希 伯 來 書 11
Chinese New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version
信仰
11 信仰意味着确信我们所期待的事情，肯定我们所看不见的事情。 2 古人就是为此而得到了上帝的赞扬。
3 凭着信仰，我们理解宇宙是在上帝的命令之下创造出来的，因此，可见的事物产生于不可见的事物。
4 凭着信仰，亚伯奉献给上帝的祭物比该隐的祭物更好，因为亚伯的信仰，上帝赞赏他的贡品，称赞他为正直的人。尽管他已经死了，但他依然凭着信仰在说话。
5 凭着信仰，以诺被升到天堂，使他没有经历死亡，人们再也找不到他了。因为上帝把他带走了，他在被提升之前，被赞颂为受到上帝喜欢的人。 6 没有信仰的人是不可能令上帝满意的，因为来到上帝面前的人必须相信上帝的存在，而且相信上帝能够报偿追求他的人。
7 凭着信仰，诺亚对还没有看到的事情听从了警告，他造了一只方舟，使他的全家得救，凭着信仰，他给这个世界定了罪，并成为由信仰而产生的义的继承人。
8 凭着信仰，当亚伯拉罕服从了上帝的召唤，出发到一个他将要继承的地方去了，尽管他不知道要去什么地方，但他还是出发了； 9 凭着信仰，他生活在上帝许诺给他的地方，仿佛是客居异乡，他住在帐篷里，就像继承同一许诺的以撒和雅各一样。 10 他这么做，是因为他向往一个有着永恒基石的城市，这个城市是上帝设计和建造的。
11 凭着信仰，亚伯拉罕虽然已经过了生育年龄，而且撒拉又不能生育，但仍然领受了生儿育女的能力，因为他相信许下这诺言的上帝是可以信赖的。 12 尽管那时亚伯拉罕已行将就木，但是他身后的子孙却多如天上的繁星和海滩上数不清的沙粒。
13 这些人都是怀着信仰死去的。他们没有得到许诺的东西，他们只是远远地看见了那些东西并欢迎它们。他们承认自己只不过是地上异邦人和陌生人。 14 说这些话的人，表明他们正在寻找自己的家园。 15 假如他们当时仍然想念离开的那个家，他们就会有机会回去。 16 但是，他们向往的却是一个更美好的家园，一个天上的家园，因此，上帝不因为被称为他们的上帝而感到羞耻，他为他们准备了一座城市。
17 凭着信仰，当亚伯拉罕接受上帝考验的时候，他把以撒献上做为祭物，的确，接受许诺的他准备牺牲自己的独子。
18 上帝对他说过∶“你的子孙后代全都来自以撒。” 19 亚伯拉罕相信，上帝能够让人起死回生，从象征的意义上来说，他的确得到了死而复活的以撒。
20 凭着信仰，以撒为以扫和雅各的前途祝福， 21 凭着信仰，雅各在临终时祝福约瑟的每一个儿子，并拄着拐杖敬拜上帝。
22 凭着信仰，约瑟在临终前说到以色列人 [a]将要离开埃及，并就自己的遗骨做了嘱咐。
23 凭着信仰，当摩西出生后，因为他的父母看到他是个漂亮的婴儿，便把他藏了三个月，他们不怕国王的命令。
24 凭着信仰，摩西长大后拒绝被称为法老女儿的儿子。 25 他宁愿与上帝的子民们一同忍受虐待，而不去享受罪恶的短暂快乐。 26 在他眼里，为基督 [b]而受到侮辱，比拥有埃及的财宝还要珍贵，因为他期待着未来他的报偿。 27 凭着信仰，他不畏国王的愤怒，离开了埃及。摩西坚持不懈，因为他似乎看见了那位不为人所见的上帝。 28 凭着信仰，他恪守逾越节 [c]，喷洒血水，以便使毁灭天使不能去碰以色列人的长子。
29 凭着信仰，以色列人渡过红海时如履旱地，但是，当埃及人企图渡过红海时，却被淹死了。
30 凭着信仰，人们围着耶利哥的城墙走了七天，城墙终于倒塌了。
31 凭着信仰，妓女喇合没有和那些不服从的人一起被杀死，因为她曾友好地接待过密探。
32 我还能再说什么呢？我没有那么多的时间，一一列举基甸、巴拉、参孙、耶弗他、大卫、撒母耳和先知们的事。 33 凭着信仰，这些人征服了其它王国，建立了正义，并得到了上帝的许诺。他们堵住了狮子之口， 34 扑灭了烈火，逃避了在刀剑下的死亡。他们的懦弱化为坚强。他们在战斗中成长壮大，并且击溃了外邦的敌人。 35 女人们重新得到那些从死里复活的亲人。其他的人虽身受折磨，却拒绝解脱，为的是能够获得更好的复活。 36 一些人面对嘲讽与鞭打，还有一些人面对着锁链与监牢。 37 他们挨石头砸、被锯成两截，被剑杀死。他们披着绵羊皮和山羊皮四处漂泊，穷困潦倒，受迫害与虐待。 38 这个世界不值得他们居住，他们在荒野与山巅间流浪，在山洞和地穴里藏身。
39 这些人因为他们的信仰而受到称赞，但他们并没有得到许诺给他们的一切， 40 因为上帝为我们计划了更美好的事情，因此，他们只有与我们在一起才能完美。

Hebrews 11
King James Version
11 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
2 For by it the elders obtained a good report.
3 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.
4 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 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 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 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 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 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 For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God.
11 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 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 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 For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country.
15 And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned.
16 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 By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son,
18 Of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be called:
19 Accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead; from whence also he received him in a figure.
20 By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come.
21 By faith Jacob, when he was a dying, blessed both the sons of Joseph; and worshipped, leaning upon the top of his staff.
22 By faith Joseph, when he died, made mention of the departing of the children of Israel; and gave commandment concerning his bones.
23 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 By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter;
25 Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;
26 Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward.
27 By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.
28 Through faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of blood, lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them.
29 By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians assaying to do were drowned.
30 By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they were compassed about seven days.
31 By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them that believed not, when she had received the spies with peace.
32 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 Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions.
34 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 Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection:
36 And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment:
37 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 (Of whom the world was not worthy:) they wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.
39 And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise:
40 God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.
