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 being sure of the things hoped for and certain of things that are not seen.
2 No ia hoi, i hoaponoia mai ai ka poe kahiko.
For because of this the ancestors were approved for their faith.
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 created by God's command, so that what is visible was not made out of things that were 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.
It was by faith that Abel offered God a better sacrifice than Cain, through which he was attested to be righteous, and God spoke well of him because of his offerings, and by faith Abel 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.
It was by faith that Enoch was taken up so that he did not see death. “He was not found, because God took him.” For before he was taken up, it was testified that he had 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.
Now without faith it is impossible to please him. For it is necessary that anyone coming to God must believe that he exists and that he is a rewarder of those who 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.
It was by faith that Noah, having been given a divine message about things not yet seen, with godly reverence built a ship to save his household. By doing this, he condemned the world and became an heir of the righteousness that is according to 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.
It was by faith that Abraham, when he was called, obeyed and went out to the place that he was to receive as an inheritance. He went out, not 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:
It was by faith that he lived in the land of promise as a foreigner. He lived in tents with Isaac and Jacob, fellow heirs 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.
It was by faith, even though Sarah herself was barren, that Abraham received ability to father a child. This happened even though he was too old, since he considered as faithful the one who had given the promise.
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.
Therefore, from this one man—and he was almost dead—were born descendants as many as the stars in the sky and as countless as sand by 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.
It was in faith that all these died without receiving the promises. Instead, after seeing and greeting them from far off, they admitted that they were foreigners and exiles on earth.
14 A o ka poe i hai aku pela, ua hoike maopopo lakou i ko lakou imi ana i wahi e noho ai.
For those who say such things make it clear that they are seeking a homeland.
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 from which they had gone out, 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.
But as it is, they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, since 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;
It was by faith that Abraham, when he was tested, offered Isaac. It was his only son whom he offered, he who had received the promises.
18 Ia ia hoi ka olelo ana mai, E kapaia'ku kau mau mamo. mamuli o Isaaka.
It was Abraham to whom it had been said, “It is through Isaac that your descendants will be named.”
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 was able to raise up Isaac from the dead, and figuratively speaking, it was from them that he received him back.
20 Ma ka manaoio i hoomaikai aku ai o Isaaka ia Iakoba a me Esau no na mea e hiki mai ana.
It was also by faith about things to come that Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau.
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.
It was by faith that Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of Joseph's sons. Jacob worshiped, leaning 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.
It was by faith that Joseph, when his end was near, spoke of the departure of the children of Israel from Egypt and instructed them 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.
It was by faith that Moses, when he was born, was hidden for three months by his parents because they saw he was a beautiful child. They were not afraid of the king's command.
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;
It was by faith that Moses, after he had grown up, 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;
Instead, he chose to suffer with the people of God, rather than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a while.
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 reasoned that the disgrace of following Christ was greater riches than Egypt's treasures. For he was fixing his eyes on 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.
It was by faith that Moses left Egypt. He did not fear the king's anger, for he endured as if he were seeing the one 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.

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.
It was by faith that Rahab the prostitute did not die with those who were disobedient, because she had received the spies in peace.
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;
What more can I say? For the time will fail me if I tell about Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, Samuel, and about 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,
It was through faith that they conquered kingdoms, worked justice, and received promises. They stopped 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.
extinguished the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, were healed of illnesses, became mighty in battle, and defeated foreign armies.
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 by resurrection. Others were tortured, not accepting release, so that they might experience 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;
Others had testing in mocking and whippings, 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 sawn in two. They were killed with the sword. They went about in sheepskins and goatskins. They were destitute, oppressed, 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 were always wandering about in the deserts and mountains, and 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;
Although all these people were approved by God because of their faith, they did not receive the promise.
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 planned something better for us, so that without us, they would not be made perfect.
