Hebrews 11
1 But faith is, of things hoped for, a confidence, of facts, a conviction, when they are not seen;
εστιν δε πιστισ ελπιζομενων υποστασισ πραγματων ελεγχοσ ου βλεπομενων
2 For, thereby, well-attested were the ancients.
εν ταυτη γαρ εμαρτυρηθησαν οι πρεσβυτεροι
3 By faith, we understand the ages to have been fitted together, by declaration of God, —to the end that, not out of things appearing, should that which is seen, have come into existence. (aiōn g165)
πιστει νοουμεν κατηρτισθαι τουσ αιωνασ ρηματι θεου εισ το μη εκ φαινομενων τα βλεπομενα γεγονεναι (aiōn g165)
4 By faith, a fuller sacrifice, did Abel, offer unto God, than Cain, —through which, he received witness that he was righteous, there being a witnessing upon his gifts, by God; and, through it, though he died, he yet is speaking.
πιστει πλειονα θυσιαν αβελ παρα καιν προσηνεγκεν τω θεω δι ησ εμαρτυρηθη ειναι δικαιοσ μαρτυρουντοσ επι τοισ δωροισ αυτου του θεου και δι αυτησ αποθανων ετι λαλειται
5 By faith, Enoch was translated, so as not to see death, and was not found, because that, God, had translated him; for, before the translation, he had received witness that he had become well-pleasing unto God; —
πιστει ενωχ μετετεθη του μη ιδειν θανατον και ουχ ευρισκετο διοτι μετεθηκεν αυτον ο θεοσ προ γαρ τησ μεταθεσεωσ αυτου μεμαρτυρηται ευηρεστηκεναι τω θεω
6 But, apart from faith, it is impossible to be well-pleasing; for he that approacheth unto God—must needs have faith, that he is, and that, to them who seek him out, a rewarder he becometh.
χωρισ δε πιστεωσ αδυνατον ευαρεστησαι πιστευσαι γαρ δει τον προσερχομενον τω θεω οτι εστιν και τοισ εκζητουσιν αυτον μισθαποδοτησ γινεται
7 By faith, Noah, having received intimation concerning the things not yet seen, filled with reverence, prepared an ark to the saving of his house—through which he condemned the world, and, of the righteousness by way of faith, became heir.
πιστει χρηματισθεισ νωε περι των μηδεπω βλεπομενων ευλαβηθεισ κατεσκευασεν κιβωτον εισ σωτηριαν του οικου αυτου δι ησ κατεκρινεν τον κοσμον και τησ κατα πιστιν δικαιοσυνησ εγενετο κληρονομοσ
8 By faith, being called, Abraham obeyed—to come forth into a place he was destined to receive for an inheritance; and he came forth, not well knowing whither he was coming.
πιστει καλουμενοσ αβρααμ υπηκουσεν εξελθειν εισ τον τοπον ον ημελλεν λαμβανειν εισ κληρονομιαν και εξηλθεν μη επισταμενοσ που ερχεται
9 By faith, he sojourned in the land of promise, as a foreign land, in tents, dwelling, along with Isaac and Jacob, the joint-heirs of the same promise;
πιστει παρωκησεν εισ γην τησ επαγγελιασ ωσ αλλοτριαν εν σκηναισ κατοικησασ μετα ισαακ και ιακωβ των συγκληρονομων τησ επαγγελιασ τησ αυτησ
10 For he was awaiting the city having foundations, whose architect and builder is, God.
εξεδεχετο γαρ την τουσ θεμελιουσ εχουσαν πολιν ησ τεχνιτησ και δημιουργοσ ο θεοσ
11 By faith, even Sarah herself, received power for founding a seed, even beyond the season of life’s prime, —seeing that, faithful, she reckoned, him that had promised;
πιστει και αυτη σαρρα δυναμιν εισ καταβολην σπερματοσ ελαβεν και παρα καιρον ηλικιασ ετεκεν επει πιστον ηγησατο τον επαγγειλαμενον
12 Wherefore, even from one, were born, and, as to these things, one who had become dead, —like the stars of the heaven, for multitude, and as the sand that is by the lip of the sea, that cannot be numbered.
διο και αφ ενοσ εγεννηθησαν και ταυτα νενεκρωμενου καθωσ τα αστρα του ουρανου τω πληθει και ωσ η αμμοσ η παρα το χειλοσ τησ θαλασσησ η αναριθμητοσ
13 In faith, all these died—not bearing away the promises, but, from afar, beholding and saluting them, and confessing that, strangers and sojourners, were they upon the land.
κατα πιστιν απεθανον ουτοι παντεσ μη λαβοντεσ τασ επαγγελιασ αλλα πορρωθεν αυτασ ιδοντεσ και ασπασαμενοι και ομολογησαντεσ οτι ξενοι και παρεπιδημοι εισιν επι τησ γησ
14 For, they who such things as these are saying, make it clear that, of a paternal home they are in quest;
οι γαρ τοιαυτα λεγοντεσ εμφανιζουσιν οτι πατριδα επιζητουσιν
15 And, if indeed of that they had been mindful, from which they had come out, they might, in that case, have had an opportunity, to return;
και ει μεν εκεινησ εμνημονευον αφ ησ εξηλθον ειχον αν καιρον ανακαμψαι
16 But, now, after a better one, are they reaching, that is, a heavenly; wherefore God is not ashamed of them, to be invoked as, their God, —for he hath prepared for them, a city.
νυν δε κρειττονοσ ορεγονται τουτ εστιν επουρανιου διο ουκ επαισχυνεται αυτουσ ο θεοσ θεοσ επικαλεισθαι αυτων ητοιμασεν γαρ αυτοισ πολιν
17 By faith, Abraham, when tested, offered up Isaac, and, the only-begotten, would he have offered up, who the promises had accepted, —
πιστει προσενηνοχεν αβρααμ τον ισαακ πειραζομενοσ και τον μονογενη προσεφερεν ο τασ επαγγελιασ αναδεξαμενοσ
18 Even him of whom it had been said—In Isaac, shall there be called to thee, a seed:
προσ ον ελαληθη οτι εν ισαακ κληθησεται σοι σπερμα
19 Accounting that, even from among the dead, God, was able, to raise [him], —whence, even in similitude, he bare him away.
λογισαμενοσ οτι και εκ νεκρων εγειρειν δυνατοσ ο θεοσ οθεν αυτον και εν παραβολη εκομισατο
20 By faith, even concerning things to come, did Isaac bless Jacob and Esau.
πιστει περι μελλοντων ευλογησεν ισαακ τον ιακωβ και τον ησαυ
21 By faith, Jacob, when about to die, blessed each of the sons of Joseph; and bowed in worship on the top of his staff.
πιστει ιακωβ αποθνησκων εκαστον των υιων ιωσηφ ευλογησεν και προσεκυνησεν επι το ακρον τησ ραβδου αυτου
22 By faith, Joseph, when drawing to his end—concerning the exodus of the sons of Israel, called to remembrance, and, concerning his bones, gave commandment.
πιστει ιωσηφ τελευτων περι τησ εξοδου των υιων ισραηλ εμνημονευσεν και περι των οστεων αυτου ενετειλατο
23 By faith, Moses, when born—was hid three months by his parents, because, they saw, that, goodly, was, the child, and were not affrighted, at the decree of the king.
πιστει μωυσησ γεννηθεισ εκρυβη τριμηνον υπο των πατερων αυτου διοτι ειδον αστειον το παιδιον και ουκ εφοβηθησαν το διαταγμα του βασιλεωσ
24 By faith, Moses, when grown up—refused to be called the son of a daughter of a Pharaoh,
πιστει μωυσησ μεγασ γενομενοσ ηρνησατο λεγεσθαι υιοσ θυγατροσ φαραω
25 Rather choosing—to be jointly suffering ill-treatment with the people of God, than, for a season, to be having, sins enjoyment;
μαλλον ελομενοσ συγκακουχεισθαι τω λαω του θεου η προσκαιρον εχειν αμαρτιασ απολαυσιν
26 Accounting—as greater riches than Egypt’s treasures, the reproach of the Anointed One; for he was looking away unto the recompense.
μειζονα πλουτον ηγησαμενοσ των αιγυπτου θησαυρων τον ονειδισμον του χριστου απεβλεπεν γαρ εισ την μισθαποδοσιαν
27 By faith, he forsook Egypt—not put in fear of the wrath of the king; for, as seeing him who cannot be seen, he persevered.
πιστει κατελιπεν αιγυπτον μη φοβηθεισ τον θυμον του βασιλεωσ τον γαρ αορατον ωσ ορων εκαρτερησεν
28 By faith, he hath kept the passover and the besmearing of the blood, lest, he that was destroying the first-born, should be touching them.
πιστει πεποιηκεν το πασχα και την προσχυσιν του αιματοσ ινα μη ο ολοθρευων τα πρωτοτοκα θιγη αυτων
29 By faith, they passed through the Red Sea, as over dry land, —which the Egyptians, seizing an attempt to do, were swallowed up.
πιστει διεβησαν την ερυθραν θαλασσαν ωσ δια ξηρασ ησ πειραν λαβοντεσ οι αιγυπτιοι κατεποθησαν
30 By faith, the walls of Jericho, fell, having been surrounded for seven days.
πιστει τα τειχη ιεριχω επεσεν κυκλωθεντα επι επτα ημερασ
31 By faith, Rahab the harlot perished not with them who refused to yield, she having welcomed the spies with peace.
πιστει ρααβ η πορνη ου συναπωλετο τοισ απειθησασιν δεξαμενη τουσ κατασκοπουσ μετ ειρηνησ
32 And what more can I say? For, time, will fail me while I go on telling—concerning Gideon, Barak, Sampson, Jephthah, David also, and Samuel, and the prophets, —
και τι ετι λεγω επιλειψει γαρ με διηγουμενον ο χρονοσ περι γεδεων βαρακ τε και σαμψων και ιεφθαε δαυιδ τε και σαμουηλ και των προφητων
33 Who, through faith—prevailed in contest over kingdoms, wrought righteousness, attained unto promises, shut the mouths of lions,
οι δια πιστεωσ κατηγωνισαντο βασιλειασ ειργασαντο δικαιοσυνην επετυχον επαγγελιων εφραξαν στοματα λεοντων
34 Quenched the power of fire, escaped the mouths of the sword, were made powerful from weakness, became mighty in battle, overturned, camps of aliens;
εσβεσαν δυναμιν πυροσ εφυγον στοματα μαχαιρασ ενεδυναμωθησαν απο ασθενειασ εγενηθησαν ισχυροι εν πολεμω παρεμβολασ εκλιναν αλλοτριων
35 Women received, by resurrection, their dead; but, others, were put to the rack, not accepting redemption, that, unto a better resurrection, they might attain:
ελαβον γυναικεσ εξ αναστασεωσ τουσ νεκρουσ αυτων αλλοι δε ετυμπανισθησαν ου προσδεξαμενοι την απολυτρωσιν ινα κρειττονοσ αναστασεωσ τυχωσιν
36 Others, again, of mockings and scourgings, received trial, nay! further, of bonds and imprisonments:
ετεροι δε εμπαιγμων και μαστιγων πειραν ελαβον ετι δε δεσμων και φυλακησ
37 They were stoned, were pierced through, were sawn asunder, by murder, with a sword, died, went about in sheep-skins, in goat-hides, —being in want, suffering tribulation, enduring ill-treatment:
ελιθασθησαν επρισθησαν επειρασθησαν εν φονω μαχαιρασ απεθανον περιηλθον εν μηλωταισ εν αιγειοισ δερμασιν υστερουμενοι θλιβομενοι κακουχουμενοι
38 Of whom the world, was not worthy—upon deserts, wandering, and mountains, and in caves, —and in the caverns of the earth.
ων ουκ ην αξιοσ ο κοσμοσ εν ερημιαισ πλανωμενοι και ορεσιν και σπηλαιοισ και ταισ οπαισ τησ γησ
39 And, these all, though they obtained witness through their faith, yet bare not away, the promise:
και ουτοι παντεσ μαρτυρηθεντεσ δια τησ πιστεωσ ουκ εκομισαντο την επαγγελιαν
40 God, for us, something better providing, —that, not apart from us, should they be made, perfect.
του θεου περι ημων κρειττον τι προβλεψαμενου ινα μη χωρισ ημων τελειωθωσιν
