1Now faith is assurance of things hoped for, proof of things not seen.
1Ora, a fé é o firme fundamento das coisas que se esperam, e a prova das coisas que não se vêem.
2For by this, the elders obtained testimony.
2Porque por ela os antigos alcançaram bom testemunho.
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.
3Pela fé entendemos que os mundos foram criados pela palavra de Deus; de modo que o visível não foi feito daquilo que se vê.
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.
4Pela fé Abel ofereceu a Deus mais excelente sacrifício que Caim, pelo qual alcançou testemunho de que era justo, dando Deus testemunho das suas oferendas, e por meio dela depois de morto, ainda fala.
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.
5Pela fé Enoque foi trasladado para não ver a morte; e não foi achado, porque Deus o trasladara; pois antes da sua trasladação alcançou testemunho de que agradara a Deus.
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.
6Ora, sem fé é impossível agradar a Deus; porque é necessário que aquele que se aproxima de Deus creia que ele existe, e que é galardoador dos que o buscam.
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.
7Pela fé Noé, divinamente avisado das coisas que ainda não se viam, sendo temente a Deus, preparou uma arca para o salvamento da sua família; e por esta fé condenou o mundo, e tornou-se herdeiro da justiça que é segundo a fé.
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.

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.
9Pela fé peregrinou na terra da promessa, como em terra alheia, habitando em tendas com Isaque e Jacó, herdeiros com ele da mesma promessa;
10For he looked for the city which has the foundations, whose builder and maker is God.
10porque esperava a cidade que tem os fundamentos, da qual o arquiteto e edificador é Deus.
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.
11Pela fé, até a própria Sara recebeu a virtude de conceber um filho, mesmo fora da idade, porquanto teve por fiel aquele que lho havia prometido.
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.
12Pelo que também de um, e esse já amortecido, descenderam tantos, em multidão, como as estrelas do céu, e como a areia inumerável que está na praia do mar.
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.
13Todos estes morreram na fé, sem terem alcançado as promessas; mas tendo-as visto e saudado, de longe, confessaram que eram estrangeiros e peregrinos na terra.
14For those who say such things make it clear that they are seeking a country of their own.
14Ora, os que tais coisas dizem, mostram que estão buscando uma pátria.
15If indeed they had been thinking of that country from which they went out, they would have had enough time to return.
15E se, na verdade, se lembrassem daquela donde haviam saído, teriam oportunidade de voltar.
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.
16Mas agora desejam uma pátria melhor, isto é, a celestial. Pelo que também Deus não se envergonha deles, de ser chamado seu Deus, porque já lhes preparou uma cidade.
17By faith, Abraham, being tested, offered up Isaac. Yes, he who had gladly received the promises was offering up his one and only son;
17Pela fé Abraão, sendo provado, ofereceu Isaque; sim, ia oferecendo o seu unigênito aquele que recebera as promessas,
18even he to whom it was said, “In Isaac will your seed be called”; Genesis 21:12
18e a quem se havia dito: Em Isaque será chamada a tua descendência,
19concluding that God is able to raise up even from the dead. Figuratively speaking, he also did receive him back from the dead.
19julgando que Deus era poderoso para até dos mortos o ressuscitar; e daí também em figura o recobrou.
20By faith, Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau, even concerning things to come.
20Pela fé Isaque abençoou Jacó e a Esaú, no tocante �s coisas futuras.
21By faith, Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, and worshiped, leaning on the top of his staff.

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.
23Pela fé Moisés, logo ao nascer, foi escondido por seus pais durante três meses, porque viram que o menino era formoso; e não temeram o decreto do rei.
24By faith, Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter,
24Pela fé Moisés, sendo já homem, recusou ser chamado filho da filha de Faraó,
25choosing rather to share ill treatment with God’s people, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a time;
25escolhendo antes ser maltratado com o povo de Deus do que ter por algum tempo o gozo do pecado,
26accounting the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt; for he looked to the reward.
26tendo por maiores riquezas o opróbrio de Cristo do que os tesouros do Egito; porque tinha em vista a recompensa.
27By faith, he left Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.
27Pela fé deixou o Egito, não temendo a ira do rei; porque ficou firme, como quem vê aquele que é invisível.
28By faith, he kept the Passover, and the sprinkling of the blood, that the destroyer of the firstborn should not touch them.
28Pela fé celebrou a páscoa e a aspersão do sangue, para que o destruidor dos primogênitos não lhes tocasse.
29By faith, they passed through the Red Sea as on dry land. When the Egyptians tried to do so, they were swallowed up.
29Pela fé os israelitas atravessaram o Mar Vermelho, como por terra seca; e tentando isso os egípcios, foram afogados.

31Pela fé Raabe, a meretriz, não pereceu com os desobedientes, tendo acolhido em paz os espias.
32What more shall I say? For the time would fail me if I told of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, Samuel, and the prophets;
32E que mais direi? Pois me faltará o tempo, se eu contar de Gideão, de Baraque, de Sansão, de Jefté, de Davi, de Samuel e dos profetas;
33who, through faith subdued kingdoms, worked out righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, Daniel 6:22-23
33os quais por meio da fé venceram reinos, praticaram a justiça, alcançaram promessas, fecharam a boca dos leões,
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.
34apagaram a força do fogo, escaparam ao fio da espada, da fraqueza tiraram forças, tornaram-se poderosos na guerra, puseram em fuga exércitos estrangeiros.
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.
35As mulheres receberam pela ressurreição os seus mortos; uns foram torturados, não aceitando o seu livramento, para alcançarem uma melhor ressurreição;
36Others were tried by mocking and scourging, yes, moreover by bonds and imprisonment.
36e outros experimentaram escárnios e açoites, e ainda cadeias e prisões.
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
37Foram apedrejados e tentados; foram serrados ao meio; morreram ao fio da espada; andaram vestidos de peles de ovelhas e de cabras, necessitados, aflitos e maltratados
38(of whom the world was not worthy), wandering in deserts, mountains, caves, and the holes of the earth.
38(dos quais o mundo não era digno), errantes pelos desertos e montes, e pelas covas e cavernas da terra.
39These all, having had testimony given to them through their faith, didn’t receive the promise,
39E todos estes, embora tendo recebido bom testemunho pela fé, contudo não alcançaram a promessa;
40God having provided some better thing concerning us, so that apart from us they should not be made perfect.
40visto que Deus provera alguma coisa melhor a nosso respeito, para que eles, sem nós, não fossem aperfeiçoados.
