Hebrews 11

KING JAMES BIBLE	BIBLIA
1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.	1 La fe es garantía de lo que se espera; la prueba de las realidades que no se ven.
2 For by it the elders obtained a good report.	2 Por ella fueron alabados nuestros mayores.
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.	3 Por la fe, sabemos que el universo fue formado por la palabra de Dios, de manera que lo que se ve resultase de lo que no aparece.
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.	4 Por la fe, ofreció Abel a Dios un sacrificio más excelente que Caín, por ella fue declarado justo, con la aprobación que dio Dios a sus ofrendas; y por ella, aun muerto, habla todavía.
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.	5 Por la fe, Henoc fue trasladado, de modo que no vio la muerte y no se le halló, porque le trasladó Dios. Porque antes de contar su traslado, la Escritura da en su favor testimonio de haber agradado a Dios.
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.	6 Ahora bien, sin fe es imposible agradarle, pues el que se acerca a Dios ha de creer que existe y que recompensa a los que le buscan.
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.	7 Por la fe, Noé, advertido por Dios de lo que aún no se veía, con religioso temor construyó un arca para salvar a su familia; por la fe, condenó al mundo y llegó a ser heredero de la justicia según la fe.
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.	8 Por la fe, Abraham, al ser llamado por Dios, obedeció y salió para el lugar que había de recibir en herencia, y salió sin saber a dónde iba.
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:	9 Por la fe, peregrinó por la Tierra Prometida como en tierra extraña, habitando en tiendas, lo mismo que Isaac y Jacob, coherederos de las mismas promesas.
10 For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God.	10 Pues esperaba la ciudad asentada sobre cimientos, cuyo arquitecto y constructor es Dios.
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.	11 Por la fe, también Sara recibió, aun fuera de la edad apropiada, vigor para ser madre, pues tuvo como digno de fe al que se lo prometía.
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.	12 Por lo cual también de uno solo y ya gastado nacieron hijos, numerosos como las estrellas del cielo, incontables como las arenas de las orillas del mar.
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.	13 En la fe murieron todos ellos, sin haber conseguido el objeto de las promesas: viéndolas y saludándolas desde lejos y confesándose extraños y forasteros sobre la tierra.
14 For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country.	14 Los que tal dicen, claramente dan a entender que van en busca de una patria;
15 And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned.	15 pues si hubiesen pensado en la tierra de la que habían salido, habrían tenido ocasión de retornar a ella.
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.	16 Más bien aspiran a una mejor, a la celestial. Por eso Dios no se avergüenza de ellos, de ser llamado Dios suyo, pues les tiene preparada una ciudad...
17 By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son,	17 Por la fe, Abraham, sometido a la prueba, presentó a Isaac como ofrenda, y el que había recibido las promesas, ofrecía a su unigénito,
18 Of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be called:	18 respecto del cual se le había dicho: Por Isaac tendrás descendencia.
19 Accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead; from whence also he received him in a figure.	19 Pensaba que poderoso era Dios aun para resucitar de entre los muertos. Por eso lo recobró para que Isaac fuera también figura.
20 By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come.	20 Por la fe, bendijo Isaac a Jacob y Esaú en orden al futuro.
21 By faith Jacob, when he was a dying, blessed both the sons of Joseph; and worshipped, leaning upon the top of his staff.	21 Por la fe, Jacob, moribundo, bendijo a cada uno de los hijos de José, y se inclinó apoyado en la cabeza de su bastón.
22 By faith Joseph, when he died, made mention of the departing of the children of Israel; and gave commandment concerning his bones.	22 Por la fe, José, moribundo, evocó el éxodo de los hijos de Israel, y dio órdenes respecto de sus huesos.
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.	23 Por la fe, Moisés, recién nacido, fue durante tres meses ocultado por sus padres, pues vieron que el niño era hermoso y no temieron el edicto del rey.
24 By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter;	24 Por la fe, Moisés, ya adulto, rehusó ser llamado hijo de una hija de Faraón,
25 Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;	25 prefiriendo ser maltratado con el pueblo de Dios a disfrutar el efímero goce del pecado,
26 Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward.	26 estimando como riqueza mayor que los tesoros de Egipto el oprobio de Cristo, porque tenía los ojos puestos en la recompensa.
27 By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.	27 Por la fe, salió de Egipto sin temer la ira del rey; se mantuvo firme como si viera al invisible.
28 Through faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of blood, lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them.	28 Por la fe, celebró la Pascua e hizo la aspersión de sangre para que el Exterminador no tocase a los primogénitos de Israel.
29 By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians assaying to do were drowned.	29 Por la fe, atravesaron el mar Rojo como por una tierra seca; mientras que los egipcios intentando lo mismo, fueron tragados.
30 By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they were compassed about seven days.	30 Por la fe, se derrumbaron los muros de Jericó, después de ser rodeados durante siete días.
31 By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them that believed not, when she had received the spies with peace.	31 Por la fe, la ramera Rajab no pereció con los incrédulos, por haber acogido amistosamente a los exploradores.
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:	32 Y ¿a qué continuar? Pues me faltaría el tiempo si hubiera de hablar sobre Gedeón, Barac, Sansón, Jefté, David, Samuel y los profetas.
33 Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,	33 Estos, por la fe, sometieron reinos, hicieron justicia, alcanzaron las promesas, cerraron la boca a los leones;
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.	34 apagaron la violencia del fuego, escaparon del filo de la espada, curaron de sus infermedades, fueron valientes en la guerra, rechazando ejércitos extranjeros;
35 Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection:	35 las mujeres recobraban resucitados a sus muertos. Unos fueron torturados, rehusando la liberación por conseguir una resurrección mejor;
36 And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment:	36 otros soportaron burlas y azotes, y hasta cadenas y prisiones;
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;	37 apedreados, torturados, aserrados, muertos a espada; anduvieron errantes cubiertos de pieles de oveja y de cabras; faltos de todo; oprimidos y maltratados,
38 (Of whom the world was not worthy:) they wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.	38 ¡hombres de los que no era digno el mundo!, errantes por desiertos y montañas, por cavernas y antros de la tierra.
39 And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise:	39 Y todos ellos, aunque alabados por su fe, no consiguieron el objeto de las promesas.
40 God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.	40 Dios tenía ya dispuesto algo mejor para nosotros, de modo que no llegaran ellos sin nosotros a la perfección.
