Hebrews 11

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 Faith is the realization of what is hoped for and evidence of things not seen.	1 واما الايمان فهو الثقة بما يرجى والايقان بامور لا ترى.
2 Because of it the ancients were well attested.	2 فانه في هذه شهد للقدماء.
3 By faith we understand that the universe was ordered by the word of God, so that what is visible came into being through the invisible.	3 بالايمان نفهم ان العالمين أتقنت بكلمة الله حتى لم يتكون ما يرى مما هو ظاهر.
4 By faith Abel offered to God a sacrifice greater than Cain's. Through this he was attested to be righteous, God bearing witness to his gifts, and through this, though dead, he still speaks.	4 بالايمان قدم هابيل للّه ذبيحة افضل من قايين. فبه شهد له انه بار اذ شهد الله لقرابينه. وبه وان مات يتكلم بعد.
5 By faith Enoch was taken up so that he should not see death, and "he was found no more because God had taken him." Before he was taken up, he was attested to have pleased God.	5 بالايمان نقل اخنوخ لكي لا يرى الموت ولم يوجد لان الله نقله. اذ قبل نقله شهد له بانه قد ارضى الله.
6 But without faith it is impossible to please him, for anyone who approaches God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.	6 ولكن بدون ايمان لا يمكن ارضاؤه لانه يجب ان الذي يأتي الى الله يؤمن بانه موجود وانه يجازي الذين يطلبونه.
7 By faith Noah, warned about what was not yet seen, with reverence built an ark for the salvation of his household. Through this he condemned the world and inherited the righteousness that comes through faith.	7 بالايمان نوح لما أوحي اليه عن امور لم ترى بعد خاف فبنى فلكا لخلاص بيته فبه دان العالم وصار وارثا للبر الذي حسب الايمان.
8 By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to a place that he was to receive as an inheritance; he went out, not knowing where he was to go.	8 بالايمان ابراهيم لما دعي اطاع ان يخرج الى المكان الذي كان عتيدا ان يأخذه ميراثا فخرج وهو لا يعلم الى اين يأتي.
9 By faith he sojourned in the promised land as in a foreign country, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, heirs of the same promise;	9 بالايمان تغرب في ارض الموعد كانها غريبة ساكنا في خيام مع اسحق ويعقوب الوارثين معه لهذا الموعد عينه.
10 for he was looking forward to the city with foundations, whose architect and maker is God.	10 لانه كان ينتظر المدينة التي لها الاساسات التي صانعها وبارئها الله.
11 By faith he received power to generate, even though he was past the normal age--and Sarah herself was sterile--for he thought that the one who had made the promise was trustworthy.	11 بالايمان سارة نفسها ايضا اخذت قدرة على انشاء نسل وبعد وقت السن ولدت اذ حسبت الذي وعد صادقا.
12 So it was that there came forth from one man, himself as good as dead, descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as countless as the sands on the seashore.	12 لذلك ولد ايضا من واحد وذلك من ممات مثل نجوم السماء في الكثرة وكالرمل الذي على شاطئ البحر الذي لا يعد
13 All these died in faith. They did not receive what had been promised but saw it and greeted it from afar and acknowledged themselves to be strangers and aliens on earth,	13 في الايمان مات هؤلاء اجمعون وهم لم ينالوا المواعيد بل من بعيد نظروها وصدقوها وحيوها واقروا بانهم غرباء ونزلاء على الارض.
14 for those who speak thus show that they are seeking a homeland.	14 فان الذين يقولون مثل هذا يظهرون انهم يطلبون وطنا.
15 If they had been thinking of the land from which they had come, they would have had opportunity to return.	15 فلو ذكروا ذلك الذي خرجوا منه لكان لهم فرصة للرجوع.
16 But now they desire a better homeland, a heavenly one. Therefore, God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them.	16 ولكن الآن يبتغون وطنا افضل اي سماويا. لذلك لا يستحي بهم الله ان يدعى الههم لانه اعدّ لهم مدينة
17 By faith Abraham, when put to the test, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises was ready to offer his only son,	17 بالايمان قدم ابراهيم اسحق وهو مجرب. قدم الذي قبل المواعيد وحيده
18 of whom it was said, "Through Isaac descendants shall bear your name."	18 الذي قيل له انه باسحق يدعى لك نسل.
19 He reasoned that God was able to raise even from the dead, and he received Isaac back as a symbol.	19 اذ حسب ان الله قادر على الاقامة من الاموات ايضا الذين منهم اخذه ايضا في مثال.
20 By faith regarding things still to come Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau.	20 بالايمان اسحق بارك يعقوب وعيسو من جهة امور عتيدة.
21 By faith Jacob, when dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph and "bowed in worship, leaning on the top of his staff."	21 بالايمان يعقوب عند موته بارك كل واحد من ابني يوسف وسجد على راس عصاه.
22 By faith Joseph, near the end of his life, spoke of the Exodus of the Israelites and gave instructions about his bones.	22 بالايمان يوسف عند موته ذكر خروج بني اسرائيل واوصى من جهة عظامه.
23 By faith Moses was hidden by his parents for three months after his birth, because they saw that he was a beautiful child, and they were not afraid of the king's edict.	23 بالايمان موسى بعد ما ولد اخفاه ابواه ثلاثة اشهر لانهما رأيا الصبي جميلا ولم يخشيا امر الملك.
24 By faith Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be known as the son of Pharaoh's daughter;	24 بالايمان موسى لما كبر ابى ان يدعى ابن ابنة فرعون
25 he chose to be ill-treated along with the people of God rather than enjoy the fleeting pleasure of sin.	25 مفضلا بالاحرى ان يذل مع شعب الله على ان يكون له تمتع وقتي بالخطية
26 He considered the reproach of the Anointed greater wealth than the treasures of Egypt, for he was looking to the recompense.	26 حاسبا عار المسيح غنى اعظم من خزائن مصر لانه كان ينظر الى المجازاة.
27 By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the king's fury, for he persevered as if seeing the one who is invisible.	27 بالايمان ترك مصر غير خائف من غضب الملك لانه تشدد كانه يرى من لا يرى.
28 By faith he kept the Passover and sprinkled the blood, that the Destroyer of the firstborn might not touch them.	28 بالايمان صنع الفصح ورشّ الدم لئلا يمسهم الذي اهلك الابكار.
29 By faith they crossed the Red Sea as if it were dry land, but when the Egyptians attempted it they were drowned.	29 بالايمان اجتازوا في البحر الاحمر كما في اليابسة الامر الذي لما شرع فيه المصريون غرقوا.
30 By faith the walls of Jericho fell after being encircled for seven days.	30 بالايمان سقطت اسوار اريحا بعد ما طيف حولها سبعة ايام.
31 By faith Rahab the harlot did not perish with the disobedient, for she had received the spies in peace.	31 بالايمان راحاب الزانية لم تهلك مع العصاة اذ قبلت الجاسوسين بسلام
32 What more shall I say? I have not time to tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, of David and Samuel and the prophets,	32 وماذا اقول ايضا لانه يعوزني الوقت ان اخبرت عن جدعون وباراق وشمشون ويفتاح وداود وصموئيل والانبياء
33 who by faith conquered kingdoms, did what was righteous, obtained the promises; they closed the mouths of lions,	33 الذين بالايمان قهروا ممالك صنعوا برا نالوا مواعيد سدوا افواه اسود
34 put out raging fires, escaped the devouring sword; out of weakness they were made powerful, became strong in battle, and turned back foreign invaders.	34 اطفأوا قوة النار نجوا من حد السيف تقووا من ضعف صاروا اشداء في الحرب هزموا جيوش غرباء.
35 Women received back their dead through resurrection. Some were tortured and would not accept deliverance, in order to obtain a better resurrection.	35 اخذت نساء امواتهن بقيامة. وآخرون عذبوا ولم يقبلوا النجاة لكي ينالوا قيامة افضل.
36 Others endured mockery, scourging, even chains and imprisonment.	36 وآخرون تجربوا في هزء وجلد ثم في قيود ايضا وحبس.
37 They were stoned, sawed in two, put to death at sword's point; they went about in skins of sheep or goats, needy, afflicted, tormented.	37 رجموا نشروا جربوا ماتوا قتلا بالسيف طافوا في جلود غنم وجلود معزى معتازين مكروبين مذلين.
38 The world was not worthy of them. They wandered about in deserts and on mountains, in caves and in crevices in the earth.	38 وهم لم يكن العالم مستحقا لهم. تائهين في براري وجبال ومغاير وشقوق الارض.
39 Yet all these, though approved because of their faith, did not receive what had been promised.	39 فهؤلاء كلهم مشهودا لهم بالايمان لم ينالوا الموعد
40 God had foreseen something better for us, so that without us they should not be made perfect.	40 اذ سبق الله فنظر لنا شيئا افضل لكي لا يكملوا بدوننا
