Hebrews 11
1 It is because people trust [God] that they are sure that they will receive the things that they confidently expect [God to give them]. They are also certain [that they will see those things], though no one sees them yet.
ବିଶ୍ୱାସ ପ୍ରତ୍ୟାଶିତ ବିଷୟର ମୂଳଭୂମି ଓ ଅଦୃଶ୍ୟ ବିଷୟର ନିଶ୍ଚିତ ଜ୍ଞାନ।
2 It was because our ancestors trusted in God that they pleased him.
ତଦ୍ୱାରା ପ୍ରାଚୀନମାନେ ତ ସୁଖ୍ୟାତି ଲାଭ କଲେ।
3 It is because we trust in God that we understand that he formed the universe by commanding [it to exist]. The result is that the things that we see were not made from things that already existed. (aiōn g165)
ବିଶ୍ୱାସ ଦ୍ୱାରା ଆମ୍ଭେମାନେ ବୁଝୁ ଯେ, ସମସ୍ତ ବିଶ୍ୱ ଈଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ବାକ୍ୟ ଦ୍ୱାରା ରଚିତ, ଅତଏବ କୌଣସି ପ୍ରତ୍ୟକ୍ଷ ବିଷୟରୁ ଦୃଶ୍ୟ ବିଷୟ ଉତ୍ପନ୍ନ ହୋଇ ନାହିଁ। (aiōn g165)
4 It was because [Adam’s son] Abel trusted God that he sacrificed something better to God than what [his older brother] Cain offered to God. Because Abel did that, when God spoke well about what Abel sacrificed, God declared that Abel was righteous. And although Abel is dead, we still learn from him [about trusting God].
ବିଶ୍ୱାସ ଦ୍ୱାରା ହେବଲ ଈଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ଛାମୁରେ କୟିନ ଅପେକ୍ଷା ଉତ୍କୃଷ୍ଟ ବଳି ଉତ୍ସର୍ଗ କଲେ ଓ ତଦ୍ୱାରା ସେ ଧାର୍ମିକ ବୋଲି ସାକ୍ଷ୍ୟ ପାଇଲେ; ଈଶ୍ବର ନିଜେ ତାହାଙ୍କ ଦାନ ସମ୍ବନ୍ଧରେ ସାକ୍ଷ୍ୟ ଦେଲେ, ଆଉ ସେ ମୃତ ହେଲେ ହେଁ ବିଶ୍ୱାସ ଦ୍ୱାରା ଆଜି ପର୍ଯ୍ୟନ୍ତ କଥା କହୁଅଛନ୍ତି।
5 It was because Enoch believed [God that God] took him [up to heaven]. The result was that he did not die. No one found him, because he was taken up {[God] had removed him} from the earth [to heaven]. Before [God] took him away, [he] testified that Enoch pleased him well.
ବିଶ୍ୱାସ ଦ୍ୱାରା ହନୋକ ମୃତ୍ୟୁଭୋଗ ନ କରି ଉର୍ଦ୍ଧ୍ବକୁ ଉତ୍ଥିତ ହେଲେ; ସେ ଆଉ ଦେଖାଗଲେ ନାହିଁ, କାରଣ ଈଶ୍ବର ତାହାଙ୍କୁ ଅନ୍ତର୍ହିତ କରିଥିଲେ। ସେ ଯେ ଈଶ୍ବରଙ୍କର ସନ୍ତୋଷପାତ୍ର, ଅନ୍ତର୍ହିତ ହେବା ପୂର୍ବେ ସେଥିର ସାକ୍ଷ୍ୟ ପ୍ରାପ୍ତ ହୋଇଥିଲେ;
6 It is possible for people to please God only if they trust God, because anyone who wants to come to God must first believe that God exists and that he rewards those who seek [to know] him.
ଆଉ ବିଶ୍ୱାସ ବିନା ତାହାଙ୍କ ସନ୍ତୋଷପାତ୍ର ହେବା ଅସମ୍ଭବ, କାରଣ ଈଶ୍ବର ଯେ ଅଛନ୍ତି, ଆଉ ସେ ଯେ ତାହାଙ୍କ ଅନ୍ୱେଷଣକାରୀମାନଙ୍କର ପୁରସ୍କାରଦାତା, ଏହା ତାହାଙ୍କ ଛାମୁକୁ ଆସିବା ଲୋକର ବିଶ୍ୱାସ କରିବା ଆବଶ୍ୟକ।
7 It was because Noah trusted [God] that after he was warned by God {after [God] warned him} about [a flood that] had not yet happened, Noah [showed that he] revered God by building a huge ship to save his family. By doing that, he [showed all the people who did not believe him] [MTY] [that they deserved to be condemned] {[that God would] condemn them}. He was someone whom God declared to be righteous because of his trusting in God.
ବିଶ୍ୱାସ ଦ୍ୱାରା ନୋହ ସେ ସମୟ ପର୍ଯ୍ୟନ୍ତ ଅପ୍ରକାଶିତ ବିଷୟ ସମ୍ବନ୍ଧରେ ପ୍ରତ୍ୟାଦେଶ ପାଇ ଭକ୍ତି ସହକାରେ ଆପଣା ପରିବାରର ରକ୍ଷା ନିମନ୍ତେ ଗୋଟିଏ ଜାହାଜ ନିର୍ମାଣ କଲେ, ପୁଣି, ସେହି ବିଶ୍ୱାସ ଦ୍ୱାରା ସେ ଜଗତକୁ ଦୋଷୀ କରି ବିଶ୍ୱାସାନୁଯାୟୀ ଧାର୍ମିକତାର ଅଧିକାରୀ ହେଲେ।
8 It was because Abraham trusted God that when he was told to go {when [God] told him to go}, he obeyed [God], he left [his own country], and went to a place that God would give him. Abraham left his own country, even though he did not know where he would be going.
ବିଶ୍ୱାସ ଦ୍ୱାରା ଅବ୍ରହାମ ଆହ୍ୱାନ ପ୍ରାପ୍ତ ହୁଅନ୍ତେ, ଯେଉଁ ଦେଶ ସେ ଅଧିକାରସ୍ୱରୂପେ ପାଇବାକୁ ଯାଉଥିଲେ, ଆଜ୍ଞାବହ ହୋଇ ସେଠାକୁ ବାହାରିଗଲେ, ପୁଣି, ସେ କେଉଁଠାକୁ ଯାଉଅଛନ୍ତି, ତାହା ନ ଜାଣି ସୁଦ୍ଧା ବାହାରିଗଲେ।
9 It was because Abraham trusted God that he lived as though he was a foreigner in the land that [God] had promised to him. Abraham lived in tents, and his son Isaac and his grandson Jacob did also. God promised to give to Isaac and Jacob the same things that he promised to give Abraham.
ବିଶ୍ୱାସ ଦ୍ୱାରା ସେ ବିଦେଶୀ ସ୍ୱରୂପେ ପ୍ରତିଜ୍ଞାତ ଦେଶରେ ପ୍ରବାସୀ ହୋଇ ପ୍ରତିଜ୍ଞାର ସହାଧିକାରୀ ଇସ୍ହାକ ଓ ଯାକୁବଙ୍କ ସହିତ ତମ୍ବୁରେ ବାସ କଲେ;
10 Abraham was waiting to live in a city [in heaven] that would exist forever [MET]. It was a city that God is building [DOU].
କାରଣ ଯେଉଁ ନଗର ଭିତ୍ତିମୂଳବିଶିଷ୍ଟ, ପୁଣି, ଯାହାର ଶିଳ୍ପୀ ଓ ନିର୍ମାତା ସ୍ୱୟଂ ଈଶ୍ବର, ଅବ୍ରହାମ ତହିଁର ଅପେକ୍ଷାରେ ଥିଲେ।
11 It was because Abraham trusted God that God gave Abraham strength so that he [was] able to produce a son. Even though his wife Sarah was past the age [when women bear children], [God] promised [that he would give her a son], and Abraham considered that God would do what he promised to do.
ବିଶ୍ୱାସ ଦ୍ୱାରା ସାରା ନିଜେ ମଧ୍ୟ ପ୍ରତିଜ୍ଞାକାରୀଙ୍କୁ ବିଶ୍ୱସ୍ତ ଜ୍ଞାନ କରି ଗତବୟସ୍କା ହେଲେ ହେଁ ଗର୍ଭଧାରଣ କରିବାକୁ ଶକ୍ତି ପ୍ରାପ୍ତ ହେଲେ;
12 So, although Abraham was also too old to have children, so many people descended from that one man that they were as numerous as the stars in the sky and are as countless as the grains of sand along the seashore, [just like God promised him].
ଏହେତୁରୁ ମଧ୍ୟ ମୃତକଳ୍ପ ଜଣେ ବ୍ୟକ୍ତିଙ୍କଠାରୁ ଆକାଶର ନକ୍ଷତ୍ରଗଣ ପରି ଅସଂଖ୍ୟ ଓ ସମୁଦ୍ରତୀରସ୍ଥ ବାଲୁକା ପରି ଅଗଣ୍ୟ ଏକ ଜାତି ଉତ୍ପନ୍ନ ହେଲା।
13 It was while they still trusted in God that all those people died. Even though they had not yet received the things that God had promised to give them, [it was as though] they saw those things in a distance. They were glad [to know] about what God promised. It was as though they admitted that they were not from this earth, but that they were only here temporarily.
ଏସମସ୍ତେ ବିଶ୍ୱାସରେ ପ୍ରାଣତ୍ୟାଗ କଲେ; ସେମାନେ ପ୍ରତିଜ୍ଞାତ ଫଳପ୍ରାପ୍ତ ହେଲେ ନାହିଁ, ମାତ୍ର ଦୂରରୁ ତାହା ଦେଖି ଅଭିନନ୍ଦନ କଲେ ଏବଂ ପୃଥିବୀରେ ଆପଣାମାନଙ୍କୁ ବିଦେଶୀ ଓ ପ୍ରବାସୀ ବୋଲି ସ୍ୱୀକାର କଲେ।
14 As for those people who talk like that, they clearly show that they long for [a place that will become] their true native land.
କାରଣ ଯେଉଁମାନେ ଏହିପରି କଥା କହନ୍ତି, ସେମାନେ ଯେ ନିଜର ଗୋଟିଏ ଦେଶ ଅନ୍ୱେଷଣ କରୁଅଛନ୍ତି, ଏହା ପ୍ରକାଶ କରନ୍ତି।
15 If they had been thinking about [that place being] the place from which they had come, they would have taken the opportunity to return there.
ପୁଣି, ଯେଉଁ ଦେଶରୁ ସେମାନେ ବାହାରି ଆସିଥିଲେ, ଯଦି ପ୍ରକୃତରେ ସେହି ଦେଶକୁ ସ୍ମରଣ କରିଥାଆନ୍ତେ, ତାହାହେଲେ ସେମାନଙ୍କର ବାହୁଡ଼ି ଯିବାକୁ ସୁଯୋଗ ଥିଲା।
16 But, instead, they desired a better [place in which to live]; that is, they desired [a home] in heaven. So God has prepared a city for them to live [with him], and he is pleased [LIT] for them to say that he is their God.
କିନ୍ତୁ ସେମାନେ ଗୋଟିଏ ଉତ୍କୃଷ୍ଟତର, ଅର୍ଥାତ୍, ସ୍ୱର୍ଗୀୟ ଦେଶର ଆକାଂକ୍ଷା କରୁଥିଲେ; ଏହେତୁ ଈଶ୍ବର ସେମାନଙ୍କ ଈଶ୍ବର ବୋଲି ଖ୍ୟାତ ହେବାକୁ ସେମାନଙ୍କ ସମ୍ବନ୍ଧରେ ଲଜ୍ଜିତ ନୁହଁନ୍ତି, କାରଣ ସେ ସେମାନଙ୍କ ନିମନ୍ତେ ଗୋଟିଏ ନଗର ପ୍ରସ୍ତୁତ କରିଅଛନ୍ତି।
17 It was because Abraham trusted [God] that he [was ready to] kill his son Isaac as a sacrifice when [God] tested him. This same man to whom [God] promised [to give] ([a son/many descendants]) was going to sacrifice [that same son], the only son [whom his own wife had borne]!
ବିଶ୍ୱାସ ଦ୍ୱାରା ଅବ୍ରହାମ ପରୀକ୍ଷିତ ହୋଇ ଇସ୍ହାକଙ୍କୁ ଉତ୍ସର୍ଗ କଲେ, ହଁ, ଯେଉଁ ବ୍ୟକ୍ତି ପ୍ରତିଜ୍ଞାସମୂହ ପ୍ରାପ୍ତ ହୋଇଥିଲେ, ଯାହାଙ୍କୁ କୁହାଯାଇଥିଲା ଯେ,
18 It was to Abraham that God said, “It is [only] from Isaac that I will consider your family to descend.”
ଇସ୍ହାକଙ୍କଠାରୁ ତୁମ୍ଭର ବଂଶ ଖ୍ୟାତ ହେବ, ସେହି ବ୍ୟକ୍ତି ଆପଣାର ଅଦ୍ୱିତୀୟ ପୁତ୍ରଙ୍କୁ ଉତ୍ସର୍ଗ କରିବାକୁ ଯାଉଥିଲେ,
19 Abraham considered that [to fulfill that promise], God could make [Isaac] live again [even if] he had died [after Abraham sacrificed him]! The result was that when Abraham did receive Isaac back [after God told him not to harm Isaac], it was as though he received him back even after he died.
କାରଣ ଈଶ୍ବର ଯେ ମୃତମାନଙ୍କ ମଧ୍ୟରୁ ସୁଦ୍ଧା ଉତ୍ଥାପନ କରିବାକୁ ସମର୍ଥ, ଆକ୍ଷରିକ ଭାବେ, ସେ ମଧ୍ୟ ତାହାଙ୍କୁ ଦୃଷ୍ଟାନ୍ତଭାବେ ମୃତ୍ୟୁରୁ ଫେରି ପାଇଲେ।
20 It was because Isaac trusted God that he [prayed that after he died, God would] bless [his] sons Jacob and Esau.
ବିଶ୍ୱାସ ଦ୍ୱାରା ଇସ୍ହାକ ଭବିଷ୍ୟତ ବିଷୟରେ ମଧ୍ୟ ଯାକୁବ ଓ ଏଷୌଙ୍କୁ ଆଶୀର୍ବାଦ କଲେ।
21 It was because Jacob trusted God that, as he was dying, he [prayed that God would] bless each of the sons of [his own son Joseph]. He worshipped God as he leaned upon his walking stick [before he died].
ବିଶ୍ୱାସ ଦ୍ୱାରା ଯାକୁବ ମୃତ୍ୟୁ ସମୟରେ ଯୋଷେଫଙ୍କର ପ୍ରତ୍ୟେକ ପୁତ୍ରଙ୍କୁ ଆଶୀର୍ବାଦ କଲେ, ପୁଣି, ଆପଣା ଯଷ୍ଟିର ଅଗ୍ରଭାଗରେ ଆଉଜିପଡ଼ି ପ୍ରଣାମ କଲେ।
22 It was because Joseph trusted God that, when he was about to die [in Egypt], he anticipated the time when the Israelis would leave Egypt; and he instructed [that] his people [should carry] his bones [with them when they] ([left Egypt/returned to Canaan]).
ବିଶ୍ୱାସ ଦ୍ୱାରା ଯୋଷେଫ ମୃତ୍ୟୁ ସମୟରେ ଇସ୍ରାଏଲ ସନ୍ତାନମାନଙ୍କର ପ୍ରସ୍ଥାନ ବିଷୟ ଉଲ୍ଲେଖ କଲେ, ପୁଣି, ଆପଣା ଅସ୍ଥି ସମ୍ବନ୍ଧରେ ଆଜ୍ଞା ଦେଲେ।
23 It was because Moses’ father and mother trusted God that they hid [their son] for three months shortly after he was born, because they saw that he was so beautiful. They were not afraid of [disobeying] what the king of Egypt had commanded, [namely, that all the Jewish male babies must be killed].
ବିଶ୍ୱାସ ଦ୍ୱାରା ମୋଶାଙ୍କ ପିତାମାତା ତାହାଙ୍କ ଜନ୍ମ ହେବା ସମୟରେ ତାହାଙ୍କୁ ଗୋଟିଏ ସୁନ୍ଦର ପିଲା ବୋଲି ଦେଖି ରାଜାଜ୍ଞାକୁ ଭୟ ନ କରି ତିନି ମାସ ପର୍ଯ୍ୟନ୍ତ ତାହାଙ୍କୁ ଗୋପନରେ ରଖିଲେ।
24 The daughter of the [king, whom they called] Pharaoh, [raised] Moses, but when he had grown up, it was because he trusted God that he refused to [accept the privileges that would have been his if people] considered that he was (the son of the king’s daughter/the king’s own grandson).
ବିଶ୍ୱାସ ଦ୍ୱାରା ମୋଶା ବୟସପ୍ରାପ୍ତ ହେଲା ଉତ୍ତାରେ ଫାରୋଙ୍କର କନ୍ୟାଙ୍କ ପୁତ୍ର ବୋଲି ଖ୍ୟାତ ହେବାକୁ ନାସ୍ତି କଲେ;
25 He decided that it was better for others to mistreat him for a time along with the Israeli people, than to temporarily enjoy living sinfully [in the King’s palace].
ପାପର କ୍ଷଣିକ ସୁଖଭୋଗ ଅପେକ୍ଷା ଈଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କ ସହିତ ବରଂ ଦୁଃଖଭୋଗ କରିବାକୁ ସେ ପସନ୍ଦ କଲେ,
26 This is because he decided that if he suffered for the Messiah, it would be worth far more [in God’s sight] than his owning all the treasures of Egypt [that he would receive as Pharaoh’s heir. He decided that] because he looked forward to the time when [God would give him] an [eternal] reward.
ପୁଣି, ମିସରର ସମସ୍ତ ଧନ ଅପେକ୍ଷା ଖ୍ରୀଷ୍ଟଙ୍କ ନିନ୍ଦାର ସହଭାଗୀ ହେବା ଶ୍ରେଷ୍ଠତର ଧନ ବୋଲି ମନେ କଲେ, କାରଣ ସେ ଭାବି ପୁରସ୍କାର ଦାନ ପ୍ରତି ଦୃଷ୍ଟିପାତ କଲେ।
27 It was because he trusted God that he left Egypt. He was not afraid that the king would be angry [because of his doing that]. He (kept going/did not turn back) because [it was as though] he kept seeing [God], whom no one can see.
ବିଶ୍ୱାସ ଦ୍ୱାରା ସେ ରାଜାଙ୍କ କ୍ରୋଧକୁ ଭୟ ନ କରି ମିସର ପରିତ୍ୟାଗ କଲେ, ଯେଣୁ ଯେ ଅଦୃଶ୍ୟ, ତାହାଙ୍କୁ ଦର୍ଶନ କଲା ପରି ସୁସ୍ଥିର ରହିଲେ।
28 It was because Moses believed [that God would save his own people] that he instituted the [festival called] Passover. He did that [by commanding that the people should kill lambs and] sprinkle their blood [on their] doorposts. They did that in order that [the angel who] causes people to die would not kill [EUP] the oldest male Israelites [when he killed the oldest sons in each Egyptian family].
ବିଶ୍ୱାସ ଦ୍ୱାରା ସେ ନିସ୍ତାର ପର୍ବ ଓ ରକ୍ତ ସେଚନ ବିଧି ପାଳନ କଲେ, ଯେପରି ପ୍ରଥମଜାତମାନଙ୍କର ସଂହାରକ ସେମାନଙ୍କୁ ସ୍ପର୍ଶ ନ କରନ୍ତି।
29 It was because they trusted God that [when] the [Israelite] people walked through [where] the Red Sea [had been, it was] as [though they walked] on dry land! But, when the [army of] Egypt also attempted to [cross that same water], they drowned, because [the sea came back and flooded them]!
ବିଶ୍ୱାସ ଦ୍ୱାରା ସେମାନେ ଶୁଷ୍କ ଭୂମି ପାର ହେଲା ପରି ସୂଫ ସାଗରର ଭିତର ଦେଇ ପାର ହେଲେ, କିନ୍ତୁ ମିସରୀୟମାନେ ପାର ହେବାକୁ ଚେଷ୍ଟା କରିବାକୁ ଯାଇ ବୁଡ଼ି ମଲେ।
30 It was because the [Israeli] people trusted God that the walls around Jericho [city] collapsed, after the Israelis marched around the walls for seven days.
ବିଶ୍ୱାସ ଦ୍ୱାରା ଯିରୀହୋ ପ୍ରାଚୀର ସାତ ଦିନ ପର୍ଯ୍ୟନ୍ତ ଘେରିଲା ଉତ୍ତାରେ ଭୂମିସାତ୍ ହେଲା।
31 Rahab [had been] a prostitute, but because she trusted God, she did not perish with those [inside Jericho] who disobeyed [God. Joshua sent some spies] into the city [in order] to find ways to destroy it, but God saved her because she welcomed those spies [peaceably].
ବିଶ୍ୱାସ ଦ୍ୱାରା ରାହାବ ବେଶ୍ୟା ଗୁପ୍ତଚରମାନଙ୍କୁ ଆଶ୍ରୟ ଦେବାରୁ ଅନାଜ୍ଞାବହମାନଙ୍କ ସହିତ ବିନଷ୍ଟ ହେଲେ ନାହିଁ।
32 I do not know what more I should say [RHQ] [about others who trusted in God]. It would take too much time to tell about Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, Samuel, and the [other] prophets.
ଆଉ ଅଧିକ କଅଣ କହିବି? ଗିଦିୟୋନ, ବାରକ, ଶାମ୍ଶୋନ୍, ଯିପ୍ତହ, ଦାଉଦ, ଶାମୁୟେଲ ଓ ଭାବବାଦୀମାନଙ୍କ ବିଷୟ ଯଦି ମୁଁ ବର୍ଣ୍ଣନା କରେ, ତେବେ ସମୟ ଅଣ୍ଟିବ ନାହିଁ;
33 It was because they trusted God that some of them [did great things for him]. Some conquered lands ruled by powerful men. Some ruled [Israel] and justly [punished those men and nations who rebelled against God]. Some obtained [from God] the things that he promised to give them [MTY].
ବିଶ୍ୱାସ ଦ୍ୱାରା ସେମାନେ ରାଜ୍ୟଗୁଡ଼ିକ ଜୟ କଲେ, ଧର୍ମ ସାଧନ କଲେ, ପ୍ରତିଜ୍ଞାର ଫଳପ୍ରାପ୍ତ ହେଲେ, ସିଂହମାନଙ୍କ ମୁଖରୁ ବଞ୍ଚିତ ହେଲେ,
34 Some forced lions to keep their mouths shut. Some escaped from being destroyed by fire. Some of those people escaped from [being killed with] a sword [MTY]. Some of those [people who trusted God] were made strong {became mighty} again after they had once been weak. Some became powerful when they fought wars. Some caused armies [that came from foreign lands] to run away from them.
ଅଗ୍ନିର ତେଜ ନିବାରଣ କଲେ, ଖଡ୍ଗଧାରରୁ ରକ୍ଷା ପାଇଲେ, ଦୁର୍ବଳ ସମୟରେ ସବଳ ହେଲେ, ଯୁଦ୍ଧରେ ବିଜୟୀ ହେଲେ, ପୁଣି, ଅଣଯିହୁଦୀମାନଙ୍କର ସୈନ୍ୟମାନଙ୍କୁ ବିତାଡ଼ିତ କଲେ।
35 Some women [who trusted God] received [their relatives] back again when [God] ([made them live again after they had died/raised them from the dead]). But [others who trusted God] were tortured until they died. They were tortured because they refused to agree when [their captors said, “We will] release you [if you deny that you believe in God.” They refused to do that], because they wanted to live with God forever, which is better than [continuing to live on earth] after having almost died.
ସ୍ତ୍ରୀଲୋକମାନେ ଆପଣା ଆପଣା ମୃତମାନଙ୍କୁ ପୁନରୁତ୍ଥାନ ଦ୍ୱାରା ପ୍ରାପ୍ତ ହେଲେ; ଅନ୍ୟମାନେ ଉତ୍କୃଷ୍ଟତର ପୁନରୁତ୍ଥାନ ପ୍ରାପ୍ତ ହେବା ନିମନ୍ତେ ଉଦ୍ଧାର ପାଇବାକୁ ଇଚ୍ଛା ନ କରି ମହାଯନ୍ତ୍ରଣା ଭୋଗ କଲେ।
36 Other [people who trusted God] were mocked; [some had their backs] cut [open by being struck] with leaded whips. Some were chained and put in prison.
ଅନ୍ୟମାନେ ବିଦ୍ରୂପ, କୋରଡ଼ା ପ୍ରହାର, ହଁ, ବନ୍ଧନ ଓ କାରାବାସ ଦ୍ୱାରା ସୁଦ୍ଧା ପରୀକ୍ଷିତ ହେଲେ;
37 [Some of] those believers were stoned to death {People [killed some of those believers by] throwing stones at them}. Others were cut completely in two. Others were killed with swords. Others of these people who trusted God wandered around the land [wearing garments made only of] skins from sheep and goats. They did not have any money. They were continually oppressed and tormented {People continuously oppressed them and tormented them}.
କେହି ଅବା ପ୍ରସ୍ତରାଘାତରେ ହତ, କେହି ଅବା ନିର୍ଯ୍ୟାତିତ, କେହି କରତ ଦ୍ୱାରା ଦ୍ୱିଖଣ୍ଡିତ, ପୁଣି, କେହି ଅବା ଖଡ୍ଗ ଦ୍ୱାରା ନିହତ ହେଲେ, କେହି କେହି ମେଷ ଓ ଛାଗଳର ଚର୍ମରେ ଆଚ୍ଛାଦିତ, ଅଭାବଗ୍ରସ୍ତ, କ୍ଳିଷ୍ଟ ଓ ତାଡନାପ୍ରାପ୍ତ ହୋଇ
38 [The people on earth who caused those who trusted in God to suffer were so bad that] they did not deserve [to live with people who trusted God. Some who trusted God] wandered in deserts and on mountains. Some lived in caves and in other [large] holes in the ground.
ପ୍ରାନ୍ତର, ପର୍ବତ, ଗୁହା, ପୁଣି, ପୃଥିବୀର ଗହ୍ୱର ଭ୍ରମଣ କଲେ; ଜଗତ ସେମାନଙ୍କର ଯୋଗ୍ୟ ନ ଥିଲା।
39 Although all these people were commended [by God] {[God] commended all these people} because they trusted him, God did not give them all that he promised them [while they were alive].
ବିଶ୍ୱାସ ଦ୍ୱାରା ଏହି ସମସ୍ତେ ସୁଖ୍ୟାତି ଲାଭ କରି ସୁଦ୍ଧା ପ୍ରତିଜ୍ଞାର ଫଳପ୍ରାପ୍ତ ହେଲେ ନାହିଁ,
40 God knew ahead of time that what he would give us and them [later] would be better than giving [them immediately what he promised]. What God intends is that only when they and we are together will we have all that God intends us to have.
ଯେଣୁ ଈଶ୍ବର ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ନିମନ୍ତେ ଉତ୍କୃଷ୍ଟତର ବିଷୟ ପ୍ରସ୍ତୁତ କରି ରଖିଥିଲେ, ଯେପରି ସେମାନେ ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ବିନା ସିଦ୍ଧ ଲାଭ ନ କରନ୍ତି।
