| 1 | Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. |
|
Έστινδὲπίστιςελπιζομένωνυπόστασις,πραγμάτωνέλεγχοςουβλεπομένων.
|
|
| 2 | For by it the elders obtained a good testimony. |
|
ενταύτηγὰρεμαρτυρήθησανοιπρεσβύτεροι.
|
|
| 3 | By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible. |
|
Πίστεινοοῦμενκατηρτίσθαιτοὺςαιῶναςρήματιθεοῦ,ειςτὸμὴεκφαινομένωντὸβλεπόμενονγεγονέναι.
|
|
| 4 | By faith Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts; and through it he being dead still speaks. |
|
ΠίστειπλείοναθυσίανΆβελπαρὰΚάινπροσήνεγκεντῶθεῶ,δι᾿ῆςεμαρτυρήθηεῖναιδίκαιος,μαρτυροῦντοςεπὶτοῖςδώροιςαυτοῦτοῦθεοῦ,καὶδι᾿αυτῆςαποθανὼνέτιλαλεῖ.
|
|
| 5 | By faith Enoch was taken away so that he did not see death, “and was not found, because God had taken him”; for before he was taken he had this testimony, that he pleased God. |
|
ΠίστειΕνὼχμετετέθητοῦμὴιδεῖνθάνατον,καὶουχηυρίσκετοδιότιμετέθηκεναυτὸνοθεός·πρὸγὰρτῆςμεταθέσεωςμεμαρτύρηταιευαρεστηκέναιτῶθεῶ,
|
|
| 6 | But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. |
|
χωρὶςδὲπίστεωςαδύνατονευαρεστῆσαι,πιστεῦσαιγὰρδεῖτὸνπροσερχόμενοντῶθεῶότιέστινκαὶτοῖςεκζητοῦσιναυτὸνμισθαποδότηςγίνεται.
|
|
| 7 | By faith Noah, being divinely warned of things not yet seen, moved with godly fear, prepared an ark for the saving of his household, by which he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith. |
|
ΠίστειχρηματισθεὶςΝῶεπερὶτῶνμηδέπωβλεπομένωνευλαβηθεὶςκατεσκεύασενκιβωτὸνειςσωτηρίαντοῦοίκουαυτοῦ,δι᾿ῆςκατέκρινεντὸνκόσμον,καὶτῆςκατὰπίστινδικαιοσύνηςεγένετοκληρονόμος.
|
|
| 8 | By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to the place which he would receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going. |
|
ΠίστεικαλούμενοςΑβραὰμυπήκουσενεξελθεῖνειςτόπονὸνήμελλενλαμβάνεινειςκληρονομίαν,καὶεξῆλθενμὴεπιστάμενοςποῦέρχεται.
|
|
| 9 | By faith he dwelt in the land of promise as in a foreign country, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise; |
|
Πίστειπαρώκησενειςγῆντῆςεπαγγελίαςωςαλλοτρίαν,ενσκηναῖςκατοικήσαςμετὰΙσαὰκκαὶΙακὼβτῶνσυγκληρονόμωντῆςεπαγγελίαςτῆςαυτῆς·
|
|
| 10 | for he waited for the city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God. |
|
εξεδέχετογὰρτὴντοὺςθεμελίουςέχουσανπόλιν,ῆςτεχνίτηςκαὶδημιουργὸςοθεός.
|
|
| 11 | By faith Sarah herself also received strength to conceive seed, and she bore a child when she was past the age, because she judged Him faithful who had promised. |
|
Πίστει—καὶαυτὴΣάρραστεῖρα—δύναμινειςκαταβολὴνσπέρματοςέλαβενκαὶπαρὰκαιρὸνηλικίας,επεὶπιστὸνηγήσατοτὸνεπαγγειλάμενον·
|
|
| 12 | Therefore from one man, and him as good as dead, were born as many as the stars of the sky in multitude—innumerable as the sand which is by the seashore. |
|
διὸκαὶαφ᾿ενὸςεγεννήθησαν,καὶταῦτανενεκρωμένου,καθὼςτὰάστρατοῦουρανοῦτῶπλήθεικαὶωςηάμμοςηπαρὰτὸχεῖλοςτῆςθαλάσσηςηαναρίθμητος.
|
|
| 13 | These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off were assured of them, embraced them and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. |
|
Κατὰπίστιναπέθανονοῦτοιπάντες,μὴκομισάμενοιτὰςεπαγγελίας,αλλὰπόρρωθεναυτὰςιδόντεςκαὶασπασάμενοι,καὶομολογήσαντεςότιξένοικαὶπαρεπίδημοίεισινεπὶτῆςγῆς·
|
|
| 14 | For those who say such things declare plainly that they seek a homeland. |
|
οιγὰρτοιαῦταλέγοντεςεμφανίζουσινότιπατρίδαεπιζητοῦσιν.
|
|
| 15 | And truly if they had called to mind that country from which they had come out, they would have had opportunity to return. |
|
καὶειμὲνεκείνηςμνημονεύουσιναφ᾿ῆςεξέβησαν,εῖχονὰνκαιρὸνανακάμψαι·
|
|
| 16 | But now they desire a better, that is, a heavenly country. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has prepared a city for them. |
|
νῦνδὲκρείττονοςορέγονται,τοῦτ᾿έστινεπουρανίου.διὸουκεπαισχύνεταιαυτοὺςοθεὸςθεὸςεπικαλεῖσθαιαυτῶν,ητοίμασενγὰραυτοῖςπόλιν.
|
|
| 17 | By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises offered up his only begotten son, |
|
ΠίστειπροσενήνοχενΑβραὰμτὸνΙσαὰκπειραζόμενος,καὶτὸνμονογενῆπροσέφερενοτὰςεπαγγελίαςαναδεξάμενος,
|
|
| 18 | of whom it was said, “In Isaac your seed shall be called,” |
|
πρὸςὸνελαλήθηότιΕνΙσαὰκκληθήσεταίσοισπέρμα,
|
|
| 19 | concluding that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead, from which he also received him in a figurative sense. |
|
λογισάμενοςότικαὶεκνεκρῶνεγείρεινδυνατὸςοθεός·όθεναυτὸνκαὶενπαραβολῆεκομίσατο.
|
|
| 20 | By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come. |
|
ΠίστεικαὶπερὶμελλόντωνευλόγησενΙσαὰκτὸνΙακὼβκαὶτὸνΗσαῦ.
|
|
| 21 | By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, and worshiped, leaning on the top of his staff. |
|
ΠίστειΙακὼβαποθνήσκωνέκαστοντῶνυιῶνΙωσὴφευλόγησεν,καὶπροσεκύνησενεπὶτὸάκροντῆςράβδουαυτοῦ.
|
|
| 22 | By faith Joseph, when he was dying, made mention of the departure of the children of Israel, and gave instructions concerning his bones. |
|
ΠίστειΙωσὴφτελευτῶνπερὶτῆςεξόδουτῶνυιῶνΙσραὴλεμνημόνευσεν,καὶπερὶτῶνοστέωναυτοῦενετείλατο.
|
|
| 23 | By faith Moses, when he was born, was hidden three months by his parents, because they saw he was a beautiful child; and they were not afraid of the king’s command. |
|
ΠίστειΜωυσῆςγεννηθεὶςεκρύβητρίμηνονυπὸτῶνπατέρωναυτοῦ,διότιεῖδοναστεῖοντὸπαιδίον,καὶουκεφοβήθησαντὸδιάταγματοῦβασιλέως.
|
|
| 24 | By faith Moses, when he became of age, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter, |
|
ΠίστειΜωυσῆςμέγαςγενόμενοςηρνήσατολέγεσθαιυιὸςθυγατρὸςΦαραώ,
|
|
| 25 | choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God than to enjoy the passing pleasures of sin, |
|
μᾶλλονελόμενοςσυγκακουχεῖσθαιτῶλαῶτοῦθεοῦὴπρόσκαιρονέχειναμαρτίαςαπόλαυσιν,
|
|
| 26 | esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt; for he looked to the reward. |
|
μείζοναπλοῦτονηγησάμενοςτῶνΑιγύπτουθησαυρῶντὸνονειδισμὸντοῦΧριστοῦ,απέβλεπενγὰρειςτὴνμισθαποδοσίαν.
|
|
| 27 | By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he endured as seeing Him who is invisible. |
|
ΠίστεικατέλιπενΑίγυπτον,μὴφοβηθεὶςτὸνθυμὸντοῦβασιλέως,τὸνγὰραόρατονωςορῶνεκαρτέρησεν.
|
|
| 28 | By faith he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of blood, lest he who destroyed the firstborn should touch them. |
|
Πίστειπεποίηκεντὸπάσχακαὶτὴνπρόσχυσιντοῦαίματος,ίναμὴοολοθρεύωντὰπρωτότοκαθίγηαυτῶν.
|
|
| 29 | By faith they passed through the Red Sea as by dry land, whereas the Egyptians, attempting to do so, were drowned. |
|
ΠίστειδιέβησαντὴνΕρυθρὰνΘάλασσανωςδιὰξηρᾶςγῆς,ῆςπεῖρανλαβόντεςοιΑιγύπτιοικατεπόθησαν.
|
|
| 30 | By faith the walls of Jericho fell down after they were encircled for seven days. |
|
ΠίστειτὰτείχηΙεριχὼέπεσανκυκλωθένταεπὶεπτὰημέρας.
|
|
| 31 | By faith the harlot Rahab did not perish with those who did not believe, when she had received the spies with peace. |
|
ΠίστειΡαὰβηπόρνηουσυναπώλετοτοῖςαπειθήσασιν,δεξαμένητοὺςκατασκόπουςμετ᾿ειρήνης.
|
|
| 32 | And what more shall I say? For the time would fail me to tell of Gideon and Barak and Samson and Jephthah, also of David and Samuel and the prophets: |
|
Καὶτίέτιλέγω;επιλείψειμεγὰρδιηγούμενονοχρόνοςπερὶΓεδεών,Βαράκ,Σαμψών,Ιεφθάε,ΔαυίδτεκαὶΣαμουὴλκαὶτῶνπροφητῶν,
|
|
| 33 | who through faith subdued kingdoms, worked righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, |
|
οὶδιὰπίστεωςκατηγωνίσαντοβασιλείας,ειργάσαντοδικαιοσύνην,επέτυχονεπαγγελιῶν,έφραξανστόματαλεόντων,
|
|
| 34 | quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, became valiant in battle, turned to flight the armies of the aliens. |
|
έσβεσανδύναμινπυρός,έφυγονστόματαμαχαίρης,εδυναμώθησαναπὸασθενείας,εγενήθησανισχυροὶενπολέμω,παρεμβολὰςέκλιναναλλοτρίων·
|
|
| 35 | Women received their dead raised to life again. Others were tortured, not accepting deliverance, that they might obtain a better resurrection. |
|
έλαβονγυναῖκεςεξαναστάσεωςτοὺςνεκροὺςαυτῶν·άλλοιδὲετυμπανίσθησαν,ουπροσδεξάμενοιτὴναπολύτρωσιν,ίνακρείττονοςαναστάσεωςτύχωσιν·
|
|
| 36 | Still others had trial of mockings and scourgings, yes, and of chains and imprisonment. |
|
έτεροιδὲεμπαιγμῶνκαὶμαστίγωνπεῖρανέλαβον,έτιδὲδεσμῶνκαὶφυλακῆς·
|
|
| 37 | They were stoned, they were sawn in two, were tempted, were slain with the sword. They wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins, being destitute, afflicted, tormented— |
|
ελιθάσθησαν,επρίσθησαν,ενφόνωμαχαίρηςαπέθανον,περιῆλθονενμηλωταῖς,εναιγείοιςδέρμασιν,υστερούμενοι,θλιβόμενοι,κακουχούμενοι,
|
|
| 38 | of whom the world was not worthy. They wandered in deserts and mountains, in dens and caves of the earth. |
|
ῶνουκῆνάξιοςοκόσμος,επὶερημίαιςπλανώμενοικαὶόρεσινκαὶσπηλαίοιςκαὶταῖςοπαῖςτῆςγῆς.
|
|
| 39 | And all these, having obtained a good testimony through faith, did not receive the promise, |
|
Καὶοῦτοιπάντεςμαρτυρηθέντεςδιὰτῆςπίστεωςουκεκομίσαντοτὴνεπαγγελίαν,
|
|
| 40 | God having provided something better for us, that they should not be made perfect apart from us. |
|
τοῦθεοῦπερὶημῶνκρεῖττόντιπροβλεψαμένου,ίναμὴχωρὶςημῶντελειωθῶσιν.
|
