Hebreus 11
1 Ora, a fé é o firme fundamento das coisas que se esperam, e a prova das coisas que se não vêem.
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
2 Porque por ella os antigos alcançaram testemunho.
For by it the elders obtained a good report.
3 Pela fé entendemos que os seculos pela palavra de Deus foram creados; de maneira que as coisas que se vêem não foram feitas das que se viam. (aiōn g165)
Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word (rhema) of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. (aiōn g165)
4 Pela fé Abel offereceu a Deus maior sacrificio do que Caim, pela qual alcançou testemunho de que era justo, porquanto Deus deu testemunho dos seus dons, e, depois de morto, ainda falla por ella.
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 speaks.
5 Pela fé Enoch foi trasladado para não ver a morte, e não foi achado, porquanto Deus o trasladara; porque antes da sua trasladação alcançou testemunho de que agradava a Deus.
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 Ora, sem fé é impossivel agradar a Deus: porque é necessario que aquelle que se approxima de Deus creia que elle existe, e que é galardoador dos que o buscam.
But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that comes to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
7 Pela fé Noé, divinamente advertido das coisas que ainda se não viam, temeu, e, para salvação da sua familia, fabricou a arca, pela qual condemnou o mundo, e foi feito herdeiro da justiça que é segundo a fé.

10 Porque esperava a cidade que tem fundamentos, da qual o artifice e fabricador é Deus.
For he looked for a city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God.
11 Pela fé tambem a mesma Sarah recebeu a virtude de conceber, e deu á luz já fóra da edade; porquanto teve por fiel aquelle que lh'o tinha promettido.
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 Pelo que tambem de um, e esse já amortecido, nasceram em tão grande multidão como as estrellas do céu, e como a areia innumeravel que está na praia do mar.
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 Todos estes morreram na fé, sem terem recebido as promessas; porém, vendo-as de longe, e crendo-as e abraçando-as, confessaram que eram estrangeiros e peregrinos na terra.
These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them far off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.
14 Porque os que isto dizem claramente mostram que buscam outra patria.
For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country.
15 E se, na verdade, se lembrassem d'aquella d'onde haviam saido, teriam tempo de tornar para ella.
And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned.
16 Mas agora desejam uma melhor, isto é, a celestial. Pelo que tambem Deus se não envergonha d'elles, de se chamar seu Deus, porque já lhes apparelhou uma cidade.
But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he has prepared for them a city.
17 Pela fé offereceu Abrahão a Isaac, quando foi provado; e aquelle que recebera as promessas offereceu o seu unigenito,

18 Sendo-lhe dito: Em Isaac será chamada a tua descendencia; considerando que Deus era poderoso para até dos mortos o resuscitar.
Of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall your seed be called:
19 Por onde tambem em similhança o tornou a recobrar.

By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter;
25 Escolhendo antes ser maltratado com o povo de Deus de que por um pouco de tempo ter o gozo do peccado;
Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;
26 Tendo por maiores riquezas o vituperio de Christo do que os thesouros do Egypto; porque tinha em vista a recompensa.
Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward.
27 Pela fé deixou o Egypto, não temendo a ira do rei; porque esteve firme, como vendo o invisivel.

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 Os quaes pela fé venceram reinos, exercitaram justiça, alcançaram promessas, fecharam as boccas dos leões,
Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions.
34 Apagaram a força do fogo, escaparam do fio da espada, da fraqueza tiraram forças, na batalha se esforçaram, pozeram em fugida os exercitos dos estranhos.
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 As mulheres tornaram a receber pela resurreição os seus mortos, e outros foram estirados, não acceitando o seu livramento, para alcançarem uma melhor resurreição.

36 E outros experimentaram escarneos e açoites, e até cadeias e prisões;
And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment:
37 Foram apedrejados, serrados, tentados, mortos ao fio da espada; andaram vestidos de pelles de ovelhas e de cabras, desamparados, afflictos e maltratados
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;

(Of whom the world was not worthy: ) they wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.

And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise:
40 Provendo Deus alguma coisa melhor a nosso respeito, para que sem nós não fossem aperfeiçoados.
God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.
