Hebrews 11
1 And faith is of things hoped for a confidence, of matters not seen a conviction,
Vera pa je trdno pričakovanje tistega, kar se upa, dokaz stvarî, katere se ne vidijo.
2 for in this were the elders testified of;
V tej namreč so starejši pričanje prejeli.
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)
Po veri umemo, da so svetovi osnovani bili po besedi Božji, tako da ni iz prikazujočega se postalo, kar je vidno. (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.
Po veri je daroval Abelj Bogu boljšo žrtev mimo Kajna, po kateri je bil izpričan za pravičnega, ker je Bog sam pričal po darovih, in po njej se še o mrtvem govori.
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,
Po veri je bil Enoh umaknen, da ni videl smrti "in ni ga bilo najti, ker ga je bil Bog umaknil." Kajti pred umaknenjem svojim dobil je pričanje, "da je Bogu po volji."
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.
Brez vere pa je nemogoče biti po volji; kajti verovati je treba njemu, kateri se bliža Bogu, da je in da postane plačevalec njim, ki ga iščejo.
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.
Po veri je napravil Noe, na povelje, za to, kar se ni še videlo, v strahu Božjem skrinjo v rešenje hiše svoje; po njej je obsodil svet, in je postal dedič pravice po veri.
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;
Po veri je slušal Abraham poklican, naj izide v kraj, katerega je imel dobiti v dedščino, in izšel je ne vedoč, kam ide.
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,
Po veri je bival v deželi obljube kakor tuji, stanujoč v šatorih z Izakom in Jakobom sodedičema iste obljube.
10 for he was looking for the city having the foundations, whose artificer and constructor [is] God.
Kajti čakal je mesta imajočega podstave, katerega zidar in stvarnik je Bog.
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;
Po veri je tudi sama Sara zadobila moč ustanoviti seme in rodila je, zunaj pravega časa starosti, ker je za zvestega imela njega, ki je bil obljubil.
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.
Zato jih je tudi od enega, in to umrlega, rodilo se kakor zvezd na nebu po številu, in kakor peska ob bregu morja bez števila.
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,
Poleg vere so umrli ti vsi, ko niso prejeli obljub; temuč videli so jih od daleč, in prepričani bili in pozdravili jih in spoznali, da so tujci in priseljenci na zemlji.
14 for those saying such things make manifest that they seek a country;
Kateri namreč tako govoré, naznanjajo, da iščejo domovine.
15 and if, indeed, they had been mindful of that from which they came forth, they might have had an opportunity to return,
In ko bi se bili spominjali one, iz katere so bili izšli, imeli bi bili čas obrniti se;
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.
Sedaj pa hrepené po boljši, to je, nebeški; zato se jih Bog ne sramuje imenovati se njih Boga; pripravil jim je namreč mesto.
17 By faith Abraham hath offered up Isaac, being tried, and the only begotten he did offer up who did receive the promises,
Po veri je daroval Abraham Izaka izkušan, in edinorojenca je daroval on, ki je bil prejel obljube, kateremu se je govorilo:
18 of whom it was said — 'In Isaac shall a seed be called to thee;'
"V Izaku se ti bode imenovalo seme;"
19 reckoning that even out of the dead God is able to raise up, whence also in a figure he did receive [him].
Ker je pomislil, da more Bog tudi od mrtvih zbujati, od koder ga je tudi po priliki odnesel.
20 By faith, concerning coming things, Isaac did bless Jacob and Esau;
Po veri o prihodnjosti je Izak blagoslovil Jakoba in Ezava.
21 by faith Jacob dying — each of the sons of Joseph did bless, and did bow down upon the top of his staff;
Po veri je Jakob umirajoč blagoslovil slehernega izmed sinov Jožefovih in: "molil je na konci palice njegove."
22 by faith, Joseph dying, concerning the outgoing of the sons of Israel did make mention, and concerning his bones did give command.
Po veri je Jožef umirajoč spominjal se izhoda sinov Izraelovih in naročal za kosti svoje.
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;
Po veri so Mojzesa rojenega roditelji skrivali tri mesece, ker so videli, da je dete zalo; in niso se bali ukaza kraljevega.
24 by faith Moses, having become great, did refuse to be called a son of the daughter of Pharaoh,
Po veri je Mojzes, ko je bil velik postal, branil se imenovan biti sin hčere Faraonove,
25 having chosen rather to be afflicted with the people of God, than to have sin's pleasure for a season,
Ker je raji hotel zlo trpeti z ljudstvom Božjim, nego imeti začasen užitek od greha;
26 greater wealth having reckoned the reproach of the Christ than the treasures in Egypt, for he did look to the recompense of reward;
Ker je imel sramoto Kristusovo za večje bogastvo nad zaklade v Egiptu; kajti oziral se je v povračilo.
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;
Po veri je zapustil Egipt, ne boječ se jeze kraljeve; stanoviten namreč je bil, kakor da bi videl nevidnega.
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.
Po veri je napravil pasho in polivanje s krvjo, da bi moritelj ne dotaknil se njih prvorojencev.
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;
Po veri so pregazili rudeče morje kakor po suhem; Egipčani pa poskusivši to bili so pogoltneni.
30 by faith the walls of Jericho did fall, having been surrounded for seven days;
Po veri je palo zidovje Jerihovo, okroženo sedem dnî.
31 by faith Rahab the harlot did not perish with those who disbelieved, having received the spies with peace.
Po veri Rahab kurba ni poginila z nevernimi, sprejemši oglednike v miru.
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,
In kaj še govorim? Časa namreč mi bode primanjkovalo, ko bi pripovedoval o Gedeonu, Baraku in Samsonu in Jeftaji, Davidu in Samuelu in prerokih;
33 who through faith did subdue kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped mouths of lions,
Kateri so po veri zmagovali kraljestva, delali pravico, dobivali obljube, levom žrela našili;
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.
Ognja moč gasili, meča osti ubežavali, od bolezni ozdravevali, junaki v vojski postajali, napade odbijali tujcev.
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,
Žene so dobivale po vstajenji mrtve svoje; drugi pa so bili mučeni, in niso sprejemali oproščenja, da zadobé boljše vstajenje;
36 and others of mockings and scourgings did receive trial, and yet of bonds and imprisonment;
Drugi pa so poskusili zasramovanje in bičanje, in pa vezî in ječe;
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,
Bili so kamenjani, razrezani, izkušani, umrli so v smrti z mečem; hodili so v ovčjih, v kozjih kožah, v potrebi, v stiskah in težavah;
38 of whom the world was not worthy; in deserts wandering, and [in] mountains, and [in] caves, and [in] the holes of the earth;
(Njih ni bil vreden svet), po puščavah tavajoč in gorah in brlogih in podzemeljskih jamah.
39 and these all, having been testified to through the faith, did not receive the promise,
In vsi ti, pričanje prejemši po veri, niso dobili obljube,
40 God for us something better having provided, that apart from us they might not be made perfect.
Ker je bil Bog nekaj boljšega pred videl za nas, da bi se ne popolnili brez nas.
