К Евреям 11
New Russian Translation
О вере
11 Вера – это уверенность в том, чего мы с надеждой ожидаем, подтверждение того, чего мы не видим. 2 Древние жили такой верой и заслужили одобрение.
3 Именно верой мы понимаем, что вселенная была создана по повелению Бога и что все видимое было создано из невидимого.
4 Верой Авель принес Богу жертву лучшую, чем Каин. Верой он заслужил одобрение как праведник, когда Бог похвалил его жертву[a]. И, хотя Авель умер, он, благодаря своей вере,[b] все еще говорит.
5 Благодаря вере, Енох был взят из этого мира, не увидев смерти. Его нигде не могли найти, потому что Бог взял его. Но до того, как он был взят, он заслужил одобрение как человек, угодивший Богу[c].
6 Без веры же Богу угодить невозможно, потому что каждый, кто приходит к Нему, должен верить в то, что Он есть и что Он вознаграждает тех, кто Его ищет.
7 Верой Ной, получив предупреждение о том, чего еще нельзя было видеть, в благоговении построил ковчег для спасения своей семьи. В результате мир был осужден[d], а Ной стал наследником праведности, которая приходит через веру[e].
8 Верой Авраам, призванный идти в землю, которую ему было обещано получить в будущем в наследие, подчинился и пошел, хотя он и сам не знал, куда идет[f]. 9 Верой он поселился в обещанной земле как чужеземец, живя в палатках, как и Исаак и Иаков, которые вместе с ним были наследниками согласно тому же обещанию, 10 потому что он ожидал города, стоящего на прочных основаниях, архитектор и строитель которого Сам Бог[g].
11 Верой Авраам стал отцом, хотя и сама Сарра была бесплодна, и он был уже стар, – ведь он полагался на Того, Кто обещал ему[h]. 12 И таким образом, от одного человека, тело которого состарилось, произошло столько людей, сколько звезд в небе и сколько песчинок на берегу моря[i]. 13 Все эти люди так и умерли, храня веру, не дождавшись того, что им было обещано. Они лишь издали видели и приветствовали все это. Они признавали, что на этой земле они всего лишь пришельцы и странники[j]. 14 Те, кто считает себя таковыми, показывают тем самым, что они ищут свою истинную родину. 15 Если бы они думали лишь о той стране, которую им пришлось покинуть, они могли бы в нее и возвратиться. 16 Но на самом деле они стремятся к лучшей стране – к небесной. Поэтому Бог не стыдится называться их Богом, ведь Он приготовил для них город.
17 Верой Авраам, когда Бог испытывал его, принес Исаака в жертву. Ему было дано обещание, и он готов был принести в жертву своего единственного[k] сына, 18 и это невзирая на то, что Бог сказал ему: «Через Исаака ты будешь иметь потомство[l], которое Я тебе обещал»[m]. 19 Авраам считал, что Бог может даже воскрешать из мертвых, и, образно говоря, Исаак был действительно возвращен ему из мертвых.
20 Верой Исаак благословил будущее Иакова и Исава[n].
21 Верой Иаков, находясь при смерти, благословил каждого из сыновей Иосифа и поклонился Богу, оперевшись на свой посох[o].
22 Верой Иосиф в конце своей жизни говорил о выходе израильтян из Египта и сделал распоряжение о своих собственных останках[p].
23 Верой родители Моисея прятали его три месяца после того, как он родился, потому что они видели, что он был прекрасным ребенком, и их не напугал царский указ[q].
24 Верой Моисей, став взрослым, отказался называться сыном дочери фараона. 25 Он предпочел лучше быть притесняемым вместе с народом Божьим, чем наслаждаться кратковременными греховными удовольствиями. 26 Он видел, какая награда ждет его впереди, и поэтому унижение ради Христа для него было ценнее богатств Египта. 27 Верой он вышел из Египта, не боясь гнева царя. Он вытерпел все, как человек, который видел бы перед собой Невидимого[r]. 28 Верой он совершил Пасху с окроплением дверных косяков кровью, чтобы губитель первенцев не прикоснулся к семьям[s] израильтян.
29 Верой народ перешел Красное море[t], как по суше; когда же египтяне попытались сделать то же самое, они утонули[u].
30 Верой упали стены Иерихона после того, как семь дней подряд израильтяне обходили город[v].
31 Верой блудница Раав, с миром приняв израильских лазутчиков, не была убита вместе с неверующими[w].
32 Есть ли нужда говорить больше? Время не позволяет мне рассказать о Гедеоне, Вараке, Самсоне, Иеффае, Давиде, Самуиле и пророках. 33 Они верой покоряли царства, восстанавливали справедливость, получали обещанное, закрывали пасти львам[x], 34 гасили яростное пламя, спасались от острия меча. Их слабость становилась силой, они были крепкими в битве и обращали в бегство чужеземные армии. 35 К женщинам возвращались их умершие[y] близкие, воскрешенные к жизни. Другие были замучены до смерти, отказавшись от предложенной им свободы. Они ожидали воскресения к лучшей жизни. 36 Иные терпели насмешки и побои, а также цепи и темницу. 37 Их побивали камнями, распиливали надвое, убивали мечом, им приходилось скитаться в овечьих и козьих шкурах, они были в нужде, их преследовали и над ними издевались. 38 Те, кого весь мир не был достоин, скитались по пустыням, горам, пещерам и ущельям.
39 Все они получили одобрение Бога за свою веру, но ни один из них при жизни не получил того, что было обещано, 40 потому что и для нас Бог предусмотрел нечто лучшее, чтобы только вместе с нами они достигли совершенства.

Hebrews 11
21st Century 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 those who diligently seek Him.
7 By faith Noah, being warned by God of things not yet seen, moved with fear, prepared an ark for the saving of his house, by 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 later 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 Sarah herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past the age, because she judged Him faithful who had promised.
12 Therefore there sprang even from one, and him as good as dead, as many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and innumerable as the sand which is by the seashore.
13 These all died in faith, not having received the promises but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded by them and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.
14 For those who say such things declare plainly that they are seeking a fatherland.
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, a heavenly one. Therefore 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, “In Isaac shall thy seed be called,”
19 accounting that God was able to raise him up even from the dead, from whence he also received him, in a figurative sense.
20 By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come.
21 By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed both the sons of Joseph and worshiped, leaning upon the top of his staff.
22 By faith Joseph, when he was dying, 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 hidden three months by his parents, because they saw he was a handsome child; and they were not afraid of the king’s edict.
24 By faith Moses, when he had come 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 pleasures of sin for a season,
26 esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt; for he had respect unto the recompense 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, but the Egyptians, in attempting to do so, were drowned.
30 By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they had been compassed about for seven days.
31 By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with those who believed not, having received the spies with peace.
32 And what shall I say more? For the time would fail me to tell of Gideon and of Barak and of Samson and of Jephthah, 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 they were made strong, waxed valiant in battle, and 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 endured the 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.
