¹Now faith is [the] substantiating of things hoped for, [the] conviction of things not seen.

¹So si o pachamos? Si te zhanas kai so godi mangas avela, ai azhukeras pala leste, numa nashti dikhas les inker.

²For in [the power of] this the elders have obtained testimony.

²Le shave le Devleske kai traiisarde de but bersh palpale sas le pachamos.

³By faith we apprehend that the worlds were framed by [the] word of God, so that that which is seen should not take its origin from things which appear.

³Pala pachamos ame haliaras kai e lumia sas kerde pala E Vorba le Devleski. Le dieli kai dikhas nas kerde anda le dieli kai chi dichile.

⁴By faith Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained testimony of being righteous, God bearing testimony to his gifts, and by it, having died, he yet speaks.

⁴Pala pachamos o Abel kerdia vorta angla Del ai andia ek podarka, ek sakrifis ka Del kai sas mai mishto sar le Cainosko. Plachaiales O Del. O Del premisardia o Abel ai premisardia leski podarki. O Abel mulo, numa pala lesko pachamos wo del duma amende vi adies.

⁵By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him; for before [his] translation he has the testimony that he had pleased God.

⁵Pale pachamos o Enoch sas lino ando rhaio bi te merel. Strazo nas kotse ke O Del lino les. Le manush nashtisarde te arakhen les ke sas lino lendar. Mai anglal te kerdiolpe kadia diela O Del phendias, 'Plachaiama le Enochosa.'

⁶But without faith [it is] impossible to please [him]. For he that draws near to God must believe that he is, and [that] he is a rewarder of them who seek him out.

⁶O manush nashti plachal O Del te nas les pachamos, vari kon kai avel ka Del trobul te pachal kai wo si. Wo musai zhanel kai O Del del so si shinadia kodoleske kai roden leske.

⁷By faith, Noah, oracularly warned concerning things not yet seen, moved with fear, prepared an ark for the saving of his house; by which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which [is] according to faith.

⁷Pala pachamos o Noah, kana ashundia so phendia O Del pala terhara wo kerdia ek baro barzha pala leski vitsa darasa. O Del phendia leske so si te kerdiol. Lesko pachamos kerdia les te ashunel ka Del ai kerel so O Del phendia leske. Leski vitsa sas skepime katar e martia ke wo kerdia e barzha. Pala lesko pachamos, o Noah doshardia e lumia ai avilo vorta le Devlesa ke sas les pachamos ando Del.

⁸By faith Abraham, being called, obeyed to go out into the place which he was to receive for an inheritance, and went out, not knowing where he was going.

⁸Pala pachamos o Abraham kerdia sar manglia O Del kana O Del akhardia les te mekel lesko kher ai zhal dur ando aver them kai O Del shinadia to del les. Wo Meklia lesko kher bi te zhanel kay zhal.

⁹By faith he sojourned as a stranger in the land of promise as a foreign country, having dwelt in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with [him] of the same promise;

⁹Lesko pachamos ando Del zhutisardia les kana traiilas sar ek streino ando aver them kai O Del shinadia les. O Isak ai o Iakov premisarde so sas shinado ka Abraham. Savorhe traiinas ande le tseri andek than.

¹⁰for he waited for the city which has foundations, of which God is [the] artificer and constructor.

¹⁰Numa o Abraham azhukerelas pala o foro kai si les zurale fundania, kai O Del phenel sar te kerel les, ai wo kerel les.

¹¹By faith also Sarah herself received strength for [the] conception of seed, and [that] beyond a seasonable age; since she counted him faithful who promised.

¹¹Pala pachamos e Sarah sas la ek glata kana sas pra phuri te avela la ek glata. Sas la pachamos te pachal kai O Del kerela so wo shinadia.

¹²Wherefore also there have been born of one, and that of one become dead, even as the stars of heaven in multitude, and as the countless sand which [is] by the sea shore.

¹²O Abraham sas pra phuro te avela iek glata leste, numa katar o Abraham avili ek vitsa antrego, kai sas but miliwoia zhene sar le chererhaia ando cheri ai sar e chishai pe berego, nashti te jinas len ke kadia but si.

¹³All these died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them from afar off and embraced [them], and confessed that they were strangers and sojourners on the earth.

¹³Sa kadala zhene mule ai sas le pachamos ando Del. Numa chi premisarde so O Del shinadia lenge. Won dikhle angle karing ka le dieli O Del shinadia lenge ai raduime sas. Won zhanenas ke sas streinuria katse. Kadia phuv sas lengo kher.

¹⁴For they who say such things shew clearly that they seek [their] country.

¹⁴Le manush kai phenen kadala vorbi sikaven kai azhukeren pala aver them kai si pengo.

¹⁵And if they had called to mind that from whence they went out, they had had opportunity to have returned;

¹⁵Won chi gindin pa o them kai mekle, te gindinas pa o them, amborim mangenas te zhan palpale.

¹⁶but now they seek a better, that is, a heavenly; wherefore God is not ashamed of them, to be called their God; for he has prepared for them a city.

¹⁶Numa won mangenas o them kai si mai mishto. Ai O Del nai lazhal te avel akhardo lengo Del. Wo lashardia ek foro lenge.

¹⁷By faith Abraham, [when] tried, offered up Isaac, and he who had received to himself the promises offered up his only begotten [son],

¹⁷Pala pachamos o Abraham kana sas zumado, dia pesko shav o Isak sar ek podarka po altari ka Del. O Del shinadia ke wo sas te del o Abraham ek shav, ai inker o Abraham mangelas te kerel so manglia O Del lestar, ai del lesko shav ka Del.

¹⁸as to whom it had been said, In Isaac shall thy seed be called:

¹⁸O Del phendia ka Abraham, "Chi vitsa avela katar o Isak."

¹⁹counting that God [was] able to raise [him] even from among [the] dead, whence also he received him in a figure.

¹⁹O Abraham pachaiape kai O Del sai vazdelpe lesko shav palpale ka traio, ai sai phenas kai o Abraham premisardia les palpale katar e martia.

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

²⁰Pala pachamos O Isak swuntosardia o Iakov ai o Esau anda so avela mai angle.

²¹By faith Jacob [when] dying blessed each of the sons of Joseph, and worshipped on the top of his staff.

²¹Pala pachamos o Iakov kana merelas, phendia kai o lashimos avela po swako shav le Josefoske kana wo merelas. Kana rhugilaspe ka Del wo lia o rhai te inkerel les.

²²By faith Joseph [when] dying called to mind the going forth of the sons of Israel, and gave commandment concerning his bones.

²²Pala pachamos o Josef kana merelas, dia duma pa le Zhiduvuria ai kana sas te zhantar anda o them Egypt, ai phendia lenge te gropon lesko stato kai zhan.

²³By faith Moses, being born, was hid three months by his parents, because they saw the child beautiful; and they did not fear the injunction of the king.

²³Pala pachamos, o Moses kana sas biandilo, lesko dat ai leski dei garade les trin shon, ke won dikhle ke wo sas ek shukar glata; ai nas daran katar o amperato kana wo phendia te mudaren sa le tsinorhe shave.

²⁴By faith Moses, when he had become great, refused to be called son of Pharaoh's daughter;

²⁴Pala pachamos o Moses chi mangela te avel akhardo o shav le Pharoahoski shei kana barilo.

²⁵choosing rather to suffer affliction along with the people of God than to have [the] temporary pleasure of sin;

²⁵Wo alosardia te chinuil le narodosa le Devleske, de sar te plachal le dieli le bezexenge.

²⁶esteeming the reproach of the Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt, for he had respect to the recompense.

²⁶Wo gindisardia ke sas mai mishto te chinuil pala so shinadia O Kristo sar te lel sa o barimos le themesko, Egypt. Wo dikhelas po Del ai wo lela leski pochin katar O Del.

²⁷By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he persevered, as seeing him who is invisible.

²⁷Pala pachamos o Moses gelotar andai Egypt. Wo nas daral katar o amperato kai sas xoliariko. O Moses kerdia vorta angla Del, ai dikhelas O Del angle leste.

²⁸By faith he celebrated the passover and the sprinkling of the blood, that the destroyer of the firstborn might not touch them.

²⁸Pala pachamos o Moses garadia o Baro Dies le Zhidovongo ai te mudaren ek bakro sar O Del phendia lenge, ai te thon o rat opral le vudara lenge khera, antunchi o angelo le martiako nashtisardia te mudarel o pervo shav kai sas biandilo ando swako kher.

²⁹By faith they passed through the Red sea as through dry land; of which the Egyptians having made trial were swallowed up.

²⁹Pala pachamos le Zhiduvuria nakhle inchal e Maria Loli sar sas e phuv shuki. Kana le manush le Egyptanoske zumade te nakhen inchal, mudarde sas le paiesa.

³⁰By faith the walls of Jericho fell, having been encircled for seven days.

³⁰Pala pachamos le ziduria le forosko Jericho pele tele palal le Zhiduvuria phirade kruglom o foro pala efta diesa.

³¹By faith Rahab the harlot did not perish along with the unbelieving, having received the spies in peace.

³¹Pala pachamos e Rahab ek kurvia nas mudardia lensa kai chi kerde sar mangel O Del. Woi zhutisardia le manush kai avile chordanes te dikhen o them.

³²And what more do I say? For the time would fail me telling of Gideon, and Barak, and Samson, and Jephthah, and David and Samuel, and of the prophets:

³²So mai phenav? Nas dosta vriama te phenav pa Gideon, ai o Barak, ai o Samson, ai o Jephthah, ai o David, ai o Samuel, ai sa le profeturia.

³³who by faith overcame kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped lions' mouths,

³³Sas pala lengo pachamos kai nirisarde le marimata andel aver thema. Won poronchinas mishto, premisarde so O Del shinadia lenge, won phandade le muia le lioneske,

³⁴quenched [the] power of fire, escaped [the] edge of the sword, became strong out of weakness, became mighty in war, made [the] armies of strangers give way.

³⁴ai aterdile e iag kai phabolas, won nashle andal sabia ai nas mudarde, kana won sas naswale vai kovle won pele sas kerde zurale. Zurale sas ando marimos. Won kerde le manush kai marenas andal aver thema te nashen khere.

³⁵Women received their dead again by resurrection; and others were tortured, not having accepted deliverance, that they might get a better resurrection;

³⁵Pala pachamos uni zhuvlia premisarde lenge mule palpale ka traio. Uni alosarde te aven marde de sar te zhan ivia, ke chi mangle te zhan dur katar O Del. Anda kodia, won avena vazdine ka o traio kai si mai mishto.

³⁶and others underwent trial of mockings and scourgings, yea, and of bonds and imprisonment.

³⁶Le manus marenas mui lendar, ai marde uni anda lende, uni sas thodine ande temnitsa ai uni sas phandade le lantsonsa.

³⁷They were stoned, were sawn asunder, were tempted, died by the death of the sword; they went about in sheepskins, in goatskins, destitute, afflicted, evil treated,

³⁷Uni sas mudarde le baxensa. Uni sas shinde ande kotora. Won sas zumade. Uni sas mudarde le sabiensa. Won line pe lende le morchi katar le bakre ai buzhne ai nai le kanchi, won sas bokhale ai naswale, nas dosta lenge, won phiravenaspe ande pusta ai pel plaia, garade andel gropuria. Won sas pra lashe pala kadia lumia.

³⁸(of whom the world was not worthy,) wandering in deserts and mountains, and [in] dens and caverns of the earth.

³⁹Sas pala lengo pachamos ke O Del sas plachaiales lensa. Numa chi premisarde so Del shinadia lenge.

³⁹And these all, having obtained witness through faith, did not receive the promise,

⁴⁰O Del si les vari so mai mishto amenge. Kodola manush nashti kerdile vorta bi amensa.

⁴⁰God having foreseen some better thing for us, that they should not be made perfect without us.
