Hebrews 11
1 Now faith is the confident expectation of things hoped for, and a conviction of things not seen:
viśvāsa āśaṁsitānāṁ niścayaḥ, adr̥śyānāṁ viṣayāṇāṁ darśanaṁ bhavati|
2 for by it the ancients obtained an honorable testimony.
tēna viśvāsēna prāñcō lōkāḥ prāmāṇyaṁ prāptavantaḥ|
3 By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, for the things which are seen were not made of things which appear. (aiōn g165)
aparam īśvarasya vākyēna jagantyasr̥jyanta, dr̥ṣṭavastūni ca pratyakṣavastubhyō nōdapadyantaitad vayaṁ viśvāsēna budhyāmahē| (aiōn g165)
4 By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained the testimony that he was righteous, God bearing witness to his gifts: and by it, though dead, he yet speaketh.
viśvāsēna hābil īśvaramuddiśya kābilaḥ śrēṣṭhaṁ balidānaṁ kr̥tavān tasmāccēśvarēṇa tasya dānānyadhi pramāṇē dattē sa dhārmmika ityasya pramāṇaṁ labdhavān tēna viśvāsēna ca sa mr̥taḥ san adyāpi bhāṣatē|
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:
viśvāsēna hanōk yathā mr̥tyuṁ na paśyēt tathā lōkāntaraṁ nītaḥ, tasyōddēśaśca kēnāpi na prāpi yata īśvarastaṁ lōkāntaraṁ nītavān, tatpramāṇamidaṁ tasya lōkāntarīkaraṇāt pūrvvaṁ sa īśvarāya rōcitavān iti pramāṇaṁ prāptavān|
6 whereas without faith it is impossible to please Him; for he that cometh to God must believe, that He is, and is the rewarder of them that diligently seek Him.
kintu viśvāsaṁ vinā kō'pīśvarāya rōcituṁ na śaknōti yata īśvarō'sti svānvēṣilōkēbhyaḥ puraskāraṁ dadāti cētikathāyām īśvaraśaraṇāgatai rviśvasitavyaṁ|
7 By faith Noah being warned by God of things which were not yet seen, moved with pious fear, prepared an ark for the safety of his family; whereby he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.
aparaṁ tadānīṁ yānyadr̥śyānyāsan tānīśvarēṇādiṣṭaḥ san nōhō viśvāsēna bhītvā svaparijanānāṁ rakṣārthaṁ pōtaṁ nirmmitavān tēna ca jagajjanānāṁ dōṣān darśitavān viśvāsāt labhyasya puṇyasyādhikārī babhūva ca|
8 By faith Abraham when called to go out to a place which he was afterwards to receive for an inheritance obeyed: and went out, though he knew not whither he was going.
viśvāsēnēbrāhīm āhūtaḥ san ājñāṁ gr̥hītvā yasya sthānasyādhikārastēna prāptavyastat sthānaṁ prasthitavān kintu prasthānasamayē kka yāmīti nājānāt|
9 By faith he sojourned in the land promised him, as in a foreign country, dwelling in tents, as did Isaac and Jacob the heirs with him of the same promise.
viśvāsēna sa pratijñātē dēśē paradēśavat pravasan tasyāḥ pratijñāyāḥ samānāṁśibhyām ishākā yākūbā ca saha dūṣyavāsyabhavat|
10 For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose maker and founder is God.
yasmāt sa īśvarēṇa nirmmitaṁ sthāpitañca bhittimūlayuktaṁ nagaraṁ pratyaikṣata|
11 By faith also Sarah received strength to conceive seed, and brought forth a son when she was past age, because she accounted Him faithful who had promised.
aparañca viśvāsēna sārā vayōtikrāntā santyapi garbhadhāraṇāya śaktiṁ prāpya putravatyabhavat, yataḥ sā pratijñākāriṇaṁ viśvāsyam amanyata|
12 So that there descended even from one, and him in a manner dead, a posterity like the stars of heaven for multitude, and as the sand on the sea shore, innumerable.
tatō hētō rmr̥takalpād ēkasmāt janād ākāśīyanakṣatrāṇīva gaṇanātītāḥ samudratīrasthasikatā iva cāsaṁkhyā lōkā utpēdirē|
13 These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but seen them from afar, and been persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and sojourners on the earth.
ētē sarvvē pratijñāyāḥ phalānyaprāpya kēvalaṁ dūrāt tāni nirīkṣya vanditvā ca, pr̥thivyāṁ vayaṁ vidēśinaḥ pravāsinaścāsmaha iti svīkr̥tya viśvāsēna prāṇān tatyajuḥ|
14 Now they that say such things shew plainly that they are seeking their own country:
yē tu janā itthaṁ kathayanti taiḥ paitr̥kadēśō 'smābhiranviṣyata iti prakāśyatē|
15 and if they had been mindful of that from which they came, they might have had opportunity to have returned.
tē yasmād dēśāt nirgatāstaṁ yadyasmariṣyan tarhi parāvarttanāya samayam alapsyanta|
16 But they desire a better, that is, an heavenly one; wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God; for He hath prepared for them a city.
kintu tē sarvvōtkr̥ṣṭam arthataḥ svargīyaṁ dēśam ākāṅkṣanti tasmād īśvarastānadhi na lajjamānastēṣām īśvara iti nāma gr̥hītavān yataḥ sa tēṣāṁ kr̥tē nagaramēkaṁ saṁsthāpitavān|
17 By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he who had received the promises, offered up his only son;
aparam ibrāhīmaḥ parīkṣāyāṁ jātāyāṁ sa viśvāsēnēshākam utsasarja,
18 of whom it was told him, that in Isaac shall thy seed be called:
vastuta ishāki tava vaṁśō vikhyāsyata iti vāg yamadhi kathitā tam advitīyaṁ putraṁ pratijñāprāptaḥ sa utsasarja|
19 concluding that God was able to raise him even from the dead; from whence indeed he had in a manner received him.
yata īśvarō mr̥tānapyutthāpayituṁ śaknōtīti sa mēnē tasmāt sa upamārūpaṁ taṁ lēbhē|
20 By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things future.
aparam ishāk viśvāsēna yākūb ēṣāvē ca bhāviviṣayānadhyāśiṣaṁ dadau|
21 By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph; and worshipped leaning on the top of his staff.
aparaṁ yākūb maraṇakālē viśvāsēna yūṣaphaḥ putrayōrēkaikasmai janāyāśiṣaṁ dadau yaṣṭyā agrabhāgē samālambya praṇanāma ca|
22 By faith Joseph when he died, mentioned the departure of the children of Israel and gave a charge concerning his bones.
aparaṁ yūṣaph caramakālē viśvāsēnēsrāyēlvaṁśīyānāṁ misaradēśād bahirgamanasya vācaṁ jagāda nijāsthīni cādhi samādidēśa|
23 By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months by his parents, because they saw he was a fine child, and they were not afraid of the king's edict.
navajātō mūsāśca viśvāsāt trān māsān svapitr̥bhyām agōpyata yatastau svaśiśuṁ paramasundaraṁ dr̥ṣṭavantau rājājñāñca na śaṅkitavantau|
24 By faith Moses, when he was grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter;
aparaṁ vayaḥprāptō mūsā viśvāsāt phirauṇō dauhitra iti nāma nāṅgīcakāra|
25 chusing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to have the temporary enjoyment of sin:
yataḥ sa kṣaṇikāt pāpajasukhabhōgād īśvarasya prajābhiḥ sārddhaṁ duḥkhabhōgaṁ vavrē|
26 esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt, for he looked to the recompence of reward.
tathā misaradēśīyanidhibhyaḥ khrīṣṭanimittāṁ nindāṁ mahatīṁ sampattiṁ mēnē yatō hētōḥ sa puraskāradānam apaikṣata|
27 By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he continued firm as seeing Him who is invisible.
aparaṁ sa viśvāsēna rājñaḥ krōdhāt na bhītvā misaradēśaṁ paritatyāja, yatastēnādr̥śyaṁ vīkṣamāṇēnēva dhairyyam ālambi|
28 By faith he observed the passover and sprinkling of the blood, that he, who destroyed the first-born of the Egyptians, might not touch them.
aparaṁ prathamajātānāṁ hantā yat svīyalōkān na spr̥śēt tadarthaṁ sa viśvāsēna nistāraparvvīyabalicchēdanaṁ rudhirasēcanañcānuṣṭhitāvān|
29 By faith they passed through the Red-sea, as by dry land, which the Egyptians attempting to do were drowned.
aparaṁ tē viśvāsāt sthalēnēva sūphsāgarēṇa jagmuḥ kintu misrīyalōkāstat karttum upakramya tōyēṣu mamajjuḥ|
30 By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they had been encompassed seven days.
aparañca viśvāsāt taiḥ saptāhaṁ yāvad yirīhōḥ prācīrasya pradakṣiṇē kr̥tē tat nipapāta|
31 By faith Rahab the harlot perished not with the unbelievers, having received the spies with peace.
viśvāsād rāhabnāmikā vēśyāpi prītyā cārān anugr̥hyāviśvāsibhiḥ sārddhaṁ na vinanāśa|
32 And what need I say more? for the time would fail me to tell of Gideon, and Barak, and Sampson, and Jephthah, and David, and Samuel, and of the prophets:
adhikaṁ kiṁ kathayiṣyāmi? gidiyōnō bārakaḥ śimśōnō yiptahō dāyūd śimūyēlō bhaviṣyadvādinaścaitēṣāṁ vr̥ttāntakathanāya mama samayābhāvō bhaviṣyati|
33 who by faith subdued kingdoms, worked righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,
viśvāsāt tē rājyāni vaśīkr̥tavantō dharmmakarmmāṇi sādhitavantaḥ pratijñānāṁ phalaṁ labdhavantaḥ siṁhānāṁ mukhāni ruddhavantō
34 quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, from weakness were made powerful, became strong in battle, and turned to flight the armies of their enemies.
vahnērdāhaṁ nirvvāpitavantaḥ khaṅgadhārād rakṣāṁ prāptavantō daurbbalyē sabalīkr̥tā yuddhē parākramiṇō jātāḥ parēṣāṁ sainyāni davayitavantaśca|
35 Women received their dead raised to life again; and others were tortured to death, not accepting deliverance, that they might obtain a better resurrection.
yōṣitaḥ punarutthānēna mr̥tān ātmajān lēbhirē, aparē ca śrēṣṭhōtthānasya prāptērāśayā rakṣām agr̥hītvā tāḍanēna mr̥tavantaḥ|
36 And others had the trial of mockings and scourgings, and of bonds too and imprisonment.
aparē tiraskāraiḥ kaśābhi rbandhanaiḥ kārayā ca parīkṣitāḥ|
37 They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain by the sword: they went about in sheep-skins, and goat-skins, being destitute, afflicted,
bahavaśca prastarāghātai rhatāḥ karapatrai rvā vidīrṇā yantrai rvā kliṣṭāḥ khaṅgadhārai rvā vyāpāditāḥ| tē mēṣāṇāṁ chāgānāṁ vā carmmāṇi paridhāya dīnāḥ pīḍitā duḥkhārttāścābhrāmyan|
38 distressed, (of whom the world was not worthy) wandering in deserts, and mountains, and dens, and caves of the earth.
saṁsārō yēṣām ayōgyastē nirjanasthānēṣu parvvatēṣu gahvarēṣu pr̥thivyāśchidrēṣu ca paryyaṭan|
39 And these all, though they obtained an honorable testimony by faith, yet received not the promise;
ētaiḥ sarvvai rviśvāsāt pramāṇaṁ prāpi kintu pratijñāyāḥ phalaṁ na prāpi|
40 God having provided something better concerning us, that without us they might not be made perfect.
yatastē yathāsmān vinā siddhā na bhavēyustathaivēśvarēṇāsmākaṁ kr̥tē śrēṣṭhataraṁ kimapi nirdidiśē|
