Hebrews 11
1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
| أَمَّا الإِيمَانُ، فَهُوَ الثِّقَةُ بِمَا نَرْجُوهُ، وَالاقْتِنَاعُ بِأَنَّ مَا لَا نَرَاهُ مَوْجُودٌ حَقّاً. | ١ |
2 For by it the elders obtained a good report.
| بِهَذَا الإِيمَانِ، كَسَبَ رِجَالُ اللهِ قَدِيماً شَهَادَةً حَسَنَةً أَمَامَ اللهِ وَالنَّاسِ. | ٢ |
3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which appeared. (aiōn g165)
| وَعَنْ طَرِيقِ الإِيمَانِ، نُدْرِكُ أَنَّ الْكَوْنَ كُلَّهُ قَدْ خَرَجَ إِلَى الْوُجُودِ بِكَلِمَةِ أَمْرٍ مِنَ اللهِ. حَتَّى إِنَّ عَالَمَنَا الْمَنْظُورَ، قَدْ تَكَوَّنَ مِنْ أُمُورٍ غَيْرِ مَنْظُورَةٍ! (aiōn g165) | ٣ |
4 By faith Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained testimony that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.
| بِالإِيمَانِ، قَدَّمَ هَابِيلُ لِلهِ ذَبِيحَةً أَفْضَلَ مِنْ تِلْكَ الَّتِي قَدَّمَهَا قَايِينُ. وَعَلَى ذَلِكَ الأَسَاسِ، شَهِدَ اللهُ بِأَنَّ هَابِيلَ بَارٌّ، إِذْ قَبِلَ التَّقْدِمَةَ الَّتِي قَدَّمَهَا لَهُ. وَمَعَ أَنَّ هَابِيلَ مَاتَ قَتْلاً، فَإِنَّهُ مَازَالَ الآنَ يُلَقِّنُنَا الْعِبَرَ بِإِيمَانِهِ. | ٤ |
5 By faith Enoch was translated, that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.
| وَبِالإِيمَانِ، انْتَقَلَ أَخْنُوخُ إِلَى حَضْرَةِ اللهِ دُونَ أَنْ يَمُوتَ. وَقَدِ اخْتَفَى مِنْ عَلَى هَذِهِ الأَرْضِ لأَنَّ اللهَ أَخَذَهُ إِلَيْهِ. وَقَبْلَ حُدُوثِ ذلِكَ، شُهِدَ لَهُ بِأَنَّهُ قَدْ أَرْضَى اللهَ. | ٥ |
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 them that diligently seek him.
| فَمِنَ الْمُسْتَحِيلِ إِرْضَاءَ اللهِ بِدُونِ إِيمَانٍ. إِذْ إِنَّ مَنْ يَتَقَرَّبُ إِلَى اللهِ، لابُدَّ لَهُ أَنْ يُؤْمِنَ بِأَنَّهُ مَوْجُودٌ، وَبِأَنَّهُ يُكَافِئُ الَّذِينَ يَسْعَوْنَ إِلَيْهِ. | ٦ |
7 By faith Noah, being warned by God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.
| وَبِالإِيمَانِ نُوحٌ، لَمَّا أَنْذَرَهُ اللهُ عَنْ طَرِيقِ الْوَحْيِ بِالطُّوفَانِ الآتِي، دَفَعَهُ خَوْفُ اللهِ إِلَى بِنَاءِ سَفِينَةٍ ضَخْمَةٍ كَانَتْ وَسِيلَةَ النَّجَاةِ لَهُ وَلِعَائِلَتِهِ، مَعَ أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ قَدْ رَأَى طُوفَاناً مِنْ قَبْلُ. وَبِعَمَلِهِ هَذَا، حَكَمَ عَلَى الْعَالَمِ وَأَصْبَحَ وَارِثاً لِلْبِرِّ الْقَائِمِ عَلَى أَسَاسِ الإِيمَانِ. | ٧ |
8 By faith Abraham, when he was called to remove into a place which he should afterwards receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out not knowing whither he was going.
| وَبِالإِيمَانِ، لَبَّى إِبْرَاهِيمُ دَعْوَةَ اللهِ، فَتَرَكَ وَطَنَهُ وَانْطَلَقَ إِلَى أَرْضٍ أُخْرَى وَعَدَهُ اللهُ بِأَنْ يُوَرِّثَهُ إِيَّاهَا. وَلَمَّا خَرَجَ مِنْ بَيْتِهِ، لَمْ يَكُنْ يَعْرِفُ أَيْنَ يَتَوَجَّهُ. | ٨ |
9 By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as [in] a foreign country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise:
| وَبِالإِيمَانِ، كَانَ يَرْحَلُ كَالْغَرِيبِ مِنْ مَكَانٍ إِلَى آخَرَ فِي الأَرْضِ الَّتِي وَعَدَهُ اللهُ بِها، وَكَأَنَّهَا أَرْضٌ غَرِيبَةٌ. وَكَانَ يَسْكُنُ فِي الْخِيَامِ مَعَ إِسْحَاقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ، شَرِيكَيْهِ فِي إِرْثِ الْوَعْدِ عَيْنِهِ. | ٩ |
10 For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker [is] God.
| فَإِنَّهُ كَانَ يَنْتَظِرُ الانْتِقَالَ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ السَّمَاوِيَّةِ ذَاتِ الأُسُسِ الثَّابِتَةِ، الَّتِي صَانِعُهَا وَبَانِيهَا هُوَ اللهُ. | ١٠ |
11 Through faith also Sarah herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised.
| وَبِالإِيمَانِ أَيْضاً، نَالَتْ سَارَةُ زَوْجَةُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قُدْرَةً عَلَى الإِنْجَابِ، فَوَلَدَتِ ابْناً مَعَ أَنَّهَا كَانَتْ قَدْ جَاوَزَتْ سِنَّ الْحَمْلِ. وَذَلِكَ لأَنَّهَا آمَنَتْ بِأَنَّ اللهَ، الَّذِي وَعَدَهَا بِذَلِكَ، لابُدَّ أَنْ يُحَقِّقَ وَعْدَهُ. | ١١ |
12 Therefore there sprang even from one, and him as good as dead, [so many] as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea-shore innumerable.
| وَهكَذَا وُلِدَ مِنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، وَقَدْ كَانَ مَيِّتاً مِنْ حَيْثُ الْقُدْرَةِ عَلَى الإِنْجَابِ، شَعْبٌ كَبِيرٌ «كَنُجُومِ الْفَضَاءِ عَدَداً، وَكَالرَّمْلِ الَّذِي عَلَى شَطِّ الْبَحْرِ، لَا يُحْصَى». | ١٢ |
13 These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of [them], and embraced [them], and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.
| هَؤُلاءِ جَمِيعاً، حَافَظُوا عَلَى إِيمَانِهِمْ إِلَى النِّهَايَةِ. وَمَاتُوا قَبْلَ أَنْ تَتَحَقَّقَ وُعُودُ اللهِ لَهُمْ فِي أَثْنَاءِ حَيَاتِهِمْ. وَلَكِنَّهُمْ رَأَوْهَا مِنْ بَعِيدٍ، وَتَوَقَّعُوا تَحْقِيقَهَا كَامِلَةً فِي الْمُسْتَقْبَلِ. وَإِذْ آمَنُوا بِتِلْكَ الْوُعُودِ الإِلَهِيَّةِ اعْتَرَفُوا بِأَنَّهُمْ لَيْسُوا إِلّا غُرَبَاءَ عَلَى الأَرْضِ يَزُورُونَهَا زِيَارَةً عَابِرَةً. | ١٣ |
14 For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country.
| وَالَّذِينَ يَقُولُونَ ذَلِك، يُوْضِحُونَ أَنَّ عُيُونَهُمْ عَلَى وَطَنِهِمِ الْحَقِيقِيِّ. | ١٤ |
15 And truly, if they had been mindful of that [country] from whence they came, they might have had opportunity to return.
| وَلَوْ تَذَكَّرُوا الْوَطَنَ الأَرْضِيَّ الَّذِي هَجَرُوهُ، لاغْتَنَمُوا الْفُرْصَةَ وَعَادُوا إِلَيْهِ. | ١٥ |
16 But now they desire a better [country], that is, a heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God; for he hath prepared for them a city.
| وَلَكِنْ، لا، فَهُمُ الآنَ يَتَطَلَّعُونَ إِلَى وَطَنٍ أَفْضَلَ، أَيِ الْوَطَنِ السَّمَاوِيِّ. بِسَبَبِ إِيمَانِهِمْ هَذَا لَا يَسْتَحِي اللهُ أَنْ يُدْعَى إِلَهَهُمْ، فَهُوَ قَدْ أَعَدَّ لَهُمْ مَدِينَةً! | ١٦ |
17 By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only-begotten [son],
| وَبِالإِيمَانِ، إِبْرَاهِيمُ أَيْضاً، لَمَّا امْتَحَنَهُ اللهُ، قَدَّمَ إِسْحَاقَ ابْنَهُ. فَإِنَّهُ، إِذْ قَبِلَ وُعُودَ اللهِ، قَدَّمَ ابْنَهُ الْوَحِيدَ ذَبِيحَةً، | ١٧ |
18 Of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be called:
| مَعَ أَنَّ اللهَ قَالَ لَهُ: «بِإِسْحَاقَ سَوْفَ يَكُونُ لَكَ نَسْلٌ يَحْمِلُ اسْمَكَ!» | ١٨ |
19 Accounting that God [was] able to raise [him] even from the dead; from whence also he received him in a figure.
| فَقَدْ آمَنَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ بِأَنَّ اللهَ قَادِرٌ عَلَى إِقَامَةِ إِسْحَاقَ مِنَ الْمَوْتِ. وَالْوَاقِعُ أَنَّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ اسْتَعَادَ ابْنَهُ مِنَ الْمَوْتِ، عَلَى سَبِيلِ الْمِثَالِ أَوِ الرَّمْزِ. | ١٩ |
20 By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come.
| بِالإِيمَانِ، بَارَكَ إِسْحَاقُ يَعْقُوبَ وَعِيسُو. | ٢٠ |
21 By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed both the sons of Joseph; and worshiped, [leaning] upon the top of his staff.
| وَبِالإِيمَانِ، بَارَكَ يَعْقُوبُ، قُبَيْلَ مَوْتِهِ، كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ مِنِ ابْنَيْ يُوسُفَ، وَسَجَدَ مُتَوَكِّئاً عَلَى رَأْسِ عَصَاهُ. | ٢١ |
22 By faith Joseph, when he died, made mention of the departing of the children of Israel; and gave commandment concerning his bones.
| وَبِالإِيمَانِ، اسْتَنَدَ يُوسُفُ عَلَى وَعْدِ اللهِ بِإِخْرَاجِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ بِلادِ مِصْرَ، فَتَرَكَ وَصِيَّةً بِأَنْ يَنْقُلُوا رُفَاتَهُ مَعَهُمْ. | ٢٢ |
23 By faith Moses when he was born, was hid three months by his parents, because they saw [he was] a proper child; and they were not afraid of the king's commandment.
| بِالإِيمَانِ مُوسَى خَبَّأهُ وَالِدَاهُ حَتَّى صَارَ عُمْرُهُ ثَلاثَةَ أَشْهُرٍ، لأَنَّهُمَا رَأَيَاهُ طِفْلاً جَمِيلاً، وَلَمْ يَخَافَا الْمَرْسُومَ الَّذِي أَصْدَرَهُ الْمَلِكُ. | ٢٣ |
24 By faith Moses, when he had come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter;
| وَبِالإِيمَانِ، مُوسَى نَفْسُهُ، لَمَّا كَبُرَ، رَفَضَ أَنْ يُدْعَى ابْناً لاِبْنَةِ فِرْعَوْنَ. | ٢٤ |
25 Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;
| بَلِ اخْتَارَ أَنْ يتَحَمَّلَ الْمَذَلَّةَ مَعَ شَعْبِ اللهِ، بَدَلاً مِنَ التَّمَتُّعِ الْوَقْتِيِّ بِلَذَّاتِ الْخَطِيئَةِ. | ٢٥ |
26 Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt: for he had respect to the recompense of the reward.
| فَقَدِ اعْتَبَرَ أَنَّ عَارَ الْمَسِيحِ، هُوَ ثَرْوَةٌ أَعْظَمُ مِنْ كُنُوزِ مِصْرَ، لأَنَّهُ كَانَ يَتَطَلَّعُ إِلَى الْمُكَافَأَةِ. | ٢٦ |
27 By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.
| بِالإِيمَانِ، تَرَكَ أَرْضَ مِصْرَ وَهُوَ غَيْرُ خَائِفٍ مِنْ غَضَبِ الْمَلِكِ. فَقَدْ مَضَى فِي تَنْفِيذِ قَرَارِهِ، كَأَنَّهُ يَرَى بِجَانِبِهِ اللهَ غَيْرَ الْمَنْظُورِ. | ٢٧ |
28 Through faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of blood, lest he that destroyed the first-born should touch them.
| وَبِالإِيمَانِ، أَقَامَ الْفِصْحَ وَرَشَّ الدَّمَ، لِكَيْ لَا يَمَسَّ مُهْلِكُ الأَبْكَارِ أَحَداً مِنْ أَبْنَاءِ شَعْبِهِ. | ٢٨ |
29 By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry [land]: which the Egyptians essaying to do were drowned.
| بِالإِيمَانِ اجْتَازَ الشَّعْبُ فِي الْبَحْرِ الأَحْمَرِ كَأَنَّهُ أَرْضٌ يَابِسَةٌ. أَمَّا الْمِصْرِيُّونَ، فَإِذْ حَاوَلُوا ذَلِكَ غَرِقُوا! | ٢٩ |
30 By faith the walls of Jericho fell down after they had been encompassed seven days.
| بِالإِيمَانِ انْهَارَتْ أَسْوَارُ مَدِينَةِ أَرِيحَا، بَعْدَمَا دَارَ الشَّعْبُ حَوْلَهَا لِمُدَّةِ سَبْعَةِ أَيَّامٍ. | ٣٠ |
31 By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them that believed not, as she had received the spies with peace.
| وَجَزَاءً لِلإِيمَانِ، نَجَتْ رَاحَابُ الزَّانِيَةُ مِنَ الْمَوْتِ الْمُحَتَّمِ مَعَ الْمُتَمَرِّدِينَ، بَعْدَمَا اسْتَقْبَلَتِ الْجَاسُوسَيْنِ بِسَلامٍ. | ٣١ |
32 And what shall I say more? for the time would fail me to tell of Gideon, and [of] Barak, and [of] Samson, and [of] Jephthah, [of] David also, and Samuel, and [of] the prophets:
| وَهَلْ مِنْ حَاجَةٍ بَعْدُ لِمَزِيدٍ مِنَ الأَمْثِلَةِ؟ إِنَّ الْوَقْتَ لَا يَتَّسِعُ لِي حَتَّى أَسْرُدَ أَخْبَارَ الإِيمَانِ عَنْ: جِدْعُونَ وَبَارَاقَ وَشَمْشُونَ وَيَفْتَاحَ وَدَاوُدَ وَصَمُوئِيلَ وَالأَنْبِيَاءِ. | ٣٢ |
33 Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,
| فَبِالإِيمَانِ، تَغَلَّبَ هؤُلاءِ عَلَى مَمَالِكِ الأَعْدَاءِ، وَحَكَمُوا حُكْماً عَادِلاً وَنَالُوا مَا وَعَدَهُمْ بِهِ اللهُ. وَبِهِ، سَدُّوا أَفْوَاهَ الأُسُودِ، | ٣٣ |
34 Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, became valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens.
| وَأَبْطَلُوا قُوَّةَ النَّارِ، وَنَجَوْا مِنَ الْمَوْتِ قَتْلاً بِالسَّيْفِ. وَبِهِ أَيْضاً نَالُوا القُوَّةَ بَعْدَ ضَعْفٍ، فَصَارُوا أَشِدَّاءَ فِي الْمَعَارِكِ، وَرَدُّوا جُيُوشاً غَرِيبَةً عَلَى أَعْقَابِهَا. | ٣٤ |
35 Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection:
| وَبِالإِيمَانِ، اسْتَرْجَعَتْ بَعْضُ النِّسَاءِ أَمْوَاتَهُنَّ بَعْدَمَا أُعِيدُوا إِلَى الْحَيَاةِ. وَبِهِ، تَحَمَّلَ كَثِيرُونَ الْعَذَابَ وَالضَّرْبَ، وَمَاتُوا رَافِضِينَ النَّجَاةَ، لِعِلْمِهِمْ أَنَّهُمْ سَوْفَ يَقُومُونَ إِلَى حَيَاةٍ أَفْضَلَ. | ٣٥ |
36 And others had trial of [cruel] mockings and scourgings, and, moreover of bonds and imprisonment:
| وَكَثِيرُونَ غَيْرُهُمْ تَحَمَّلُوا الْمُحَاكَمَاتِ الظَّالِمَةَ تَحْتَ الإِهَانَةِ وَالْجَلْدِ، وَالإِلْقَاءَ فِي السُّجُونِ مُقَيَّدِينَ بِالسَّلاسِلِ. | ٣٦ |
37 They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheep-skins, and goat-skins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented;
| وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ حُوكِمُوا فَمَاتُوا رَجْماً بِالْحِجَارَةِ، أَوْ نَشْراً بِالْمِنْشَارِ، أَوْ ذَبْحاً بِالسَّيْفِ. وَبَعْضُهُمْ، تَشَرَّدُوا مُتَسَتِّرِينَ بِجُلُودِ الْغَنَمِ وَالْمِعْزَى، يُعَانُونَ مِنَ الْحَاجَةِ وَالضِّيقِ وَالظُّلْمِ، | ٣٧ |
38 (Of whom the world was not worthy: ) they wandered in deserts, and [in] mountains, and [in] dens and caves of the earth.
| وَلَمْ يَكُنِ الْعَالَمُ يَسْتَحِقُّهُمْ، تَائِهِينَ فِي الْبَرَارِي وَالْجِبَالِ وَالْمَغَاوِرِ وَالْكُهُوفِ. | ٣٨ |
39 And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise:
| إِنَّ هؤُلاءِ لَمْ يَحْصُلُوا جَمِيعاً عَلَى تَحْقِيقِ كُلِّ مَا وَعَدَهُمُ اللهُ بِهِ، مَعَ أَنَّهُمْ حَاصِلُونَ عَلَى شَهَادَةٍ حَسَنَةٍ مِنْ جِهَةِ الإِيمَانِ. | ٣٩ |
40 God having provided some better [thing] for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.
| وَلَكِنَّ اللهَ سَبَقَ فَأَعَدَّ لَنَا مَا هُوَ أَفْضَلُ، وَذَلِكَ حَتَّى لَا يُكَمَّلُوا بِمَعْزِلٍ عَنَّا. | ٤٠ |
