Hebrews 11
1 Fayth is a sure confidence of thynges which are hoped for and a certayntie of thynges which are not sene.
第二款 舊約時代の英雄の信仰の例 抑信仰は希望すべき事物の保證、見えざる事物の證據なり、
2 By it ye elders were well reported of.
蓋故人之を以て好評を得たり。
3 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)
信仰に由りて我等は、世界が神の一言にて組立てられ、現に見ゆるものが見ゆるものより成出でざりしことを暁る。 (aiōn g165)
4 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.
信仰に由りてアベルは、カインの其に優れる犠牲を神に献げ、信仰に由りて義人たる保證を受け、神其献物を保證し給ひ、彼は信仰に由りて死しても猶言ふなり。
5 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:
信仰に由りてヘノクは、死を見ざらん為に移され、神之を移し給ひしに由りて見出されざりき、其は移転の前に神の御意に適へる事を證せられたればなり。
6 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.
信仰なくしては神の御意に適ふこと能はず、蓋神に近づき奉る人は、必ずや神の存在して之を求め奉る人々に報い給ふ者なる事を信ぜざるべからず。
7 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.
信仰によりてノエは、未だ見えざる事柄に就きて黙示を蒙り、畏みて家族を救はん為に方舟を造り、之を以て世の人を罪し、其身は信仰に由れる義の世嗣と為られたり。
8 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.
信仰に由りてアブラハムは、承継ぐべき地に出づべしとの召に從ひ、何處に行くべきかを知らずして立出でたり。
9 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.
彼は約束の地に於て他國にあるが如く、同じ約束を相継ぐべきイザアク、ヤコブと共に幕屋に住めり、
10 For he loked for a citie havinge a foundacio whose bylder and maker is God.
其は神を其設立者、建築者に戴ける、基礎ある都會を待てばなり。
11 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.
信仰に由りてサラも、石女にして齢過ぎたるに孕を胎す力を得たり、是約し給へる者の忠實に在す事を信じたるが故なり、
12 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.
斯て一人より、而も既に死せるに齊しき者より出でし人、空の星の如く夥しく、海辺の眞砂の如く數へ難し。
13 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.
彼等は皆信仰に從ひ、約束のものを受けずして死したれども、遥に望みて之を祝し、地上に於て己は旅人たり寄留人たる事を宣言せり。
14 They that saye soche thinges declare that they seke a coutre.
斯く語る人々は、是本國を求むる事を示す者なり。
15 Also yf they had bene myndfull of that countre from whence they came oute they had leasure to have returned agayne.
若其懐へる所曾て出でたる本國ならば、復還る時もありしならん、
16 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.
然れど彼等は、今一層善きもの、即ち天の[本國]を慕ひしなり、故に神は彼等の神と呼ばるるを耻とし給はず、其は彼等の為に都會を備へ給ひたればなり。
17 In fayth Abraham offered vp Isaac whe he was tempted and he offered him beinge his only begotten sonne which had receaved the promyses
信仰に由りてアブラハムは、試みられし時イザアクを献げたり、其献げたりしは、約束を蒙りたりし獨子にして、
18 of who it was sayde in Isaac shall thy seed be called:
曾て「汝の子孫と稱へらるるはイザアクによるべし」と謂はれし其者なりき。
19 for he cosidered that God was able to rayse vp agayne fro deeth. Wherfore receaved he him for an ensample.
即ち彼謂へらく、神は死したる人々をも復活せしむるを得給ふなりと、而して前表として其子を還與へられたり。
20 In fayth Isaac blessed Iacob and Esau concerninge thinges to come.
信仰に由りてイザアクは、将來の事に就きてヤコブとエザウとを祝福せり。
21 By fayth Iacob when he was a dyinge blessed both the sonnes of Ioseph and bowed him selfe towarde the toppe of his cepter.
信仰に由りてヤコブは、死に臨みてヨゼフの子等を各祝福し、杖の首に倚りて禮拝せり。
22 By fayth Ioseph when he dyed remebred the departinge of the chyldren of Israel and gave commaundement of his bones.
信仰に由りてヨゼフは、死に臨みてイスラエルの子等の出立を思はしめ、己が骸骨に就きて命を下せり。
23 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.
信仰に由りてモイゼは、生れて三月の間兩親によりて匿されたり、是其子の美しきを見たるが故にして、彼等は國王の命令を懼れざりき。
24 By fayth Moses when he was great refused to be called ye sonne of Pharaos doughter
信仰に由りてモイゼは、成長してファラオンの女の子たる事を否めり、
25 and chose rather to suffre adversitie wt the people of God then to enioye the pleasurs of synne for a ceason
即ち罪によれる暫時の快樂よりも、寧神の民と共に悩むことを擇み、
26 and estemed the rebuke of Christ greater ryches then the treasure of Egypt. For he had a respect vnto ye rewarde.
キリストの耻辱を以てエジプトの寳に優れる富とせり、其は報酬を眺め居たればなり。
27 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.
信仰に由りて彼は、國王の怒を怖れずしてエジプトを去れり、即ち見えざる所を見るが如くにして忍耐せしなり。
28 Thorow fayth he ordeyned the ester lambe and the effusion of bloud lest he that destroyed the fyrst borne shuld touche them.
信仰に由りて彼は過越を祝ひ、又長子を亡ぼせる者の彼等に触れざらん為、[羔の]血を沃ぐ禮を行へり。
29 By fayth they passed thorow the reed see as by drye londe which when the Egypcians had assayed to do they were drouned.
信仰に由りて彼等は、紅海を陸の如くにして渡れり、エジプト人は之を試みて溺れたりき。
30 By fayth the walles of Ierico fell doune after they were copased about seven dayes.
信仰に由りてエリコの城壁は、七日の間廻られて崩れたり。
31 By fayth ye harlot Raab perisshed not with the vnbelevers whe she had receaved the spyes to lodgynge peaseably.
信仰に由りて娼婦ラハブは、探偵者を懇切に接待せしかば、不信者と共には亡びざりき。
32 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:
此外に我何をか言はん、ゲデオン、バラク、サムソン、イエフテ、ダヴィド、サムエル及び預言者等の事を述べんには時足らざるべし。
33 which thorowe fayth subdued kyngdomes wrought righteousnes obteyned the promyses stopped the mouthes of lyons
信仰に由りて彼等は、國々に打ち勝ち、義を行ひ、約束を蒙り、獅子の口を塞ぎ、
34 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.
火の勢を消し、剣の刃を迯れ、弱きを強うせられ、軍に勇ましき者と成りて異邦人の陣を破り、
35 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.
婦人等は其死したりし者を復活を以て還與へられ、或人々は引裂かれて、勝れたる復活を得ん為に迯るる事を肯ぜず、
36 Other tasted of mockynges and scourginginges morover of bondes and presonmet:
或人々は侮辱打擲の上に捕縛入獄に遇ひ、
37 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
石を擲たれ、鋸にて挽かれ、試され、剣にて殺され、羊山羊の毛皮を纏ひて萬事に缺乏し、責められ悩まされて流浪せり。
38 which ye worlde was not worthy of: they wadred in wildernes in moutaynes in dennes and caves of the erth.
世は此人々を置くに堪へざりしに、彼等は荒地に山に、地の洞及び穴の内に彷徨ひしなり。
39 And these all thorow fayth obtayned good reporte and receaved not the promes
彼等も皆信仰の稱揚を得たれども、約束のものをば得ざりき。
40 God provydinge a better thinge for vs that they with out vs shuld not be made parfecte.
是神が我等の為に更に宜しき事を圖り給ひて、我等と共にならでは彼等の全うせられざらん為なり。
