Hebrews 11
1 Faith is the realisation of things hoped for – the proof of things not seen.
Ita, ti pammati ket isu ti talged ti addaan iti daytoy, no mangnamnama isuna iti maysa a banag. Daytoy ket panangnamnama maipapan kadagiti banbanag a saan pay a nakita.
2 And it was for faith that the people of old were renowned.
Ta babaen iti daytoy, naanamongan kadagiti pammatida dagiti kapuonantayo.
3 Faith enables us to perceive that the universe was created at the bidding of God – so that we know that what we see was not made out of visible things. (aiōn g165)
Babaen iti pammati maawawatantayo a naparsua ti lubong babaen iti bilin ti Dios, isu a saan a naaramid dagiti makita manipud kadagiti banbanag a makita. (aiōn g165)
4 Faith made the sacrifice which Abel offered to God a better sacrifice than Cain’s, and won him renown as a righteous man, God himself establishing his renown by accepting his gifts; and it is by the example of his faith that Abel, though dead, still speaks.
Babaen iti pammati a nangisagut ni Abel iti umno a daton ngem iti inaramid ni Cain. Gapu iti daytoy, napadayawan isuna gapu iti panagbalinna a nalinteg. Dinayaw ti Dios isuna gapu kadagiti inyegna a sagsagut. Gapu iti dayta, agsasao latta ni Abel uray no natayen isuna.
5 Faith led to Enoch’s removal from earth, so that he might not experience death. “He could not be found because God had removed him.” For, before his removal, he was renowned as having pleased God;
Babaen iti pammati a naipangato ni Enoc ken saanna a nakita ti ipapatay. “Saan isunan a mabirukan gapu ta innala isunan ti Dios” Ta naibaga kenkuana a naay-ayonan ti Dios sakbay a naipangato isuna.
6 but without faith it is impossible to please him, for he who comes to God must believe that God exists, and that he rewards those who seek for him.
Saan a mabalin a maay-ayo ti Dios no awan iti pammati, ta ti umay iti Dios ket rumbeng a mamati nga adda isuna ken gunggonaanna dagiti agsapul kenkuana.
7 It was faith that enabled Noah, after he had received the divine warning about what could not then be foreseen, to build, in reverent obedience, an ark in which to save his family. By his faith he condemned the world, and became possessed of that righteousness which follows on faith.
Babaen iti pammati ni Noe, nga idi binallaagan isuna ti Dios maipapan kadagiti banbanag a saan pay a nakita, a napakuyogan iti nadiosan a panagraem ket nangipatakder isuna iti daong tapno isalakanna ti pamiliana. Babaen ti panangaramidna iti daytoy, inukomna ti lubong ket tinawidna ti kinalinteg nga umay babaen iti pammati.
8 It was faith that enabled Abraham to obey the call that he received, and to set out for the place which he was afterwards to obtain as his own; and he set out not knowing where he was going.
Babaen iti pammati nga idi naayaban ni Abraham, nagtulnog isuna ket napan iti lugar nga awatennanto a kas tawid. Napan isuna, a saanna nga ammo ti papananna.
9 It was faith that made him go to live as an emigrant in the promised land – as in a strange country – living there in tents with Isaac and Jacob, who shared the promise with him.
Babaen iti pammati a nagnaed isuna iti naikari a daga a kas gangannaet. Kaduana a nagnaed iti toltolda ni Isaac ken Jacob, a kaduana nga agtawid iti isu met laeng a kari.
10 For he was looking for the city with the sure foundations, whose architect and builder is God.
Daytoy ket gapu ta pinaspasungadanna ti pannakaipatakder iti siudad a ti arkitekto ken nangipatakder ket ti Dios.
11 Again, it was faith that enabled Sarah to conceive (though she was past the age for childbearing), because she felt sure that he who had given her the promise would not fail her.
Babaen iti pammati a naawat ni Abraham ken ni Sarah ti pannakabalin nga agsikog uray no nataenganda unayen, agsipud ta imbilangda a napudno ti Dios, ti nangikari kadakuada iti anak a lalaki.
12 And so from one man – and that when his powers were dead – there sprang a people as numerous “as the stars in the heavens or the countless grains of sand on the shore.”
Ngarud manipud pay iti daytoy a mamaysa a tao nga idi asidegen a matay, a nangipasngay ti saan a mabilang a kaputotan. Immaduda a kas ti kaadu ti bitbituen iti tangatang ken ti saan a mabilang a darat iti igid ti baybay.
13 All these died sustained by faith. They did not obtain the promised blessings, but they saw them from a distance and welcomed the sight, and they acknowledged themselves to be only foreigners and strangers on the earth.
Natayda amin dagitoy nga addaan iti pammati a saanda a naawat dagiti kari. Ngem ketdi, nakita ken pinasangbayda daytoy manipud ti adayo, binigbigda nga isuda ket agdaldaliasat ken gangannaet iti daytoy a daga.
14 Those who speak like this show plainly that they are seeking their homeland.
Ta ilawlawag dagiti mangibaga kadagitoy a banbanag nga agsapsapulda iti bukodda a daga a pagnaedanda.
15 If they had been thinking of the land that they had left, they could have found opportunities to return.
Kinapudnona, no ti pinanpanunotda ket ti maysa a pagilian a nagpanawanda, mabalin nga adda iti gundawayda nga agsubli.
16 But no, they were longing for a better, a heavenly, land! And therefore God was not ashamed to be called their God; indeed he had already prepared them a city.
Ngem tartarigagayanda iti nasaysayaat a pagilian, dayta ket nainlangitan. Saan ngarud nga ibain ti Dios a maawagan a Diosda, agsipud ta nangisagana isuna iti siudad a maipaay kadakuada.
17 It was faith that enabled Abraham, when put to the test, to offer Isaac as a sacrifice – he who had received the promises offering up his only son,
Babaen iti pammati, kalpasan ti pannakapadas ni Abraham, indatonna ni Isaac. Wen, a siraragsak a nangawat iti kari ket indatonna ti kakaisuna nga anakna a lalaki,
18 of whom it had been said – “It is through Isaac that there will be descendants to bear your name.”
kenkuana a nakaibagaanna, “Manipud kenni Isaac a maawaganto dagiti kaputotam.”
19 For he argued that God was even able to raise a man from the dead – and indeed, figuratively speaking, Abraham did receive Isaac back from the dead.
Imbilang ni Abraham a kabaelan a pagungaren ti Dios ni Isaac manipud iti patay, ket kas panangiladawan a panangibaga, inawatna ngarud manen isuna.
20 It was faith that enabled Isaac to bless Jacob and Esau, even with regard to the future.
Babaen iti pammati a binendisionan ni Isaac da Jacob ken Esau maipapan kadagiti banbanag a dumtengto.
21 Faith enabled Jacob, when dying, to give his blessing to each of the sons of Joseph, and “to bow himself in worship as he leant on the top of his staff.”
Babaen iti pammati, a binendisionan ni Jacob dagiti annak a lallaki ni Jose idi matmatay isunan. Nagrukbab ni Jacob, a nakasadag iti rabaw ti bastonna.
22 Faith caused Joseph, when his end was near, to speak of the future migration of the Israelites, and to give instructions with regard to his bones.
Babaen iti pammati, idi dandanin iti panungpalan ni Jose, nagsarita isuna iti panagpanaw dagiti annak ti Israel iti Egipto ket imbilinna nga itugotda dagiti tulangna.
23 Faith caused the parents of Moses to hide the child for three months after his birth, for they saw that he was a beautiful child; and they would not respect the king’s order.
Babaen iti pammati nga idi naiyanak ni Moises, inlemmeng isuna dagiti nagannakna iti tallo a bulan gapu ta nakitada ti kinalibnusna a maladaga, ket saanda a nagbuteng iti bilin ti ari.
24 It was faith that caused Moses, when he was grown up, to refuse the title of “son of a daughter of Pharaoh.”
Babaen iti pammati, kalpasan a dimmakelen ni Moises, nagkedked isuna a maawagan nga anak a lalaki ti anak a babai ti Faraon.
25 He preferred sharing the hardships of God’s people to enjoying the short-lived pleasures of sin.
Ngem ketdi, pinilina ti makibingay iti panagsagaba kadagiti tattao ti Dios ngem ti mangragragsak kadagiti tarigagay iti basol iti apagkanito.
26 For he counted “the reproaches that are heaped on the Christ” of greater value than the treasures of Egypt, looking forward, as he did, to the reward awaiting him.
Imbilangna a natantan-ok a kinabaknang ti pannakaibabain a panangsurot kenni Cristo ngem dagiti gameng ti Egipto, ta situturong dagiti matana iti masakbayan a gunggonana.
27 Faith caused him to leave Egypt, though undaunted by the king’s anger, for he was strengthened in his endurance by the vision of the invisible God.
Babaen iti pammati a pinanawan ni Moises iti Egipto. Saan isuna a nagbuteng iti unget ti ari, ta nagibtur isuna babaen iti panangkita iti saan a makita.
28 Faith led him to institute the Passover and the sprinkling of the blood, so that the Destroyer might not touch the eldest children of the Israelites.
Babaen iti pammati a nginilinna ti Ilalabas ken ti pannakaiwarsi ti dara tapno saan a sagiden ti manangdadael iti inauna nga annak dagiti annak nga inauna dagiti Israelita.
29 Faith enabled the people to cross the Red Sea, as if it had been dry land, while the Egyptians, when they attempted to do so, were drowned.
Babaen iti pammati a binallasiwda ti baybay dagiti Runo a kasla namaga a daga daytoy. Idi pinadas dagiti Egipcio daytoy, naalun-onda.
30 Faith caused the walls of Jericho to fall after being encircled for seven days.
Babaen iti pammati a narba ti bakud ti Jerico, kalpasan a nirikrikosda daytoy iti pito nga aldaw.
31 Faith saved Rahab, the prostitute, from perishing with the unbelievers, after she had entertained the spies with friendliness.
Babaen iti pammati a ti balangkantis a ni Rahab ket saan a napukaw a kadua dagiti nasusukir, gapu ta inawatna a sitatalged dagiti espia.
32 Need I add anything more? Time would fail me if I attempted to relate the stories of Gideon, Barak, Samson, and Jephthah, and those of David, Samuel, and the prophets.
Ken ania pay iti mainayonko nga ibaga? Ta kurangen ti tiempok no saritaek pay da Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jefte, David, Samuel, ken dagiti profeta,
33 By their faith they subdued kingdoms, ruled righteously, gained the fulfilment of God’s promises, shut the mouths of lions,
a babaen iti pammati ket pinarmekda dagiti pagarian, inaramidda ti nalinteg, ken inawatda dagiti kari. Pinasardengda dagiti ngiwat dagiti leon,
34 quelled the fury of the flames, escaped the edge of the sword, found strength in the hour of weakness, displayed their prowess in war, and routed hostile armies.
iniddepda ti pannakabalin ti apuy, linibasanda iti murdong ti kampilan, naagasanda manipud kadagiti saksakit, nagbalinda a maingel iti gubat, ken pinapanawda dagiti soldado a ganganaet.
35 Women received back their dead raised to life. Some were tortured on the wheel, and refused release in order that they might rise to a better life.
Inawat dagiti babai dagiti minatayda babaen ti panagungar. Naparparigat dagiti dadduma, saanda nga inawat ti pannakawayawayada tapno mapadasanda iti nasaysayaat a panagungar.
36 Others had to face taunts and blows, and even chains and imprisonment.
Nagsagaba dagiti dadduma ti pannakalalais ken pannakasapsaplit, wen, uray ti pannakaikawar ken pannaka-ibalud.
37 They were stoned to death, they were tortured, they were swan asunder, they were put to the sword; they wandered about clothed in the skins of sheep or goats, destitute, persecuted, ill-used –
Nauborda, naragadida iti dua. Napapatayda iti kampilan. Nagpagpagnada a sikakawes iti lalat ti karnero ken lalat ti kalding agsipud ta nakurapayda, naparparigatda, ken namaltratoda,
38 people of whom the world was not worthy – roaming in lonely places, and on the mountains, and in caves and holes in the ground.
(a saan a maikari ti lubong kadakuada), nagalla-allada kadagiti let-ang, banbantay, rukrukib, ken kadagiti abut iti daga.
39 Yet, though they all won renown by their faith, they did not obtain the final fulfilment of God’s promise;
Uray no inanamongan ti Dios dagitoy a tattao gapu iti pammatida, saanda a naawat ti inkarina.
40 since God had in view some better thing for us, so that they would only reach perfection together with us.
Impaayen ti Dios idi pay dagiti banbanag a nasaysayaat para kadatayo, tapno saanda nga agbalin a naan-anay no awantayo.
