希伯来书 11
Revised Chinese Union Version (Simplified Script) Shen Edition
论信
11 信就是对所盼望之事有把握,对未见之事有确据。 2 古人因着这信获得了赞许。
3 因着信,我们知道这宇宙是藉 神的话造成的。这样,看得见的是从看不见的造出来的。
4 因着信,亚伯献祭给 神比该隐所献的更美,因此获得了赞许为义人, 神亲自悦纳了他的礼物。他虽然死了,却因这信仍旧在说话。 5 因着信,以诺被接去,得以不见死,人也找不着他,因为 神已经把他接去了;只是他被接去以前,已讨得 神的喜悦而蒙赞许。 6 没有信,就不能讨 神的喜悦,因为到 神面前来的人必须信有 神,并且信他会赏赐寻求他的人。 7 因着信,挪亚既蒙 神指示他未见的事,动了敬畏的心,造了方舟,使他全家得救。藉此他定了那世代的罪,自己也承受了那从信而来的义。
8 因着信,亚伯拉罕蒙召的时候就遵命出去,往将来要承受为基业的地方去;他出去的时候还不知往哪里去。 9 因着信,他就在所应许之地作客,好像在异乡,居住在帐棚里,与蒙同一个应许的以撒和雅各一样。 10 因为他等候着那座有根基的城,就是 神所设计和建造的。 11 因着信,撒拉自己已过了生育的年龄还能怀孕,因为她认为应许她的那位是可信的[a]; 12 所以,从一个仿佛已死的人竟生出子孙,如同天上的星那样众多,海边的沙那样无数。
13 这些人都是存着信心死的,并没有得着所应许的,却从远处观望,且欢喜迎接。他们承认自己在地上是客旅,是寄居的。 14 说这样话的人是表明自己要寻找一个家乡。 15 他们若想念所离开的家乡,还有回去的机会。 16 其实他们所羡慕的是一个更美的,就是在天上的家乡。所以, 神并不因他们称他为 神[b]而觉得羞耻,因为他已经为他们预备了一座城。
17 因着信,亚伯拉罕被考验的时候把以撒献上,这就是那领受了应许的人甘心把自己独生的儿子献上。 18 论到这儿子, 神曾说:“从以撒生的才要称为你的后裔。” 19 他认为 神甚至能使人从死人中复活,意味着他得回了他的儿子。 20 因着信,以撒指着将来的事给雅各、以扫祝福。 21 因着信,雅各临死的时候给约瑟的两个儿子个别祝福,扶着拐杖敬拜 神。 22 因着信,约瑟临终的时候提到以色列人将来要出埃及,并为自己的骸骨留下遗言。
23 因着信,摩西生下来,他的父母见他是个俊美的孩子,把他藏了三个月,并不怕王的命令。 24 因着信,摩西长大了不肯称为法老女儿之子。 25 他宁可和 神的百姓一同受苦,也不愿在罪中享受片刻的欢乐。 26 他把为弥赛亚受凌辱看得比埃及的财物更宝贵,因为他想望所要得的赏赐。 27 因着信,他离开埃及,不怕王的愤怒,因为他恒心忍耐,如同看见那不能看见的 神。 28 因着信,他设立逾越节,在门上洒血,免得那毁灭者加害以色列人的长子。 29 因着信,他们过红海如行干地;埃及人试着要过去就被淹没了。 30 因着信,以色列人围绕耶利哥城七日,城墙就倒塌了。 31 因着信,妓女喇合曾友善地接待探子,就没有跟那些不顺从的人一同灭亡。
32 我还要说什么呢?若要一一细说基甸、巴拉、参孙、耶弗他、大卫、撒母耳和众先知的事,时间就不够了。 33 他们藉着信,制伏了敌国,行了公义,得了应许,堵住了狮子的口, 34 灭了烈火的威力,在锋利的刀剑下逃生,从软弱变为刚强,争战中显出勇猛,打退外邦的全军。 35 有些妇人得回从死人中复活的亲人。又有人忍受严刑,拒绝被释放,为要得着更美好的复活。 36 又有人忍受戏弄、鞭打、捆锁、监禁、各等的磨炼; 37 他们被石头打死,被锯锯死,[c]被刀杀,披着绵羊山羊的皮各处奔跑,受贫穷、患难、虐待。 38 这世界配不上他们,他们在旷野、山岭、山洞、地穴,飘流无定。
39 这些人都是因信获得了赞许,却仍未得着所应许的, 40 因为 神给我们预备了更美好的事,若没有我们,他们就不能达到完全。
Hebreos 11
La Biblia de las Américas
La fe y sus héroes
11 Ahora bien, la fe es la certeza[a](A) de lo que se espera(B), la convicción[b] de lo que no se ve(C). 2 Porque por ella recibieron aprobación[c](D) los antiguos[d](E). 3 Por la fe entendemos que el universo[e] fue preparado(F) por(G) la palabra de Dios(H), de modo que lo que se ve no fue hecho de cosas visibles(I). 4 Por la fe Abel ofreció a Dios un mejor sacrificio que Caín(J), por[f] lo cual alcanzó el testimonio de que era justo(K), dando Dios testimonio de sus ofrendas[g](L); y por[h] la fe[i], estando muerto, todavía habla(M). 5 Por la fe Enoc fue trasladado al cielo para que no viera muerte(N); y no fue hallado porque Dios lo trasladó(O); porque antes de ser trasladado recibió testimonio de haber agradado a Dios. 6 Y sin fe es imposible agradar a Dios; porque es necesario que el que se acerca a Dios(P) crea que Él existe, y que es remunerador de los que le buscan. 7 Por la fe Noé(Q), siendo advertido(R) por Dios acerca de cosas que aún no se veían(S), con temor[j](T) preparó un arca para la salvación de su casa(U), por la cual[k] condenó al mundo, y llegó a ser heredero de la justicia que es según la fe(V). 8 Por la fe Abraham, al ser llamado, obedeció(W), saliendo para un lugar que había de recibir como herencia(X); y salió sin saber adónde iba. 9 Por la fe habitó como extranjero en la tierra de la promesa(Y) como en tierra extraña, viviendo en tiendas como[l] Isaac y Jacob(Z), coherederos de la misma promesa(AA), 10 porque esperaba la ciudad(AB) que tiene cimientos(AC), cuyo arquitecto y constructor es Dios(AD). 11 También por la fe Sara misma recibió fuerza para concebir[m](AE), aun pasada ya la edad propicia, pues consideró fiel al que lo había prometido(AF). 12 Por lo cual también nació de uno (y este casi muerto(AG) con respecto a esto) una descendencia como las estrellas del cielo en número, e innumerable como la arena que está a la orilla del mar(AH).
13 Todos estos murieron en fe(AI), sin haber recibido las promesas(AJ), pero habiéndolas visto y aceptado con gusto[n] desde lejos(AK), confesando que eran extranjeros y peregrinos[o] sobre la tierra(AL). 14 Porque los que dicen tales cosas, claramente dan a entender que buscan una patria propia. 15 Y si en verdad hubieran estado pensando en aquella patria de donde salieron, habrían tenido oportunidad de volver(AM). 16 Pero en realidad, anhelan una patria mejor, es decir, celestial(AN). Por lo cual, Dios no se avergüenza(AO) de ser[p] llamado Dios de ellos(AP), pues les ha preparado una ciudad(AQ).
17 Por la fe Abraham, cuando fue probado, ofreció a Isaac(AR); y el que había recibido las promesas(AS) ofrecía a su único[q] hijo; 18 fue a él a quien se le dijo: En Isaac te será llamada descendencia[r](AT). 19 Él consideró[s] que Dios era poderoso para levantar aun de entre los muertos(AU), de donde también, en sentido figurado[t](AV), lo volvió a recibir. 20 Por la fe bendijo Isaac a Jacob y a Esaú(AW), aun respecto a cosas futuras. 21 Por la fe Jacob, al morir, bendijo a cada uno de los hijos de José(AX), y adoró, apoyándose sobre el extremo de su bastón(AY). 22 Por la fe José, al morir, mencionó el éxodo de los hijos de Israel, y dio instrucciones acerca de sus huesos(AZ). 23 Por la fe Moisés, cuando nació, fue escondido por sus padres durante tres meses, porque vieron que era un niño hermoso(BA) y no temieron el edicto del rey(BB). 24 Por la fe Moisés, cuando era ya grande, rehusó ser llamado hijo de la hija de Faraón(BC), 25 escogiendo antes ser maltratado con el pueblo de Dios, que gozar de los placeres temporales del pecado(BD), 26 considerando como mayores riquezas el oprobio de Cristo[u] que los tesoros de Egipto(BE); porque tenía la mirada puesta en la recompensa(BF). 27 Por la fe salió de Egipto(BG) sin temer la ira del rey(BH), porque se mantuvo firme como viendo al Invisible(BI). 28 Por la fe celebró la Pascua y el rociamiento de la sangre(BJ), para que el exterminador de los primogénitos no los tocara(BK). 29 Por la fe pasaron el mar Rojo como por tierra seca, y cuando los egipcios lo intentaron hacer, se ahogaron[v](BL). 30 Por la fe cayeron los muros de Jericó(BM), después de ser rodeados por siete días(BN). 31 Por la fe la ramera Rahab no pereció con los desobedientes, por haber recibido a los espías en[w] paz(BO).
32 ¿Y qué más diré? Pues el tiempo me faltaría para contar de Gedeón(BP), Barac(BQ), Sansón(BR), Jefté(BS), David(BT), Samuel y los profetas(BU); 33 quienes por la fe conquistaron reinos(BV), hicieron justicia(BW), obtuvieron promesas(BX), cerraron bocas de leones(BY), 34 apagaron la violencia del fuego(BZ), escaparon del filo de la espada(CA); siendo débiles[x], fueron hechos fuertes, se hicieron poderosos en la guerra(CB), pusieron en fuga a ejércitos extranjeros(CC). 35 Las mujeres recibieron a sus muertos mediante la resurrección(CD); y otros fueron torturados, no aceptando su liberación[y], a fin de obtener una mejor resurrección. 36 Otros experimentaron[z] vituperios y azotes, y hasta cadenas y prisiones(CE). 37 Fueron apedreados(CF), aserrados(CG), tentados[aa], muertos a espada(CH); anduvieron de aquí para allá cubiertos con pieles de ovejas y de cabras(CI); destituidos, afligidos, maltratados(CJ) 38 (de los cuales el mundo no era digno), errantes por desiertos y montañas, por cuevas y cavernas de la tierra(CK). 39 Y todos estos, habiendo obtenido aprobación[ab] por su fe(CL), no recibieron la promesa(CM), 40 porque Dios había provisto[ac] algo mejor para nosotros(CN), a fin de que ellos no fueran hechos perfectos sin nosotros(CO).

New International Version
Faith in Action
11 Now faith is confidence in what we hope for(A) and assurance about what we do not see.(B) 2 This is what the ancients were commended for.(C)
3 By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command,(D) so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.
4 By faith Abel brought God a better offering than Cain did. By faith he was commended(E) as righteous, when God spoke well of his offerings.(F) And by faith Abel still speaks, even though he is dead.(G)
5 By faith Enoch was taken from this life, so that he did not experience death: “He could not be found, because God had taken him away.”[a](H) For before he was taken, he was commended as one who pleased God. 6 And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him(I) must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.
7 By faith Noah, when warned about things not yet seen,(J) in holy fear built an ark(K) to save his family.(L) By his faith he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness that is in keeping with faith.(M)
8 By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance,(N) obeyed and went,(O) even though he did not know where he was going. 9 By faith he made his home in the promised land(P) like a stranger in a foreign country; he lived in tents,(Q) as did Isaac and Jacob, who were heirs with him of the same promise.(R) 10 For he was looking forward to the city(S) with foundations,(T) whose architect and builder is God.(U) 11 And by faith even Sarah, who was past childbearing age,(V) was enabled to bear children(W) because she[b] considered him faithful(X) who had made the promise. 12 And so from this one man, and he as good as dead,(Y) came descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as countless as the sand on the seashore.(Z)
13 All these people were still living by faith when they died. They did not receive the things promised;(AA) they only saw them and welcomed them from a distance,(AB) admitting that they were foreigners and strangers on earth.(AC) 14 People who say such things show that they are looking for a country of their own. 15 If they had been thinking of the country they had left, they would have had opportunity to return.(AD) 16 Instead, they were longing for a better country—a heavenly one.(AE) Therefore God is not ashamed(AF) to be called their God,(AG) for he has prepared a city(AH) for them.
17 By faith Abraham, when God tested him, offered Isaac as a sacrifice.(AI) He who had embraced the promises was about to sacrifice his one and only son, 18 even though God had said to him, “It is through Isaac that your offspring will be reckoned.”[c](AJ) 19 Abraham reasoned that God could even raise the dead,(AK) and so in a manner of speaking he did receive Isaac back from death.
20 By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau in regard to their future.(AL)
21 By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of Joseph’s sons,(AM) and worshiped as he leaned on the top of his staff.
22 By faith Joseph, when his end was near, spoke about the exodus of the Israelites from Egypt and gave instructions concerning the burial of his bones.(AN)
23 By faith Moses’ parents hid him for three months after he was born,(AO) because they saw he was no ordinary child, and they were not afraid of the king’s edict.(AP)
24 By faith Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be known as the son of Pharaoh’s daughter.(AQ) 25 He chose to be mistreated(AR) along with the people of God rather than to enjoy the fleeting pleasures of sin. 26 He regarded disgrace(AS) for the sake of Christ(AT) as of greater value than the treasures of Egypt, because he was looking ahead to his reward.(AU) 27 By faith he left Egypt,(AV) not fearing the king’s anger; he persevered because he saw him who is invisible. 28 By faith he kept the Passover and the application of blood, so that the destroyer(AW) of the firstborn would not touch the firstborn of Israel.(AX)
29 By faith the people passed through the Red Sea as on dry land; but when the Egyptians tried to do so, they were drowned.(AY)
30 By faith the walls of Jericho fell, after the army had marched around them for seven days.(AZ)
31 By faith the prostitute Rahab, because she welcomed the spies, was not killed with those who were disobedient.[d](BA)
32 And what more shall I say? I do not have time to tell about Gideon,(BB) Barak,(BC) Samson(BD) and Jephthah,(BE) about David(BF) and Samuel(BG) and the prophets, 33 who through faith conquered kingdoms,(BH) administered justice, and gained what was promised; who shut the mouths of lions,(BI) 34 quenched the fury of the flames,(BJ) and escaped the edge of the sword;(BK) whose weakness was turned to strength;(BL) and who became powerful in battle and routed foreign armies.(BM) 35 Women received back their dead, raised to life again.(BN) There were others who were tortured, refusing to be released so that they might gain an even better resurrection. 36 Some faced jeers and flogging,(BO) and even chains and imprisonment.(BP) 37 They were put to death by stoning;[e](BQ) they were sawed in two; they were killed by the sword.(BR) They went about in sheepskins and goatskins,(BS) destitute, persecuted and mistreated— 38 the world was not worthy of them. They wandered in deserts and mountains, living in caves(BT) and in holes in the ground.
39 These were all commended(BU) for their faith, yet none of them received what had been promised,(BV) 40 since God had planned something better for us so that only together with us(BW) would they be made perfect.(BX)

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.
Hebrews 11
New King James Version
By Faith We Understand
11 Now faith is the [a]substance of things hoped for, the [b]evidence (A)of things not seen. 2 For by it the elders obtained a good testimony.
3 By faith we understand that (B)the [c]worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.
Faith at the Dawn of History(C)
4 By faith (D)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 (E)speaks.
5 By faith Enoch was taken away so that he did not see death, (F)“and was not found, because God had taken him”; for before he was taken he had this testimony, that he pleased God. 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.
7 By faith (G)Noah, being divinely warned of things not yet seen, moved with godly fear, (H)prepared an ark for the saving of his household, by which he condemned the world and became heir of (I)the righteousness which is according to faith.
Faithful Abraham(J)
8 By faith (K)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. 9 By faith he dwelt in the land of promise as in a foreign country, (L)dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, (M)the heirs with him of the same promise; 10 for he waited for (N)the city which has foundations, (O)whose builder and maker is God.
11 By faith (P)Sarah herself also received strength to conceive seed, and (Q)she[d] bore a child when she was past the age, because she judged Him (R)faithful who had promised. 12 Therefore from one man, and him as good as (S)dead, were born as many as the (T)stars of the sky in multitude—innumerable as the sand which is by the seashore.
The Heavenly Hope
13 These all died in faith, (U)not having received the (V)promises, but (W)having seen them afar off [e]were assured of them, embraced them and (X)confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. 14 For those who say such things (Y)declare plainly that they seek a homeland. 15 And truly if they had called to mind (Z)that country from which they had come out, they would have had opportunity to return. 16 But now they desire a better, that is, a heavenly country. Therefore God is not ashamed (AA)to be called their God, for He has (AB)prepared a city for them.
The Faith of the Patriarchs(AC)
17 By faith Abraham, (AD)when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises offered up his only begotten son, 18 [f]of whom it was said, (AE)“In Isaac your seed shall be called,” 19 concluding that God (AF)was able to raise him up, even from the dead, from which he also received him in a figurative sense.
20 By faith (AG)Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come.
21 By faith Jacob, when he was dying, (AH)blessed each of the sons of Joseph, and worshiped, leaning on the top of his staff.
22 By faith (AI)Joseph, when he was dying, made mention of the departure of the children of Israel, and gave instructions concerning his bones.
The Faith of Moses(AJ)
23 By faith (AK)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 (AL)command.
24 By faith (AM)Moses, when he became of age, 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 [g]passing pleasures of sin, 26 esteeming (AN)the [h]reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures [i]in Egypt; for he looked to the (AO)reward.
27 By faith (AP)he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he endured as seeing Him who is invisible. 28 By faith (AQ)he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of blood, lest he who destroyed the firstborn should touch them.
29 By faith (AR)they passed through the Red Sea as by dry land, whereas the Egyptians, attempting to do so, were drowned.
By Faith They Overcame
30 By faith (AS)the walls of Jericho fell down after they were encircled for seven days. 31 By faith (AT)the harlot Rahab did not perish with those who [j]did not believe, when (AU)she had received the spies with peace.
32 And what more shall I say? For the time would fail me to tell of (AV)Gideon and (AW)Barak and (AX)Samson and (AY)Jephthah, also of (AZ)David and (BA)Samuel and the prophets: 33 who through faith subdued kingdoms, worked righteousness, obtained promises, (BB)stopped the mouths of lions, 34 (BC)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. 35 (BD)Women received their dead raised to life again.
Others were (BE)tortured, not accepting deliverance, that they might obtain a better resurrection. 36 Still others had trial of mockings and scourgings, yes, and (BF)of chains and imprisonment. 37 (BG)They were stoned, they were sawn in two, [k]were tempted, were slain with the sword. (BH)They wandered about (BI)in sheepskins and goatskins, being destitute, afflicted, tormented— 38 of whom the world was not worthy. They wandered in deserts and mountains, (BJ)in dens and caves of the earth.
39 And all these, (BK)having obtained a good testimony through faith, did not receive the promise, 40 God having provided something better for us, that they should not be (BL)made perfect apart from us.
