Hebrews 11
1 And faith is of things hoped for a confidence, of matters not seen a conviction,
Est autem fides sperandarum substantia rerum, argumentum non apparentium.
2 for in this were the elders testified of;
In hac enim testimonium consecuti sunt senes.
3 by faith we understand the ages to have been prepared by a saying of God, in regard to the things seen not having come out of things appearing; (aiōn g165)
Fide intelligimus aptata esse sæcula verbo Dei: ut ex invisibilibus visibilia fierent. (aiōn g165)
4 by faith a better sacrifice did Abel offer to God than Cain, through which he was testified to be righteous, God testifying of his gifts, and through it, he being dead, doth yet speak.
Fide plurimam hostiam Abel, quam Cain, obtulit Deo, per quam testimonium consecutus est esse justus, testimonium perhibente muneribus ejus Deo, et per illam defunctus adhuc loquitur.
5 By faith Enoch was translated — not to see death, and was not found, because God did translate him; for before his translation he had been testified to — that he had pleased God well,
Fide Henoch translatus est ne videret mortem, et non inveniebatur, quia transtulit illum Deus: ante translationem enim testimonium habuit placuisse Deo.
6 and apart from faith it is impossible to please well, for it behoveth him who is coming to God to believe that He is, and to those seeking Him He becometh a rewarder.
Sine fide autem impossibile est placere Deo. Credere enim oportet accedentem ad Deum quia est, et inquirentibus se remunerator sit.
7 By faith Noah, having been divinely warned concerning the things not yet seen, having feared, did prepare an ark to the salvation of his house, through which he did condemn the world, and of the righteousness according to faith he became heir.
Fide Noë responso accepto de iis quæ adhuc non videbantur, metuens aptavit arcam in salutem domus suæ, per quam damnavit mundum: et justitiæ, quæ per fidem est, hæres est institutus.
8 By faith Abraham, being called, did obey, to go forth to the place that he was about to receive for an inheritance, and he went forth, not knowing whither he doth go;
Fide qui vocatur Abraham obedivit in locum exire, quem accepturus erat in hæreditatem: et exiit, nesciens quo iret.
9 by faith he did sojourn in the land of the promise as a strange country, in tabernacles having dwelt with Isaac and Jacob, fellow-heirs of the same promise,
Fide demoratus est in terra repromissionis, tamquam in aliena, in casulis habitando cum Isaac et Jacob cohæredibus repromissionis ejusdem.
10 for he was looking for the city having the foundations, whose artificer and constructor [is] God.
Exspectabat enim fundamenta habentem civitatem: cujus artifex et conditor Deus.
11 By faith also Sarah herself did receive power to conceive seed, and she bare after the time of life, seeing she did judge Him faithful who did promise;
Fide et ipsa Sara sterilis virtutem in conceptionem seminis accepit, etiam præter tempus ætatis: quoniam fidelem credidit esse eum qui repromiserat.
12 wherefore, also from one were begotten — and that of one who had become dead — as the stars of the heaven in multitude, and as sand that [is] by the sea-shore — the innumerable.
Propter quod et ab uno orti sunt (et hoc emortuo) tamquam sidera cæli in multitudinem, et sicut arena, quæ est ad oram maris, innumerabilis.
13 In faith died all these, not having received the promises, but from afar having seen them, and having been persuaded, and having saluted [them], and having confessed that strangers and sojourners they are upon the earth,
Juxta fidem defuncti sunt omnes isti, non acceptis repromissionibus, sed a longe eas aspicientes, et salutantes, et confitentes quia peregrini et hospites sunt super terram.
14 for those saying such things make manifest that they seek a country;
Qui enim hæc dicunt, significant se patriam inquirere.
15 and if, indeed, they had been mindful of that from which they came forth, they might have had an opportunity to return,
Et si quidem ipsius meminissent de qua exierunt, habebant utique tempus revertendi:
16 but now they long for a better, that is, an heavenly, wherefore God is not ashamed of them, to be called their God, for He did prepare for them a city.
nunc autem meliorem appetunt, id est, cælestem. Ideo non confunditur Deus vocari Deus eorum: paravit enim illis civitatem.
17 By faith Abraham hath offered up Isaac, being tried, and the only begotten he did offer up who did receive the promises,
Fide obtulit Abraham Isaac, cum tentaretur, et unigenitum offerebat, qui susceperat repromissiones:
18 of whom it was said — 'In Isaac shall a seed be called to thee;'
ad quem dictum est: Quia in Isaac vocabitur tibi semen:
19 reckoning that even out of the dead God is able to raise up, whence also in a figure he did receive [him].
arbitrans quia et a mortuis suscitare potens est Deus: unde eum et in parabolam accepit.
20 By faith, concerning coming things, Isaac did bless Jacob and Esau;
Fide et de futuris benedixit Isaac Jacob et Esau.
21 by faith Jacob dying — each of the sons of Joseph did bless, and did bow down upon the top of his staff;
Fide Jacob, moriens, singulos filiorum Joseph benedixit: et adoravit fastigium virgæ ejus.
22 by faith, Joseph dying, concerning the outgoing of the sons of Israel did make mention, and concerning his bones did give command.
Fide Joseph, moriens, de profectione filiorum Israël memoratus est, et de ossibus suis mandavit.
23 By faith Moses, having been born, was hid three months by his parents, because they saw the child comely, and were not afraid of the decree of the king;
Fide Moyses, natus, occultatus est mensibus tribus a parentibus suis, eo quod vidissent elegantem infantem, et non timuerunt regis edictum.
24 by faith Moses, having become great, did refuse to be called a son of the daughter of Pharaoh,
Fide Moyses grandis factus negavit se esse filium filiæ Pharaonis,
25 having chosen rather to be afflicted with the people of God, than to have sin's pleasure for a season,
magis eligens affligi cum populo Dei, quam temporalis peccati habere jucunditatem,
26 greater wealth having reckoned the reproach of the Christ than the treasures in Egypt, for he did look to the recompense of reward;
majores divitias æstimans thesauro Ægyptiorum, improperium Christi: aspiciebat enim in remunerationem.
27 by faith he left Egypt behind, not having been afraid of the wrath of the king, for, as seeing the Invisible One — he endured;
Fide reliquit Ægyptum, non veritus animositatem regis: invisibilem enim tamquam videns sustinuit.
28 by faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of the blood, that He who is destroying the first-born might not touch them.
Fide celebravit Pascha, et sanguinis effusionem: ne qui vastabat primitiva, tangeret eos.
29 By faith they did pass through the Red Sea as through dry land, which the Egyptians having received a trial of, were swallowed up;
Fide transierunt mare Rubrum tamquam per aridam terram: quod experti Ægyptii, devorati sunt.
30 by faith the walls of Jericho did fall, having been surrounded for seven days;
Fide muri Jericho corruerunt, circuitu dierum septem.
31 by faith Rahab the harlot did not perish with those who disbelieved, having received the spies with peace.
Fide Rahab meretrix non periit cum incredulis, excipiens exploratores cum pace.
32 And what shall I yet say? for the time will fail me recounting about Gideon, Barak also, and Samson, and Jephthah, David also, and Samuel, and the prophets,
Et quid adhuc dicam? deficiet enim me tempus enarrantem de Gedeon, Barac, Samson, Jephte, David, Samuel, et prophetis:
33 who through faith did subdue kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped mouths of lions,
qui per fidem vicerunt regna, operati sunt justitiam, adepti sunt repromissiones, obturaverunt ora leonum,
34 quenched the power of fire, escaped the mouth of the sword, were made powerful out of infirmities, became strong in battle, caused to give way camps of the aliens.
extinxerunt impetum ignis, effugerunt aciem gladii, convaluerunt de infirmitate, fortes facti sunt in bello, castra verterunt exterorum:
35 Women received by a rising again their dead, and others were tortured, not accepting the redemption, that a better rising again they might receive,
acceperunt mulieres de resurrectione mortuos suos: alii autem distenti sunt non suscipientes redemptionem ut meliorem invenirent resurrectionem.
36 and others of mockings and scourgings did receive trial, and yet of bonds and imprisonment;
Alii vero ludibria, et verbera experti, insuper et vincula, et carceres:
37 they were stoned, they were sawn asunder, they were tried; in the killing of the sword they died; they went about in sheepskins, in goatskins — being destitute, afflicted, injuriously treated,
lapidati sunt, secti sunt, tentati sunt, in occisione gladii mortui sunt, circuierunt in melotis, in pellibus caprinis, egentes, angustiati, afflicti:
38 of whom the world was not worthy; in deserts wandering, and [in] mountains, and [in] caves, and [in] the holes of the earth;
quibus dignus non erat mundus: in solitudinibus errantes, in montibus, in speluncis, et in cavernis terræ.
39 and these all, having been testified to through the faith, did not receive the promise,
Et hi omnes testimonio fidei probati, non acceperunt repromissionem,
40 God for us something better having provided, that apart from us they might not be made perfect.
Deo pro nobis melius aliquid providente, ut non sine nobis consummarentur.
