Hebreohanon 11
Ang Pulong Sa Dios
Ang Atong Pagtuo ngadto sa Dios
11 May pagtuo kita kon hugot ang atong pagsalig nga madawat nato ang atong mga gilaoman, ug bisan wala pa nato makita ang mga gisaad sa Dios, nasiguro nato nga madawat gayod nato kini. 2 Tungod sa pagtuo sa atong mga katigulangan gikahimut-an sila sa Dios. 3 Tungod sa pagtuo, nasayran nato nga ang kalibotan gimugna pinaagi sa pagsulti sa Dios. Busa ang mga butang nga atong makita gibuhat gikan sa dili makita.
4 Tungod sa pagtuo, naghalad si Abel ngadto sa Dios ug mas maayong halad kaysa kang Cain. Ug tungod sa iyang pagtuo giisip siya sa Dios nga matarong, kay gidawat sa Dios ang iyang halad. Busa bisan patay na si Abel may pagtulon-an gihapon siya nga gibilin kanato tungod sa iyang pagtuo sa Dios.
5 Tungod sa pagtuo, wala mamatay si Enoc, hinuon gidala siya sa Dios didto sa laing kinabuhi. “Wala na siya makita dinhi sa yuta tungod kay gilalin siya sa Dios.”[a] Ug sumala sa Kasulatan, gilalin siya tungod kay nalipay ang Dios kaniya. 6 Ang tawo nga walay pagtuo dili gayod makapalipay sa Dios. Tungod kay si bisan kinsa nga moduol sa Dios kinahanglang motuo nga adunay Dios ug motuo usab nga siya ang mohatag ug ganti ngadto sa mga nagapangita kaniya.
7 Tungod sa pagtuo, naminaw si Noe sa pahimangno sa Dios kaniya mahitungod sa mga mahitabo bisan wala pa niya kini makita. Busa nagbuhat siya ug arka aron maluwas siya ug ang iyang pamilya. Ug tungod sa pagtuo ni Noe napamatud-an nga makasasala ang tibuok katawhan, apan siya giisip sa Dios nga matarong.
8 Tungod sa pagtuo, gituman ni Abraham ang gisulti sa Dios nga moadto siya sa lugar nga gisaad kaniya. Gibiyaan niya ang iyang lugar bisan wala siya makahibalo kon asa gayod ang lugar nga gisaad kaniya. 9 Bisan atua na siya didto sa gisaad nga lugar, ug nagapuyo lang sila sa mga tolda nga sama sa langyaw, nagtuo gihapon siya sa Dios nga mapanag-iya nila ang maong lugar. Bisan gani ang iyang anak nga si Isaac ug ang iyang apo nga si Jacob, nga sama usab kaniya nga nagbaton sa samang saad sa Dios, nagpuyo man lang usab didto sa mga tolda. 10 Kay ang tinuod, ang siyudad nga gipaabot ni Abraham walay lain kondili ang siyudad nga lig-on gayod, nga giplano ug gitukod sa Dios.
11 Tungod usab sa pagtuo ngadto sa Dios, nakaanak pa si Abraham ug Sara bisag tigulang na kaayo sila, kay nagtuo si Abraham sa gisaad sa Dios kaniya. 12 Busa gikan kang Abraham, nga wala na gayoy paglaom nga makaanak pa, naggikan ang mga kaliwat nga sama kadaghan sa mga bitoon sa langit ug sama usab sa balas sa baybayon nga dili maihap.
13 Kining tanang mga tawo nangamatay nga may pagtuo. Wala nila madawat ang gisaad sa Dios sa dihang buhi pa sila, apan nasiguro nila nga moabot ang adlaw nga madawat gayod nila ang ilang gipaabot. Giangkon nila nga sila mga langyaw lang ug dumuduong niini nga kalibotan. 14 Ang mga tawo nga nagasulti sa ingon nagapaila lang nga sila nangita sa lugar nga mahimong ila gayod. 15 Wala na nila handoma ang lugar nga ilang gigikanan, tungod kay kon gihandom pa nila, may kahigayonan sila sa pagbalik didto. 16 Apan ang ilang gibuhat, gipalabi gayod nila ang mas maayo nga lugar, ug kini walay lain kondili ang siyudad nga atua gayod sa langit. Busa wala ikaulaw sa Dios nga tawgon nila siya nga ilang Dios, kay giandaman niya sila ug usa ka siyudad.
17-18 Tungod sa pagtuo ngadto sa Dios, ihalad unta ni Abraham si Isaac sa dihang gisulayan siya sa Dios nga ihalad ang iyang bugtong anak. Ug bisan si Isaac mao ang gisaad sa Dios nga maoy gikanan sa iyang kaliwatan, andam gihapon si Abraham nga ihalad kini.[b] 19 Kay nagtuo siya nga kon mamatay man gayod si Isaac banhawon ra usab kini sa Dios. Busa sama ra nga nabanhaw si Isaac gikan sa kamatayon ug nahibalik kang Abraham.
20 Tungod sa pagtuo ni Isaac ngadto sa Dios, ug sa pagtuo nga may maayong umaabot, gipanalanginan niya ang iyang mga anak nga si Jacob ug si Esau.
21 Tungod sa pagtuo, sa dihang hapit na mamatay si Jacob, gipanalanginan niya ang iyang mga apo nga mga anak ni Jose. Ug misimba siya sa Dios samtang nagaakbo sa iyang sungkod.
22 Tungod sa pagtuo, miingon si Jose sa hapit na siya mamatay, nga ang mga Israelinhon mobiya sa Ehipto, ug nanugon siya nga dad-on nila ang iyang mga bukog kon mobiya na sila.
23 Tungod sa pagtuo, ang mga ginikanan ni Moises wala mahadlok sa pagsupak sa sugo sa hari, tungod kay sa dihang nakita nila nga guwapo ang ilang anak gitago nila kini sulod sa tulo ka bulan.
24 Ug tungod sa pagtuo, si Moises sa dihang hamtong na, midumili nga tawgon pa siya nga anak sa prinsesa nga anak sa hari sa Ehipto. 25 Iya hinuong gipalabi ang pag-antos uban sa katawhan sa Dios kaysa maglipay diha sa sala sa hamubo lang nga panahon. 26 Gihunahuna niya nga mas daghan nga panalangin ang iyang madawat kon mag-antos siya sa mga pagyubit tungod kang Cristo kaysa maangkon niya ang tanang bahandi sa Ehipto. Kay gilantaw niya nga may ganti siya nga madawat.
27 Ug tungod sa pagtuo, mibiya si Moises sa Ehipto, ug wala siya mahadlok sa kasuko sa hari kaniya. Giantos niya ang kalisod nga iyang nasinati ug wala gayod siya mobalik didto tungod kay sama ra nga nakita niya ang dili makita nga Dios. 28 Tungod sa iyang pagtuo, gisugdan niya ang pagsaulog sa “Pista sa Paglabay sa Anghel.” Giingnan niya ang tanan nga Israelinhon nga wisikan nila ug dugo sa karnero ang ilang mga pultahan, aron nga kon moagi ang anghel sa Dios nga mopatay sa mga kamagulangan, molabay lang kini ug dili niya ilakip ang ilang mga kamagulangan.
29 Tungod sa pagtuo, milatas ang mga Israelinhon sa Pulang Dagat nga sama sa naglakaw lang sila sa malang yuta. Apan ang mga Ehiptohanon nga migukod kanila nangalumos.
30 Tungod sa pagtuo, nalumpag ang paril sa Jerico human kini libot-liboti sa mga Israelinhon sulod sa usa ka semana.
31 Tungod sa pagtuo, si Rahab nga nagbaligya sa iyang dungog wala mamatay uban sa mga taga-Jerico nga wala magtuman sa Dios, kay gidawat niya sa iyang balay ang mga espiya nga gisugo ni Josue.
32 Dinhi na lang kutob ang akong isulti kaninyo mahitungod sa mga tawo nga nagtuo sa Dios, tungod kay wala nay igong panahon sa paghisgot mahitungod kanila ni Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jefta, David, Samuel ug ang mga propeta kaniadto. 33 Tungod sa ilang pagtuo gipildi nila ang mga gingharian, nagdumala sila nga matarong, ug nadawat nila ang mga gisaad sa Dios kanila. Tungod sa ilang pagtuo wala sila tukba sa mga liyon, 34 wala sila mapaso sa nagdilaab nga kalayo, ug nakalingkawas sila sa kamatayon pinaagi sa espada. Ang uban kanila luya na kaayo apan gipabaskog sila. Nahimo silang maisog sa pagpakiggira ug napildi nila ang mga sundalo sa uban nga lungsod. 35 May mga babaye usab nga tungod sa ilang pagtuo sa Dios, ang ilang mga anak nga namatay nabuhi pag-usab. Ang uban nga nagtuo sa Dios gisakit hangtod nga namatay, tungod kay nagdumili sila sa pagdawat sa kagawasan sa kondisyon nga talikdan nila ang ilang pagtuo. Kay nasayran nila nga moabot ang adlaw nga banhawon sila sa Dios ug madawat nila ang mas maayo pa nga kinabuhi. 36 Ang uban kanila gibugalbugalan ug gilatos, ug ang uban gipanggapos ug gipangpriso. 37 Ang uban gibato hangtod nga namatay, ang uban gigabas hangtod naputol, ug ang uban pa gayod gipamatay pinaagi sa espada. Ang uban kanila nagbisti na lang ug panit sa karnero ug kanding. Labihan sila kakabos, ug gilutos ug gipasipad-an sa mga tawo. 38 Napugos sila sa pagtago sa kamingawan, sa kabukiran, sa mga langub, ug sa mga bangag diha sa yuta. Apan ang tinuod kining kalibotan dili angay alang kanila.
39 Silang tanan gidayeg tungod sa ilang pagtuo. Apan sa ilang panahon wala nila madawat ang gisaad sa Dios kanila. 40 Kay may mas maayo pa nga plano ang Dios alang kanato, tungod kay gusto niya nga kita makauban kanila kon tumanon na niya ang iyang gisaad kanila.

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.

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)
