Hebrews 11
1 Now faith is the foundation of hoping, the evidence of events not being seen.
Fayth is a sure confidence of thynges which are hoped for and a certayntie of thynges which are not sene.
2 For by this the ancients were well reported.
By it ye elders were well reported of.
3 By faith we understand the ages to have been prepared by the word of God. For the things that are seen do not come to be from that which is visible. (aiōn g165)
Thorow fayth we vnderstonde that the worlde was ordeyned by the worde of god: and that thynges which are sene were made of thynges which are not sene. (aiōn g165)
4 By faith Abel offered to God a better sacrifice than Cain, because of which he was reported to be righteous, God testifying about his gifts, and through it, he who died still speaks.
By fayth Abell offered vnto god a more plenteous sacrifice then Cayn: by which he obteyned witnes that he was righteous god testifyinge of his gyftes: by which also he beynge deed yet speaketh.
5 By faith Enoch was transferred to not see death, and he was not found, because God transferred him. For before his removal he was reported to be pleasing to God.
By fayth was Enoch traslated yt he shuld not se deeth: nether was he founde: for God had taken him awaye. Before he was taken awaye he was reported of that he had pleased God:
6 And apart from faith it is impossible to please him. For he who comes to God must believe that he is, and becomes a rewarder of those who search for him.
but with out fayth it is vnpossible to please him. For he that commeth to God must beleve that God is and that he is a rewarder of them that seke him.
7 By faith Noah, being divinely warned about things not yet seen, moved with awe, prepared an ark for the salvation of his house, through which he condemned the world, and became an heir of righteousness according to faith.
By fayth Noe honored God after that he was warned of thinges which were not sene and prepared the arcke to the savinge of his houssholde thorowe the which arcke he condempned the worlde and became heyre of the rightewesnes which commeth by fayth.
8 By faith Abraham, when called, obeyed to go out to the place that he was going to take for an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going.
By fayth Abraha whe he was called obeyed to goo out into a place which he shuld afterwarde receave to inheritaunce and he wet out not knowynge whether he shuld goo.
9 By faith he lived alien in the land of promise as a foreigner, having dwelt in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the fellow heirs of the same promise.
By fayth he removed into the londe yt was promysed him as into a straunge countre and dwelt in tabernacles: and so dyd Isaac and Iacob heyres with him of the same promes.
10 For he anticipated the city that has the foundations, whose builder and architect is God.
For he loked for a citie havinge a foundacio whose bylder and maker is God.
11 By faith even Sarah herself received power for conception of seed, and she gave birth beyond the time of age, because she considered him faithful who promised.
Thorow fayth Sara also receaved stregth to be with chylde and was delivered of a chylde when she was past age because she iudged him faythfull which had promysed.
12 And therefore from one man, and these things having become deadened, were begotten as the stars of the heaven for multitude, and as the sand of the seashore, countless.
And therfore spronge therof one (and of one which was as good as deed) so many in multitude as the starres of ye skye and as the sond of the see shore which is innumerable.
13 All these died in faith, not having taken the promises, but who saw and greeted them from afar, and who confessed that they were foreigners and sojourners on the earth.
And they all dyed in fayth and receaved not the promyses: but sawe them a farre of and beleved them and saluted them: and confessed that they were straungers and pilgrems on the erthe.
14 For those who say such things show that they are seeking a fatherland.
They that saye soche thinges declare that they seke a coutre.
15 And if indeed they remembered that from which they came out, they would have had time to return.
Also yf they had bene myndfull of that countre from whence they came oute they had leasure to have returned agayne.
16 But now they aspire for a superior one, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed of them, to be called their God, for he has prepared for them a city.
But now they desyre a better that is to saye a hevenlye. Wherfore God is not ashamed of them even to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a citie.
17 By faith Abraham, being tested, offered Isaac. And he who received the promises offered his only begotten son,
In fayth Abraham offered vp Isaac whe he was tempted and he offered him beinge his only begotten sonne which had receaved the promyses
18 about whom it was said, The seed by thee will be called in Isaac.
of who it was sayde in Isaac shall thy seed be called:
19 Having reckoned that God is able to raise up even from the dead, from where also, in a figure, he did receive him back.
for he cosidered that God was able to rayse vp agayne fro deeth. Wherfore receaved he him for an ensample.
20 By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau about things coming.
In fayth Isaac blessed Iacob and Esau concerninge thinges to come.
21 By faith Jacob, while dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, and bowed in worship upon the top of his staff.
By fayth Iacob when he was a dyinge blessed both the sonnes of Ioseph and bowed him selfe towarde the toppe of his cepter.
22 By faith Joseph, while perishing, remembered about the exodus of the sons of Israel, and commanded about his bones.
By fayth Ioseph when he dyed remebred the departinge of the chyldren of Israel and gave commaundement of his bones.
23 By faith Moses, after being born, was hid three months by his parents, because they saw the child well-formed, and they were not afraid of the king's edict.
By fayth Moses when he was borne was hid thre monethes of his father and mother be cause they sawe he was a proper chylde: nether feared they the kynges commaundemet.
24 By faith Moses, having become great, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter,
By fayth Moses when he was great refused to be called ye sonne of Pharaos doughter
25 having chosen rather to be mistreated with the people of God, than to have the pleasure of sin temporarily.
and chose rather to suffre adversitie wt the people of God then to enioye the pleasurs of synne for a ceason
26 Having esteemed the vilification of the Christ greater wealth than the treasures of Egypt, for he focused toward the recompense of reward.
and estemed the rebuke of Christ greater ryches then the treasure of Egypt. For he had a respect vnto ye rewarde.
27 By faith he forsook Egypt, not having feared the wrath of the king, for he persevered as seeing the invisible.
By fayth he forsoke Egypt and feared not the fearcenes of the kynge. For he endured even as he had sene him which is invisible.
28 By faith he performed the Passover and the sprinkling of the blood, so that he who was destroying the firstborn would not touch them.
Thorow fayth he ordeyned the ester lambe and the effusion of bloud lest he that destroyed the fyrst borne shuld touche them.
29 By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land, of which the Egyptians, having taken an attempt, were drowned.
By fayth they passed thorow the reed see as by drye londe which when the Egypcians had assayed to do they were drouned.
30 By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, having been encircled for seven days.
By fayth the walles of Ierico fell doune after they were copased about seven dayes.
31 By faith Rahab the harlot was not destroyed with those who were disobedient, having received the spies with peace.
By fayth ye harlot Raab perisshed not with the vnbelevers whe she had receaved the spyes to lodgynge peaseably.
32 And what shall I say further? For the time would fail me telling about Gideon, also Barak and Samson and Jephthah, also of David and Samuel and the prophets,
And what shall I more saye ye tyme wold be to short for me to tell of Gedeo of Barach and of Samson and of Iephthae: also of David and Samuel and of the Prophetes:
33 who, through faith, conquered kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, closed the mouths of lions,
which thorowe fayth subdued kyngdomes wrought righteousnes obteyned the promyses stopped the mouthes of lyons
34 quenched the force of fire, escaped the jaw of the sword. Out of weakness were made strong, became mighty in war, bowed down armies of aliens.
queched the violence of fyre escaped the edge of the swearde of weake were made stroge waxed valient in fight turned to flyght the armyes of the alientes.
35 Women took hold of their dead from a resurrection, but others were tortured, not having accepted deliverance, so that they might experience a superior resurrection.
And the wemen receaved their deed raysed to lyfe agayne. Other were racked and wolde not be delyvered that they myght receave a better resurreccion.
36 And others took a trial of mockings and scourgings, and moreover of bonds and imprisonment.
Other tasted of mockynges and scourginginges morover of bondes and presonmet:
37 They were stoned, they were sawed apart, they were tempted, they died in murder by sword. They wandered about in sheepskins, in goatskins, being destitute, restricted, tormented
were stoned were hewen a sunder were tepted were slayne with sweardes walked vppe and doune in shepes skynnes in gotes skynnes in nede tribulacio and vexacio
38 (of whom the world was not worthy), wandering in deserts and mountains and caves, and the holes of the earth.
which ye worlde was not worthy of: they wadred in wildernes in moutaynes in dennes and caves of the erth.
39 And all these, having been well reported through faith, did not receive the promise,
And these all thorow fayth obtayned good reporte and receaved not the promes
40 God having foreseen something superior concerning us, so that without us they would not be made fully perfect.
God provydinge a better thinge for vs that they with out vs shuld not be made parfecte.
