Hebrews 11
1 Now faith is assurance of things hoped for, proof of things not seen.
vi"svaasa aa"sa. msitaanaa. m ni"scaya. h, ad. r"syaanaa. m vi. sayaa. naa. m dar"sana. m bhavati|
2 For by this, the elders obtained approval.
tena vi"svaasena praa nco lokaa. h praamaa. nya. m praaptavanta. h|
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)
aparam ii"svarasya vaakyena jagantyas. rjyanta, d. r.s. tavastuuni ca pratyak. savastubhyo nodapadyantaitad vaya. m vi"svaasena budhyaamahe| (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.
vi"svaasena haabil ii"svaramuddi"sya kaabila. h "sre. s.tha. m balidaana. m k. rtavaan tasmaacce"svare. na tasya daanaanyadhi pramaa. ne datte sa dhaarmmika ityasya pramaa. na. m labdhavaan tena vi"svaasena ca sa m. rta. h san adyaapi bhaa. sate|
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.
vi"svaasena hanok yathaa m. rtyu. m na pa"syet tathaa lokaantara. m niita. h, tasyodde"sa"sca kenaapi na praapi yata ii"svarasta. m lokaantara. m niitavaan, tatpramaa. namida. m tasya lokaantariikara. naat puurvva. m sa ii"svaraaya rocitavaan iti pramaa. na. m praaptavaan|
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.
kintu vi"svaasa. m vinaa ko. apii"svaraaya rocitu. m na "saknoti yata ii"svaro. asti svaanve. silokebhya. h puraskaara. m dadaati cetikathaayaam ii"svara"sara. naagatai rvi"svasitavya. m|
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.
apara. m tadaanii. m yaanyad. r"syaanyaasan taanii"svare. naadi. s.ta. h san noho vi"svaasena bhiitvaa svaparijanaanaa. m rak. saartha. m pota. m nirmmitavaan tena ca jagajjanaanaa. m do. saan dar"sitavaan vi"svaasaat labhyasya pu. nyasyaadhikaarii babhuuva ca|
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.
vi"svaasenebraahiim aahuuta. h san aaj naa. m g. rhiitvaa yasya sthaanasyaadhikaarastena praaptavyastat sthaana. m prasthitavaan kintu prasthaanasamaye kka yaamiiti naajaanaat|
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.
vi"svaasena sa pratij naate de"se parade"savat pravasan tasyaa. h pratij naayaa. h samaanaa. m"sibhyaam ishaakaa yaakuubaa ca saha duu. syavaasyabhavat|
10 For he was looking for the city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God.
yasmaat sa ii"svare. na nirmmita. m sthaapita nca bhittimuulayukta. m nagara. m pratyaik. sata|
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.
apara nca vi"svaasena saaraa vayotikraantaa santyapi garbhadhaara. naaya "sakti. m praapya putravatyabhavat, yata. h saa pratij naakaari. na. m vi"svaasyam amanyata|
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.
tato heto rm. rtakalpaad ekasmaat janaad aakaa"siiyanak. satraa. niiva ga. nanaatiitaa. h samudratiirasthasikataa iva caasa. mkhyaa lokaa utpedire|
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.
ete sarvve pratij naayaa. h phalaanyapraapya kevala. m duuraat taani niriik. sya vanditvaa ca, p. rthivyaa. m vaya. m vide"sina. h pravaasina"scaasmaha iti sviik. rtya vi"svaasena praa. naan tatyaju. h|
14 For those who say such things make it clear that they are seeking a country of their own.
ye tu janaa ittha. m kathayanti tai. h pait. rkade"so. asmaabhiranvi. syata iti prakaa"syate|
15 If indeed they had been thinking of that country from which they went out, they would have had enough time to return.
te yasmaad de"saat nirgataasta. m yadyasmari. syan tarhi paraavarttanaaya samayam alapsyanta|
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.
kintu te sarvvotk. r.s. tam arthata. h svargiiya. m de"sam aakaa"nk. santi tasmaad ii"svarastaanadhi na lajjamaanaste. saam ii"svara iti naama g. rhiitavaan yata. h sa te. saa. m k. rte nagarameka. m sa. msthaapitavaan|
17 By faith, Abraham, being tested, offered up Isaac. Yes, he who had gladly received the promises was offering up his only born son,
aparam ibraahiima. h pariik. saayaa. m jaataayaa. m sa vi"svaaseneshaakam utsasarja,
18 to whom it was said, “Your offspring will be accounted as from Isaac,”
vastuta ishaaki tava va. m"so vikhyaasyata iti vaag yamadhi kathitaa tam advitiiya. m putra. m pratij naapraapta. h sa utsasarja|
19 concluding that God is able to raise up even from the dead. Figuratively speaking, he also did receive him back from the dead.
yata ii"svaro m. rtaanapyutthaapayitu. m "saknotiiti sa mene tasmaat sa upamaaruupa. m ta. m lebhe|
20 By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau, even concerning things to come.
aparam ishaak vi"svaasena yaakuub e. saave ca bhaavivi. sayaanadhyaa"si. sa. m dadau|
21 By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, and worshiped, leaning on the top of his staff.
apara. m yaakuub mara. nakaale vi"svaasena yuu. sapha. h putrayorekaikasmai janaayaa"si. sa. m dadau ya. s.tyaa agrabhaage samaalambya pra. nanaama ca|
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.
apara. m yuu. saph caramakaale vi"svaasenesraayelva. m"siiyaanaa. m misarade"saad bahirgamanasya vaaca. m jagaada nijaasthiini caadhi samaadide"sa|
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.
navajaato muusaa"sca vi"svaasaat traan maasaan svapit. rbhyaam agopyata yatastau sva"si"su. m paramasundara. m d. r.s. tavantau raajaaj naa nca na "sa"nkitavantau|
24 By faith Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter,
apara. m vaya. hpraapto muusaa vi"svaasaat phirau. no dauhitra iti naama naa"ngiicakaara|
25 choosing rather to share ill treatment with God’s people than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a time,
yata. h sa k. sa. nikaat paapajasukhabhogaad ii"svarasya prajaabhi. h saarddha. m du. hkhabhoga. m vavre|
26 considering the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt; for he looked to the reward.
tathaa misarade"siiyanidhibhya. h khrii. s.tanimittaa. m nindaa. m mahatii. m sampatti. m mene yato heto. h sa puraskaaradaanam apaik. sata|
27 By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.
apara. m sa vi"svaasena raaj na. h krodhaat na bhiitvaa misarade"sa. m paritatyaaja, yatastenaad. r"sya. m viik. samaa. neneva dhairyyam aalambi|
28 By faith he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of the blood, that the destroyer of the firstborn should not touch them.
apara. m prathamajaataanaa. m hantaa yat sviiyalokaan na sp. r"set tadartha. m sa vi"svaasena nistaaraparvviiyabalicchedana. m rudhirasecana ncaanu. s.thitaavaan|
29 By faith they passed through the Red Sea as on dry land. When the Egyptians tried to do so, they were swallowed up.
apara. m te vi"svaasaat sthaleneva suuphsaagare. na jagmu. h kintu misriiyalokaastat karttum upakramya toye. su mamajju. h|
30 By faith the walls of Jericho fell down after they had been encircled for seven days.
apara nca vi"svaasaat tai. h saptaaha. m yaavad yiriiho. h praaciirasya pradak. si. ne k. rte tat nipapaata|
31 By faith Rahab the prostitute didn’t perish with those who were disobedient, having received the spies in peace.
vi"svaasaad raahabnaamikaa ve"syaapi priityaa caaraan anug. rhyaavi"svaasibhi. h saarddha. m na vinanaa"sa|
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—
adhika. m ki. m kathayi. syaami? gidiyono baaraka. h "sim"sono yiptaho daayuud "simuuyelo bhavi. syadvaadina"scaite. saa. m v. rttaantakathanaaya mama samayaabhaavo bhavi. syati|
33 who through faith subdued kingdoms, worked out righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,
vi"svaasaat te raajyaani va"siik. rtavanto dharmmakarmmaa. ni saadhitavanta. h pratij naanaa. m phala. m labdhavanta. h si. mhaanaa. m mukhaani ruddhavanto
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.
vahnerdaaha. m nirvvaapitavanta. h kha"ngadhaaraad rak. saa. m praaptavanto daurbbalye sabaliik. rtaa yuddhe paraakrami. no jaataa. h pare. saa. m sainyaani davayitavanta"sca|
35 Women received their dead by resurrection. Others were tortured, not accepting their deliverance, that they might obtain a better resurrection.

36 Others were tried by mocking and scourging, yes, moreover by bonds and imprisonment.
apare tiraskaarai. h ka"saabhi rbandhanai. h kaarayaa ca pariik. sitaa. h|
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—
bahava"sca prastaraaghaatai rhataa. h karapatrai rvaa vidiir. naa yantrai rvaa kli. s.taa. h kha"ngadhaarai rvaa vyaapaaditaa. h| te me. saa. naa. m chaagaanaa. m vaa carmmaa. ni paridhaaya diinaa. h pii. ditaa du. hkhaarttaa"scaabhraamyan|
38 of whom the world was not worthy—wandering in deserts, mountains, caves, and the holes of the earth.
sa. msaaro ye. saam ayogyaste nirjanasthaane. su parvvate. su gahvare. su p. rthivyaa"schidre. su ca paryya. tan|
39 These all, having been commended for their faith, didn’t receive the promise,
etai. h sarvvai rvi"svaasaat pramaa. na. m praapi kintu pratij naayaa. h phala. m na praapi|
40 God having provided some better thing concerning us, so that apart from us they should not be made perfect.
