¹To ra'uli' pepangala', batua-na: napa to tasarumaka hi Alata'ala, taparasaya bate madupa' mpai'. Pepangala', batua-na: nau' ko'ia tahiloi lence-na to tapopea, monoa' hi rala nono-ta karia-na mpai'.

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

²Ngkai pepangala' -ra, tauna tempo owi napokagoe' Alata'ala.

²For therein the elders had witness borne to them.

³Ngkai pepangala' -ta, ta'inca langi' pai' dunia' napajadi' Alata'ala hante lolita-na-wadi. Jadi', hawe'ea to tahilo, nababehi ngkai to uma kahiloa.

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.

⁴Ngkai pepangala' -na Habel, pai' -i mpotonu pepue' -na hi Alata'ala to meliu kalompe' -na ngkai pepue' to natonu Kain tuaka-na. Ta'inca kamepangala' -na, apa' Alata'ala goe' mpotarima pepue' -na, pai' ngkai pepangala' -na toe, Alata'ala mpo'uli' kamonoa' -na. Mate-imi Habel, aga ma'ala-mi ta'uli' mololita-i-pidi duu' tempo tohe'i.

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.

⁵Ngkai pepangala' -na Henokh, uma-i-hana mate, ra'ongko' tuwu' -tuwu' -i ngkai dunia' toi. Uma hema to mporua' woto-na, apa' Alata'ala mpo'ongko' -i ngkai dunia' toi. Hi rala Buku Tomoroli' te'uki': kako'ia-na Henokh ra'ongko', Alata'ala mpokagoe' -i.

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:

⁶Jadi' monoto-mi ta'inca karia pepangala' -na, apa' uma ria tauna to napokagoe' Alata'ala ane uma-ra mepangala'. Apa' tauna to dota mpomohui' Alata'ala kana mparasaya hewa toi: Alata'ala bate ria, pai' bate nahiwili kehi butu dua tauna to mpu'u-mpu'u mpopali' -i.

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.

⁷Ngkai pepangala' -na Nuh, pai' -i mengkoru hi hawa' Alata'ala. Alata'ala mpo'uli' -ki karia-na mpai' ue mowo' to mpoliu' dunia'. Jadi', nau' ko'ia nahiloi kadupa' -na, natuku' -mi hawa' Alata'ala, pai' nababehi sakaya to bohe, bona hi'a hante tobine-na pai' ana' -ana' -na uma mate matala. Ngkai pepangala' -na, hawe'ea tauna hi dunia' rahuku', aga hi'a-hana, monoa' -i hi poncilo Alata'ala.

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.

⁸Ngkai pepangala' -na Abraham, natuku' hawa' Alata'ala. Alata'ala mpokio' -i pai' nahubui-i hilou hi ngata to molaa, na'uli' -ki: "Ngata toe mpai' ria, jadi' bagia-nu pai' muli-muli-nu." Jadi', nau' uma na'incai hiapa kahilouaa-na, pe'ongko' -nami hilou ntuku' hawa' Alata'ala.

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.

⁹Karata-na hi ngata toe, napangala' oa' janci Alata'ala to mpo'uli' katana' -na toe mpai' jadi' bagia-na pai' bagia muli-na. Alata'ala mojanci hewa toe wo'o hi ana' Abraham to rahanga' Ishak pai' kumpu-na to rahanga' Yakub. Tapi' nau' tana' toe bagia-ra moto ntuku' janci Alata'ala, mo'oha' -ra hewa torata-wadi hi tana' toe. Mo'oha' -ra hi rala kemah.

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:

¹⁰Abraham mo'oha' hi rala kemah, apa' napopea-pidi ngata to moroho parawatu-na, to napajadi' pai' to nawangu Alata'ala moto.

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

¹¹Ngkai pepangala' -ra, nau' tu'a-imi Abraham, pai' Sara lalo wo'o-i, mporata moto-ra karohoa mporata ana'. Toe jadi' apa' monoto hi nono Abraham kanapadupa' -na moto mpai' Alata'ala janci-na.

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

¹²Nto'u toe, hewa to mate-mi woto-na Abraham apa' tu'a-imi. Aga nau' wae, apa' lawi' ria-hana pepangala' -na, ngkai Abraham toe-imi mehupa' wori' muli-na, to uma tebila' kadea-ra, hewa kawori' betue' hi langi', pai' hewa kawori' wo'one hi wiwi' tahi'.

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.

¹³Hawe'ea tauna toera tida mepangala' duu' hi kamatea-ra, ko'ia raratai napa to najanci-raka Alata'ala. Ma'ala-mi ta'uli': rahilo ngkawao-pidi kadupa' -na. Ra'inca moto kamahae-na-pidi kadupa' -na, aga nau' wae uma morara' nono-ra hi pojanci Alata'ala. Goe' moto-ra mpopea kadupa' -na, pai' ra'uli': katuwu' -ra hi dunia' toi hewa torata to mo'oha' hampai' -wadi.

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.

¹⁴Tauna to mpo'uli' hewa toe, monoto-mi kampopali' -ra ngata to rakatidai.

¹⁴For they that say such things make it manifest that they are seeking after a country of their own.

¹⁵Bela ngata to rapalahii-mi wengi to rakalentorai. Apa' ane ke ngata toe to rakalentorai, ria moto loga-ra nculii' hi ngata toe.

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

¹⁶Bo ngata to rakalentorai toe, ngata to meliu kalompe' -na, toe-mi ngata suruga. Toe pai' Alata'ala uma me'ea' rakahangai' Pue' -ra, apa' naporodo-miraka hi suruga.

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.

¹⁸Ngkai pepangala' -na Abraham, pai' -i mpotonu Ishak ana' -na naponcawa pepue' -na hi Alata'ala, nto'u Alata'ala mponciloi pepangala' -na. Lomo' -na Alata'ala mpo'uli' -ki hewa toi: "Ngkai ana' -nu tetu-mi mpai', mporata-ko muli to wori', hewa to kujanci-kokoe." Aga nau' wae, sadia moto-i Abraham mpotonu ana' -na to hadudua toe bona rasumale'.

¹⁷By faith Abraham, being tried, offered up Isaac: yea, he that had gladly received the promises was offering up his only begotten [son];

¹⁹Apa' na'uli' Abraham, mobaraka' moto-i Alata'ala mpotuwu' nculii' Ishak ngkai kamatea-na. Jadi', ma'ala-mi ta'uli': narata nculii' moto ana' -na ngkai kamatea.

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

²⁰Ngkai pepangala' -na Ishak, pai' -i mpogane' Yakub pai' Esau, pai' -i mpolowa napa to jadi' hi eo mpeno-na.

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

²¹Ngkai pepangala' -na Yakub, kaneo' -na mate-imi nagane' -ramo ana' Yusuf to rodua, pai' -i mponyompa Alata'ala bula-na mpetituku woo' -na hi wuntu lua' -na.

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

²²Ngkai pepangala' -na Yusuf, nto'u neo' modupe' -mi inoha' -na, nalowa ami' palai-ra mpai' muli Israel ngkai tana' Mesir. Pai' -i mo'iwili na'uli': "Ane malai-pokoi mpai' ngkai Mesir, wuku-ku kana nikeni."

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

²³Ngkai pepangala' -ra totu'a-na Musa, pai' -ra mpowuni-i tolu mula kahae-na ngkai kaputu-na. Rahilo kasubo' -na, pai' uma-ra me'eka' mpotiboki hawa' raja Mesir.

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

²⁴Ngkai pepangala' -na Musa, bohe-imi, oja' -i rakahangai' kumpu raja Mesir.

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.

²⁵Apa' uma-i dota tuwu' goe' rala jeko' to hangkale'liu-wadi, na'agi-pi mporata kaparia hangkaa-ngkania hante ntodea Alata'ala.

²⁴By faith Moses, when he was grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter;

²⁶Oja' -i mporata ka'uaa' hi tana' Mesir, na'agi-pi raruge' sabana pepangala' -na hi Magau' Topetolo' to rata ngkabokoa'. Apa' Musa ntora mpoimata-mata hiwili pepangala' -na to narata mpai' hi eo mpeno-na.

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

²⁷Ngkai pepangala' -na, napalahii tana' Mesir, uma-i mpoka'eka' roe raja Mesir. Ntaha-i hi rala kasusaa', apa' mpohilo-imi-hana Alata'ala to uma kahiloa.

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

²⁸Ngkai pepangala' -na, nababehi ada eo bohe Paskah, nahubui-ra to Yahudi mpohiwe raa' hi wobo' tomi-ra, bona ane liu mpai' mala'eka to mepatehi, ana' ulumua' -ra uma rapohipatehii hante ana' ulumua' -ra to Mesir.

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

²⁹Ngkai pepangala' -ra to Yahudi owi, pai' -ra mpodongka' Tahi' Molei hewa to momako' hi role-na moto-ra-wadi. Hiaa' to Mesir-hana, mate matala-ramo hi rala tahi' bula-ra medongka' -pidi.

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

³⁰Ngkai pepangala' -ra, ratololiki bente ngata Yerikho rala-na pitu eo, duu' -na motongka-mi bente-ra.

²⁹By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians assaying to do were swallowed up.

³¹Ngkai pepangala' -na Rahab, uma-i rapatehi hangkaa-ngkania hante hingka ngata-na, to uma-ra-rana mengkoru hi Alata'ala. Rahab toei, tobine to uma tumotoa gau' -na. Aga nto'u-na ba hangkuja dua-ra tantara to Yahudi hilou mpokamata ngata Yerikho, napopehani-ra hi tomi-na, pai' natulungi-ra.

³⁰By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they had been compassed about for seven days.

³²Ke wori' -pidi anu ku'uli', aga uma-pi wori' loga-ku. Hiaa' bo ko'ia kututura Gideon, Barak, Simson, Yefta, Daud, Samuel pai' nabi-nabi ntani' -na.

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

³³Ngkai pepangala' -ra pai' alaa-na mpopengkoru-ra raja-raja, moparenta-ra hante kanoaa', mporata-ra to najanci-raka Alata'ala, mpo'ompo-ra nganga singa,

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:

³⁴uma-ra mate hi rala apu to wewo', mpetiboi' -ra tauna to ngasa' mpatehi-ra, lente-ra, aga jadi' moroho moto-ra, bia' -ra hi rala panga'ea, mpodagi-ra tantara-tantara bali'.

³³who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,

³⁵Ngkai pepangala' -ra, tobine-tobine mporata nculii' ana' -ra to mate-mi, rapotuwu' nculii' -raka. Aga ria wo'o-ra to rasesa' sabana pepangala' -ra duu' -ra mate, uma-ra dota rabahaka, apa' doko' rapotuwu' nculii' -ra pai' mporata katuwua' to meliu kalompe' -na.

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.

³⁶Ria-ra to rapopo'ore' pai' raweba', ria wo'o-ra to rahoo' pai' ratarungku'.

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

³⁷Ria-ra to rapana' hante watu duu' -ra mate, ria to rapua' hante garagaji', ria to rasumale'. Ria-ra to mpe'ahii' lia katuwu' -ra, pohea-ra muntu' kuliba bima pai' kuliba kebe' -wadi. Rabalinai' -ra pai' rasesa' -ra.

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

³⁸Metibo' -ra hilou hi papada to wao' pai' hi bulu' -na, mo'oha' -ra hi horoa watu. Hiaa' kakoo-kono-na, dunia' toi bela po'ohaa' to natao hi hira'.

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

³⁹Hawe'ea tauna toera napokagoe' Alata'ala sabana pepangala' -ra. Tapi' ko'ia raratai poko to najanci-raka.

³⁸(of whom the world was not worthy), wandering in deserts and mountains and caves, and the holes of the earth.

⁴⁰Ko'ia raratai, apa' Alata'ala mporodo-taka anu to meliu kalompe' -na, bona hinto'ua hante kita' mpai', pai' lako' rarata-di-rawo kalompea' to uma ria kakuraa' -na.

³⁹And these all, having had witness borne to them through their faith, received not the promise,

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