Ebrei 11
1 Or la fede è certezza di cose che si sperano, dimostrazione di cose che non si vedono.
Now FAITH is the persuasion concerning things which are in hope, as if they were in reality, and a revelation of those which are not seen.
2 Infatti, per essa fu resa buona testimonianza agli antichi.
And for this was the testimony concerning the elders.
3 Per fede intendiamo che i mondi sono stati formati dalla parola di Dio; cosicché le cose che si vedono non sono state tratte da cose apparenti. (aiōn g165)
For by faith we perceive that the worlds were ordained by the word of Aloha, and (how) these (things) which are seen were from those which are not seen. (aiōn g165)
4 Per fede Abele offerse a Dio un sacrificio più eccellente di quello di Caino; per mezzo d’essa gli fu resa testimonianza ch’egli era giusto, quando Dio attestò di gradire le sue offerte; e per mezzo d’essa, benché morto, egli parla ancora.
By faith Habel offered a sacrifice which was far better than that of Koen unto Aloha; and because of it there is respecting him a testimony that he was righteous; and Aloha gave witness concerning his oblation; and on account thereof also while dead he is speaking.
5 Per fede Enoc fu trasportato perché non vedesse la morte; e non fu più trovato, perché Dio l’avea trasportato; poiché avanti che fosse trasportato fu di lui testimoniato ch’egli era piaciuto a Dio.
Through faith Hanak was translated, and did not taste death; nor was he found, because Aloha had translated him: for before that he would translate him, there was respecting him the testimony that he pleased Aloha.
6 Or senza fede è impossibile piacergli; poiché chi s’accosta a Dio deve credere ch’Egli è, e che è il rimuneratore di quelli che lo cercano.
But without faith it is not possible for man to please Aloha; for he who draweth near unto Aloha must believe that he is, and that of those who seek him he will be the rewarder.
7 Per fede Noè, divinamente avvertito di cose che non si vedevano ancora, mosso da pio timore, preparò un’arca per la salvezza della propria famiglia; e per essa fede condannò il mondo e fu fatto erede della giustizia che si ha mediante la fede.
By faith Nuch, when spoken with upon those things which had not been seen, feared, and made him the ark for the salvation of his family; by which he condemned the world, and was an heir of the righteousness which is by faith.
8 Per fede Abramo, essendo chiamato, ubbidì, per andarsene in un luogo ch’egli avea da ricevere in eredità; e partì senza sapere dove andava.
By faith Abraham, when he was called, heard that he was to go forth to a place which he should receive for an inheritance; and he went out, while he knew not whither he was going.
9 Per fede soggiornò nella terra promessa, come in terra straniera, abitando in tende con Isacco e Giacobbe, eredi con lui della stessa promessa,
By faith he was a sojourner in the land that was promised to him, as in an alien state, and dwelt in tabernacles with Ishok and Jakub, sons of the inheritance which was his by the promise:
10 perché aspettava la città che ha i veri fondamenti e il cui architetto e costruttore è Dio.
for he was expecting the city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is Aloha.
11 Per fede Sara anch’ella, benché fuori d’età, ricevette forza di concepire, perché reputò fedele Colui che avea fatto la promessa.
By faith Saro, who was barren, received strength to conceive seed, and, which (thing) was not in the time of her years, gave birth (to a son); because she was sure that he who had promised to her was faithful.
12 E perciò, da uno solo, e già svigorito, è nata una discendenza numerosa come le stelle del cielo, come la rena lungo la riva del mare che non si può contare.
Therefore from one who had failed from old age, were there begotten multitudes as the stars of heaven, and as the sand upon the shores of the sea, which have no number.
13 In fede moriron tutti costoro, senz’aver ricevuto le cose promesse, ma avendole vedute e salutate da lontano, e avendo confessato che erano forestieri e pellegrini sulla terra.
In faith died these all, not having gotten their promise, but from afar had beheld it, and exulted in it, and confessed that strangers they were, and sojourners in the earth.
14 Poiché quelli che dicon tali cose dimostrano che cercano una patria.
For they who these things say, make manifest that their city they are seeking.
15 E se pur si ricordavano di quella ond’erano usciti, certo avean tempo di ritornarvi.
But if that city from which they had gone out they desired, they had opportunity to return and go to it.
16 Ma ora ne desiderano una migliore, cioè una celeste; perciò Iddio non si vergogna d’esser chiamato il loro Dio, poiché ha preparato loro una città.
But now it is known that a better (one) than that they desired; that (namely) which is in heaven. Wherefore Aloha was not ashamed their God to be called; for he hath prepared for them a city.
17 Per fede Abramo, quando fu provato, offerse Isacco; ed egli, che avea ricevuto le promesse, offerse il suo unigenito: egli, a cui era stato detto:
By faith Abraham offered Ishok in his temptation and his only-born he lifted upon the altar, even him whom he had received by the promise:
18 E’ in Isacco che ti sarà chiamata una progenie,
for it had been said to him, In Ishok shall be called to thee the seed.
19 ritenendo che Dio è potente anche da far risuscitare dai morti; ond’è che lo riebbe per una specie di risurrezione.
For he thought within himself, that Aloha could even from the dead upraise: and on account of this in a similitude he was given to him.
20 Per fede Isacco diede a Giacobbe e ad Esaù una benedizione concernente cose future.
By faith in that which was to come, Ishok blessed Jakub and Isu.
21 Per fede Giacobbe, morente, benedisse ciascuno dei figliuoli di Giuseppe, e adorò appoggiato in cima al suo bastone.
By faith, when dying, Jakub blessed each of the sons of Jauseph; and worshipped upon the head of his staff.
22 Per fede Giuseppe, quando stava per morire, fece menzione dell’esodo de’ figliuoli d’Israele, e diede ordini intorno alle sue ossa.
By faith Jauseph, when dying, was mindful of the going forth of the sons of Israel, and commanded concerning his bones.
23 Per fede Mosè, quando nacque, fu tenuto nascosto per tre mesi dai suoi genitori, perché vedevano che il bambino era bello; e non temettero il comandamento del re.
By faith the parents of Musha concealed him when he had been born three months, because they saw that he was a beautiful child; and they feared not the edict of the king.
24 Per fede Mosè, divenuto grande, rifiutò d’esser chiamato figliuolo della figliuola di Faraone,
By faith Musha, when he became a man, refused to be called the son of the daughter of Pherun;
25 scegliendo piuttosto d’esser maltrattato col popolo di Dio, che di godere per breve tempo i piaceri del peccato;
and chose to himself to be in affliction with the people of Aloha, and not for a little time to delight (himself) in sin;
26 stimando egli il vituperio di Cristo ricchezza maggiore de’ tesori d’Egitto, perché riguardava alla rimunerazione.
and considered the riches of the reproach of Meshiha to be far greater than the treasures of Metsreen: for he contemplated the recompence of the reward.
27 Per fede abbandonò l’Egitto, non temendo l’ira del re, perché stette costante, come vedendo Colui che è invisibile.
By faith he forsook Metsreen, and feared not the wrath of the king; and hoped, as one who beheld Aloha who is the invisible.
28 Per fede celebrò la Pasqua e fece lo spruzzamento del sangue affinché lo sterminatore dei primogeniti non toccasse quelli degli Israeliti.
By faith they performed the passover, and the sprinkling of the blood, that he might not come near, -he, who was destroying the first-born.
29 Per fede passarono il Mar Rosso come per l’asciutto; il che tentando fare gli Egizi, furono inabissati.
By faith they traversed the sea of Sooph, as those who (march) upon dry land; but the Metsroyee were swallowed up in it, when they had dared to enter it.
30 Per fede caddero le mura di Gerico, dopo essere state circuite per sette giorni.
By faith the ramparts of Jirichu fell down, after they had been encompassed seven days.
31 Per fede Raab, la meretrice, non perì coi disubbidienti, avendo accolto le spie in pace.
By faith Rachob the harlot perished not with those who would not hearken, because she had received the explorers in peace.
32 E che dirò di più? poiché il tempo mi verrebbe meno se narrassi di Gedeone, di Barac, di Sansone, di Jefte, di Davide, di Samuele e dei profeti,
What shall I yet say? For (too) brief is the time for me to tell of Gedhun, and of Borok, and of Shemshun, and of Nephtoch, and of David, and of Shomuel, and of the rest of the prophets;
33 i quali per fede vinsero regni, operarono giustizia, ottennero adempimento di promesse, turaron le gole di leoni,
they who through faith conquered kingdoms, and wrought righteousness, and received promises, and shut the mouths of lions,
34 spensero la violenza del fuoco, scamparono al taglio della spada, guarirono da infermità, divennero forti in guerra, misero in fuga eserciti stranieri.
and quenched the powers of fire, and were delivered from the edge of the sword, and were made strong from infirmities, and became valiant in battle, and overthrew the camps of the adversaries.
35 Le donne ricuperarono per risurrezione i loro morti; e altri furon martirizzati non avendo accettata la loro liberazione affin di ottenere una risurrezione migliore;
And they gave unto women their sons by the resurrection of the dead; and others in torments died, nor hoped to be delivered, that the better resurrection they might have.
36 altri patirono scherni e flagelli, e anche catene e prigione.
But others went through mockings and scourgings; others unto chains and imprisonments were given up,
37 Furon lapidati, furon segati, furono uccisi di spada; andarono attorno coperti di pelli di pecora e di capra; bisognosi, afflitti,
others were stoned, others divided, others died by the edge of the sword, others wandered about clothed with skins of sheep and of goats, necessitous, afflicted, and driven out.
38 maltrattati (di loro il mondo non era degno), vaganti per deserti e monti e spelonche e per le grotte della terra.
Men, of whom the world was not worthy, became as wanderers in the desert, and in mountains, and in dens, and in caverns of the earth.
39 E tutti costoro, pur avendo avuto buona testimonianza per la loro fede, non ottennero quello ch’era stato promesso,
And these all, of whom there hath been (such) a testimony concerning their faith, received not the promise;
40 perché Iddio aveva in vista per noi qualcosa di meglio, ond’essi non giungessero alla perfezione senza di noi.
because Aloha had afore contemplated for our help, that without us they should not be made perfect.
