¹Now faith is assurance of [things] hoped for, a conviction of things not seen.

¹Usk on loodetava tõelisus, nähtamatute asjade tõendus.

²For therein the elders had witness borne to them.

²Selle kohta on ju esivanemad saanud tunnistuse.

³By faith we understand that the worlds have been framed by the word of God, so that what is seen hath not been made out of things which appear.

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

⁴By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he had witness borne to him that he was righteous, God bearing witness in respect of his gifts: and through it he being dead yet speaketh.

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 that he should not see death; and he was not found, because God translated him: for he hath had witness borne to him that before his translation he had been well-pleasing unto God:

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 without faith it is impossible to be well-pleasing [unto him]; for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and [that] he is a rewarder of them that seek after him.

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, being warned [of God] concerning things not seen as yet, moved with godly fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; through which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith.

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, when he was called, obeyed to go out unto a place which he was to receive for an inheritance; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.

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 became a sojourner 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:

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

¹⁰for he looked for the city which hath the foundations, whose builder and maker is God.

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

¹¹By faith even Sarah herself received power to conceive seed when she was past age, since she counted him faithful who had promised:

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

¹²wherefore also there sprang of one, and him as good as dead, [so many] as the stars of heaven in multitude, and as the sand, which is by the sea-shore, 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.

¹³These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them and greeted them from afar, and having confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on 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 they that say such things make it manifest that they are seeking after a country of their own.

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

¹⁵And if indeed they had been mindful of that [country] from which they went out, they would have had opportunity to return.

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

¹⁶But now they desire a better [country], that is, a heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed of them, to be called their God; for he hath prepared 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, being tried, offered up Isaac: yea, he that had gladly received the promises was offering up his only begotten [son];

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

¹⁸even he to whom it was said, In Isaac shall thy seed be called:

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

¹⁹accounting that God [is] able to raise up, even from the dead; from whence he did also in a figure receive him back.

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

²⁰By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau, even concerning things to come.

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

²¹By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph; and worshipped, [leaning] upon the top of his staff.

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

²²By faith Joseph, when his end was nigh, made mention of the departure of the children of Israel; and gave commandment concerning his bones.

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

²³By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months by his parents, because they saw he was a goodly child; and they were not afraid of the king's commandment.

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, when he was grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter;

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

²⁵choosing rather to share ill treatment with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;

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

²⁶accounting the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt: for he looked unto the recompense of reward.

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

²⁷By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.

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 the destroyer of the firstborn should not touch them.

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

²⁹By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians assaying to do 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 fell down, after they had been compassed about for seven days.

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

³¹By faith Rahab the harlot perished not with them that were disobedient, having received the spies with peace.

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

³²And what shall I more say? for the time will fail me if I tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah; of David 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 subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,

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

³⁴quenched the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, from weakness were made strong, waxed mighty in war, turned to flight armies of aliens.

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

³⁵Women received their dead by a resurrection: and others were tortured, not accepting their deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection:

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

³⁶and others had trial of mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment:

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

³⁷they were stoned, they were sawn asunder, they were tempted, they were slain with the sword: they went about in sheepskins, in goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, ill-treated

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

³⁸(of whom the world was not worthy), wandering in deserts and mountains and caves, and 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 had witness borne to them through their faith, received not the promise,

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

⁴⁰God having provided some better thing concerning us, that apart from us they should not be made perfect.

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