¹And faith is of things hoped for a confidence, of matters not seen a conviction,

¹Usk on loodetava tõelisus, nähtamatute asjade tõendus.

²for in this were the elders testified of;

²Selle kohta on ju esivanemad saanud tunnistuse.

³by faith we understand the ages to have been prepared by a saying of God, in regard to the things seen not having come out of things appearing;

³Usus me mõistame, et maailmad on valmistatud Jumala sõna läbi, nii et nägematust on sündinud nähtav.

⁴by faith a better sacrifice did Abel offer to God than Cain, through which he was testified to be righteous, God testifying of his gifts, and through it, he being dead, doth yet speak.

⁴Usus tõi Aabel Jumalale parema ohvri kui Kain, mille tõttu ta sai tunnistuse, et tema on õige, kuna Jumal andis tema andide kohta tunnistuse, ja usu kaudu ta räägib veel surnunagi.

⁵By faith Enoch was translated — not to see death, and was not found, because God did translate him; for before his translation he had been testified to — that he had pleased God well,

⁵Usus võeti ära Eenok, et ta ei näeks surma, ja teda ei leitud enam, sest Jumal oli ta ära võtnud. Aga juba enne, kui ta ära võeti, oli ta saanud tunnistuse, et ta on olnud Jumalale meelepärane.

⁶and apart from faith it is impossible to please well, for it behoveth him who is coming to God to believe that He is, and to those seeking Him He becometh a rewarder.

⁶Aga ilma usuta on võimatu olla meelepärane, sest kes tuleb Jumala juurde, peab uskuma, et tema on olemas ja et ta annab palga neile, kes teda otsivad.

⁷By faith Noah, having been divinely warned concerning the things not yet seen, having feared, did prepare an ark to the salvation of his house, through which he did condemn the world, and of the righteousness according to faith he became heir.

⁷Usu läbi sai Noa hoiatuse selle kohta, mida veel ei olnud näha, ja ta ehitas jumalakartuses laeva oma pere päästmiseks; ja selle kaudu ta mõistis süüdi maailma ja sai selle õiguse pärijaks, mis tuleb usust.

⁸By faith Abraham, being called, did obey, to go forth to the place that he was about to receive for an inheritance, and he went forth, not knowing whither he doth go;

⁸Usus oli Aabraham kuulekas, kui teda kutsuti minema paika, mille ta pidi saama pärandiks, ja ta läks välja, teadmata, kuhu ta läheb.

⁹by faith he did sojourn in the land of the promise as a strange country, in tabernacles having dwelt with Isaac and Jacob, fellow-heirs of the same promise,

⁹Usus ta asus elama tõotatud maale otsekui võõrsile, elades telkides koos Iisaki ja Jaakobiga, kes olid sellesama tõotuse kaaspärijad.

¹⁰for he was looking for the city having the foundations, whose artificer and constructor [is] God.

¹⁰Sest ta ootas kindlale alusele rajatud linna, mille meister ja ehitaja on Jumal.

¹¹By faith also Sarah herself did receive power to conceive seed, and she bare after the time of life, seeing she did judge Him faithful who did promise;

¹¹Usus sai isegi Saara väe suguvõsa rajamiseks ja seda eakusest hoolimata, sest ta pidas tõotajat ustavaks.

¹²wherefore, also from one were begotten — and that of one who had become dead — as the stars of the heaven in multitude, and as sand that [is] by the sea-shore — the innumerable.

¹²Seepärast ka sündis sellest ühestainsast, pealegi mehejõu kaotanud mehest hulga poolest nii palju järglasi nagu tähti taevas ja nagu liiva mere rannal, mida ei saa ära lugeda.

¹³In faith died all these, not having received the promises, but from afar having seen them, and having been persuaded, and having saluted [them], and having confessed that strangers and sojourners they are upon the earth,

¹³Need kõik surid uskudes, saamata kätte tõotusi, vaid nähes ja tervitades neid kaugelt. Ja nad tunnistasid end olevat võõrad ja majalised maa peal.

¹⁴for those saying such things make manifest that they seek a country;

¹⁴Kuid kes selliselt kõnelevad, annavad mõista, et nad otsivad kodumaad.

¹⁵and if, indeed, they had been mindful of that from which they came forth, they might have had an opportunity to return,

¹⁵Kui nende meeles oleks olnud maa, kust nad olid välja läinud, küllap neil oleks olnud aega pöörduda tagasi.

¹⁶but now they long for a better, that is, an heavenly, wherefore God is not ashamed of them, to be called their God, for He did prepare for them a city.

¹⁶Ent nüüd nad ihkavad paremat, see tähendab taevast kodumaad. Seetõttu ei ole Jumalal nende pärast häbi lasta ennast hüüda nende Jumalaks, kuna ta on valmistanud neile linna.

¹⁷By faith Abraham hath offered up Isaac, being tried, and the only begotten he did offer up who did receive the promises,

¹⁷Usus viis Aabraham, kui teda proovile pandi, ohvriks Iisaki; tema, kes oli saanud tõotused, oli valmis ohverdama oma ainusündinu;

¹⁸of whom it was said — `In Isaac shall a seed be called to thee;`

¹⁸tema, kellele oli öeldud: 'Sinu sugu loetakse Iisakist.'

¹⁹reckoning that even out of the dead God is able to raise up, whence also in a figure he did receive [him].

¹⁹Sest ta arvestas, et Jumal võib ka surnuist üles äratada, seepärast ta saigi tema tagasi ettetähenduseks.

²⁰By faith, concerning coming things, Isaac did bless Jacob and Esau;

²⁰Usus õnnistas Iisak ka Jaakobit ja Eesavit tulevaste asjade suhtes.

²¹by faith Jacob dying — each of the sons of Joseph did bless, and did bow down upon the top of his staff;

²¹Usus õnnistas surev Jaakob Joosepi mõlemat poega ja kummardas Jumalat oma kepi najal.

²²by faith, Joseph dying, concerning the outgoing of the sons of Israel did make mention, and concerning his bones did give command.

²²Usus tuletas Joosep oma elu lõpul meelde Iisraeli laste lahkumist ja andis käsu oma luude kohta.

²³By faith Moses, having been born, was hid three months by his parents, because they saw the child comely, and were not afraid of the decree of the king;

²³Usus hoidsid Moosese vanemad pärast ta sündimist teda kolm kuud varjul, sest nad nägid ta olevat ilusa lapse ega kartnud kuninga korraldust.

²⁴by faith Moses, having become great, did refuse to be called a son of the daughter of Pharaoh,

²⁴Usus keeldus Mooses, kui ta oli saanud suureks, laskmast end nimetada vaarao tütre pojaks.

²⁵having chosen rather to be afflicted with the people of God, than to have sin`s pleasure for a season,

²⁵Ta eelistas pigem näha vaeva koos Jumala rahvaga kui üürikest aega nautida pattu,

²⁶greater wealth having reckoned the reproach of the Christ than the treasures in Egypt, for he did look to the recompense of reward;

²⁶sest Egiptuse aaretest suuremaks rikkuseks pidas ta teotust Kristuse pärast, sest ta tõstis oma silmad tasu poole.

²⁷by faith he left Egypt behind, not having been afraid of the wrath of the king, for, as seeing the Invisible One — he endured;

²⁷Usus jättis ta maha Egiptuse, kartmata kuninga raevu, sest otsekui nähes nähtamatut, püsis ta vaprana.

²⁸by faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of the blood, that He who is destroying the first-born might not touch them.

²⁸Usus toimetas ta paasat ja vere määrimist uksepiitadele, et hukkaja ei puudutaks nende esikpoegi.

²⁹By faith they did pass through the Red Sea as through dry land, which the Egyptians having received a trial of, were swallowed up;

²⁹Usus läbisid nad Punase mere otsekui kuiva maa, ja kui egiptlased püüdsid teha sedasama, siis nad uppusid.

³⁰by faith the walls of Jericho did fall, having been surrounded for seven days;

³⁰Usus langesid Jeeriko müürid, kui seitse päeva oli käidud nende ümber.

³¹by faith Rahab the harlot did not perish with those who disbelieved, having received the spies with peace.

³¹Usus ei hukkunud hoor Raahab koos sõnakuulmatutega, sest ta oli rahuga vastu võtnud salakuulajad.

³²And what shall I yet say? for the time will fail me recounting about Gideon, Barak also, and Samson, and Jephthah, David also, and Samuel, and the prophets,

³²Ja mida ma veel ütlen? Mul puudub aeg jutustada Gideonist, Baarakist, Simsonist, Jeftast, Taavetist, Saamuelist ning prohvetitest,

³³who through faith did subdue kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped mouths of lions,

³³kes usu läbi vallutasid kuningriike, mõistsid kohut, said kätte tõotusi, sulgesid lõvide suud,

³⁴quenched the power of fire, escaped the mouth of the sword, were made powerful out of infirmities, became strong in battle, caused to give way camps of the aliens.

³⁴kustutasid tule väe, pääsesid pakku mõõgatera eest, said nõtrusest tugevaks ja vägevaks sõjas, tõrjusid tagasi võõraste vaenuleere.

³⁵Women received by a rising again their dead, and others were tortured, not accepting the redemption, that a better rising again they might receive,

³⁵Naised said tagasi oma surnud ülestõusnutena. Ühed lasksid end piinata surnuks, võtmata vastu pakutud vabadust, selleks et saada paremat ülestõusmist.

³⁶and others of mockings and scourgings did receive trial, and yet of bonds and imprisonment;

³⁶Teised said kogeda pilkamist ja rooska ning ahelaid ja vanglat.

³⁷they were stoned, they were sawn asunder, they were tried; in the killing of the sword they died; they went about in sheepskins, in goatskins — being destitute, afflicted, injuriously treated,

³⁷Neid on kividega surnuks visatud, pooleks saetud, mõõgaga hukatud, nad on lamba- ja kitsenahas käinud maad mööda ringi, puuduses, viletsuses ja kurja kannatades.

³⁸of whom the world was not worthy; in deserts wandering, and [in] mountains, and [in] caves, and [in] the holes of the earth;

³⁸Nemad, keda maailm ei olnud väärt, hulkusid ringi kõrbetes ja mägedel ning varjasid end koobastes ja urgudes.

³⁹and these all, having been testified to through the faith, did not receive the promise,

³⁹Ja kuigi nad kõik said oma usu läbi tunnistuse, ei saanud nad kätte tõotust,

⁴⁰God for us something better having provided, that apart from us they might not be made perfect.

⁴⁰sest Jumal on midagi paremat näinud ette meile, nii et nemad ilma meieta ei saaks täiuslikuks.
