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 a well-grounded assurance of that for which we hope, and a conviction of the reality of things which we do not see.
2 No ia hoi, i hoaponoia mai ai ka poe kahiko.
For by it the saints of old won God's approval.
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)
Through faith we understand that the worlds came into being, and still exist, at the command of God, so that what is seen does not owe its existence to that which is 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.
Through faith Abel offered to God a more acceptable sacrifice than Cain did, and through this faith he obtained testimony that he was righteous, God giving the testimony by accepting his gifts; and through it, though he is dead, he still speaks.
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.
Through faith Enoch was taken from the earth so that he did not see death, and he could not be found, because God had taken him; for before he was taken we have evidence that he truly 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.
But where there is no faith it is impossible truly to please Him; for the man who draws near to God must believe that there is a God and that He proves Himself a rewarder of those who earnestly try to find 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.
Through faith Noah, being divinely taught about things as yet unseen, reverently gave heed and built an ark for the safety of his family, and by this act he condemned the world, and became an heir of the righteousness which depends on 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.
Through faith Abraham, upon being called to leave home and go into a land which he was soon to receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing where he was going to.
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:
Through faith he came and made his home for a time in a land which had been promised to him, as if in a foreign country, living in tents together with Isaac and Jacob, sharers with him in 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 continually looked forward to the city which has the 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.
Through faith even Sarah herself received strength to become a mother--although she was past the time of life for this--because she judged Him faithful 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.
And thus there sprang from one man, and him practically dead, a nation like the stars of the sky in number, and like the sands on the sea shore which cannot be counted.
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 died in the possession of faith. They had not received the promised blessings, but had seen them from a distance and had greeted them, and had acknowledged themselves to be foreigners and strangers here 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 men who acknowledge this make it manifest that they are seeking elsewhere 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.
And if they had cherished the remembrance of the country they had left, they would have found an 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, we see them eager for a better land, that is to say, a heavenly one. For this reason God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has now 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;
Through faith Abraham, as soon as God put him to the test, offered up Isaac. Yes, he who had joyfully welcomed the promises was on the point of sacrificing his only son
18 Ia ia hoi ka olelo ana mai, E kapaia'ku kau mau mamo. mamuli o Isaaka.
with regard to whom he had been told, "It is through Isaac that your posterity shall be traced."
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.
For he reckoned that God is even able to raise a man up from among the dead, and, figuratively speaking, it was from among the dead that he received Isaac again.
20 Ma ka manaoio i hoomaikai aku ai o Isaaka ia Iakoba a me Esau no na mea e hiki mai ana.
Through faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau, even in connexion with things soon to come.
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.
Through faith Jacob, when dying, blessed each of Joseph's sons, and, leaning on the top of his staff, worshipped God.
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.
Through faith Joseph, when he was near his end, made mention of the departure of the descendants of Israel, and gave orders about his own body.
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.
Through faith the child Moses was hid for three months by his parents, because they saw his rare beauty; and the king's edict had no terror for them.
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;
Through faith Moses, when he grew to manhood, refused to be known as Pharaoh's daughter's son,
25 E koho ana ma ka pilikia pu me ko ke Akua poe kanaka, aole ma ka lealea pau koke o ka hewa;
having determined to endure ill-treatment along with the people of God rather than enjoy the short-lived pleasures 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.
because he deemed the reproaches which he might meet with in the service of the Christ to be greater riches than all the treasures of Egypt; for he fixed his gaze on the coming 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.
Through faith he left Egypt, not being frightened by the king's anger; for he held on his course as seeing the unseen One.
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.
Through faith he instituted the Passover, and the sprinkling with blood so that the destroyer of the firstborn might not touch the Israelites.
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.
Through faith they passed through the Red Sea as though they were passing over dry land, but the Egyptians, when they tried to do the same, were swallowed up.
30 No ka manaoio i hiolo ai na pa o Ieriko, i ka pau o ka hoopuni ana i na la ehiku.
Through faith the walls of Jericho fell to the ground after being surrounded 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.
Through faith the notorious sinner Rahab did not perish along with the disobedient, for she had welcomed the spies and had sheltered them.
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 why need I say more? For time will fail me if I tell the story of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, and of David and 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,
men who, as the result of faith, conquered whole kingdoms, brought about true justice, obtained promises from God, stopped lions' mouths,
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.
deprived fire of its power, escaped being killed by the sword, out of weakness were made strong, became mighty in war, put to flight 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 dear ones alive from the dead; and others were put to death with torture, refusing the deliverance offered to them--that they might secure 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 again were tested by cruel mockery and by scourging; yes, and by 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 asunder, they were tried by temptation, they were killed with the sword. They went from place to place in sheepskins or goatskins, enduring want, oppression and cruelty.
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.
(They were men of whom the world was not worthy.) They wandered across deserts and mountains, or hid themselves in caves and in 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;
And although by their faith all these people won God's approval, none of them received the fulfilment of His great 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.
for God had provided for them and us something better, so that apart from us they were not to attain to full blessedness.
