希伯來書 11
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1信就是所望之事的實底，是未見之事的確據。
1Now faith is the substance of things to be hoped for, the evidence of things that appear not.
2古人在這信上得了美好的證據。
2For by this the ancients obtained a testimony.
3我們因着信，就知道諸世界是藉上帝話造成的；這樣，所看見的，並不是從顯然之物造出來的。
3By faith we understand that the world was framed by the word of God; that from invisible things visible things might be made.
4亞伯 因着信，獻祭與上帝，比 該隱 所獻的更美，因此便得了稱義的見證，就是上帝指他禮物作的見證。他雖然死了，卻因這信，仍舊說話。
4By faith Abel offered to God a sacrifice exceeding that of Cain, by which he obtained a testimony that he was just, God giving testimony to his gifts; and by it he being dead yet speaketh.
5以諾 因着信，被接去，不至於見死，人也找不着他，因為上帝已經把他接去了；只是他被接去以先，已經得了上帝喜悅他的明證。
5By faith Henoch was translated, that he should not see death; and he was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had testimony that he pleased God.
6人非有信，就不能得上帝的喜悅；因為到上帝面前來的人必須信有上帝，且信他賞賜那尋求他的人。
6But without faith it is impossible to please God. For he that cometh to God, must believe that he is, and is a rewarder to them that seek him.
7挪亞 因着信，既蒙 上帝 指示他未見的事，動了敬畏的心，預備了一隻方舟，使他全家得救。因此就定了那世代的罪，自己也承受了那從信而來的義。
7By faith Noe, having received an answer concerning those things which as yet were not seen, moved with fear, framed the ark for the saving of his house, by the which he condemned the world; and was instituted heir of the justice which is by faith.
8亞伯拉罕 因着信，蒙召的時候就遵命出去，往將來要得為業的地方去；出去的時候，還不知往哪裏去。
8By faith he that is called Abraham, obeyed to go out into a place which he was to receive for an inheritance; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.
9他因着信，就在所應許之地作客，好像在異地居住帳棚，與那同蒙一個應許的 以撒 、 雅各 一樣。
9By faith he abode in the land, dwelling in cottages, with Isaac and Jacob, the co-heirs of the same promise.
10因為他等候那座有根基的城，就是上帝所經營所建造的。
10For he looked for a city that hath foundations; whose builder and maker is God.
11因着信，連 撒拉 自己，雖然過了生育的歲數，還能懷孕，因她以為那應許她的是可信的。
11By faith also Sara herself, being barren, received strength to conceive seed, even past the time of age; because she believed that he was faithful who had promised,
12所以從一個彷彿已死的人就生出 子孫 ，如同天上的星那樣眾多，海邊的沙那樣無數。
12For which cause there sprung even from one (and him as good as dead) as the stars of heaven in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable.
13這些人都是存着信心死的，並沒有得着所應許的；卻從遠處望見，且歡喜迎接，又承認自己在世上是客旅，是寄居的。
13All these died according to faith, not having received the promises, but beholding them afar off, and saluting them, and confessing that they are pilgrims and strangers on the earth.
14說這樣話的人是表明自己要找一個家鄉。
14For they that say these things, do signify that they seek a country.
15他們若想念所離開的家鄉，還有可以回去的機會。
15And truly if they had been mindful of that from whence they came out, they had doubtless time to return.
16他們卻羨慕一個更美的家鄉，就是在天上的。所以上帝被稱為他們的上帝，並不以為恥，因為他已經給他們預備了一座城。
16But now they desire a better, that is to say, a heavenly country. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God; for he hath prepared for them a city.
17亞伯拉罕 因着信，被試驗的時候，就把 以撒 獻上；這便是那歡喜領受應許的，將自己獨生的兒子獻上。
17By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered Isaac: and he that had received the promises, offered up his only begotten son;
18論到這兒子 ，曾有話說：「從 以撒 生的才要稱為你的後裔。」
18(To whom it was said: In Isaac shall thy seed be called.)
19他以為上帝還能叫人從死裏復活；他也彷彿從死中得回他的兒子來。
19Accounting that God is able to raise up even from the dead. Whereupon also he received him for a parable.
20以撒 因着信，就指着將來的事給 雅各 、 以掃 祝福。
20By faith also of things to come, Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau.

24摩西 因着信，長大了就不肯稱為法老女兒之子。
24By faith Moses, when he was grown up, denied himself to be the son of Pharao’s daughter;
25他寧可和上帝的百姓同受苦害，也不願暫時享受罪中之樂。
25Rather choosing to be afflicted with the people of God, than to have the pleasure of sin for a time,
26他看為基督受的凌辱比 埃及 的財物更寶貴，因他想望所要得的賞賜。
26Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasure of the Egyptians. For he looked unto the reward.
27他因着信，就離開 埃及 ，不怕王怒；因為他恆心忍耐，如同看見那不能看見的 主 。
27By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the fierceness of the king: for he endured as seeing him that is invisible.
28他因着信，就守逾越節，行灑血的禮，免得那滅長子的臨近 以色列 人。
28By faith he celebrated the pasch, and the shedding of the blood; that he, who destroyed the firstborn, might not touch them.
29他們因着信，過 紅海 如行乾地； 埃及 人試着要過去，就被吞滅了。
29By faith they passed through the Red Sea, as by dry land: which the Egyptians attempting, were swallowed up.
30以色列 人因着信，圍繞 耶利哥 城七日，城牆就倒塌了。

32我又何必再說呢？若要一一細說， 基甸 、 巴拉 、 參孫 、 耶弗他 、 大衛 、 撒母耳 ，和眾先知的事，時候就不夠了。
32And what shall I yet say? For the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, Barac, Samson, Jephthe, David, Samuel, and the prophets:
33他們因着信，制伏了敵國，行了公義，得了應許，堵了獅子的口，
33Who by faith conquered kingdoms, wrought justice, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,
34滅了烈火的猛勢，脫了刀劍的鋒刃；軟弱變為剛強，爭戰顯出勇敢，打退外邦的全軍。
34Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, recovered strength from weakness, became valiant in battle, put to flight the armies of foreigners:
35有婦人得自己的死人復活。又有人忍受嚴刑，不肯苟且得釋放，為要得着更美的復活。
35Women received their dead raised to life again. But others were racked, not accepting deliverance, that they might find a better resurrection.
36又有人忍受戲弄、鞭打、捆鎖、監禁、各等的磨煉，
36And others had trial of mockeries and stripes, moreover also of bands and prisons.
37被石頭打死，被鋸鋸死，受試探，被刀殺，披着綿羊、山羊的皮各處奔跑，受窮乏、患難、苦害，
37They were stoned, they were cut asunder, they were tempted, they were put to death by the sword, they wandered about in sheepskins, in goatskins, being in want, distressed, afflicted:
38在曠野、山嶺、山洞、地穴，飄流無定，本是世界不配有的人。
38Of whom the world was not worthy; wandering in deserts, in mountains, and in dens, and in caved of the earth.
39這些人都是因信得了美好的證據，卻仍未得着所應許的；
39And all these being approved by the testimony of faith, received not the promise;
40因為上帝給我們預備了更美的事，叫他們若不與我們同得，就不能完全。
40God providing some better thing for us, that they should not be perfected without us.
