Hebrearrei 11
1 Bada, fedea da nehor sperançatan den gaucén fundamenta, eta ikusten eztiraden gauçác eracusten dituena.
Now faith is a well-grounded assurance of that for which we hope, and a conviction of the reality of things which we do not see.
2 Ecen harçaz aitzinecoec testimoniage vkan duté.
For by it the saints of old won God's approval.
3 Fedez aditzen dugu Iaincoaren hitzaz mundua eguin içan dela: gauça inuisiblén demonstratione eguin ledinçát. (aiōn g165)
Through faith we understand that the worlds came into being, and still exist, at the command of God, so that what is seen does not owe its existence to that which is visible. (aiōn g165)
4 Abelec fedez Cainec baino sacrificio excellentagoa Iaincoari offrendatu vkan drauca: cein fedez testimoniage obtenitu vkan baitu iusto cela, ceren Iaincoac haren donoéz testificatzen baitzuen: eta oraino fede harçaz hil delaric minço da.
Through faith Abel offered to God a more acceptable sacrifice than Cain did, and through this faith he obtained testimony that he was righteous, God giving the testimony by accepting his gifts; and through it, though he is dead, he still speaks.
5 Fedez Henoch eraman içan da, herioa ikus ezleçançát: eta ezta eriden içan, ceren eraman baitzuen Iaincoac: ecen eraman cedin baino lehen, testimoniage vkan ceçan Iaincoaren gogaraco içan cela:
Through faith Enoch was taken from the earth so that he did not see death, and he could not be found, because God had taken him; for before he was taken we have evidence that he truly pleased God.
6 Bada impossible da fede gabe haren gogaraco içatea: ecen Iaincoagana ethorten denac, behar da sinhets deçan ecen Iaincoa badela, eta hura bilhatzen dutenén recompensaçale dela.
But where there is no faith it is impossible truly to please Him; for the man who draws near to God must believe that there is a God and that He proves Himself a rewarder of those who earnestly try to find Him.
7 Fedez Noéc, diuinoqui auertitu içanic oraino ikusten etziraden gaucéz, beldurturic, appresta ceçan arká bere familiaren saluatzeco: cein arkaz condemna baitzeçan mundua: eta eguin cedin fedearen arauez den iustitiaren heredero.
Through faith Noah, being divinely taught about things as yet unseen, reverently gave heed and built an ark for the safety of his family, and by this act he condemned the world, and became an heir of the righteousness which depends on faith.
8 Fedez Abrahamec deithu cenean obedi ceçan Iaincoa, heretagetan hartu behar çuen lekura ioan ledinçát, eta parti cedin norat ioaiten cen etzaquialaric.
Through faith Abraham, upon being called to leave home and go into a land which he was soon to receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing where he was going to.
9 Fedez egon cedin promettatu içan çayón lurrean bercerenean beçala, tabernacletan egoiten cela Isaac-equin eta Iacob-equin promes beraren herederoquidequin.
Through faith he came and made his home for a time in a land which had been promised to him, as if in a foreign country, living in tents together with Isaac and Jacob, sharers with him in the same promise;
10 Ecen ciuitate fundament-dunaren beguira cegoen ceinen eguilea eta fundaçalea baita Iaincoa.
for he continually looked forward to the city which has the foundations, whose architect and builder is God.
11 Fedez Sarac-ere haciaren concebitzeco indarra recebi ceçan, eta adinetic lekora erdi cedin, ceren estima baitzeçan hari promes eguin ceraucana fidel cela.
Through faith even Sarah herself received strength to become a mother--although she was past the time of life for this--because she judged Him faithful who had given the promise.
12 Eta halacotz batetaric (etare ia hilaganic) sorthu içan da gende handi ceruco içarrac beçala, eta itsas costaco conta ecin daiten sablea beçala.
And thus there sprang from one man, and him practically dead, a nation like the stars of the sky in number, and like the sands on the sea shore which cannot be counted.
13 Fedean hauc gucioc hil içan dirade promessac recebitu gabe: baina vrrundanic hec ikussiric eta sinhetsiric eta salutaturic, eta aithorturic ecen arrotz eta estrangér ciradela lurrean.
All these died in the possession of faith. They had not received the promised blessings, but had seen them from a distance and had greeted them, and had acknowledged themselves to be foreigners and strangers here on earth;
14 Ecen gauça hauc erraiten dituztenéc, claroqui eracusten dute ecen bere herriaren ondoan dabiltzala.
for men who acknowledge this make it manifest that they are seeking elsewhere a country of their own.
15 Eta segur, baldin harçaz orhoit içan balirade ceinetaric ilki içan baitziraden, itzultzeco dembora baçuten:
And if they had cherished the remembrance of the country they had left, they would have found an opportunity to return;
16 Baina orain hobeagobat desiratzen duté, erran nahi baita celestiala: hunegatic Iaincoari berari-ere etzayó laido hayén Iainco deitzera, ecen preparatu cerauen ciuitatebat.
but, as it is, we see them eager for a better land, that is to say, a heavenly one. For this reason God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has now prepared a city for them.
17 Fedez offrenda ceçan Abrahamec Isaac, enseyatu içan cenean, eta seme bakoitza offrenda ceçan, promessac recebitu vkan cituenac:
Through faith Abraham, as soon as God put him to the test, offered up Isaac. Yes, he who had joyfully welcomed the promises was on the point of sacrificing his only son
18 (Ceini erran içan baitzayón, Isaactan deithuren çaic hacia)
with regard to whom he had been told, "It is through Isaac that your posterity shall be traced."
19 Estimaturic ecen Iaincoac hiletaric-ere resuscita ahal leçaquela: nondic are hura conformitatez recruba baitzeçan.
For he reckoned that God is even able to raise a man up from among the dead, and, figuratively speaking, it was from among the dead that he received Isaac again.
20 Fedez, ethorteco ciraden gaucéz benedica citzan Isaac-ec Iacob eta Esau.
Through faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau, even in connexion with things soon to come.
21 Fedez, Iacob-ec hiltzean Iosephen semetaric batbedera benedica ceçan: eta adora ceçan bere makila buru gainean bermaturic.
Through faith Jacob, when dying, blessed each of Joseph's sons, and, leaning on the top of his staff, worshipped God.
22 Fedez, Iosephec hiltzean eguin ceçan mentione Israeleco haourrén ilkiteaz: eta bere heçurréz manamendu eman ceçan.
Through faith Joseph, when he was near his end, made mention of the departure of the descendants of Israel, and gave orders about his own body.
23 Fedez, Moyses sorthu içan cenean, gorde içan cen bere ahaidéz hirur hilebethez, ceren haour ederra baitzacussaten, eta ezpaitziraden beldur Regueren ordenançaren.
Through faith the child Moses was hid for three months by his parents, because they saw his rare beauty; and the king's edict had no terror for them.
24 Fedez, Moysesec ia handituric refusa ceçan Pharaoren alabaren seme deithu içatera:
Through faith Moses, when he grew to manhood, refused to be known as Pharaoh's daughter's son,
25 Hautatzenago çuela Iaincoaren populuarequin affligitu içatera, ecen ez dembora guti batetacotz bekatuzco atseguinén vkaitera:
having determined to endure ill-treatment along with the people of God rather than enjoy the short-lived pleasures of sin;
26 Abrastassun handiago estimaturic Christen iniuriá, ecen ez Egypten ciraden thesaurac, ecen recompensara beha cegoen.
because he deemed the reproaches which he might meet with in the service of the Christ to be greater riches than all the treasures of Egypt; for he fixed his gaze on the coming reward.
27 Fedez vtzi ceçan Egypte, Regueren hiraren beldurric gabe: ecen inuisible dena ikusten balu beçala, fermu eduqui ceçan.
Through faith he left Egypt, not being frightened by the king's anger; for he held on his course as seeing the unseen One.
28 Fedez eguin citzan Bazcoa eta odol issurtzea: lehen sorthuac deseguiten cituenac, hec hunqui ezlitzançát.
Through faith he instituted the Passover, and the sprinkling with blood so that the destroyer of the firstborn might not touch the Israelites.
29 Fedez iragan ceçaten itsas gorria leyhorrez beçala: cein gauça enseyaturic, Egyptianoac hundatu içan baitziraden.
Through faith they passed through the Red Sea as though they were passing over dry land, but the Egyptians, when they tried to do the same, were swallowed up.
30 Fedez Ierichoco murruac eror citecen, çazpi egunez inguratuac egonic.
Through faith the walls of Jericho fell to the ground after being surrounded for seven days.
31 Fedez, Rahab paillardá etzedin gal incredulequin batean, espiác baquerequin ostatuz recebitu vkan cituenean.
Through faith the notorious sinner Rahab did not perish along with the disobedient, for she had welcomed the spies and had sheltered them.
32 Eta cer erranen dut guehiago? ecen dembora faltaturen çait, contatu nahi badut Gedeonez, eta Barac-ez, eta Samsonez, eta Iephthez, eta Dauid-ez, eta Samuelez, eta Prophetez:
And why need I say more? For time will fail me if I tell the story of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, and of David and Samuel and the Prophets;
33 Ceinéc fedez combatitu vkan baitituzte resumác, fedez eguin vkan duté iustitia obtenitu vkan dituzte promessac, boçatu lehoinén ahoac,
men who, as the result of faith, conquered whole kingdoms, brought about true justice, obtained promises from God, stopped lions' mouths,
34 Iraungui suaren indarra, itzuri içan çaizte ezpata ahoey, sendo eguin içan dirade erietaric, borthitz eguin içan dirade guerlán, estrangerén campoac ihessitan irion dituzté,
deprived fire of its power, escaped being killed by the sword, out of weakness were made strong, became mighty in war, put to flight foreign armies.
35 Emaztéc recebitu vkan dituzte resurrectionez bere hilac: eta batzu hedatu içan dirade, deliuratu içatera conturic eguiten etzutelaric resurrectione hobebat obteni leçatençát.
Women received back their dear ones alive from the dead; and others were put to death with torture, refusing the deliverance offered to them--that they might secure a better resurrection.
36 Eta berceac phorogatu içan dirade escarnioz eta vkaldiz, bayeta guehiago estecaduraz eta presoindeguiz:
Others again were tested by cruel mockery and by scourging; yes, and by chains and imprisonment.
37 Lapidatu içan dirade, segatu içan dirade, tentatu içan dirade, ezpata herioz hil içan dirade: hara huna ebili içan dirade ardi eta ahunz larruz veztituric, abandonnaturic, affligituric, tormentaturic.
They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, they were tried by temptation, they were killed with the sword. They went from place to place in sheepskins or goatskins, enduring want, oppression and cruelty.
38 Eta ezpaitzén mundua hayén digne: desertuetan errebelatuac çabiltzala eta mendietan eta lecetan eta lur çulhoetan.
(They were men of whom the world was not worthy.) They wandered across deserts and mountains, or hid themselves in caves and in holes in the ground.
39 Eta hauc guciéc fedez testimoniage obtenituric, eztuté recebitu vkan promessa:
And although by their faith all these people won God's approval, none of them received the fulfilment of His great promise;
40 Iaincoac cerbait hoberic guretaco probedituric, gu gabe perfectionetara ethor ezlitecençát.
for God had provided for them and us something better, so that apart from us they were not to attain to full blessedness.
