Mga Hebreo 11
Ang Biblia (1978)
11 Ngayon, ang pananampalataya ay siyang kapanatagan sa mga bagay na hinihintay, ang katunayan ng mga bagay (A)na hindi nakikita.
2 Sapagka't (B)sa pamamagitan nito ang mga matanda ay sinaksihan.
3 Sa pananampalataya ay natatalastas natin na ang sanglibutan ay natatag (C)sa pamamagitan ng salita ng Dios, (D)ano pa't ang nakikita ay hindi ginawa sa mga bagay na nakikita.
4 Sa pananampalataya si (E)Abel ay naghandog sa Dios ng lalong mabuting hain kay sa kay Cain, sa pamamagitan nito'y sinaksihan sa kaniyang siya'y matuwid, na nagpapatotoo ang Dios tungkol sa kaniyang mga kaloob: at sa pamamagitan nito patay na siya ay nagsasalita pa.
5 Sa pananampalataya si (F)Enoc ay inilipat upang huwag niyang makita ang kamatayan; at hindi siya nasumpungan, sapagka't siya'y inilipat ng Dios: sapagka't bago siya inilipat ay pinatotohanan sa kaniyang siya'y naging kalugodlugod sa Dios:
6 At kung walang pananampalataya ay hindi maaaring maging kalugodlugod sa kaniya; sapagka't ang lumalapit sa Dios ay dapat sumampalatayang may Dios, at siya ang tagapagbigay ganti sa mga sa kaniya'y nagsisihanap.
7 Sa pananampalataya si Noe, (G)nang paunawaan ng Dios tungkol sa mga bagay na hindi pa nakikita, dala ng banal na takot, ay naghanda ng isang daong (H)sa ikaliligtas ng kaniyang sangbahayan; na sa pamamagitan nito ay (I)hinatulan niya ang sanglibutan, at naging tagapagmana ng (J)katuwiran na ayon sa pananampalataya.
8 Sa pananampalataya si (K)Abraham, nang tawagin, ay tumalima upang pumaroon sa isang dakong kaniyang tatanggaping mana; at siya'y yumaon na di nalalaman kung saan siya paroroon.
9 Sa pananampalataya siya'y naging manglalakbay sa lupang pangako, na gaya sa hindi niya sariling lupa, (L)at tumahan sa mga tolda na kasama si Isaac at si Jacob, na mga tagapagmana ng isang pangako na kasama niya:
10 Sapagka't (M)inaasahan niya ang bayang (N)may mga kinasasaligan, na ang nagtayo at (O)gumawa ay ang Dios.
11 Sa pananampalataya (P)si Sara rin ay tumanggap ng lakas upang ipaglihi ang binhi, nang lipas na ang kaniyang gulang, palibhasa'y inari niyang tapat ang nangako:
12 Kaya naman (Q)sumibol sa isa, sa kaniya (R)na tila patay na, ang kasing dami ng mga bituin sa langit sa karamihan, at di mabilang na gaya ng mga buhanging nasa tabi ng dagat.
13 Ayon sa pananampalataya ay nangamatay ang lahat ng mga ito, na hindi kinamtan ang mga pangako, nguni't (S)kanilang nangakita na natanaw mula sa malayo, at kanilang ipinahayag na sila'y pawang taga (T)ibang bayan at manglalakbay sa ibabaw ng lupa.
14 Sapagka't ang mga nagsisipagsabi ng mga gayong bagay ay nagpapakilalang hinahanap nila ang lupaing kanilang sarili.
15 At katotohanang kung kanilang naalaala yaong lupaing kanilang pinanggalingan, ay nagkaroon sana sila ng mabuting pagkakataon upang bumalik.
16 Nguni't ngayon ay nagnanasa sila ng lalong magaling na lupain, sa makatuwid baga'y ang sa langit: kaya hindi sila ikinahihiya ng (U)Dios (V)na tawaging Dios nila; sapagka't kaniyang ipinaghanda (W)sila ng isang bayan.[a]
17 Sa pananampalataya, nang subukin si Abraham, ay inihandog si Isaac: oo, siyang tumanggap na may galak ng mga pangako ay siyang naghandog sa kaniyang bugtong na anak;
18 Sa makatuwid baga'y yaong pinagsabihan, (X)Kay Isaac ay tatawagin ang iyong binhi:
19 Na inisip na (Y)maging sa gitna ng mga patay ay maaaring buhayin siyang maguli ng Dios; mula diyan din naman ay muli siyang tinanggap sa isang (Z)halimbawa.
20 Sa pananampalataya'y (AA)binasbasan ni Isaac si Jacob at si Esau, tungkol sa mga bagay na darating.
21 Sa pananampalataya, si Jacob ng mamatay na ay (AB)binasbasan niya ang bawa't isa sa mga anak ni Jose; at sumambang nakatangan sa puno ng kaniyang tungkod.
22 Sa pananampalataya, nang malapit nang mamatay si (AC)Jose, ay binanggit niya ang pagalis sa Egipto ng mga anak ni Israel; at nagutos tungkol sa kaniyang mga buto.
23 Sa pananampalataya, nang ipanganak si Moises, (AD)ay itinagong tatlong buwan ng kaniyang mga magulang, sapagka't kanilang nakitang maganda ang bata; at hindi sila natakot sa utos ng hari.
24 Sa pananampalataya, nang lumaki na si (AE)Moises, ay tumangging siya'y tawaging anak ng anak na babae ni Faraon;
25 Na pinili pa ang siya'y tampalasanin na kasama ng bayan ng Dios, kay sa magtamo ng nagsisikupas na kaligayahan sa pagkakasala;
26 Na inaring malaking kayamanan (AF)ang kadustaan ni Cristo, kay sa mga kayamanan ng Egipto: sapagka't ang kaniyang tinititigan ay (AG)ang gantingpalang kabayaran.
27 Sa pananampalataya'y (AH)iniwan niya ang Egipto, na hindi natakot sa poot ng hari: sapagka't nagtitiyagang (AI)tulad sa nakakita niyaong di nakikita.
28 Sa pananampalataya'y itinatag niya ang paskua, (AJ)at ang pagwiwisik ng dugo, upang ang manglilipol sa mga panganay ay huwag silang lipulin.
29 Sa pananampalataya'y nagsipagdaan sila sa gitna (AK)ng Dagat na Mapula na gaya ng sa lupang tuyo: na nang subuking gawin ito ng mga taga Egipto ay pawang nangalunod.
30 Sa pananampalataya'y (AL)nangalagpak ang mga kuta ng Jerico, pagkatapos na makubkob na pitong araw.
31 Sa pananampalataya'y (AM)hindi napahamak na kasama ng mga manunuway, ang patutot na si Rahab, na tumanggap na payapa sa mga tiktik.
32 At ano pa ang aking sasabihin? sapagka't kukulangin ako ng panahon kung sasaysayin ko ang (AN)tungkol kay Gideon, (AO)kay Barac, (AP)kay Samson, (AQ)kay Jefte; tungkol kay (AR)David, at (AS)kay Samuel at sa mga propeta:
33 Na ang mga ito, sa pamamagitan ng pananampalataya'y (AT)nagsilupig ng mga kaharian, nagsigawa ng katuwiran, (AU)nangagtamo ng mga pangako, (AV)nangagtikom ng mga bibig ng mga leon,
34 Nagsipatay (AW)ng bisa ng apoy, (AX)nangakatanan sa talim ng tabak, nagsilakas sa kahinaan, naging mga makapangyarihan sa pakikipagbaka, (AY)nangagpaurong ng mga hukbong taga ibang lupa.
35 (AZ)Tinanggap ng mga babae ang kanilang mga patay sa pamamagitan ng pagkabuhay na maguli: at ang iba'y nangamatay sa hampas, na hindi tinanggap ang kanilang katubusan; upang kamtin nila ang lalong mabuting pagkabuhay na maguli:
36 At ang iba'y nangagkaroon ng pagsubok sa pagkalibak at pagkahampas, oo, bukod dito'y sa mga tanikala at bilangguan naman:
37 Sila'y pinagbabato, (BA)pinaglagari, pinagtutukso, pinagpapatay sa tabak: (BB)sila'y nagsilakad na paroo't parito na may balat ng mga tupa't kambing: na mga salat, nangapipighati, tinatampalasan
38 ((BC)Na sa mga yaon ay hindi karapatdapat ang sanglibutan), na nangaliligaw sa mga ilang at sa mga kabundukan at sa mga yungib, at sa mga lungga ng lupa.
39 At ang lahat ng mga ito, (BD)nang sila'y mapatotohanan na dahil sa kanilang pananampalataya, ay hindi (BE)kinamtan ang pangako,
40 Na ipinaghanda ng Dios ng lalong mabuting bagay tungkol sa atin, upang sila'y huwag maging (BF)sakdal ng bukod sa atin.

Hebrews 11
Christian Standard Bible Anglicised
Living by Faith
11 Now faith is the reality[a] of what is hoped for, the proof[b] of what is not seen.(A) 2 For by this our ancestors were approved.
3 By faith we understand that the universe was[c] created by the word of God,(B) so that what is seen was made from things that are not visible.[d]
4 By faith Abel offered to God a better sacrifice than Cain did. By faith he was approved as a righteous man, because God approved his gifts, and even though he is dead, he still speaks through his faith.(C)
5 By faith Enoch was taken away, and so he did not experience death. He was not to be found because God took him away.[e] For before he was taken away, he was approved as one who pleased God.(D) 6 Now without faith it is impossible to please God, since the one who draws near to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.
7 By faith Noah, after he was warned about what was not yet seen and motivated by godly fear, built an ark to deliver his family. By faith he condemned the world and became an heir of the righteousness that comes by faith.(E)
8 By faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed and set out for a place that he was going to receive as an inheritance. He went out, even though he did not know where he was going.(F) 9 By faith he stayed as a foreigner in the land of promise, living in tents as did Isaac and Jacob, co-heirs of the same promise.(G) 10 For he was looking forward to the city that has foundations, whose architect and builder is God.(H)
11 By faith even Sarah herself, when she was unable to have children, received power to conceive offspring, even though she was past the age, since she[f] considered that the one who had promised was faithful.(I) 12 Therefore, from one man – in fact, from one as good as dead – came offspring as numerous as the stars of the sky and as innumerable as the grains of sand along the seashore.(J)
13 These all died in faith, although they had not received the things that were promised. But they saw them from a distance,(K) greeted them, and confessed that they were foreigners and temporary residents on the earth.(L) 14 Now those who say such things make it clear that they are seeking a homeland. 15 If they were thinking about where they came from, they would have had an opportunity to return. 16 But they now desire a better place – a heavenly one. Therefore, God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them.(M)
17 By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac.(N) He received the promises and yet he was offering his one and only son, 18 the one to whom it had been said, Your offspring[g]will be traced through Isaac.[h](O) 19 He considered God to be able even to raise someone from the dead;(P) therefore, he received him back, figuratively speaking.[i]
20 By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau(Q) concerning things to come. 21 By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, and he worshipped, leaning on the top of his staff.[j](R) 22 By faith Joseph, as he was nearing the end of his life, mentioned[k] the exodus of the Israelites and gave instructions concerning his bones.(S)
23 By faith Moses, after he was born, was hidden by his parents for three months, because they saw that the child was beautiful, and they didn’t fear the king’s edict.(T) 24 By faith Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter 25 and chose to suffer with the people of God rather than to enjoy the fleeting pleasure of sin.(U) 26 For he considered reproach for the sake of Christ to be greater wealth than the treasures of Egypt, since he was looking ahead to the reward.(V)
27 By faith he left Egypt behind, not being afraid of the king’s anger, for Moses persevered as one who sees him who is invisible.(W) 28 By faith he instituted the Passover and the sprinkling of the blood, so that the destroyer of the firstborn might not touch the Israelites. 29 By faith they crossed the Red Sea as though they were on dry land. When the Egyptians attempted to do this, they were drowned.(X)
30 By faith the walls of Jericho fell down after being marched round by the Israelites for seven days. 31 By faith Rahab the prostitute welcomed the spies in peace and didn’t perish with those who disobeyed.(Y)
32 And what more can I say? Time is too short for me to tell about Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah,(Z) David, Samuel, and the prophets,(AA) 33 who by faith conquered kingdoms,(AB) administered justice, obtained promises, shut the mouths of lions,(AC) 34 quenched the raging of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, gained strength in weakness, became mighty in battle, and put foreign armies to flight.(AD) 35 Women received their dead, raised to life again. Other people were tortured, not accepting release, so that they might gain a better resurrection. 36 Others experienced mocking and scourging, as well as bonds and imprisonment.(AE) 37 They were stoned,[l](AF) they were sawn in two, they died by the sword, they wandered about in sheepskins, in goatskins,(AG) destitute, afflicted, and mistreated. 38 The world was not worthy of them. They wandered in deserts and on mountains, hiding in caves and holes in the ground.
39 All these were approved through their faith, but they did not receive what was promised, 40 since God had provided something better for us, so that they would not be made perfect without us.(AH)
