Berean Standard Bible
1Tanghaih loe oep ih hmuen oh tangtang, tiah hnukhaih ah oh moe, hnuk ai ih hmuen to oh, tiah panoekthaihaih ih to ni.
1Now faith is the assurance of what we hope for and the certainty of what we do not see.
2Hae pongah ni canghnii ih kacoehtanawk mah pakoehhaih to hnuk o.
2This is why the ancients were commended.
3Long ah kaom hmuennawk loe Sithaw ih lok hoiah ni sak, tito tanghaih rang hoiah a panoek o; a hnuk o ih hmuennawk loe kamtueng hmuennawk hoiah sak ih na ai ni.
3By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.
4Tanghaih rang hoiah ni Abel mah Kain pongah kahoih kue hmuen to Sithaw khaeah paek, to tiah hmuenpaekhaih rang hoiah anih loe kami katoeng ni, tito amtuengsak, anih mah paek ih tangqumnawk loe Sithaw mah talawk pae: anih loe duek boeh, toe vaihi khoek to lok a thuih vop.
4By faith Abel offered God a better sacrifice than Cain did. By faith he was commended as righteous when God gave approval to his gifts. And by faith he still speaks, even though he is dead.
5Tanghaih rang hoiah ni Enok loe duekhaih pataeng han ai ah lak ving ah oh; anih loe Sithaw mah lak ving boeh pongah, hnu thai ai boeh; anih to la ving ai naah, anih loe Sithaw palung tongh kami, tiah thuihaih to a hnuk.
5By faith Enoch was taken up so that he did not see death: “He could not be found, because God had taken him away.” For before he was taken, he was commended as one who pleased God.
6Toe tanghaih om ai ah loe Sithaw palung anghoesak thai ai: Sithaw khaeah angzo kami mah Sithaw loe oh, Anih loe loktang hoi Anih pakrong kaminawk khaeah tangqum paekkung ah oh, tiah tang han angaih.
6And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who approaches Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him.
7Tanghaih rang hoiah ni Noah loe, hnuk vai ai ih angzo han koi hmuen to Sithaw mah thuih pae coek, Sithaw zithaih hoiah khosak pongah, angmah ih imthung takoh kaminawk pahlong hanah palong to a thuk; a tanghaih rang hoiah long kaminawk to lokcaek moe, tanghaih rang hoiah toenghaih qawk toepkung ah oh.
7By faith Noah, when warned about things not yet seen, in godly fear built an ark to save his family. By faith he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness that comes by faith.
8Qawktoep han ih prae ah caeh hanah Abraham to kawk naah, anih mah naa ah maw a caeh, tito panoek ai, tanghaih rang hoiah ni Anih ih lok to tahngaih moe a caeh.
8By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, without knowing where he was going.
9Tanghaih rang hoiah ni lokkam ih prae ah kholong a caeh moe, angvin baktiah a oh, angmah hoi kanghmong lokkamhaih qawktoep koi Isak, Jakob hoi nawnto kahni imthung ah a oh:
9By faith he dwelt in the promised land as a stranger in a foreign country. He lived in tents, as did Isaac and Jacob, who were heirs with him of the same promise.
10Abraham loe Sithaw mah sak ih, angdoethaih kaom kacak vangpui to ni pakrong.
10For he was looking forward to the city with foundations, whose architect and builder is God.
11Tanghaih rang hoiah ni Sarah mah doeh lokkamhaih paek, Anih loe oepthoh, tiah panoek moe, mitong pacoengah zokpom hanah, thacakhaih to a hnuk.
11By faith Sarah, even though she was barren and beyond the proper age, was enabled to conceive a child, because she considered Him faithful who had promised.
12Kadueh hoi kanghmong, anih maeto khae hoiah ni, van cakaeh zetto kapop, tuipui taeng ih kroek laek ai savuet baktiah angpung o.
12And so from one man, and he as good as dead, came descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as countless as the sand on the seashore.
13Hae kaminawk loe lokkamhaih hnu ai ah duek o boih, toe palung thung hoiah panoek o moe, pakuem o; to hmuennawk to kangthla ahmuen hoiah a danh o, nihcae mah kaicae loe long nuiah angvin hoi kholong caeh kami ah ni ka oh o, tiah panoek o.
13All these people died in faith, without having received the things they were promised. However, they saw them and welcomed them from afar. And they acknowledged that they were strangers and exiles on the earth.
14To tiah lokthui kaminawk mah nihcae loe angmacae ohhaih prae to ni pakrong o, tito amtueng o sak.
14Now those who say such things show that they are seeking a country of their own.
15Nihcae mah angmacae tacawthaih prae to poek o nahaeloe, to prae ah amlaem thaihaih atue karaem to hnu o tih boeh.
15If they had been thinking of the country they had left, they would have had opportunity to return.
16Toe vaihi loe nihcae mah kahoih kue, van ah kaom prae to a koeh o; to pongah Sithaw mah kai loe nihcae ih Sithaw ah ka oh, tiah thuih han azat ai: Sithaw mah nihcae ohhaih vangpui to paroep pae boeh.
16Instead, they were longing for a better country, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has prepared a city for them.

17By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac on the altar. He who had received the promises was ready to offer his one and only son,
18anih kawng pongah, Nang ih atii loe Isak khae hoiah ni kroek tih, tiah thuih ih lok to oh:
18even though God had said to him, “Through Isaac your offspring will be reckoned.”
19Sithaw mah loe kadueh kami to pathawk thaih, tiah anih mah tang; to pongah patahhaih baktiah duekhaih thung hoiah angthawk let a capa to anih mah hnuk.
19Abraham reasoned that God could raise the dead, and in a sense, he did receive Isaac back from death.
20Tanghaih rang hoiah ni angzo han koi hmuennawk pongah, Isak mah Jakob hoi Esau to tahamhoihaih paek.
20By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning the future.
21Tanghaih rang hoiah ni Jakob mah duek tom naah, Joseph ih caanawk to tahamhoihaih paek; angmah ih cunghet pongah amha moe, Sithaw to a bok.
21By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of Joseph’s sons and worshiped as he leaned on the top of his staff.
22Tanghaih rang hoiah ni Joseph mah duek tom naah, Israel kaminawk tacawthaih kawng hoi angmah ih ahuh kawng to a thuih.

23By faith Moses’ parents hid him for three months after his birth, because they saw that he was a beautiful child, and they were unafraid of the king’s edict.
24Tanghaih rang hoiah ni Mosi loe saning akoep pacoengah, Faro canu ih capa ah oh han koeh ai;
24By faith Moses, when he was grown, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter.
25zae koehhaih thungah atue setta thung kanawm acaeng pongah loe, anih mah Sithaw kaminawk hoi nawnto patangkhanghaih to qoih lat;
25He chose to suffer oppression with God’s people rather than to experience the fleeting enjoyment of sin.
26Kri pongah kasae thuihaih loe, Izip prae ih tacongnawk pongah atho oh kue, tiah a poek moe, a hnuk han koi tangqum to a khet lat.
26He valued disgrace for Christ above the treasures of Egypt, for he was looking ahead to his reward.
27Tanghaih rang hoiah ni siangpahrang palungphuihaih to zii ai ah, Izip prae to a caehtaak: hnuk thai ai ih Sithaw to a hnuk thaih pongah, pauephaih hoiah khosak.
27By faith Moses left Egypt, not fearing the king’s anger; he persevered because he saw Him who is invisible.
28Tanghaih rang hoiah ni misong loihaih poih hoi athii pathaekhaih to a sak, to tih ai nahaeloe calu humkung Anih mah Israel kaminawk to hum tih.
28By faith he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of blood, so that the destroyer of the firstborn would not touch Israel’s own firstborn.
29Tanghaih rang hoiah ni nihcae mah, tuipui kathim to saoeng ah caeh baktiah a caeh o: Izip kaminawk mah to tiah caeh o toeng han amsak o naah loe, tui mah nihcae to uem boih.

32And what more shall I say? Time will not allow me to tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, Samuel, and the prophets,
33tanghaih rang hoiah ni nihcae mah praenawk to lak o, toenghaih to a sak o pongah lokkamhaih to a hnuk o moe, kaipui pakha to tamuep o,
33who through faith conquered kingdoms, administered justice, and gained what was promised; who shut the mouths of lions,

34quenched the raging fire, and escaped the edge of the sword; who gained strength from weakness, became mighty in battle, and put foreign armies to flight.

35Women received back their dead, raised to life again. Others were tortured and refused their release, so that they might gain a better resurrection.

37They were stoned, they were sawed in two, they were put to death by the sword. They went around in sheepskins and goatskins, destitute, oppressed, and mistreated.
38(nihcae hanah loe long hae atho om ai:) nihcae loe praezaek hoi mae nuiah amhet o moe, tahawt hoi thlungkhaw thungah khosak o.
38The world was not worthy of them. They wandered in deserts and mountains, and hid in caves and holes in the ground.

39These were all commended for their faith, yet they did not receive what was promised.
