Hebera 11
1 O KA manaoio, o ka hilinai ana no ia ma na mea i manaolanaia'i, a o ka hoomaopopo ana hoi o na mea i ike maka ole ia.
Now faith is the assurance of what we hope for and the certainty of what we do not see.
2 No ia hoi, i hoaponoia mai ai ka poe kahiko.
This is why the ancients were commended.
3 Ma ka manaoio na ike kakou ua hanaia ka lani a me ka honua e ka olelo a ke Akua, o na mea i nanaia, aole no loko mai o na mea i ikeia. (aiōn g165)
By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible. (aiōn g165)
4 Ma ka manaoio i kaumaha aku ai o Abela i ke Akua i ka mohai maikai aku i ko Kaina, malaila hoi i hoaponoia'i oia he pono, oia ka ke Akua hoike ana mai no kona alana; malaila hoi ke olelo nei oia ka mea i make.
By faith Abel offered God a better sacrifice than Cain did. By faith he was commended as righteous when God gave approval to his gifts. And by faith he still speaks, even though he is dead.
5 No ka manaoio i lawe ola ia'ku o Enoka, me ka ike ole i ka make; aole ia i ike hou ia, no ka mea, ua lawe ola aku ke Akua ia ia. A ua hoaponoia oia no kona hooluolu ana i ke Akua mamua aku o kona laweia'ku.
By faith Enoch was taken up so that he did not see death: “He could not be found, because God had taken him away.” For before he was taken, he was commended as one who pleased God.
6 Aka, he mea hiki ole ke hooluolu i ke Akua me ka manaoio ole; no ka mea, o ka mea e hele ana i ke Akua, e pono no e manaoio oia, he mea io no ia, a, he mea hoi e uku mai ana i ka poe i imi ikaika ia ia.
And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who approaches Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him.
7 Ma ka manaoio o Noa i aoia'i e ke Akua no na mea i ike maka ole ia, ua hoomakaukau oia me ka makau, i halelana e ola'i kona hale; ma ia mea hoi ia i hoahowa aku ai i ko ke ao nei, a ua loaa ia ia ka hoapono ana no ka manaoio.
By faith Noah, when warned about things not yet seen, in godly fear built an ark to save his family. By faith he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness that comes by faith.
8 Ma ka manaoio hoi i hoolohe ai o Aberahama, i ka wa i heaia mai ai e hele aku i kahi e loaa mai ai ia ia ka noho ana; a hele aku la ia me ka ike ole i kona wahi i hele ai.
By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, without knowing where he was going.
9 Ma ka manaoio i noho malihini ai oia i ka aina i olelo mua ia'i, ka aina o ka poe e, e noho ana ia iloko o na halelewa, me Isaaka a me Iakoba, na hooilina pu me ia no ka mea hookahi i hai mua ia mai ai:
By faith he dwelt in the promised land as a stranger in a foreign country. He lived in tents, as did Isaac and Jacob, who were heirs with him of the same promise.
10 No ka mea, ua imi aku ia i ke kulanakauhale i hookumuia, a o kona mea nana i hana, a i kukulu hoi, o ke Akua ia.
For he was looking forward to the city with foundations, whose architect and builder is God.
11 Ma ka manaoio i loaa'i ia Sara ka ikaika e hapai keiki ai, a hanau mai, mahope iho o ka manawa maoli o kona ola ana, no kona manao ana i ka oiaio o ka mea nana i hai mua mai.
By faith Sarah, even though she was barren and beyond the proper age, was enabled to conceive a child, because she considered Him faithful who had promised.
12 Nolaila i laha mai ai mai kela mea hookahi, a o ua mea la me he mea make la, ka poe mamo e like me na hoku o ka lani ka lehulehu, a me ke one ma kahakai aole pau i ka heluia.
And so from one man, and he as good as dead, came descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as countless as the sand on the seashore.
13 A make aku la kela poe a pau, iloko o ka manaoio, aole hoi i loaa ia lakou na mea i oleloia mai, aka, i ko lakou ike ana ia mau mea i kahi loihi, ua manaoio a paulele ilaila, a ua hai aku ia lakou iho, he poe kanaka e, he poe malihini ma ka honua.
All these people died in faith, without having received the things they were promised. However, they saw them and welcomed them from afar. And they acknowledged that they were strangers and exiles on the earth.
14 A o ka poe i hai aku pela, ua hoike maopopo lakou i ko lakou imi ana i wahi e noho ai.
Now those who say such things show that they are seeking a country of their own.
15 No ka mea, ina i manao lakou i kela aina a lakou i haalele ai, ua hiki no ia lakou ke hoi aku ilaila.
If they had been thinking of the country they had left, they would have had opportunity to return.
16 Aka, na makemake lakou i aina maikai aku, oia o ko ka lani. No ia mea, aole ke Akua i hilahila ia lakou ke kapaia oia he Akua no lakou; no ka mea, ua hoomakaukau oia i kulanakauhale no lakou.
Instead, they were longing for a better country, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has prepared a city for them.
17 Ma ka manaoio i kaumaha aku ai o Aberahama ia Isaaka i kona wa i hoaoia mai ai; a o ka mea nona ka pono i hai mua ia mai, ua mohai aku la oia i kana keiki hookahi;
By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac on the altar. He who had received the promises was ready to offer his one and only son,
18 Ia ia hoi ka olelo ana mai, E kapaia'ku kau mau mamo. mamuli o Isaaka.
even though God had said to him, “Through Isaac your offspring will be reckoned.”
19 Ua manao hoi ia, e hiki i ke Akua ke hoala mai ia ia mai ka make mai; mai laila mai hoi, i loaa ai oia ia ia ma ke aka.
Abraham reasoned that God could raise the dead, and in a sense, he did receive Isaac back from death.
20 Ma ka manaoio i hoomaikai aku ai o Isaaka ia Iakoba a me Esau no na mea e hiki mai ana.
By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning the future.
21 Ma ka manaoio i hoomaikai aku ai o Iakoba i na keiki elua a Iosepa i kona wa e kokoke i ka make; a kulou iho la ia maluna o ke poo o kona kookoo.
By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of Joseph’s sons and worshiped as he leaned on the top of his staff.
22 Ma ka manaoio, i ka pau ana o kona ea, i olelo ai o Iosepa i ka hele ana'ku o na mamo a Iseraela; a ua kauoha aku la no kona mau iwi.
By faith Joseph, when his end was near, spoke about the exodus of the Israelites and gave instructions about his bones.
23 Ma ka manaoio i hunaia'i o Mose i na malama ekolu e kona mau makua mahope iho o kona hanau ana, no ko laua ike ana he keiki maikai ia; aole hoi laua i makau i ke kauoha a ke alii.
By faith Moses’ parents hid him for three months after his birth, because they saw that he was a beautiful child, and they were unafraid of the king’s edict.
24 Ma ka manaoio i ae ole aku ai o Mose i kona wa oo e kapaia mai he keiki na ke kaikamahine a Parao;
By faith Moses, when he was grown, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter.
25 E koho ana ma ka pilikia pu me ko ke Akua poe kanaka, aole ma ka lealea pau koke o ka hewa;
He chose to suffer oppression with God’s people rather than to experience the fleeting enjoyment of sin.
26 E manao ana hoi i ka hoino ana a Kristo i hoinoia'i he waiwai ia e oi aku ana mamua o ko Aigupita waiwai; no ka mea, ua manao aku oia i ka hoonkuia mai.
He valued disgrace for Christ above the treasures of Egypt, for he was looking ahead to his reward.
27 Ma ka manaoio no oia i haalele ai ia Aigupita, me ka makau ole aku i ka huhu o ke alii; no ka mea, ua ku paa oia me he mea la e ike maoli ana i ka mea i ike maka ole ia.
By faith Moses left Egypt, not fearing the king’s anger; he persevered because he saw Him who is invisible.
28 Ma ka manaoio hoi oia i malama ai i ka moliaola, a me ka pipi ana o ke koko, i ole ai e hoopa mai ia lakou ka mea nana i luku mai i na makahiapo.
By faith he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of blood, so that the destroyer of the firstborn would not touch Israel’s own firstborn.
29 Ma ka manaoio i hele ai lakou mawaena o ke Kaiula me he hele ana la ma ka aina maloo, ka mea a ko Aigupita i hoao ai a make iho la i ke kai.
By faith the people passed through the Red Sea as on dry land; but when the Egyptians tried to follow, they were drowned.
30 No ka manaoio i hiolo ai na pa o Ieriko, i ka pau o ka hoopuni ana i na la ehiku.
By faith the walls of Jericho fell, after the people had marched around them for seven days.
31 No ka manaoio i make pu ole ai o Rahaba ka wahine hookamakama me ka poe hoomaloka, mahope iho o kona hookipa ana i na kiu me ke aloha.
By faith the prostitute Rahab, because she welcomed the spies in peace, did not perish with those who were disobedient.
32 A heaha hoi ka'u e olelo hou aku ai? No ka mea, e pau e no kuu manawa ke hai aku i ka Gideona a me Baraka, a me Samesona a me Iepeta, a me Davida hoi, a me Samuela, a me ka poe kaula;
And what more shall I say? Time will not allow me to tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, Samuel, and the prophets,
33 Ka poe nana ma ka manaoio i hoopio ai i na aupuni, i hoopai ai hoi ma ka pono, i loaa ai hoi he mau pono i hai mua ia mai, i papani ai hoi i na waha o na liona,
who through faith conquered kingdoms, administered justice, and gained what was promised; who shut the mouths of lions,
34 I hoopio ai hoi i ka wela o ke ahi, i pakele ai hoi i ka maka o ka pahikaua, i hooikaikaia'i hoi i ka nawaliwali ana, a i lilo ai hoi i poe ikaika i ke kana, i auhee ai hoi ka poe kaua o na aina e.
quenched the raging fire, and escaped the edge of the sword; who gained strength from weakness, became mighty in battle, and put foreign armies to flight.
35 Ua loaa hou i na wahine ma ke alahouana, ko lakou poe make; ua hoehaehaia kekahi poe, aole nae i ae lakou i ka hookuu ana, i loaa mai ia lakou ke alahou maikai ae.
Women received back their dead, raised to life again. Others were tortured and refused their release, so that they might gain a better resurrection.
36 A ua hoaoia kekahi poe me ka hoomaewaewaia, a me ka hahau ana, a me ka hoopea ana, a me ka paa ana i ka halepaahao;
Still others endured mocking and flogging, and even chains and imprisonment.
37 Ua hailukuia lakou; ua oloia a kaawale; ua hoowalewaleia; ua pepehi wale ia me ka pahikaua; ua kaahele lakou me na aahu ili hipa, a me na ili kao, me ka ilihune, a me ka popilikia, a me ke koloheia;
They were stoned, they were sawed in two, they were put to death by the sword. They went around in sheepskins and goatskins, destitute, oppressed, and mistreated.
38 Aohe pono ko ke ao nei e like me ko lakou; ua auwana ma na waonahele, a ma na mauna, a ma na ana hoi, a me na lua o ka honua.
The world was not worthy of them. They wandered in deserts and mountains, and hid in caves and holes in the ground.
39 A o ua poe a pau, ka poe i hoaponoia no ko lakou manaoio, aole i loaa ia lakou ka pono i haiia mai;
These were all commended for their faith, yet they did not receive what was promised.
40 Na ke Akua i hoomakaukau i ka pono nui no kakou, aole i loaa ia lakou ka hooko loa ana o ka mea e pono ai, ke ole kakou.
God had planned something better for us, so that together with us they would be made perfect.
