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

¹ܐܝܬܝܗ ܕܝܢ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܦܝܤܐ ܥܠ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܐܝܬܝܗܝܢ ܒܤܒܪܐ ܐܝܟ ܗܘ ܕܗܘܝ ܠܗܝܢ ܒܤܘܥܪܢܐ ܘܓܠܝܢܐ ܕܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܠܐ ܡܬܚܙܝܢ ܀

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

²ܘܒܗܕܐ ܗܘܬ ܤܗܕܘܬܐ ܥܠ ܩܫܝܫܐ ܀

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.

³ܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܓܝܪ ܡܤܬܟܠܝܢܢ ܕܐܬܬܩܢܘ ܥܠܡܐ ܒܡܠܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܘܗܠܝܢ ܕܡܬܚܙܝܢ ܗܘܝ ܡܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܠܐ ܡܬܚܙܝܢ ܀

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.

⁴ܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܩܪܒ ܗܒܝܠ ܕܒܚܬܐ ܕܡܝܬܪܐ ܛܒ ܡܢ ܕܩܐܝܢ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܘܡܛܠܬܗ ܗܘܬ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܤܗܕܘܬܐ ܕܟܐܢܐ ܗܘ ܘܤܗܕ ܥܠ ܩܘܪܒܢܗ ܐܠܗܐ ܘܡܛܠܬܗ ܐܦ ܟܕ ܡܝܝܬ ܡܡܠܠ ܀

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.

⁵ܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܐܫܬܢܝ ܚܢܘܟ ܘܡܘܬܐ ܠܐ ܛܥܡ ܘܠܐ ܐܫܬܟܚ ܡܛܠ ܕܫܢܝܗ ܐܠܗܐ ܡܢ ܩܕܡ ܕܢܫܢܝܘܗܝ ܓܝܪ ܗܘܬ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܤܗܕܘܬܐ ܕܫܦܪ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܀

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.

⁶ܕܠܐ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܕܝܢ ܠܐ ܐܢܫ ܡܫܟܚ ܕܢܫܦܪ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܚܝܒ ܗܘ ܓܝܪ ܡܢ ܕܡܬܩܪܒ ܠܘܬ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܢܗܝܡܢ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܘܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܒܥܝܢ ܠܗ ܗܘܐ ܦܪܘܥܐ ܀

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.

⁷ܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܢܘܚ ܟܕ ܐܬܡܠܠ ܥܡܗ ܥܠ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܠܐ ܡܬܚܙܝܢ ܗܘܝ ܕܚܠ ܘܥܒܕ ܠܗ ܩܒܘܬܐ ܠܚܝܐ ܕܒܢܝ ܒܝܬܗ ܕܒܗ ܚܝܒܗ ܠܥܠܡܐ ܘܗܘܐ ܝܪܬܐ ܕܟܐܢܘܬܐ ܕܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܀

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.

⁸ܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܐܒܪܗܡ ܟܕ ܐܬܩܪܝ ܐܫܬܡܥ ܕܢܦܘܩ ܠܐܬܪܐ ܗܘ ܕܥܬܝܕ ܗܘܐ ܕܢܤܒ ܠܝܪܬܘܬܐ ܘܢܦܩ ܟܕ ܠܐ ܝܕܥ ܗܘܐ ܠܐܝܟܐ ܐܙܠ ܀

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;

⁹ܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܗܘܐ ܬܘܬܒܐ ܒܐܪܥܐ ܗܝ ܕܐܬܡܠܟܬ ܠܗ ܐܝܟ ܕܒܢܘܟܪܝܬܐ ܘܒܡܫܟܢܐ ܥܡܪ ܥܡ ܐܝܤܚܩ ܘܝܥܩܘܒ ܒܢܝ ܝܪܬܘܬܐ ܕܝܠܗ ܕܡܘܠܟܢܐ ܀

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

¹⁰ܡܤܟܐ ܗܘܐ ܓܝܪ ܠܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܕܫܬܐܤܬܐ ܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܕܐܘܡܢܗ ܘܥܒܘܕܗ ܐܠܗܐ ܗܘ ܀

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.

¹¹ܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܐܦ ܤܪܐ ܕܥܩܪܬܐ ܗܘܬ ܢܤܒܬ ܚܝܠܐ ܕܬܩܒܠ ܙܪܥܐ ܘܕܠܐ ܒܙܒܢܐ ܕܫܢܝܗ ܝܠܕܬ ܥܠ ܕܐܫܪܬ ܕܡܗܝܡܢ ܗܘ ܗܘ ܕܡܠܟ ܠܗ ܀

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.

¹²ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܡܢ ܚܕ ܕܒܛܠ ܒܤܝܒܘܬܐ ܐܬܝܠܕܘ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܐܝܟ ܟܘܟܒܐ ܕܒܫܡܝܐ ܘܐܝܟ ܚܠܐ ܕܥܠ ܤܦܬܗ ܕܝܡܐ ܕܡܢܝܢ ܠܝܬ ܠܗ ܀

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.

¹³ܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܡܝܬܘ ܗܠܝܢ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܢܤܒܘ ܡܘܠܟܢܗܘܢ ܐܠܐ ܡܢ ܪܘܚܩܐ ܚܙܐܘܗܝ ܘܚܕܝܘ ܒܗ ܘܐܘܕܝܘ ܕܐܟܤܢܝܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܬܘܬܒܐ ܒܐܪܥܐ ܀

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

¹⁴ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܝܢ ܕܗܠܝܢ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܡܚܘܝܢ ܕܠܡܕܝܢܬܗܘܢ ܒܥܝܢ ܀

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

¹⁵ܘܐܠܘ ܠܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܗܝ ܕܢܦܩܘ ܡܢܗ ܒܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܙܒܢܐ ܕܬܘܒ ܢܗܦܟܘܢ ܢܐܙܠܘܢ ܠܗ ܀

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.

¹⁶ܗܫܐ ܕܝܢ ܝܕܝܥܐ ܕܠܕܛܒܐ ܡܢܗ ܪܓܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܗܝ ܕܐܝܬܝܗ ܒܫܡܝܐ ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܠܐ ܢܟܦ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܐܠܗܗܘܢ ܢܬܩܪܐ ܛܝܒ ܠܗܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܀

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

¹⁷ܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܩܪܒ ܐܒܪܗܡ ܠܐܝܤܚܩ ܒܢܤܝܘܢܗ ܘܠܝܚܝܕܗ ܐܤܩ ܠܡܕܒܚܐ ܠܗܘ ܕܩܒܠ ܗܘܐ ܒܡܘܠܟܢܐ ܀

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

¹⁸ܐܬܐܡܪ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܓܝܪ ܕܒܐܝܤܚܩ ܢܬܩܪܐ ܠܟ ܙܪܥܐ ܀

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

¹⁹ܘܐܬܪܥܝ ܗܘܐ ܒܢܦܫܗ ܕܡܛܝܐ ܒܐܝܕܘܗܝ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܐܦ ܡܢ ܡܝܬܐ ܠܡܩܡܘ ܘܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܒܡܬܠܐ ܐܬܝܗܒ ܠܗ ܀

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

²⁰ܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܕܡܕܡ ܕܥܬܝܕ ܗܘܐ ܒܪܟ ܐܝܤܚܩ ܠܝܥܩܘܒ ܘܠܥܤܘ ܀

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

²¹ܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܟܕ ܡܐܬ ܝܥܩܘܒ ܒܪܟ ܠܟܠ ܚܕ ܚܕ ܡܢ ܒܢܘܗܝ ܕܝܘܤܦ ܘܤܓܕ ܥܠ ܪܝܫ ܚܘܛܪܗ ܀

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

²²ܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܝܘܤܦ ܟܕ ܡܐܬ ܥܗܕ ܠܡܦܩܬܐ ܕܒܢܝ ܐܝܤܪܝܠ ܘܦܩܕ ܥܠ ܓܪܡܘܗܝ ܀

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.

²³ܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܐܒܗܘܗܝ ܕܡܘܫܐ ܛܫܝܘܗܝ ܟܕ ܐܬܝܠܕ ܝܪܚܐ ܬܠܬܐ ܕܚܙܘ ܕܫܦܝܪ ܗܘܐ ܛܠܝܐ ܘܠܐ ܕܚܠܘ ܡܢ ܦܘܩܕܢܐ ܕܡܠܟܐ ܀

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

²⁴ܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܡܘܫܐ ܟܕ ܗܘܐ ܓܒܪܐ ܟܦܪ ܕܠܐ ܢܬܩܪܐ ܒܪܐ ܠܒܪܬܗ ܕܦܪܥܘܢ ܀

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

²⁵ܘܓܒܐ ܠܗ ܕܒܐܘܠܨܢܐ ܥܡ ܥܡܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܘܠܐ ܕܙܒܢ ܙܥܘܪ ܢܬܒܤܡ ܒܚܛܝܬܐ ܀

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

²⁶ܘܐܬܪܥܝ ܕܡܝܬܪ ܗܘ ܥܘܬܪܐ ܕܚܤܕܗ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ ܛܒ ܡܢ ܤܝܡܬܗ ܕܡܨܪܝܢ ܚܐܪ ܗܘܐ ܓܝܪ ܒܦܘܪܥܢ ܐܓܪܐ ܀

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

²⁷ܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܫܒܩܗ ܠܡܨܪܝܢ ܘܠܐ ܕܚܠ ܡܢ ܚܡܬܗ ܕܡܠܟܐ ܘܤܝܒܪ ܐܝܟ ܗܘ ܕܚܙܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܕܠܐ ܡܬܚܙܐ ܀

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

²⁸ܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܥܒܕ ܦܨܚܐ ܘܪܤܤ ܕܡܐ ܕܠܐ ܢܬܩܪܒ ܠܗܘܢ ܗܘ ܕܡܚܒܠ ܗܘܐ ܒܘܟܪܐ ܀

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

²⁹ܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܥܒܪܘ ܝܡܐ ܕܤܘܦ ܐܝܟ ܕܥܠ ܐܪܥܐ ܝܒܝܫܬܐ ܘܒܗ ܐܬܒܠܥܘ ܡܨܪܝܐ ܟܕ ܐܡܪܚܘ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܀

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

³⁰ܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܫܘܪܝܗ ܕܐܝܪܝܚܘ ܢܦܠܘ ܡܢ ܕܐܬܟܪܟܘ ܫܒܥܐ ܝܘܡܝܢ ܀

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

³¹ܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܪܚܒ ܙܢܝܬܐ ܠܐ ܐܒܕܬ ܥܡ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܐܫܬܡܥܘ ܕܩܒܠܬ ܠܓܫܘܫܐ ܒܫܠܡܐ ܀

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:

³²ܘܡܢܐ ܬܘܒ ܐܡܪ ܙܥܘܪ ܗܘ ܠܝ ܓܝܪ ܙܒܢܐ ܕܐܫܬܥܐ ܥܠ ܓܕܥܘܢ ܘܥܠ ܒܪܩ ܘܥܠ ܫܡܫܘܢ ܘܥܠ ܢܦܬܚ ܘܥܠ ܕܘܝܕ ܘܥܠ ܫܡܘܐܝܠ ܘܥܠ ܫܪܟܐ ܕܢܒܝܐ ܀

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

³³ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܙܟܘ ܠܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܘܦܠܚܘ ܟܐܢܘܬܐ ܘܩܒܠܘ ܡܘܠܟܢܐ ܘܤܟܪܘ ܦܘܡܐ ܕܐܪܝܘܬܐ ܀

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.

³⁴ܘܕܥܟܘ ܚܝܠܐ ܕܢܘܪܐ ܘܐܬܦܨܝܘ ܡܢ ܦܘܡܐ ܕܤܝܦܐ ܘܐܬܚܝܠܘ ܡܢ ܟܘܪܗܢܐ ܘܗܘܘ ܚܝܠܬܢܐ ܒܩܪܒܐ ܘܤܚܦܘ ܡܫܪܝܬܐ ܕܒܥܠܕܒܒܐ ܀

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

³⁵ܘܝܗܒܘ ܠܢܫܐ ܒܢܝܗܝܢ ܡܢ ܩܝܡܬܐ ܕܡܝܬܐ ܘܐܚܪܢܐ ܒܫܢܕܐ ܡܝܬܘ ܘܠܐ ܤܟܝܘ ܠܡܬܦܨܝܘ ܕܩܝܡܬܐ ܡܝܬܪܬܐ ܬܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܀

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

³⁶ܐܚܪܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܠܒܙܚܐ ܘܠܢܓܕܐ ܥܠܘ ܐܚܪܢܐ ܠܐܤܘܪܐ ܘܠܚܒܘܫܝܐ ܐܫܬܠܡܘ ܀

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,

³⁷ܐܚܪܢܐ ܐܬܪܓܡܘ ܐܚܪܢܐ ܐܬܢܤܪܘ ܐܚܪܢܐ ܒܦܘܡܐ ܕܤܝܦܐ ܡܝܬܘ ܐܚܪܢܐ ܐܬܟܪܟܘ ܟܕ ܠܒܝܫܝܢ ܡܫܟܐ ܕܐܡܪܐ ܘܕܥܙܐ ܘܤܢܝܩܝܢ ܘܐܠܝܨܝܢ ܘܡܛܪܦܝܢ ܀

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

³⁸ܐܢܫܐ ܕܠܐ ܫܘܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܥܠܡܐ ܘܗܘܘ ܐܝܟ ܛܥܝܐ ܒܚܘܪܒܐ ܘܒܛܘܪܐ ܘܒܡܥܪܐ ܘܒܦܥܪܝܗ ܕܐܪܥܐ ܀

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

³⁹ܘܗܠܝܢ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܕܗܘܬ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܤܗܕܘܬܐ ܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܗܘܢ ܠܐ ܩܒܠܘ ܡܘܠܟܢܐ ܀

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