히브리서 11
1 믿음은 바라는 것들의 실상이요 보지 못하는 것들의 증거니
Now faith is the title-deed of things hoped for; the putting to the proof of things not seen.
2 선진들이 이로써 증거를 얻었으니라
For by it men of old times had witness borne to them.
By faith we understand that the world was fashioned by the Word of God, so that what we see was not made out of what is visible. (aiōn g165)
4 믿음으로 아벨은 가인보다 더 나은 제사를 하나님께 드림으로 의로운 자라 하시는 증거를 얻었으니 하나님이 그 예물에 대하여 증거하심이라 저가 죽었으나 그 믿음으로써 오히려 말하느니라
By faith Abel offered to God a sacrifice more acceptable than that of Cain, through which he had witness borne to him that he was righteous, God giving the testimony by accepting his gifts; and through it he, although he is dead, still speaks.
5 믿음으로 에녹은 죽음을 보지 않고 옮기웠으니 하나님이 저를 옮기심으로 다시 보이지 아니하니라 저는 옮기우기 전에 하나님을 기쁘시게 하는 자라 하는 증거를 받았느니라
By faith Enoch was translated so that he should not see death; and he was not found, because God had translated him. Before his translation he had witness borne to him that he pleased God.
6 믿음이 없이는 기쁘시게 못하나니 하나님께 나아가는 자는 반드시 그가 계신 것과 또한 그가 자기를 찾는 자들에게 상 주시는 이심을 믿어야 할지니라
now without faith it is impossible to please him; for he who comes to God must believe that he is, and that he ever rewards those who are seeking.
7 믿음으로 노아는 아직 보지 못하는 일에 경고하심을 받아 경외함으로 방주를 예비하여 그 집을 구원하였으니 이로 말미암아 세상을 정죄하고 믿음을 좇는 의의 후사가 되었느니라
By faith Noah, warned of God of things not yet seen, reverently gave heed, and built an ark for the saving of his house; by which he condemned the world, and became an heir of the righteousness which is of faith.

It was by faith that he sojourned in the promised land as an alien, living in tents with Isaac and Jacob, his fellow heirs of the same promise.
10 이는 하나님의 경영하시고 지으실 터가 있는 성을 바랐음이니라
For he continually looked for the city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God.
11 믿음으로 사라 자신도 나이 늙어 단산하였으나 잉태하는 힘을 얻었으니 이는 약속하신 이를 미쁘신 줄 앎이라
By faith even Sarah herself received power to conceive seed, although she was past the age for child-bearing, because she counted Him faithful who had promised;
12 이러므로 죽은 자와 방불한 한 사람으로 말미암아 하늘에 허다한 별과 또 해변의 무수한 모래와 같이 많이 생육하였느니라
and thus there sprang from one man, and him practically dead, a nation like the stars in the heavens in multitude, or grains of sand upon the seashore, innumerable.
13 이 사람들은 다 믿음을 따라 죽었으며 약속을 받지 못하였으되 그것들을 멀리서 보고 환영하며 또 땅에서는 외국인과 나그네로라 증거하였으니
These all died in faith, not having yet received the promises; nay, but they saw them from afar, and hailed them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.
14 이같이 말하는 자들은 본향 찾는 것을 나타냄이라
For those who say such things make it plain that they are seeking a Fatherland.
15 저희가 나온 바 본향을 생각하였더면 돌아갈 기회가 있었으려니와
And if they had cherished the memory of that land from which they went out, they would have found an opportunity to return;
16 저희가 이제는 더 나은 본향을 사모하니 곧 하늘에 있는 것이라 그러므로 하나님이 저희 하나님이라 일컬음 받으심을 부끄러워 아니하시고 저희를 위하여 한 성을 예비하셨느니라
but now they are longing for a better homeland, that is, a heavenly. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God; and he has prepared a city for them.

By faith Abraham, when he was put to the test, was on the point of offering up Isaac; yes, he who had received the promise was about to offer up his only son,
18 저에게 이미 말씀하시기를 네 자손이라 칭할 자는 이삭으로 말미암으리라 하셨으니
of whom it had been said, It is through Isaac that your posterity will be traced.
19 저가 하나님이 능히 죽은 자 가운데서 다시 살리실 줄로 생각한 지라 비유컨대 죽은 자 가운데서 도로 받은 것이니라
For he accounted God able even to raise from the dead, from whence, figuratively speaking, he did indeed receive him back again.

By faith Moses, when he was grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter,
25 도리어 하나님의 백성과 함께 고난받기를 잠시 죄악의 낙을 누리는 것보다 더 좋아하고
choosing rather to share ill-treatment with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season.
26 그리스도를 위하여 받는 능욕을 애굽의 모든 보화보다 더 큰 재물로 여겼으니 이는 상 주심을 바라봄이라
He accounted the obloquy of Christ to be greater than the treasures of Egypt; for he fixed his eyes on the reward.

And what more shall I say? for time would fail me to tell of Gideon, of Barak, of Samson, and of Jeptha; of David and Samuel and the prophets,
33 저희가 믿음으로 나라들을 이기기도 하며 의를 행하기도 하며 약속을 받기도 하며 사자들의 입을 막기도 하며
who through faith conquered kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,
34 불의 세력을 멸하기도 하며 칼날을 피하기도 하며 연약한 가운데서 강하게 되기도 하며 전쟁에 용맹되어 이방 사람들의 진을 물리치기도 하며
quenched the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, proved valiant in warfare, and routed armies of aliens.

of whom the world was not worthy - wandering in deserts and mountains and caves and holes in the ground.
39 이 사람들이 다 믿음으로 말미암아 증거를 받았으나 약속을 받지 못하였으니
Yet, though these all had witness borne to them by their faith, they received not the promise;
40 이는 하나님이 우리를 위하여 더 좋은 것을 예비하셨은즉 우리가 아니면 저희로 온전함을 이루지 못하게 하려 하심이니라
since it was for us that God had in store some better thing, so that apart from us they should not be perfected.
