Chapitre 11
1
A vjera je već neko imanje onoga čemu se nadamo, uvjerenost u zbiljnosti kojih ne vidimo.
2
Zbog nje stari primiše svjedočanstvo.
3
Vjerom spoznajemo da su svjetovi uređeni riječju Božjom tako te ovo vidljivo ne posta od nečega pojavnoga.
4
Vjerom Abel prinese Bogu bolju žrtvu nego Kain. Po njoj primi svjedočanstvo da je pravedan - Bog nad njegovim darovima posvjedoči - po njoj i mrtav još govori.
5
Vjerom Henok bi prenesen da ne vidi smrti te iščeznu jer ga je prenio Bog. Doista, prije prijenosa primio je svjedočanstvo da omilje Bogu.
6
A bez vjere nemoguće je omiljeti Bogu jer tko mu pristupa, vjerovati mora da postoji i da je platac onima koji ga traže.
7
Vjerom Noa, upućen u ono što još ne bijaše vidljivo, predano sagradi korablju na spasenje svoga doma. Time osudi svijet i postade baštinikom vjerničke pravednosti.
8
Vjerom pozvan, Abraham posluša i zaputi se u kraj koji je imao primiti u baštinu, zaputi se ne znajući kamo ide.
9
Vjerom se kao pridošlica naseli u obećanoj zemlji kao u tuđini, prebivajući pod šatorima s Izakom i Jakovom, subaštinicima istog obećanja,
10
jer iščekivaše onaj utemeljeni Grad kojemu je graditelj i tvorac Bog.
11
Vjerom i Sara unatoč svojoj dobi zadobi moć da začne jer vjernim smatraše Onoga koji joj dade obećanje.
12
Zato od jednoga, i to obamrla, nasta mnoštvo poput zvijezda na nebu i pijeska nebrojena na obali morskoj.
13
U vjeri svi su oni umrli, a da nisu zadobili obećanja, već su ih samo izdaleka vidjeli i pozdravili priznavši da su stranci i pridošlice na zemlji.
14
Doista, koji tako govore, jasno očituju da domovinu traže.
15
Dakako, da su mislili na onu iz koje su izišli, imali bi još prilike vratiti se u nju.
16
Ali sada oni čeznu za boljom, to jest nebeskom. Stoga se Bog ne stidi zvati se Bogom njihovim: ta pripravio im je Grad.
17
Vjerom Abraham, kušan, prikaza Izaka. Jedinca prikazivaše on koji je primio obećanje,
18
kome bi rečeno: Po Izaku će ti se nazivati potomstvo! -
19
uvjeren da Bog može i od mrtvih uskrisiti. Zato ga u predslici i ponovno zadobi.
20
Vjerom baš u pogledu budućnosti Izak blagoslovi Jakova i Ezava.
21
Vjerom Jakov, umirući, blagoslovi oba sina Josipova i duboko se prignu oslonjen na vrh svojega štapa.
22
Vjerom Josip na umoru napomenu ono o izlasku sinova Izraelovih i dade zapovijed o svojim kostima.
23
Vjerom su Mojsija netom rođena tri mjeseca krili njegovi roditelji jer vidješe da je djetešce lijepo i nisu se bojali kraljeve naredbe.
24
Vjerom Mojsije, već odrastao, odbi zvati se sinom kćeri faraonove.
25
Radije izabra biti zlostavljan zajedno s Božjim narodom, nego se časovito okoristiti grijehom.
26
Većim je bogatstvom od blaga egipatskih smatrao muku Kristovu jer je gledao na plaću.
27
Vjerom napusti Egipat, ne bojeći se bijesa kraljeva, postojan kao da Nevidljivoga vidi.
28
Vjerom je obavio pashu i škropljenje krvlju da Zatornik ne dotakne prvenaca Izraelovih.
29
Vjerom prođoše Crvenim morem kao po suhu, što i Egipćani pokušaše, ali se potopiše.
30
Vjerom zidine jerihonske padoše nakon sedmodnevnoga ophoda.
31
Vjerom Rahaba, bludnica, ne propade zajedno s nepokornicima jer s mirom primi uhode.
32
I što još da kažem? Ta ponestat će mi vremena, počnem li raspredati o Gideonu, Baraku, Samsonu, Jiftahu, Davidu, pa Samuelu i prorocima,
33
koji su po vjeri osvojili kraljevstva, odjelotvorili pravednost, zadobili obećano, začepili ralje lavovima,
34
pogasili žestinu ognja, umakli oštrici mača, oporavili se od slabosti, ojačali u boju, odbili navale tuđinaca.
35
Žene su po uskrsnuću ponovno zadobile svoje pokojne. Drugi pak, stavljeni na muke, ne prihvatiše oslobođenja da bi ih zapalo bolje uskrsnuće.
36
Drugi su opet iskusili izrugivanja i bičeve, pa i okove i tamnicu.
37
Kamenovani su, piljeni, poubijani oštricom mača, potucali se u runima, u kozjim kožusima, u oskudici, potlačeni, zlostavljani -
38
svijet ih ne bijaše dostojan - vrludali po pustinjama, gorama, pećinama i pukotinama zemaljskim.
39
I svi oni po vjeri, istina, primiše svjedočanstvo, ali ne zadobiše obećano
40
jer Bog je za nas predvidio nešto bolje da oni bez nas ne dođu do savršenstva.
Hebrews
Chapitre 11
1
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
2
For by it the elders obtained a good report.
3
Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
4
By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.
5
By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.
6
But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
7
By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.
8
By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.
9
By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise:
10
For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God.
11
Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised.
12
Therefore sprang there even of one, and him as good as dead, so many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable.
13
These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.
14
For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country.
15
And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned.
16
But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.
17
By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son,
18
Of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be called:
19
Accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead; from whence also he received him in a figure.
20
By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come.
21
By faith Jacob, when he was a dying, blessed both the sons of Joseph; and worshipped, leaning upon the top of his staff.
22
By faith Joseph, when he died, made mention of the departing of the children of Israel; and gave commandment concerning his bones.
23
By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months of his parents, because they saw he was a proper child; and they were not afraid of the king’s commandment.
24
By faith Moses, when he was come to years, 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 pleasures of sin for a season;
26
Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward.
27
By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.
28
Through faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of blood, lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them.
29
By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians assaying to do were drowned.
30
By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they were compassed about seven days.
31
By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them that believed not, when she had received the spies with peace.
32
And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets:
33
Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,
34
Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens.
35
Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection:
36
And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment:
37
They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented;
38
(Of whom the world was not worthy:) they wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.
39
And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise:
40
God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.
