he prepared for them a city.
F’ie nitamà ty soa—toe i andindìñe añey. Ie amy zay, tsy mahasalatse an’ Andrianañahare ty atao Andrianañahare’ iareo vaho nihalankàña’e rova.
17 By faith Abraham, when tried, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises was offering up his only-begotten son,
Fatokisañe ty nañengà’ i Abraàme t’Ietsake, ie nitsoheñe; nengae’ i nandrambe i fitamañeiy i bako toka’ey,
18 he to whom it was said, “From Isaac shall thine offspring be reckoned;”
ie nanoañe ty hoe: Am’ Isaka ty hikanjiañe o tarira’oo.
19 accounting that God is able even to raise from the dead; whence also he did figuratively receive him back.
Natokisa’e te lefen’ Añahare ty hampitroatse ty nihomake, le ao ty nandrambesa’e aze am-pandrazañañe.
20 By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau even concerning things to come.
Fatokisañe ty nitatà’ Isaka t’Iakobe naho i Esave amo raha ho avio.
21 By faith Jacob, when dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph; and worshipped, leaning upon the top of his staff.
Fatokisañe ty nitatà’ Iakobe fa hihomakey i ana’ Iosefe rey vaho nitalaho t’ie niato andoham-pitoño’e.
22 By faith Joseph, when dying, made mention of the departure of the sons of Israel, and gave directions concerning his bones.
Fatokisañe ty nitokia’ Iosefe, ie fa hèta’ey, ty hiavota’ o nte-Israeleo vaho toe nafè’e o taola’eo.
23 By faith Moses, when born, was hidden three months by his parents, because they saw that the child was fair and they feared not the king's commandment.
Fatokisañe ty nañetahan-droae’ i Mosè aze te nitoly, naho nioni’ iareo t’ie ajaja soa, vaho tsy nahahembañe iareo ty nafè’ i mpanjakay.
24 By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called son of Pharaoh's daughter,
Fatokisañe ty nifoneña’ i Mosè tsy hatao ana’ ty anak’ ampela’ i Farao, ie fa niañoñ’ay,
25 choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;
te mone jinobo’e ty hifeake fampisoañañe mindre am’ondatin’ Añahareo, ta t’ie hanañ’andro hieranerañe an-kakeo;
26 esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt; for he looked to the recompense of reward.
natao’e te vara mandikoatse ty harea’ i Egipte ty ìnje’ i Norizañey, amy te nitalakese’e i tambe’ey.
27 By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he endured as seeing him who is invisible.
Fatokisañe ty niengà’e i Egipte, tsy nihembaña’e ty haviñera’ i mpanjakay; fe nifeake hoe te niisa’e i tsy isakey.
28 Through faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of the blood, that he who destroyed the first-born might not touch them.
Fatokisañe ty nahahenefa’e i Fihelañey, naho i fitse-lioy, tsy hipaoha’ i mpanjaman-tañoloñolòñañey iareo.
29 By faith they passed through the Red Sea as through dry land; which the Egyptians attempted and were swallowed up.
Fatokisañe ty nitoaña’ iareo i Riake Menay hoe an-tane maike, fe nagedra’e o nte Egipte nahavany nisoroke ama'eo.
30 By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they had been encompassed for seven days.
Fatokisañe ty nampiforetrake o kijoli’ i Jerikòo, ie niariaria’ iareo fito andro.
31 By faith Rahab the harlot did not perish with those who disobeyed, after having received the spies with peace.
Fatokisañe ty tsy nitraofa’ i Rahaba karapilo fivetrak’ amo nanjehatseo ie nandrambe i mpifilo rey am-panintsiñañe.
32 And what shall I say more? For the time would fail me to tell of Gideon, of Barak, and Samson, and Jephthah, of David and Samuel, and the prophets;
Aa inon-ka ty hataliliko? Fa hilesa ty andro naho taroñeko i Gideona naho i Baraka naho i Samsone naho i Jefta, i Davide ka, naho i Samoela vaho o mpitokio,
33 who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promised blessings, stopped the mouths of lions,
ie am-patokisañe ro nampiambane fifeheañe, nitolon-kavantañañe, nahazo fampitamàñe, nampitsiteke ty vavan-diona,
34 quenched the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, became mighty in war, put to flight the armies of the aliens.
namono ty afo nisotratràke, nibolititse ami’ty lelam-pibara, ni-haozareñe te naifoifo, nifanalolahy añ’aly vaho nampitriban-day o lahin-defon’ ambahinio.
35 Women received back their dead by a resurrection; but others were tortured, not accepting deliverance, that they might obtain a better resurrection;
Rinambe’ o rakembao o vilasi’ iareoo te vinañon-ko veloñe; nisamporeraheñe ty ila’e nitoky tsy hahañe, handrambesa’ iareo ty fitroarañe soa,
36 and others had trial of mockings and scourgings, and also of bonds and imprisonment;
nitsoehem-pañinjeañe naho firiso ty ila’e, mbore vinahotse vaho najo am-pandrohizañe ao.
37 they were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword; they went about in sheep-skins and goat-skins, being destitute, afflicted, tormented,
Finetsa-bato iereo, linily lasý, nizizieñe, vinono am-pibara, nirererere an-kolits’ añondry naho holits’ ose, nibangý, niforekekèñe, nivolevolèñe—
38 of whom the world was not worthy; they wandered in deserts and mountains, and caves and the clefts of the earth.
tsy nañeva iareo ty voatse toy—nisariosario an-dratraratra añe naho am-bohitse ao naho an-dakato vaho an-kobo’ ty tane toy ao.
39 And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promised blessing,
Ie iaby rezay, niventem-patokisañe, fe tsy nandrambe i nampitamaeñey.
40 God having provided for us some better thing, that they might not be made perfect without us.
Amy te lombolombon-kasoa ty natolon’ Añahare aman-tika, te tsy ho fonireñe iereo naho tsy itika.
