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, proof of things not seen.

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

²For by this, the elders obtained testimony.

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 universe has been framed by the word of God, so that what is seen has not been made out of things which are visible.

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 to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he had testimony given to him that he was righteous, God testifying with respect to his gifts; and through it he, being dead, still speaks.

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 taken away, so that he wouldn’t see death, and he was not found, because God translated him. For he has had testimony given to him that before his translation he had been well pleasing to 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.

⁶Without faith it is impossible to be well pleasing to him, for he who comes to God must believe that he exists, and that he is a rewarder of those who seek 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 about things not yet seen, moved with godly fear, or, reverence prepared a ship for 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 to the place which he was to receive for an inheritance. He went out, not knowing where 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 lived as an alien 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 has 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, and she bore a child 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'.

¹²Therefore as many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as innumerable as the sand which is by the sea shore, were fathered by one man, and him as good as dead.

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 TR adds “and being convinced of” them and embraced 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 those who say such things make it clear that they are seeking 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.

¹⁵If indeed they had been thinking of that country from which they went out, they would have had enough time 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 one. Therefore God is not ashamed of them, to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them.

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 tested, offered up Isaac. Yes, he who had gladly received the promises was offering up his one and only 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 will your seed be called”; Genesis 21:12

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

¹⁹concluding that God is able to raise up even from the dead. Figuratively speaking, he also did receive him back from the dead.

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 worshiped, leaning on 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 near, made mention of the departure of the children of Israel; and gave instructions concerning his bones.

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

²³By faith, Moses, when he was born, was hidden for three months by his parents, because they saw that he was a beautiful 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 had 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 God’s people, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a time;

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 to the 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 left 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 on dry land. When the Egyptians tried to do so, they 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 encircled 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 prostitute, didn’t perish with those who were disobedient, having received the spies in peace.

³²What more shall I say? For the time would fail me if I told of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, 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, worked out righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, Daniel 6:22-23

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, Daniel 3:1-30 escaped the edge of the sword, 1 Kings 19:1-3; 2 Kings 6:31-7:20 from weakness were made strong, grew mighty in war, and caused foreign armies to flee.

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

³⁵Women received their dead by resurrection. 1 Kings 17:17-23; 2 Kings 4:32-37 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.

³⁶Others were tried by mocking and scourging, yes, moreover by 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. 2 Chronicles 24:20-21 They were sawn apart. They were tempted. They were slain with the sword. Jeremiah 26:20-23; 1 Kings 19:10 They went around in sheep skins and in goat skins; 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, mountains, caves, and the holes of the earth.
