Vēstule Ebrējiem 11
1 Bet ticība ir paļaušanās uz lietām, kas cerējamas, un pārliecināšanās par lietām, kas neredzamas.
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
2 Jo caur to tie vecaji liecību ir dabūjuši.
For by it the elders had witness borne to them.
3 Caur ticību mēs noprotam, ka pasaule ir radīta caur Dieva vārdu, tā ka tās redzamās lietas nav cēlušās no redzamām. (aiōn g165)
Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. (aiōn g165)
4 Caur ticību Ābels Dievam lielāku upuri ir pienesis nekā Kains: caur to viņš liecību ir dabūjis, ka viņš taisns, kad Dievs par viņa dāvanām liecināja; un caur to viņš vēl runā, jebšu miris.
By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.
5 Caur ticību Enohs ir aizņemts, tā ka nāvi neredzēja; un viņš netapa atrasts, tāpēc ka Dievs viņu bija aizņēmis; jo pirms viņš tapa aizņemts, viņš liecību ir dabūjis, ka viņš Dievam paticis.
By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.
6 Bet bez ticības nevar Dievam patikt; jo kas pie Dieva nāk, tam būs ticēt, ka Viņš ir un ka būs atmaksātājs tiem, kas Viņu meklē.
But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
7 Caur ticību Noa, no Dieva par to pamācīts, kas nebija redzams, Dievu bīdamies to šķirstu ir uzcirtis savam namam par izglābšanu; caur to viņš pasauli ir notiesājis un iemantojis to taisnību, kas nāk caur ticību.
By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.
8 Caur ticību Ābrahāms aicināts ir paklausījis un izgājis uz to vietu, ko tam bija mantot, un viņš ir izgājis, nezinādams, kur nonākšot.
By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.
9 Caur ticību viņš mājojis tai apsolītā zemē tā kā svešā, un teltīs dzīvojis ar Īzaku un Jēkabu, kas bija tās pašas apsolīšanas līdzmantinieki.
By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise:
10 Jo viņš gaidīja to pilsētu, kam stipri pamati un kam cēlējs un uztaisītājs pats Dievs.
For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God.
11 Caur ticību arī tā pati Sāra spēku dabūjusi, grūta tapt, un dzemdējusi pāri par laiku savā vecumā, jo viņa To turēja par uzticīgu, kas to bija apsolījis.
Through faith also Sarah herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised.
12 Tādēļ arī no viena, un no tā paša izdēdējušā, ir dzimuši tik daudz kā debess zvaigznes un kā smiltis jūrmalā, kas neskaitāmas.
Therefore sprang there even of one, and him as good as dead, so many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable.
13 Šie visi ir miruši iekš ticības un to, kas bija apsolīts, nav panākuši, bet no tālienes redzējuši un ar mieru bijuši un apliecinājuši, ka viņi esot virs zemes viesi un svešinieki.
These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.
14 Jo tie, kas tādas lietas runā, rāda, ka tie tēva zemi meklē.
For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country.
15 Un ja tie būtu prātā turējuši to, no kuras bija izgājuši, tad tiem būtu bijis laiks, atpakaļ griezties.
And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned.
16 Bet nu tie ilgojās pēc vienas labākas, proti debešķīgas; tāpēc Dievs viņu dēļ nekaunas saukties viņu Dievs, jo Viņš tiem pilsētu ir sataisījis.
But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.
17 Caur ticību Ābrahāms, kad tapa pārbaudīts, ir upurējis to Īzaku un atnesis to vienpiedzimušo, lai gan tas tās apsolīšanas bija dabūjis,
By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son,
18 Un uz to bija sacīts: iekš Īzaka tev dzimums taps dēvēts;
Of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be called:
19 Jo viņš domāja, ka Dievs spēcīgs arī no miroņiem uzmodināt; tādēļ viņš to arī kā priekšzīmi atdabūja.
Accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead; from whence also he received him in a figure.
20 Caur ticību Īzaks Jēkabu un Ēsavu ir svētījis par nākamām lietām.
By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come.
21 Caur ticību Jēkabs mirdams katru no Jāzepa dēliem ir svētījis, un ir Dievu pielūdzis, noliecies pār sava zižļa galu.
By faith Jacob, when he was a dying, blessed both the sons of Joseph; and worshipped, leaning upon the top of his staff.
22 Caur ticību Jāzeps mirdams ir sludinājis par Israēla bērnu iziešanu un ir devis pavēli par saviem kauliem.
By faith Joseph, when he died, made mention of the departing of the children of Israel; and gave commandment concerning his bones.
23 Caur ticību Mozus, kad bija piedzimis, tapa apslēpts trīs mēnešus no saviem vecākiem, tādēļ ka tie redzēja, viņu esam krāšņu bērniņu. Un tie nebijās par ķēniņa pavēli.
By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months of his parents, because they saw he was a proper child; and they were not afraid of the king’s commandment.
24 Caur ticību Mozus, kad bija liels palicis, liedzās saukties par Faraona meitas dēlu,
By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter;
25 Un labāki gribēja ļaunu ciest ar Dieva ļaudīm, nekā uz īsu laiku baudīt grēka laimi,
Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;
26 Un turēja Kristus negodu par lielāku bagātību nekā visas Ēģiptes mantas; jo viņš skatījās uz to algu.
Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward.
27 Caur ticību viņš atstāja Ēģipti, nebīdamies no ķēniņa dusmības; jo viņš pastāvīgi turējās pie tā, kas nebija redzams, tā kā viņš to redzētu.
By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.
28 Caur ticību viņš turēja to Pasa un to aplaistīšanu ar asinīm, ka tas pirmdzimušo maitātājs tos neaiztiktu.
Through faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of blood, lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them.
29 Caur ticību tie gāja caur sarkano jūru tā kā pa sausumu, ko ēģiptieši arī raudzījuši un noslīkuši.
By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians assaying to do were drowned.
30 Caur ticību Jērikus mūri ir sagruvuši, kad tie septiņas dienas bija apstāti.
By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they were compassed about seven days.
31 Caur ticību tā mauka Rahaba nav pazudusi līdz ar tiem neticīgiem, kad viņa tos izlūkus ar mieru bija uzņēmusi.
By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them that believed not, when she had received the spies with peace.
32 Un ko lai vēl vairāk saku? Man pietrūktu laika, kad es stāstītu par Gideonu un Baraku un Simsonu un Jeftu un Dāvidu un Samuēli un tiem praviešiem,
And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets:
33 Kas caur ticību ķēniņu valstis ir uzvarējuši, taisnību darījuši, apsolīšanas panākuši, lauvu rīkles aizbāzuši,
Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,
34 Uguns spēku izdzēsuši, zobena asmenim izbēguši, atspirgušies no vājības, karā vareni tapuši, svešu kara spēku uz bēgšanu spieduši;
Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens.
35 Sievas savus mirušos caur augšāmcelšanos ir atdabūjušas, un citi grūti ir mocīti un to izglābšanu nav pieņēmuši, lai labāku augšāmcelšanos dabūtu.
Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection:
36 Un citi mēdīšanas un pātagas ir cietuši un arī saites un cietumu,
And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment:
37 Ar akmeņiem ir nomētāti, ar zāģiem sagriezti, sadedzināti, caur zobenu nomaitāti, avju un kazu ādās viņi apkārt gājuši, atstāti, mocīti, bēdināti;
They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented;
38 (Kuru pasaule nebija vērta) tuksnešos maldījušies un kalnos un alās un zemes bedrēs.
( Of whom the world was not worthy: ) they wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.
39 Un šiem visiem caur ticību liecība ir bijusi, un tie nav panākuši, kas tiem bija solīts,
And these all, having had witness borne to them through faith, received not the promise:
40 Tādēļ ka Dievs priekš mums ko labāku papriekš bija izredzējis, ka tie netaptu pilnīgi bez mums.
God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.
