11 ¶ Lè yon moun di li gen konfyans nan Bondye, sa vle di li sèten li gen pou l' resevwa sa l'ap tann lan. Li gen konviksyon bagay nou pa ka wè ak je nou egziste tout bon vre.

Se paske granmoun lontan yo te gen konfyans nan Bondye kifè Bondye te moutre li dakò ak yo.

Se paske nou gen konfyans nan Bondye kifè nou ka konprann se Pawòl Bondye a ki kreye tout bagay. Li sèvi ak sa nou pa ka wè pou li te fè tou sa nou ka wè.

¶ Se paske Abèl te gen konfyans nan Bondye kifè li te ofri bay Bondye yon ofrann bèt ki pi bon pase pa Kayen an. Paske li te gen konfyans, Bondye asepte l' pou yon moun ki dwat. Se konsa Bondye te asepte kado li te fè l' la. Se paske li te gen konfyans sa a kifè Abèl ap pale toujou jouk koulye a, atout li mouri.

Se paske Enòk te gen konfyans nan Bondye kifè li moute nan syèl la bò kot Bondye san li pa janm mouri; apre sa, pesonn pa janm wè kote l' ye ankò. Se Bondye menm ki te fè pran l' mennen l' bò kote li. Nou jwenn ekri nan Liv la ki jan Enòk te fè Bondye plezi lontan anvan Bondye te fè l' moute nan syèl la.

Nou konnen pesonn pa ka fè Bondye plezi si li pa gen konfyans nan Bondye. Moun ki vle pwoche bò kot Bondye, se pou yo kwè gen yon Bondye, yon Bondye k'ap rekonpanse tout moun k'ap chache li.

Se paske Noe te gen konfyans nan Bondye kifè Bondye te fè l' konnen davans bagay ki tapral rive, bagay li menm Noe pa t' ankò kapab wè. Li koute Bondye, li bati yon gwo batiman. Se ladan batiman sa a li te jwenn delivrans ansanm ak tout fanmi li. Se konsa, li kondannen tout lòt moun yo. Men, Bondye te fè Noe gras paske Noe te gen konfyans sa a nan li.

Se paske Abraram te gen konfyans nan Bondye kifè li te obeyi lè Bondye te rele l' la. Li pati pou peyi Bondye tapral ba li pou pòsyon eritaj pa li. Li leve, li kite peyi l' la, san l' pa t' konnen ki bò li taprale.

Paske li te gen konfyans nan Bondye, se anba tant twal li te rete. Li t'ap viv nan peyi Bondye te pwomèt li a tankou yon etranje ki depasaj. Se konsa Izarak ak Jakòb te fè tou, yo menm ki te resevwa menm pwomès la nan men Bondye.

10 Paske, Abraram menm t'ap tann lavil ki gen bon fonadasyon solid la. Se Bondye ki te fè plan lavil sa a, epi se li menm tou ki te bati li.

11 Se paske Abraram te gen konfyans nan Bondye kifè Bondye te ka fè l' fè pitit, atout li te fin depase laj pou sa, atout Sara pou tèt pa l' tou pa t' kapab fè pitit ankò. Li te sèten Bondye t'ap kenbe pwomès li.

12 Se konsa, yon sèl nonm ki te tou fin mouri rive gen kantite pitit pitit moun pa ka konte: yo tankou zetwal nan syèl la, yo tankou grenn sab bò lanmè.

13 Tout moun sa yo mouri ak konfyans pou Bondye nan kè yo. Yo pa t' gen tan resevwa benediksyon Bondye te pwomèt yo, men yo wè benediksyon yo byen, lwen, yo salwe yo delwen. Yo tout te deklare se etranje depasaj sou latè yo ye, tankou moun yo depòte.

14 Lè yo t'ap pale konsa, yo te tou fè moun wè yo t'ap chache yon peyi ki peyi pa yo.

15 Si yo te regrèt latè apre yo te fin kite l', yo ta ka gen chans tounen ladan l' ankò.

16 Okontrè, yo te dèyè yon lòt peyi ki pi bon, sa vle di: peyi ki nan syèl la. Se poutèt sa, Bondye pa wont di se Bondye yo li ye, paske l'ap pare yon lavil pou yo.

17 Se paske Abraram te gen konfyans nan Bondye kifè li te asepte touye Izarak tankou yon ofrann bèt bay Bondye, lè Bondye te vle wè jouk ki bò konfyans li t'ap rive a. Abraram te tou pare pou l' te ofri bay Bondye sèl pitit gason Bondye te pwomèt li a.

18 Bondye te di l' konsa: Se Izarak ki pral ba ou anpil pitit pitit.

19 Men, Abraram te mete nan tèt li Bondye te gen pouvwa pou l' te fè Izarak leve vivan ankò soti nan lanmò. Se konsa, nan yon sans, nou ka di Izarak soti vivan nan lanmò, li tounen vin jwen papa l' ankò.

20 Se paske Izarak te gen konfyans nan Bondye kifè, lè li t'ap beni Jakòb ak Ezaou, li te pwomèt yo anpil benediksyon pou pita.

21 Se paske Jakòb te gen konfyans nan Bondye kifè li te gen tan beni tout pitit Jozèf yo yonn apre lòt anvan l' mouri. Lèfini li apiye sou tèt baton li, li adore Bondye.

22 Se paske Jozèf te gen konfyans nan Bondye kifè, lè li tapral mouri, li te fè pitit Izrayèl yo konnen yon jou yo te gen pou yo te kite peyi Lejip la. Se lè sa a tou li ba yo lòd sa pou yo fè ak zosman l' yo.

23 Se paske papa ak manman Moyiz te gen konfyans nan Bondye kifè yo te rive sere l' pandan twa mwa apre li te fin fèt. Yo te wè jan li te yon bèl ti pitit, yo pa t' pè dezobeyi lòd wa a te bay la.

24 Se paske Moyiz te gen konfyans nan Bondye kifè, lè li vin gran, li te refize pote non pitit fi farawon an.

25 Li te pito kite yo maltrete li ansanm ak pèp Bondye a, pase pou l' te asepte pran plezi l' nan peche pou yon ti tan.

26 Tankou moun Bondye te chwazi pou voye a, li te konsidere li te pi rich lè yo t'ap pase l' nan betiz pase si l' te gen tout richès ki nan peyi Lejip la. Tou sa, paske je l' te fikse sou rekonpans Bondye t'ap pare pou li a.

27 Se paske Moyiz te gen konfyans nan Bondye kifè li te kouri kite peyi Lejip, san l' pa t' pè kòlè wa a. Li pa t' chanje lide menm, tankou si l' te wè Bondye moun pa ka wè a.

28 Se paske Moyiz te gen konfyans nan Bondye kifè li te fete fèt Delivrans lan, li bay lòd make pòt kay yo ak san an pou zanj Bondye a pa t' touye premye pitit gason pèp Izrayèl yo.

29 Se paske pitit Izrayèl yo te gen konfyans nan Bondye kifè yo te kapab pase nan mitan lanmè Wouj la tankou si yo t'ap mache sou tè sèk. Men, lè moun peyi Lejip yo vin seye fè menm bagay tou, lanmè a kouvri yo.

30 Se paske pitit Izrayèl yo te gen konfyans nan Bondye kifè miray lavil Jeriko a te tonbe, apre pèp la te fin pase sèt jou ap fè wonn lavil la.

31 Se paske Rarab, fanm movèz vi a, te gen konfyans nan Bondye kifè li pa t' mouri ansanm avèk moun ki te desobeyi Bondye yo. Paske, li menm li te byen resevwa espyon pèp Izrayèl yo lakay li.

32 ¶ Kisa m' ta di nou ankò? Se tan mwen pa genyen pou m' ta pale nou sou Gedeyon, Barak, Samson, Jefte, David, Samyèl ak tout pwofèt yo.

33 Ak konfyans yo te gen nan Bondye a, yo goumen, yo pran peyi lòt moun nan men yo, yo gouvènen san patipri, yo resevwa sekou Bondye te pwomèt la. Yo fèmen bouch lyon yo,

34 yo touye gwo gwo dife, yo chape anba men moun ki te vle touye yo ak nepe. Yo te fèb, men yo vin gen fòs, sa te rann yo vanyan anpil nan lagè, kifè yo te ka kraze lame etranje yo.

35 Ak konfyans yo te gen nan Bondye a, anpil fanm wè moun pa yo ki te mouri tounen leve vivan ankò. Gen ladan yo yo matirize jouk yo mouri. Yo refize asepte okenn moun vin delivre yo, pou yo te ka leve soti nan lanmò, antre nan yon lavi ki pi bon.

36 Gen lòt ladan yo moun pase anba betiz, yo bat yo byen bat. Gen lòt ankò yo mare yo ak chenn, yo jete yo nan prizon.

37 Yo touye yo anba kout wòch, yo siye yo fè de moso, yo touye yo ak nepe. Se kouri yo t'ap kouri soti yon kote al nan yon lòt tèlman moun t'ap pèsekite yo, tèlman yo t'ap maltrete yo. Se po mouton ak po kabrit yo pran sèvi rad tèlman yo te pòv.

38 Moun konsa, latè pa t' bon ase pou yo. Yo t'ap kouri moute kouri desann nan dezè yo, nan mòn yo. Yo t'ap viv nan twou wòch ak nan twou tè.

39 Tout moun sa yo, Bondye te dakò ak yo paske yo te gen konfyans nan li. Men, atousa, yo pa t' resevwa sa Bondye te pwomèt la.

40 Bondye te sere yon pi bon bagay ankò pou nou. Li pa t' vle pou moun sa yo te rive bon nèt kite nou dèyè. Sèl jan pou moun sa yo te ka rive bon nèt, se ansanm ak nou.

Faith in Action

11 Now faith is confidence in what we hope for(A) and assurance about what we do not see.(B) This is what the ancients were commended for.(C)

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.

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)

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. 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.

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)

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. 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)
