¹Kaj la fido estas realigo de esperatajxoj, provado de aferoj ne vidataj.

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

²CXar per tio la antikvuloj ricevis bonan ateston.

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

³Per la fido ni komprenas, ke la mondagxoj estas kreitaj per vorto de Dio, tiel ke tio, kio estas vidata, ne estas farita el aperantajxoj.

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.

⁶kaj sen fido neeble estas placxi al Li; cxar necese estas, ke tiu, kiu alvenas al Dio, kredu, ke Li ekzistas, kaj ke Li farigxas rekompencanto al tiuj, kiuj Lin diligente sercxas.

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.

⁷Per la fido Noa, avertite pri la ankoraux ne viditaj aferoj, kun pia timo konstruis arkeon por la savado de sia domo; per kio li kondamnis la mondon, kaj farigxis heredanto de la justeco laux fido.

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

¹¹Per la fido ankaux Sara mem ricevis kapablon gravedigxi, ecx post la ordinara agxo, cxar sxi kredis la Promesinton fidela;

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.

¹²sekve ankaux el unu, kaj tiu kvazaux malviva, levigxis tiel multaj, kiel la steloj de la cxielo lauxnombre, kaj kiel la sablo, kiu estas sur la bordo de la maro, nekalkulebla.

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.

¹³CXiuj tiuj mortis en fido, ne ricevinte la promesojn, sed vidinte kaj salutinte ilin de malproksime, kaj konfesinte, ke ili estas fremduloj kaj migrantoj sur la tero.

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.

¹⁴CXar tiuj, kiuj parolas tiamaniere, konstatas, ke patrolandon ili sercxas.

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

¹⁵Kaj se ili tenadus en memoro tiun landon, el kiu ili eliris, ili havus ian okazon por reiri.

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

¹⁶Sed nun pli bonan landon ili celas, tio estas, cxielan; tial Dio ne hontas pri ili, esti nomata ilia Dio; cxar Li por ili pretigis urbon.

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.

¹⁷Per la fido Abraham, provate, oferis Isaakon; tiu, kiu akceptis la promesojn, ekoferis ja sian solenaskiton;

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

¹⁸nome tiu, al kiu estis dirite:Per Isaak oni nomos vian idaron;

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

¹⁹pensante, ke Dio povas relevi lin ecx el la mortintoj; el kie ankaux li en similajxo lin retrovis.

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

²⁶taksante la riprocxon de Kristo pligranda ricxeco ol la trezoroj Egiptaj, cxar li rigardis al la estonta rekompenco.

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

³³kiuj pere de fido venkis regnojn, plenumis justecon, atingis promesojn, fermis la busxojn de leonoj,

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

³⁴estingis la forton de fajro, forsavigxis de la trancxrando de glavo, el malforteco refortigxis, farigxis potencaj en militado, forkurigis armeojn de fremduloj.
