Hebreerne 11
1 Men tro er full visshet om det som håpes, overbevisning om ting som ikke sees.
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 For på grunn av den fikk de gamle godt vidnesbyrd.
And for this was the testimony concerning the elders.
3 Ved tro skjønner vi at verden er kommet i stand ved Guds ord, så det som sees, ikke blev til av det synlige. (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 Ved tro bar Abel frem for Gud et bedre offer enn Kain; ved den fikk han det vidnesbyrd at han var rettferdig, idet Gud vidnet om hans gaver, og ved den taler han ennu efter sin død.
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 Ved tro blev Enok bortrykket, så han ikke skulde se døden, og han blev ikke funnet, fordi Gud hadde bortrykket ham. For før han blev bortrykket, fikk han det vidnesbyrd at han tektes Gud;
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 men uten tro er det umulig å tekkes Gud; for den som treder frem for Gud, må tro at han er til, og at han lønner dem som søker ham.
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 Ved tro bygget Noah, varslet av Gud om det som ennu ikke var sett, i hellig frykt en ark til frelse for sitt hus; ved den fordømte han verden og blev arving til rettferdigheten av tro.
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 Ved tro var Abraham lydig da han blev kalt, så han drog ut til det sted han skulde få til arv, og han drog ut uten å vite hvorhen han skulde komme;
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 ved tro opholdt han sig som utlending i det lovede land som i et fremmed land, idet han bodde i telt sammen med Isak og Jakob, medarvingene til det samme løfte;
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 for han ventet på den stad som har de faste grunnvoller, og som Gud er byggmester og skaper til.
for he was expecting the city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is Aloha.
11 Ved tro fikk også Sara kraft til å grunnlegge en ætt, og det til tross for sin alder, da hun aktet ham trofast som gav løftet;
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 derfor blev det også av en, og det en utlevd, avlet så mange som himmelens stjerner og som sanden ved havets strand, som ingen kan telle.
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 I tro døde alle disse uten at de hadde opnådd det som var lovt; men de så det langt borte og hilste det og bekjente at de var fremmede og utlendinger på jorden.
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 For de som sier slikt, gir derved til kjenne at de søker et fedreland;
For they who these things say, make manifest that their city they are seeking.
15 og dersom de hadde tenkt på det som de var kommet fra, da hadde de jo hatt tid til å vende tilbake;
But if that city from which they had gone out they desired, they had opportunity to return and go to it.
16 men nu stunder de efter et bedre, det er et himmelsk; derfor skammer Gud sig ikke ved dem, ved å kalles deres Gud; for han har gjort en stad ferdig til dem.
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 Ved tro ofret Abraham Isak dengang han blev fristet; ja, sin enbårne ofret han som hadde fått løftene,
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 han som det blev sagt til: I Isak skal det nevnes dig en ætt;
for it had been said to him, In Ishok shall be called to thee the seed.
19 for han tenkte at Gud er mektig endog til å opvekke fra de døde, og derfra fikk han ham og likesom tilbake.
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 Ved tro velsignet Isak Jakob og Esau, med syn på det som skulde komme.
By faith in that which was to come, Ishok blessed Jakub and Isu.
21 Ved tro velsignet Jakob døende hver og en av Josefs sønner og tilbad, bøiet over knappen på sin stav.
By faith, when dying, Jakub blessed each of the sons of Jauseph; and worshipped upon the head of his staff.
22 Ved tro talte Josef på sitt siste om Israels barns utgang og gav påbud om sine ben.
By faith Jauseph, when dying, was mindful of the going forth of the sons of Israel, and commanded concerning his bones.
23 Ved tro blev Moses efter sin fødsel skjult i tre måneder av sine foreldre, fordi de så at gutten var fager, og de fryktet ikke for kongens bud.
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 Ved tro nektet Moses, da han var blitt stor, å kalles Faraos datters sønn,
By faith Musha, when he became a man, refused to be called the son of the daughter of Pherun;
25 idet han heller valgte å lide ondt sammen med Guds folk enn å ha en kortvarig nydelse av synden,
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 og aktet Kristi vanære for en større rikdom enn Egyptens skatter; for han så frem til lønnen.
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 Ved tro forlot han Egypten, uten å frykte for kongens vrede; for han holdt ut, som om han så den usynlige.
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 Ved tro holdt han påsken med blodsprengningen, forat ikke ødeleggeren skulde røre deres førstefødte.
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 Ved tro gikk de gjennem det Røde Hav som over tørt land; men da egypterne prøvde på det, druknet de.
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 Ved tro falt Jerikos murer, da de hadde gått omkring dem i syv dager.
By faith the ramparts of Jirichu fell down, after they had been encompassed seven days.
31 Ved tro undgikk skjøgen Rahab å gå til grunne med de vantro, da hun hadde tatt imot speiderne med fred.
By faith Rachob the harlot perished not with those who would not hearken, because she had received the explorers in peace.
32 Og hvorfor taler jeg lenger? Tiden vilde bli mig for kort om jeg skulde fortelle om Gideon og Barak og Samson og Jefta, om David og Samuel og profetene,
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 som ved tro seiret over kongeriker, håndhevde rettferdighet, fikk løfter opfylt, stoppet gapet på løver,
they who through faith conquered kingdoms, and wrought righteousness, and received promises, and shut the mouths of lions,
34 slukket ilds kraft, slapp fra sverds egg, fikk styrke igjen efter sykdom, blev veldige i krig, fikk fienders hærer til å vike;
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 kvinner fikk sine døde igjen ved opstandelse; andre blev utspent til pinsel og vilde ikke ta imot utløsning, forat de kunde få del i en bedre opstandelse;
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 andre fikk lide spott og hudstrykning, ja bånd og fengsel;
But others went through mockings and scourgings; others unto chains and imprisonments were given up,
37 de blev stenet, gjennemsaget, fristet; de døde for sverd; de flakket omkring i fåreskinn, i gjeteskinn, de led mangel, trengsel, hård medferd
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 - verden var dem ikke verd - de vanket om i utørkener og fjell og huler og jordkløfter.
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 Og enda alle disse fikk vidnesbyrd for sin tro, opnådde de ikke det som var lovt,
And these all, of whom there hath been (such) a testimony concerning their faith, received not the promise;
40 fordi Gud forut hadde utsett noget bedre for oss, så de ikke skulde nå fullendelsen uten oss.
because Aloha had afore contemplated for our help, that without us they should not be made perfect.
