Hebreo 11
Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
Mga Dakilang Halimbawa ng Pananampalataya
11 Ang pananampalataya ay ang katiyakan na matatanggap natin ang mga bagay na inaasahan natin. At ito ay ang pagiging sigurado sa mga bagay na hindi natin nakikita. 2 Dahil sa pananampalataya ng mga ninuno natin, kinalugdan sila ng Dios. 3 Dahil sa pananampalataya, alam natin na ang sanlibutan ay ginawa ng Dios sa pamamagitan ng kanyang salita. Kaya ang mga bagay na nakikita natin ay galing sa mga hindi nakikita.
4 Dahil sa pananampalataya, nag-alay si Abel ng mas mabuting handog kaysa kay Cain. At dahil sa pananampalataya niya, itinuring siyang matuwid ng Dios, dahil tinanggap ng Dios ang handog niya. Kaya kahit patay na si Abel, may itinuturo pa rin siya sa atin sa pamamagitan ng pananampalataya niya.
5 Dahil sa pananampalataya, hindi namatay si Enoc kundi dinala siya sa langit,[a] “Hindi na siya nakita pa dahil dinala siya ng Dios.”[b] Ayon sa Kasulatan dinala siya dahil nalugod ang Dios sa buhay niya. 6 Hindi makapagbibigay-lugod sa Dios ang taong walang pananampalataya, dahil ang sinumang lumalapit sa kanya ay dapat maniwalang may Dios at nagbibigay siya ng gantimpala sa mga taong humahanap sa kanya.
7 Dahil sa pananampalataya, pinakinggan ni Noe ang babala ng Dios tungkol sa mga bagay na mangyayari kahit hindi pa niya nakikita. Kaya gumawa siya ng isang barko para mailigtas niya ang kanyang sarili at ang pamilya niya. At sa pananampalataya niya, hinatulan ang mga tao sa mundo, pero itinuring siyang matuwid ng Dios.
8 Dahil sa pananampalataya, sinunod ni Abraham ang utos ng Dios na pumunta sa lugar na ipinangako sa kanya. Umalis siya sa bayan niya kahit hindi niya alam kung saan siya pupunta. 9 Dahil din sa pananampalataya, nanirahan si Abraham sa lupaing ipinangako sa kanya ng Dios kahit na sa tolda lang siya tumira na parang isang dayuhan. Tumira rin sa tolda ang anak niya na si Isaac at apong si Jacob, na mga tagapagmana rin ng pangako ng Dios. 10 Sapagkat ang talagang inaasahan ni Abraham ay isang lungsod na may matibay na pundasyon, na ang Dios mismo ang nagplano at nagtayo.
11 Dahil sa pananampalataya, nagkaanak si Abraham kahit na matanda na siya at baog ang asawa niyang si Sara, dahil naniwala si Abraham na tutuparin ng Dios ang pangako niya na magkakaanak si Sara. 12 Kaya mula kay Abraham, na wala nang pag-asang magkaanak pa,[c] nagmula ang isang lahi na kasindami ng mga bituin sa langit at buhangin sa dalampasigan.
13 Ang lahat ng taong itoʼy namatay na sumasampalataya. Hindi man nila natanggap ang mga pangako ng Dios noong nabubuhay pa sila, natitiyak naman nilang darating ang araw na matatanggap nila ang kanilang hinihintay. Itinuring nilang mga dayuhan ang sarili nila at naninirahan lang sa mundong ito. 14 Ang mga taong may ganitong pananaw ay nagpapahiwatig na naghahanap sila ng sariling bayan. 15 Kung ang bayang iniwan nila ang iniisip nila, may pagkakataon pa silang makabalik. 16 Ngunit hinahangad nila ang mas mabuting lugar, at itoʼy walang iba kundi ang lungsod na nasa langit. Kaya hindi ikinakahiya ng Dios na siyaʼy tawagin nilang Dios, dahil ipinaghanda niya sila ng isang lungsod.
17-18 Dahil sa pananampalataya, handang ihandog ni Abraham ang kaisa-isa niyang anak na si Isaac nang subukin siya ng Dios. Kahit na alam niyang si Isaac ang ipinangako ng Dios na pagmumulan ng kanyang lahi, handa pa rin niya itong ialay.[d] 19 Sapagkat nanalig si Abraham na kung mamamatay si Isaac, muli siyang bubuhayin ng Dios. At ganoon nga ang nangyari – parang bumalik sa kanya si Isaac mula sa kamatayan.
20 Dahil sa pananampalataya, binasbasan ni Isaac sina Jacob at Esau para maging mabuti ang hinaharap nila.
21 Dahil sa pananampalataya, binasbasan ni Jacob ang mga anak ni Jose bago siya namatay. At sumamba siya sa Dios habang nakatukod sa kanyang tungkod.
22 Dahil sa pananampalataya, sinabi ni Jose nang malapit na siyang mamatay na aalis ang mga Israelita sa Egipto, at ipinagbilin niyang dalhin nila ang mga buto niya kapag umalis na sila.
23 Dahil sa pananampalataya, hindi natakot sumuway ang mga magulang ni Moises sa utos ng hari. Sapagkat nang makita nilang maganda ang sanggol, itinago nila ito sa loob ng tatlong buwan.
24 Dahil sa pananampalataya, nang malaki na si Moises ay tumanggi siyang tawaging anak ng prinsesa ng Egipto. 25 Mas ginusto niyang makibahagi sa paghihirap na dinaranas ng mga taong sakop ng Dios kaysa lasapin ang mga panandaliang kaligayahan na dulot ng kasalanan. 26 Itinuring niyang mas mahalaga ang maalipusta para kay Cristo kaysa sa mga kayamanan ng Egipto, dahil inaasam niya ang gantimpalang matatanggap niya.
27 Dahil sa pananampalataya, iniwan ni Moises ang Egipto at hindi siya natakot kahit na magalit ang hari sa kanya. Nanindigan siya dahil parang nakita niya ang Dios na hindi nakikita. 28 Dahil sa pananampalataya niya, sinimulan niya ang pagdaraos ng Pista ng Paglampas ng Anghel. Inutusan niya ang mga Israelita na pahiran ng dugo ng tupa ang mga pintuan nila, para maligtas ang mga panganay nila sa anghel na papatay sa mga panganay ng mga Egipcio.
29 Dahil sa pananampalataya, nakatawid ang mga Israelita sa Dagat na Pula na parang dumadaan sa tuyong lupa. Pero nang sinubukang tumawid ng mga humahabol na Egipcio, nalunod sila.
30 Dahil sa pananampalataya, gumuho ang mga pader ng Jerico matapos itong ikutan ng mga Israelita sa loob ng pitong araw.
31 Dahil sa pananampalataya, tinulungan ni Rahab na babaeng bayaran ang mga espiya at hindi siya pinatay kasama ng mga kababayan niyang suwail sa Dios.
32 Kailangan ko pa bang magbigay ng maraming halimbawa? Kakapusin ako ng panahon kung iisa-isahin ko pa ang mga ginawa nina Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jefta, David, Samuel, at ng iba pang mga propeta. 33 Dahil sa pananampalataya nila, nilupig nila ang mga kaharian, namahala sila nang may katarungan, at tinanggap nila ang mga ipinangako ng Dios. Dahil sa pananampalataya nila, hindi sila ginalaw ng mga leon, 34 hindi sila napaso sa nagliliyab na apoy, at nakaligtas sila sa kamatayan sa pamamagitan ng espada. Ang iba sa kanilaʼy mahihina, pero pinalakas sila ng Dios. At naging makapangyarihan sila sa digmaan at nilupig ang mga dayuhang hukbo. 35 May mga babae naman na dahil sa pananampalataya nila sa Dios ay muling nabuhay ang kanilang mga anak na namatay. Ang iba namang sumasampalataya sa Dios ay pinahirapan hanggang sa mamatay. Tinanggihan nila ang alok na kalayaan kapalit ng pagtalikod nila sa kanilang pananampalataya dahil nalalaman nilang darating ang araw na bubuhayin sila ng Dios at matatanggap nila ang mas mabuting gantimpala. 36 Ang iba naman ay dumanas ng mga panlalait at panghahagupit dahil sa pananampalataya nila, at ang iba ay ikinadena at ibinilanggo. 37 Pinagbabato ang iba hanggang sa mamatay, ang iba naman ay nilagari hanggang mahati ang katawan nila, at mayroon ding pinatay sa espada. Ang ilan sa kanila ay nagdamit na lang ng balat ng tupa at kambing. Naranasan nilang maghikahos, usigin at apihin. 38 Nagtago sila sa mga ilang, mga kabundukan, mga kweba at mga lungga sa lupa. Hindi karapat-dapat ang mundong ito para sa kanila.
39 Kinalugdan silang lahat ng Dios dahil sa pananampalataya nila. Ngunit hindi nila natanggap sa panahon nila ang ipinangako ng Dios sa kanila. 40 Itoʼy dahil may mas mabuting plano ang Dios para sa atin, dahil nais niyang makasama nila tayo kapag tinupad na niya ang ipinangako niya sa kanila.
希伯来书 11
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
论信心
11 信就是对所盼望的事的把握,是还没有看见的事的明证。 2 因着这信心,古人得到了称许。
3 因着信,我们就明白宇宙(“宇宙”或译:“诸世界”或“众世代”)是因着 神的话造成的。这样,那看得见的就是从那看不见的造出来的。
信心的伟人
4 因着信,亚伯比该隐献上更美的祭品给 神;借着这信心,他被 神称许为义人,这是 神指着他的礼物所作的见证;他虽然死了,却借着信仍然说话。 5 因着信,以诺被迁去了,使他不至于死,人也找不着他,因为 神把他迁去了。原来在迁去以前,他已经得了 神喜悦他的明证。 6 没有信,就不能得到 神的喜悦;因为来到 神面前的人,必须信 神存在,并且信他会赏赐那些寻求他的人。 7 因着信,挪亚在还没有看见的事上,得了 神的警告,就动了敬畏的心,做了一艘方舟,使他全家得救。借着这信心,他就定了那世代的罪,自己也承受了那因信而来的义。
8 因着信,亚伯拉罕在蒙召的时候,就听命往他将要承受为业的地方去;他出去的时候,还不知道要往哪里去。 9 因着信,他在应许之地寄居,好象是在异乡,与承受同样应许的以撒、雅各一样住在帐棚里。 10 因为他等待那座有根基的城,就是 神所设计所建造的。 11 因着信,甚至撒拉,她虽然过了生育的年龄,还是能够怀孕,因为她认为那应许她的是信实的。 12 所以从一个好象已死的人,竟然生出许多子孙来,仿佛天上的星那么众多,海边的沙那么无数。
13 这些人都是存着信心死了的,还没有得着所应许的,只不过是从远处看见,就表示欢迎,又承认他们在世上是异乡人,是客旅。 14 因为说这样话的人,是表明他们在寻求一个家乡。 15 如果他们怀念已经离开了的地方,还有可以回去的机会。 16 但是现在他们所向往的,是一个更美的、在天上的家乡。所以, 神不以他们称他为 神而觉得羞耻;因为他已经为他们预备了一座城。
17 因着信,亚伯拉罕在受试验的时候,就把以撒献上;这就是那欢喜领受应许的人,献上了自己的独生子; 18 论到这个儿子,曾经有话说:“以撒生的,才可以称为你的后裔。” 19 亚伯拉罕认定, 神能使人从死人中复活,因此,就喻意说,他的确从死里得回他的儿子。 20 因着信,以撒给雅各和以扫祝福,论到将来的事。 21 因着信,雅各临死的时候,分别为约瑟的儿子祝福,又倚着杖头敬拜 神。 22 因着信,约瑟临终的时候,提到以色列子民出埃及的事,并且为自己的骸骨留下遗言。
23 因着信,摩西的父母在摩西生下来以后,因为看见孩子俊美,就把他藏了三个月,不怕王的命令。 24 因着信,摩西长大了以后,就拒绝被称为法老女儿的儿子。 25 他宁愿选择和 神的子民一同受苦,也不肯享受罪恶中暂时的快乐。 26 在他看来,为着基督受的凌辱,比埃及的财物更宝贵,因为他注视将来的赏赐。 27 因着信,他离开了埃及,不怕王的忿怒;因为他坚定不移,就像看见了人不能看见的 神。 28 因着信,他立了逾越节和洒血的礼,免得那灭命的侵犯以色列人的长子。 29 因着信,他们走过了红海,好象走过旱地一样;埃及人也试着要过去,就被淹没了。 30 因着信,耶利哥的城墙被围绕了七天,就倒塌了。 31 因着信,妓女喇合和和平平接待了侦察的人,就没有和那些不顺从的人一起灭亡。
32 我还要再说甚么呢?如果再要述说基甸、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 他们借着信,就战胜了敌国,伸张了正义,得到了应许,堵住了狮子的口, 34 消灭了烈火的威力,逃脱了刀剑的锋刃,软弱变成刚强,在战争中显出大能,把外国的军队击退。 35 有些妇女得回从死里复活的亲人;但也有些人忍受了酷刑,不肯接受释放,为的是要得着更美的复活。 36 又有些人遭受了戏弄、鞭打,甚至捆锁、监禁; 37 被石头打死,被锯锯死,(后期抄本在此加上“受试探”)被刀杀死。他们披着绵羊山羊的皮到处奔跑、受穷乏、遭患难、被虐待; 38 原是这世界不配有的人。他们飘流无定,在旷野、山岭、石洞和地穴栖身。
39 所有这些人都借着信得了称许,却还没有得着所应许的; 40 因为 神已经为我们预备了更美的事,使他们若不跟我们在一起,就不能完全。
Hebrews 11
English Standard Version
By Faith
11 Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of (A)things not seen. 2 For by it the people of old received their commendation. 3 By faith we understand that the universe was created by (B)the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of (C)things that are visible.
4 By faith (D)Abel offered to God (E)a more acceptable sacrifice than Cain, through which he was commended as righteous, God commending him by accepting his gifts. And (F)through his faith, though he died, he (G)still speaks. 5 By faith (H)Enoch was taken up so that he should not see death, and he was not found, because God had taken him. Now before he was taken he was commended as having pleased God. 6 And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God (I)must believe that he exists and (J)that he rewards those who seek him. 7 By faith (K)Noah, being warned by God concerning (L)events as yet unseen, in reverent fear constructed an ark for the saving of his household. By this he condemned the world and became an heir of (M)the righteousness that comes by faith.
8 By faith (N)Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to a place (O)that he was to receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going. 9 By faith he went to live in (P)the land of promise, as in a foreign land, (Q)living in tents (R)with Isaac and Jacob, heirs with him of the same promise. 10 For he was looking forward to (S)the city that has (T)foundations, (U)whose designer and builder is God. 11 By faith (V)Sarah herself received power to conceive, even when she was past the age, since she considered (W)him faithful who had promised. 12 Therefore from one man, and (X)him as good as dead, were born descendants (Y)as many as the stars of heaven and as many as the innumerable grains of sand by the seashore.
13 These all died in faith, (Z)not having received the things promised, but (AA)having seen them and greeted them from afar, and (AB)having acknowledged that they were (AC)strangers and exiles on the earth. 14 For people who speak thus make it clear that they are seeking a homeland. 15 If they had been thinking of that land from which they had gone out, (AD)they would have had opportunity to return. 16 But as it is, they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed (AE)to be called their God, for (AF)he has prepared for them a city.
17 By faith (AG)Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises was in the act of offering up his only son, 18 of whom it was said, (AH)“Through Isaac shall your offspring be named.” 19 (AI)He considered that God was able even to raise him from the dead, from which, figuratively speaking, he did receive him back. 20 By faith (AJ)Isaac invoked future blessings on Jacob and Esau. 21 By faith (AK)Jacob, when dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, (AL)bowing in worship over the head of his staff. 22 By faith (AM)Joseph, at the end of his life, made mention of the exodus of the Israelites and gave directions concerning his bones.
23 By faith (AN)Moses, when he was born, was hidden for three months by his parents, because they saw that the child was beautiful, and they were not afraid of (AO)the king's edict. 24 By faith Moses, when he was grown up, (AP)refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter, 25 (AQ)choosing rather to be mistreated with the people of God than to enjoy (AR)the fleeting pleasures of sin. 26 (AS)He considered the reproach of Christ greater wealth than the treasures of Egypt, for he was looking to (AT)the reward. 27 By faith he (AU)left Egypt, (AV)not being afraid of the anger of the king, for he endured (AW)as seeing him who is invisible. 28 By faith (AX)he kept the Passover and sprinkled the blood, so that the Destroyer of the firstborn might not touch them.
29 By faith (AY)the people crossed the Red Sea as on dry land, but the Egyptians, when they attempted to do the same, were drowned. 30 By faith (AZ)the walls of Jericho fell down after they had been encircled for seven days. 31 By faith (BA)Rahab the prostitute did not perish with those who were disobedient, because she (BB)had given a friendly welcome to the spies.
32 And what more shall I say? For time would fail me to tell of (BC)Gideon, (BD)Barak, (BE)Samson, (BF)Jephthah, of (BG)David and (BH)Samuel and the prophets— 33 who through faith conquered kingdoms, enforced justice, obtained promises, (BI)stopped the mouths of lions, 34 (BJ)quenched the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, were made strong out of weakness, (BK)became mighty in war, (BL)put foreign armies to flight. 35 (BM)Women received back their dead by resurrection. Some were tortured, refusing to accept release, so that they might rise again to a better life. 36 Others suffered mocking and flogging, and even (BN)chains and imprisonment. 37 (BO)They were stoned, they were sawn in two,[a] (BP)they were killed with the sword. (BQ)They went about in skins of sheep and goats, destitute, afflicted, mistreated— 38 of whom the world was not worthy—(BR)wandering about in deserts and mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.
39 And all these, (BS)though commended through their faith, (BT)did not receive what was promised, 40 since God had provided something better for us, (BU)that apart from us they should not be made perfect.

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)
