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.
Ora, a fé é o firme fundamento das coisas que se esperam, e a prova das coisas que se não vêem.
2 It was because our ancestors trusted in God that they pleased him.
Porque por ella os antigos alcançaram testemunho.
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)
Pela fé entendemos que os seculos pela palavra de Deus foram creados; de maneira que as coisas que se vêem não foram feitas das que se viam. (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].
Pela fé Abel offereceu a Deus maior sacrificio do que Caim, pela qual alcançou testemunho de que era justo, porquanto Deus deu testemunho dos seus dons, e, depois de morto, ainda falla por ella.
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.
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 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.
Ora, sem fé é impossivel agradar a Deus: porque é necessario que aquelle que se approxima de Deus creia que elle existe, e que é galardoador dos que o buscam.
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.
Pela fé Noé, divinamente advertido das coisas que ainda se não viam, temeu, e, para salvação da sua familia, fabricou a arca, pela qual condemnou o mundo, e foi feito herdeiro da justiça que é segundo a fé.
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.
Pela fé Abrahão, sendo chamado, obedeceu, para sair ao logar que havia de receber por herança; e saiu, sem saber para onde ia
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.
Pela fé habitou na terra da promessa, como em terra alheia, morando em cabanas com Isaac e Jacob, herdeiros com elle da mesma promessa.
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].
Porque esperava a cidade que tem fundamentos, da qual o artifice e fabricador é Deus.
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.
Pela fé tambem a mesma Sarah recebeu a virtude de conceber, e deu á luz já fóra da edade; porquanto teve por fiel aquelle que lh'o tinha promettido.
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].
Pelo que tambem de um, e esse já amortecido, nasceram em tão grande multidão como as estrellas do céu, e como a areia innumeravel que está na praia do mar.
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.
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 As for those people who talk like that, they clearly show that they long for [a place that will become] their true native land.
Porque os que isto dizem claramente mostram que buscam outra patria.
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.
E se, na verdade, se lembrassem d'aquella d'onde haviam saido, teriam tempo de tornar para ella.
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.
Mas agora desejam uma melhor, isto é, a celestial. Pelo que tambem Deus se não envergonha d'elles, de se chamar seu Deus, porque já lhes apparelhou uma cidade.
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]!
Pela fé offereceu Abrahão a Isaac, quando foi provado; e aquelle que recebera as promessas offereceu o seu unigenito,
18 It was to Abraham that God said, “It is [only] from Isaac that I will consider your family to descend.”
Sendo-lhe dito: Em Isaac será chamada a tua descendencia; considerando que Deus era poderoso para até dos mortos o resuscitar.
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.
Por onde tambem em similhança o tornou a recobrar.
20 It was because Isaac trusted God that he [prayed that after he died, God would] bless [his] sons Jacob and Esau.
Pela fé Isaac abençoou Jacob e Esaú, no tocante ás coisas futuras.
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].
Pela fé Jacob, proximo da morte, abençoou cada um dos filhos de José, e adorou encostado á ponta do seu bordão.
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]).
Pela fé José, proximo da morte, fez menção da saida dos filhos de Israel, e deu ordem ácerca de seus ossos.
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].
Pela fé Moysés, já nascido, foi escondido tres mezes por seus paes, porque viram que era um formoso menino; e não temeram o mandamento do rei
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).
Pela fé Moysés, sendo já grande, recusou ser chamado filho da filha de Pharaó,
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].
Escolhendo antes ser maltratado com o povo de Deus de que por um pouco de tempo ter o gozo do peccado;
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.
Tendo por maiores riquezas o vituperio de Christo do que os thesouros do Egypto; porque tinha em vista a recompensa.
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.
Pela fé deixou o Egypto, não temendo a ira do rei; porque esteve firme, como vendo o invisivel.
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].
Pela fé celebrou a paschoa e o derramamento de sangue, para que o destruidor dos primogenitos os não tocasse.
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]!
Pela fé passaram o Mar Vermelho, como por terra secca; o que intentando os egypcios, se afogaram.
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.
Pela fé cairam os muros de Jericó, sendo sitiados durante sete dias.
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].
Pela fé Rahab, a meretriz, não pereceu com os incredulos, acolhendo em paz os espias.
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.
E que mais direi? Faltar-me-hia o tempo, contando de Gideon, e de Barac, e de Sansão, e de Jefthe, e de David, e de Samuel e dos prophetas:
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].
Os quaes pela fé venceram reinos, exercitaram justiça, alcançaram promessas, fecharam as boccas dos leões,
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.
Apagaram a força do fogo, escaparam do fio da espada, da fraqueza tiraram forças, na batalha se esforçaram, pozeram em fugida os exercitos dos estranhos.
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.
As mulheres tornaram a receber pela resurreição os seus mortos, e outros foram estirados, não acceitando o seu livramento, para alcançarem uma melhor resurreição.
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.
E outros experimentaram escarneos e açoites, e até cadeias e prisões;
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}.
Foram apedrejados, serrados, tentados, mortos ao fio da espada; andaram vestidos de pelles de ovelhas e de cabras, desamparados, afflictos e maltratados
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.
(Dos quaes o mundo não era digno), errantes pelos desertos, e montes, e covas e cavernas da terra.
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].
E todos estes, tendo testemunho pela fé, não alcançaram a promessa:
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.
Provendo Deus alguma coisa melhor a nosso respeito, para que sem nós não fossem aperfeiçoados.
