Hebreo 11
1 Fatokisañe ty mamente o raha tamaeñeo, ty fampibentarañe o raha tsy oniñeo.
NOW faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
2 Ie ty nahazoa’ o taoloo to.
For by it the elders obtained a good report.
3 Fatokisañe ty ahaoniñan-tika amy Tsinaran’ Añaharey, te tsy nalaha’e amo raha oniñeo o raha miboake amo sào. (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 Fatokisañe ty nañengà’ i Abela aman’ Añahare soroñe soa te amy Kaina, vaho nitaroñeñe te vantañe, ie nitsaraen’ Añahare i banabana’ey, toe misaontsy re ndra te nihomake.
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 Fatokisañe ty nampionjoneñe i Enoke tsy handia havilasy, ie tsy nitendreke fa rinamben’ Añahare; ie nitaroñeñe taolo’ ty nampionjonañe aze te nisohen’ Añahare.
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 Tsy mahafale Aze t’ie tsy amam-patokisañe. Amy te ze hañarine aman’ Añahare, tsy mete tsy matoky t’ie eo, naho manambe ty mitsoek’ aze.
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 Fatokisañe am-pañeveñañe ty nandranjia’ i Noe lakan-katae ty amy hatahatan’ Añaharey o raha mbe tsy rendrekeo, handrombaha’e i hasavereña’ey, ie ty namarañe ty tane bey toy, naho nampandovañe i havantañam-patokisañey.
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 Fatokisañe ty niantofa’ i Abraàme, ie kinanjy hienga mb’an-tane ho rambese’e afara ho lova, vaho nionjoñe mb’eo tsy nahafohiñe ty hombà’e.
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 Fatokisañe ty nañialoa’e an-tane nampitamaeñey, hoe ambahiny, ie nimoneñe an-kivoho mindre am’ Ietsake naho Iakobe, mpitrao-lova ama’e amy fampitamàñey.
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 Toe i rova reke-manantañey ty nitamà’e, i rinanjin’ Añahare naho tsinene’ey.
For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God.
11 Fatokisañe ka, ty nampaozatse i Saràe hiareñe, naho nahasamak’ anake ndra te losotse o taoñe nahampela azeo, ie niantoke te migahiñe i Nampitàmay.
Through faith also Sara 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 Aa le sinama’ i fa hihomakey, ty mira ami’ty hatozantoza’ o vasian-dikerañeo naho o faseñe añ’ olon-driake tsy lefe iaheñeo.
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 Songa nivilasy am-patokisañe, tsy tam’ iereo o nampitamañeo; fe nioni’ iereo tsietoimoneñe añe, le nisalalaeñe, vaho niantofa’ iereo t'ie renetane, mpañialo an-tane atoy.
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 Ampalangese’ o mitaroñe izaio te mitamà tanen-droae.
For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country.
15 Aa naho nimaniña’ iareo i tane niboahañey, le nalalake t'ie ho nimpoly.
And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned.
16 F’ie nitamà ty soa—toe i andindìñe añey. Ie amy zay, tsy mahasalatse an’ Andrianañahare ty atao Andrianañahare’ iareo vaho nihalankàña’e rova.
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 Fatokisañe ty nañengà’ i Abraàme t’Ietsake, ie nitsoheñe; nengae’ i nandrambe i fitamañeiy i bako toka’ey,
By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son,
18 ie nanoañe ty hoe: Am’ Isaka ty hikanjiañe o tarira’oo.
Of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be called:
19 Natokisa’e te lefen’ Añahare ty hampitroatse ty nihomake, le ao ty nandrambesa’e aze am-pandrazañañe.
Accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead; from whence also he received him in a figure.
20 Fatokisañe ty nitatà’ Isaka t’Iakobe naho i Esave amo raha ho avio.
By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come.
21 Fatokisañe ty nitatà’ Iakobe fa hihomakey i ana’ Iosefe rey vaho nitalaho t’ie niato andoham-pitoño’e.
By faith Jacob, when he was a dying, blessed both the sons of Joseph; and worshipped, leaning upon the top of his staff.
22 Fatokisañe ty nitokia’ Iosefe, ie fa hèta’ey, ty hiavota’ o nte-Israeleo vaho toe nafè’e o taola’eo.
By faith Joseph, when he died, made mention of the departing of the children of Israel; and gave commandment concerning his bones.
23 Fatokisañe ty nañetahan-droae’ i Mosè aze te nitoly, naho nioni’ iareo t’ie ajaja soa, vaho tsy nahahembañe iareo ty nafè’ i mpanjakay.
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 Fatokisañe ty nifoneña’ i Mosè tsy hatao ana’ ty anak’ ampela’ i Farao, ie fa niañoñ’ay,
By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter;
25 te mone jinobo’e ty hifeake fampisoañañe mindre am’ondatin’ Añahareo, ta t’ie hanañ’andro hieranerañe an-kakeo;
Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;
26 natao’e te vara mandikoatse ty harea’ i Egipte ty ìnje’ i Norizañey, amy te nitalakese’e i tambe’ey.
Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward.
27 Fatokisañe ty niengà’e i Egipte, tsy nihembaña’e ty haviñera’ i mpanjakay; fe nifeake hoe te niisa’e i tsy isakey.
By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.
28 Fatokisañe ty nahahenefa’e i Fihelañey, naho i fitse-lioy, tsy hipaoha’ i mpanjaman-tañoloñolòñañey iareo.
Through faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of blood, lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them.
29 Fatokisañe ty nitoaña’ iareo i Riake Menay hoe an-tane maike, fe nagedra’e o nte Egipte nahavany nisoroke ama'eo.
By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians assaying to do were drowned.
30 Fatokisañe ty nampiforetrake o kijoli’ i Jerikòo, ie niariaria’ iareo fito andro.
By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they were compassed about seven days.
31 Fatokisañe ty tsy nitraofa’ i Rahaba karapilo fivetrak’ amo nanjehatseo ie nandrambe i mpifilo rey am-panintsiñañe.
By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them that believed not, when she had received the spies with peace.
32 Aa inon-ka ty hataliliko? Fa hilesa ty andro naho taroñeko i Gideona naho i Baraka naho i Samsone naho i Jefta, i Davide ka, naho i Samoela vaho o mpitokio,
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 ie am-patokisañe ro nampiambane fifeheañe, nitolon-kavantañañe, nahazo fampitamàñe, nampitsiteke ty vavan-diona,
Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,
34 namono ty afo nisotratràke, nibolititse ami’ty lelam-pibara, ni-haozareñe te naifoifo, nifanalolahy añ’aly vaho nampitriban-day o lahin-defon’ ambahinio.
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 Rinambe’ o rakembao o vilasi’ iareoo te vinañon-ko veloñe; nisamporeraheñe ty ila’e nitoky tsy hahañe, handrambesa’ iareo ty fitroarañe soa,
Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection:
36 nitsoehem-pañinjeañe naho firiso ty ila’e, mbore vinahotse vaho najo am-pandrohizañe ao.
And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment:
37 Finetsa-bato iereo, linily lasý, nizizieñe, vinono am-pibara, nirererere an-kolits’ añondry naho holits’ ose, nibangý, niforekekèñe, nivolevolèñe—
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 tsy nañeva iareo ty voatse toy—nisariosario an-dratraratra añe naho am-bohitse ao naho an-dakato vaho an-kobo’ ty tane toy ao.
(Of whom the world was not worthy: ) they wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.
39 Ie iaby rezay, niventem-patokisañe, fe tsy nandrambe i nampitamaeñey.
And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise:
40 Amy te lombolombon-kasoa ty natolon’ Añahare aman-tika, te tsy ho fonireñe iereo naho tsy itika.
God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.
