Hebrews 11
1 Now faith is assurance of things hoped for, proof of things not seen.
Vjera je pak tvrdo èekanje onoga èemu se nadamo, i dokazivanje onoga što ne vidimo.
2 For by this, the elders obtained approval.
Jer u njoj stari dobiše svjedoèanstvo.
3 By faith we understand that the universe has been framed by the word of God, so that what is seen has not been made out of things which are visible. (aiōn g165)
Vjerom poznajemo da je svijet rijeèju Božijom svršen, da je sve što vidimo iz ništa postalo. (aiōn g165)
4 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.
Vjerom prinese Avelj Bogu veæu žrtvu nego Kain, kroz koju dobi svjedoèanstvo da je pravednik, kad Bog posvjedoèi za dare njegove; i kroz nju on mrtav još govori.
5 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.
Vjerom bi Enoh prenesen da ne vidi smrti; i ne naðe se, jer ga Bog premjesti, jer prije nego ga premjesti, dobi svjedoèanstvo da ugodi Bogu.
6 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.
A bez vjere nije moguæe ugoditi Bogu; jer onaj koji hoæe da doðe k Bogu, valja da vjeruje da ima Bog i da plaæa onima koji ga traže.
7 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.
Vjerom Noje primivši zapovijest i pobojavši se onoga šta još ne vidje, naèini kovèeg za spasenije doma svojega, kojijem osudi sav svijet, i posta našljednik pravde po vjeri.
8 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.
Vjerom posluša Avraam kad bi pozvan da iziðe u zemlju koju šæaše da primi u našljedstvo, i iziðe ne znajuæi kuda ide.
9 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.
Vjerom doðe Avraam u zemlju obeæanu, kao u tuðu, i u kolibama življaše s Isakom i s Jakovom, sunašljednicima obeæanja toga.
10 For he was looking for the city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God.
Jer èekaše grad koji ima temelje, kojemu je zidar i tvorac Bog.
11 By faith even Sarah herself received power to conceive, and she bore a child when she was past age, since she counted him faithful who had promised.
Vjerom i sama Sara nerotkinja primi silu da zatrudni, i rodi preko vremena starosti; jer držaše za vjerna onoga koji obeæa.
12 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.
Zato se i rodiše od jednoga, još gotovo mrtvoga, kao zvijezde nebeske mnoštvom, i kao nebrojeni pijesak pokraj mora.
13 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.
U vjeri pomriješe svi ovi ne primivši obeæanja, nego ga vidjevši izdaleka, i poklonivši mu se, i priznavši da su gosti i došljaci na zemlji.
14 For those who say such things make it clear that they are seeking a country of their own.
Jer koji tako govore pokazuju da traže otaèanstva.
15 If indeed they had been thinking of that country from which they went out, they would have had enough time to return.
I da bi se oni opomenuli onoga iz kojega iziðoše, imali bi vrijeme da se vrate.
16 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.
Ali sad bolje žele, to jest nebesko. Zato se Bog ne stidi njih nazivati se Bog njihov; jer im pripravi grad.
17 By faith, Abraham, being tested, offered up Isaac. Yes, he who had gladly received the promises was offering up his only born son,
Vjerom privede Avraam Isaka kad bi kušan, i jedinorodnoga prinošaše, pošto bješe primio obeæanje,
18 to whom it was said, “Your offspring will be accounted as from Isaac,”
U kojemu bješe kazano: u Isaku nazvaæe ti se sjeme;
19 concluding that God is able to raise up even from the dead. Figuratively speaking, he also did receive him back from the dead.
Pomislivši da je Bog kadar i iz mrtvijeh vaskrsnuti; zato ga i uze za priliku.
20 By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau, even concerning things to come.
Vjerom blagoslovi Isak Jakova i Isava u stvarima koje æe doæi.
21 By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, and worshiped, leaning on the top of his staff.
Vjerom blagoslovi Jakov umiruæi svakoga sina Josifova, i pokloni se vrhu palice njegove.
22 By faith Joseph, when his end was near, made mention of the departure of the children of Israel, and gave instructions concerning his bones.
Vjerom se opominja Josif umiruæi izlaska sinova Izrailjevijeh, i zapovijeda za kosti svoje.
23 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.
Vjerom Mojsija, pošto se rodi, kriše tri mjeseca roditelji njegovi, jer vidješe krasno dijete, i ne pobojaše se zapovijesti careve.
24 By faith Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter,
Vjerom Mojsije, kad bi veliki, ne htjede da se naziva sin kæeri Faraonove;
25 choosing rather to share ill treatment with God’s people than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a time,
I volje stradati s narodom Božijim, negoli imati zemaljsku sladost grijeha:
26 considering the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt; for he looked to the reward.
Državši sramotu Hristovu za veæe bogatstvo od svega blaga Misirskoga; jer gledaše na platu.
27 By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.
Vjerom ostavi Misir, ne pobojavši se ljutine careve; jer se držaše onoga koji se ne vidi, kao da ga viðaše.
28 By faith he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of the blood, that the destroyer of the firstborn should not touch them.
Vjerom uèini pashu i proljev krvi, da se onaj koji gubljaše prvoroðene ne dotakne do njih.
29 By faith they passed through the Red Sea as on dry land. When the Egyptians tried to do so, they were swallowed up.
Vjerom prijeðoše Crveno More kao po suhoj zemlji; koje i Misirci okušavši potopiše se.
30 By faith the walls of Jericho fell down after they had been encircled for seven days.
Vjerom padoše zidovi Jerihonski, kad se obilazi oko njih sedam dana.
31 By faith Rahab the prostitute didn’t perish with those who were disobedient, having received the spies in peace.
Vjerom Raav kurva ne pogibe s nevjernicima, primivši uhode s mirom, i izvedavši ih drugijem putem.
32 What more shall I say? For the time would fail me if I told of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, Samuel, and the prophets—
I šta æu još da kažem? Jer mi ne bi dostalo vremena kad bih stao pripovijedati o Gedeonu, i o Varaku i Samsonu i Jeftaju, o Davidu i Samuilu, i o drugijem prorocima,
33 who through faith subdued kingdoms, worked out righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,
Koji vjerom pobijediše carstva, uèiniše pravdu, dobiše obeæanja, zatvoriše usta lavovima,
34 quenched the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, from weakness were made strong, grew mighty in war, and caused foreign armies to flee.
Ugasiše silu ognjenu, utekoše od oštrica maèa, ojaèaše od nemoæi, postaše jaki u bitkama, rastjeraše vojske tuðe;
35 Women received their dead by resurrection. Others were tortured, not accepting their deliverance, that they might obtain a better resurrection.
Žene primiše svoje mrtve iz vaskrsenija; a drugi biše pobijeni, ne primivši izbavljenja, da dobiju bolje vaskrsenije;
36 Others were tried by mocking and scourging, yes, moreover by bonds and imprisonment.
A drugi ruganje i boj podnesoše, pa još i okove i tamnice;
37 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—
Kamenjem pobijeni biše, pretrveni biše, iskušani biše, od maèa pomriješe; idoše u kožusima i u kozijim kožama, u sirotinji, u nevolji, u sramoti;
38 of whom the world was not worthy—wandering in deserts, mountains, caves, and the holes of the earth.
Kojijeh ne bijaše dostojan svijet, po pustinjama potucaše se, i po gorama i po peæinama i po rupama zemaljskijem.
39 These all, having been commended for their faith, didn’t receive the promise,
I ovi svi dobivši svjedoèanstvo vjerom ne primiše obeæanja;
40 God having provided some better thing concerning us, so that apart from us they should not be made perfect.
Jer Bog nešto bolje za nas odredi, da ne prime bez nas savršenstva.
