By faith Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he had testimony given to him that he was righteous, God testifying with respect to his gifts; and through it he, being dead, still speaks.
By faith Enoch was taken away, so that he wouldn’t see death, and he was not found, because God translated him. For he has had testimony given to him that before his translation he had been well pleasing to God.
Without faith it is impossible to be well pleasing to him, for he who comes to God must believe that he exists, and that he is a rewarder of those who seek him.
By faith Noah, being warned about things not yet seen, moved with godly fear, prepared a ship for the saving of his house, through which he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith.
By faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed to go out to the place which he was to receive for an inheritance. He went out, not knowing where he went.
By faith he lived as an alien in the land of promise, as in a land not his own, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise.
他因着信,就在所應許之地作客,好像在異地居住帳棚,與那同蒙一個應許的以撒、雅各一樣。
11:10
እስመኮኑይጸንሑሀገረእንተባቲመሠረትእንተኬንያሃወገባሪሃእግዚአብሔር።
For he was looking for the city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God.
Therefore as many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as innumerable as the sand which is by the sea shore, were fathered by one man, and him as good as dead.
These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them and embraced them from afar, and having confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.
But now they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed of them, to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them.
By faith Moses, when he was born, was hidden for three months by his parents, because they saw that he was a beautiful child; and they were not afraid of the king’s commandment.
摩西生下來,他的父母見他是個俊美的孩子,就因着信,把他藏了三個月,並不怕王命。
11:24
በተአምኖልሂቆሙሴክሕደከመኢይበልዎወልደወለተፈርዖን።
By faith Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter,
摩西因着信,長大了就不肯稱為法老女兒之子。
11:25
ወአብደረይሕምምምስለሕዝበእግዚአብሔርእምይደለውለሰዓትወይኩኖኀጢአተ።
choosing rather to share ill treatment with God’s people than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a time,
他寧可和上帝的百姓同受苦害,也不願暫時享受罪中之樂。
11:26
እስመአእመረከመየዐቢትዕይርተመስቀሉለክርስቶስእምኵሉመዛግብቲሆሙለግብፅ።
considering the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt; for he looked to the reward.
They were stoned. They were sawn apart. They were tempted. They were slain with the sword. They went around in sheep skins and in goat skins; being destitute, afflicted, ill-treated—
被石頭打死,被鋸鋸死,受試探,被刀殺,披着綿羊、山羊的皮各處奔跑,受窮乏、患難、苦害,
11:38
እሉእሙንቱዘኢይደልዎሙዓለምወዔሉውስተገዳምወውስተአድባርወበኣታትወግበበምድር።
of whom the world was not worthy—wandering in deserts, mountains, caves, and the holes of the earth.
在曠野、山嶺、山洞、地穴,飄流無定,本是世界不配有的人。
11:39
ወኵሎሙሰማዕተኮኑበሃይማኖትወኢያድምዑዘአሰፈዎሙ።
These all, having been commended for their faith, didn’t receive the promise,
這些人都是因信得了美好的證據,卻仍未得着所應許的;
11:40
እስመአቅደመእግዚአብሔርርእየበእንቲኣነእንተትኄይስከመኢይሠለጡዘእንበሌነ።
God having provided some better thing concerning us, so that apart from us they should not be made perfect.
