Hebrews 11
1 And faith is of things hoped for a confidence, of matters not seen a conviction,
Na, ko te whakapono, he whakapumautanga i nga mea e tumanakohia atu ana, he whakakitenga i nga mea kahore nei e kitea.
2 for in this were the elders testified of;
Na konei hoki nga kaumatua i korerotia paitia ai.
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)
Na te whakapono i matau ai tatou he mea hanga nga ao e te kupu a te Atua, a, ko nga mea e tirohia atu nei kihai i puta ake i roto i nga mea e kitea ana. (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.
Na te whakapono i pai ake ai i ta Kaina te patunga tapu i tapaea e Apera ki te Atua, na tena hoki i whakaatu tona tika, i whakaatu hoki te Atua mo ana whakahere; na tena ano ia i whai kupu ai, ahakoa mate.
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,
Na te whakapono a Enoka i kawea ketia ai, te kite i te mate; na kahore ia i kitea, no te mea kua kawea ketia ia e te Atua; i mua atu hoki i tona kawenga ketanga i whakaaturia mai ia, e ahuareka ana te Atua ki a ia.
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.
Ki te kahore hoki he whakapono, e kore e taea he mea e ahuareka mai ai ia: ki te haere hoki tetahi ki te Atua, me whakapono ko ia ano tenei ko te Atua, e homai ana e ia he utu ki te hunga e ata rapu ana i a ia.
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.
Na te whakapono a Noa, i tona whakamaharatanga e te Atua ki nga mea kahore i kitea noatia, i oho ai, he wehi ki te Atua, a hanga ana e ia te aaka hei whakaora mo tona whare; he whakataunga tena nana i te he ki te ao, a uru ana ki te tika o te wha kapono.
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;
Na te whakapono a Aperahama i ngohengohe ai, i tona karangatanga kia haere ki te wahi meake riro i a ia hei kainga; a haere ana ia, te matau ki te wahi e haere ai ia.
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,
Na te whakapono ia i noho manene ai ki te whenua i whakaaria mai, he whenua tangata ke ano ki a ia, a noho teneti ana ia, ratou ko Ihaka, ko Hakopa, ona hoa kua uru tahi nei ratou ki taua mea i whakaaria mai ra:
10 for he was looking for the city having the foundations, whose artificer and constructor [is] God.
I tatari hoki ia ki te pa whai turanga, ko te Atua nei te kaihanga, te kaimahi.
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;
Me Hera ano hoki, na te whakapono ia i whai kaha ai, i hapu ai, a whanau ana tana tama i te mea kua taka ke ona tau; i mahara hoki ia he pono ta te kaiwhakaari mai.
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.
Na, whanau ake i te kotahi, he tangata ano hoki ia kua whakatupapakutia ki enei mea, me te mea ko nga whetu o te rangi te tini, koia ano kei te onepu i te taha o te moana e kore nei e taea te tatau.
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,
I mate katoa enei i runga i te whakapono, kihai i whiwhi ki nga mea i whakaaria mai ra, engari he mea kite atu na ratou i tawhiti, a whakaponohia atu ana e ratou, awhitia atu ana, whakaae ana ratou he manene ratou, he noho noa iho i runga i te w henua.
14 for those saying such things make manifest that they seek a country;
Ko te hunga hoki he penei a ratou korero, e whakakite pu ana ratou he whenua tupu ta ratou e rapu nei.
15 and if, indeed, they had been mindful of that from which they came forth, they might have had an opportunity to return,
Me i mahara hoki ratou ki taua kainga i haere mai nei ratou i reira, penei kua atea he hokinga atu mo ratou:
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.
Tena ko tenei e hiahia ana ratou ki tetahi kainga pai ake, ki tera i te rangi: koia te Atua te whakama ai ki a ratou, kia kiia ko to ratou Atua; kua rite hoki i a ia tetahi pa mo ratou.
17 By faith Abraham hath offered up Isaac, being tried, and the only begotten he did offer up who did receive the promises,
Na te whakapono a Aperahama i tapae ai i a Ihaka, i tona whakamatautauranga; ae ra, ko te tangata i a ia nei nga kupu whakaari, tapaea ana e ia tana huatahi,
18 of whom it was said — 'In Isaac shall a seed be called to thee;'
Mona nei te kupu, Kei a Ihaka he huanga mo tau whanau:
19 reckoning that even out of the dead God is able to raise up, whence also in a figure he did receive [him].
I whakaaro hoki ia, ahakoa i roto nei ano i te hunga mate, e taea ia e te Atua te whakaara ake; a riro mai ana ia i reira, he mea whakaahua.
20 By faith, concerning coming things, Isaac did bless Jacob and Esau;
Na te whakapono ta Ihaka kupu manaaki mo Hakopa raua ko Ehau; he meatanga ki nga mea o muri nei.
21 by faith Jacob dying — each of the sons of Joseph did bless, and did bow down upon the top of his staff;
Na te whakapono a Hakopa, i a ia ka tata te mate, i manaaki ai i nga tama tokorua a Hohepa; a koropiko ana i runga i tana tokotoko.
22 by faith, Joseph dying, concerning the outgoing of the sons of Israel did make mention, and concerning his bones did give command.
Na te whakapono a Hohepa, i a ia e whakahemohemo ana i whakahua ai i te haerenga mai o nga tamariki a Iharaira; i whakatakoto tikanga ai mo ona wheua.
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;
Na te whakapono a Mohi, i tona whanautanga, i huna ai e ona matua e toru nga marama, i kite hoki raua he tamaiti ataahua ia; kihai hoki raua i mataku ki te ture a te kingi.
24 by faith Moses, having become great, did refuse to be called a son of the daughter of Pharaoh,
Na te whakapono a Mohi, i tona kaumatuatanga, kihai i pai kia kiia he tama na te tamahine a Parao;
25 having chosen rather to be afflicted with the people of God, than to have sin's pleasure for a season,
Ki tana hoki, ko te mamae tahi me ta te Atua iwi, he mea pai ke atu i nga ahuareka o te hara kia riro mo tetahi wa:
26 greater wealth having reckoned the reproach of the Christ than the treasures in Egypt, for he did look to the recompense of reward;
Ki tona whakaaro, ko te tawainga mo te Karaiti, he taonga nui ke atu i nga taonga o Ihipa; i titiro atu hoki ia ki te utu ka homai.
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;
Na te whakapono ia i haere atu ai i Ihipa, kihai hoki i mataku i te riri a te kingi: i u tonu hoki ia, he titiro nona ki te Atua e kore nei e kitea.
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.
Na te whakapono ia i whakarite ai i te kapenga, i te ringihanga toto, kei pa ki a ratou te kaiwhakamate i nga whanau matamua.
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;
Na te whakapono ratou i haere ai ra te Moana Whero me te mea e na runga ana i te whenua maroke; a, i te whakamatauranga a nga Ihipiana, ki te pera horomia ake ratou.
30 by faith the walls of Jericho did fall, having been surrounded for seven days;
Na te whakapono nga taiepa o Heriko i whenuku ai, i te mea e whitu nga ra e taiawhiotia ana.
31 by faith Rahab the harlot did not perish with those who disbelieved, having received the spies with peace.
Na te whakapono a Rahapa, te wahine kairua, i kore ai e whakangaromia ngatahitia me te hunga whakaponokore, mona i whakamanuhiri i nga tutei i runga i te rangimarie.
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,
Kia pehea ake ano hoki aku korero? e kore hoki e ranea te taima hei korerotanga maku i nga mea a Kiriona, a Paraka, a Hamahona, a Iepeta, a Rawiri, a Hamuera, a nga poropiti:
33 who through faith did subdue kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped mouths of lions,
Na te whakapono nei i hinga ai i a ratou nga rangatiratanga, i mahia ai e ratou te tika, i whiwhi ai ratou ki nga mea i whakaaria mai i mua, i tutakina ai e ratou nga waha o nga raiona,
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.
I tineia ai e ratou te kaha o te ahi, i mawhiti ai i te mata o te hoari, i haere atu ai i te ngoikore ki te kaha, i meinga ai kia kaha i te whawhaitanga, whati ana i a ratou nga taua a nga tauiwi.
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,
Riro ana i nga wahine a ratou tupapaku, he mea whakaara ake: ko etahi i whakamamaetia, kihai ano i whakaae atu kia whakaorangia; kia whiwhi ai ratou ki te whakaarahanga pai ke atu:
36 and others of mockings and scourgings did receive trial, and yet of bonds and imprisonment;
Ko etahi i whakamatau i nga tawainga, i nga whiunga, i nga mekameka ano hoki, i te whare herehere.
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,
I akina ratou ki te kohatu, i wahia ki te kani, i whakawaia, i mate i te patunga a te hoari: i haereere ratou, he hiako hipi te kakahu, he hiako koati; he hunga rawakore ratou, e tukinotia ana, e whakatupuria kinotia ana;
38 of whom the world was not worthy; in deserts wandering, and [in] mountains, and [in] caves, and [in] the holes of the earth;
Kihai nei te ao i pai mo ratou: atiutiu noa ana ratou i waenga tahora, i nga maunga, i nga ana, i nga poka o te whenua.
39 and these all, having been testified to through the faith, did not receive the promise,
Na pai tonu te korero mo enei katoa, he mea na te whakapono, heoi kihai ratou i whiwhi ki te mea i whakaaria mai:
40 God for us something better having provided, that apart from us they might not be made perfect.
Kua whakaaroa wawetia hoki e te Atua tetahi mea pai atu mo tatou, kei tino tika ratou i te mea kahore nei tatou.
