К Евреям 11

Hebrews 11
|
| Вера же есть осуществление ожидаемого и уверенность в невидимом. | Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, and the sign that the things not seen are true. |
| В ней свидетельствованы древние. | For by it our fathers had God's approval. |
| Верою познаём, что веки устроены словом Божиим, так что из невидимого произошло видимое. | By faith it is clear to us that the order of events was fixed by the word of God, so that what is seen has not been made from things which only seem to be. |
| Верою Авель принес Богу жертву лучшую, нежели Каин; ею получил свидетельство, что он праведен, как засвидетельствовал Бог о дарах его; ею он и по смерти говорит еще. | By faith Abel made a better offering to God than Cain, and he had witness through it of his righteousness, God giving his approval of his offering: and his voice still comes to us through it though he is dead. |
| Верою Енох переселен был так, что не видел смерти; и не стало его, потому что Бог переселил его. Ибо прежде переселения своего получил он свидетельство, что угодил Богу. | By faith Enoch was taken up to heaven so that he did not see death; he was seen no longer, for God took him away: for before he was taken, witness had been given that he was well-pleasing to God: |
| А без веры угодить Богу невозможно; ибо надобно, чтобы приходящий к Богу веровал, что Он есть, и ищущим Его воздает. | And without faith it is not possible to be well-pleasing to him, for it is necessary for anyone who comes to God to have the belief that God is, and that he is a rewarder of all those who make a serious search for him. |
| Верою Ной, получив откровение о том, что еще не было видимо, благоговея приготовил ковчег для спасения дома своего; ею осудил он (весь) мир, и сделался наследником праведности по вере. | By faith Noah, being moved by the fear of God, made ready an ark for the salvation of his family, because God had given him news of things which were not seen at the time; and through it the world was judged by him, and he got for his heritage the righteousness which is by faith. |
| Верою Авраам повиновался призванию идти в страну, которую имел получить в наследие, и пошел, не зная, куда идет. | By faith Abraham did as God said when he was ordered to go out into a place which was to be given to him as a heritage, and went out without knowledge of where he was going. |
| Верою обитал он на земле обетованной, как на чужой, и жил в шатрах с Исааком и Иаковом, сонаследниками того же обетования; | By faith he was a wanderer in the land of the agreement, as in a strange land, living in tents with Isaac and Jacob, who had a part with him in the same heritage: |
| ибо он ожидал города, имеющего основание, которого художник и строитель Бог. | For he was looking for the strong town, whose builder and maker is God. |
| Верою и сама Сарра (будучи неплодна) получила силу к принятию семени, и не по времени возраста родила, ибо знала, что верен Обещавший. | And by faith Sarah herself had power to give birth, when she was very old, because she had faith in him who gave his word; |
| И потому от одного, и притом омертвелого, родилось так много, как [много] звезд на небе и как бесчислен песок на берегу морском. | So that from one man, who was near to death, came children in number as the stars in heaven, or as the sand by the seaside, which may not be numbered. |
| Все сии умерли в вере, не получив обетований, а только издали видели оные, и радовались, и говорили о себе, что они странники и пришельцы на земле; | All these came to their end in faith, not having had the heritage; but having seen it with delight far away, they gave witness that they were wanderers and not of the earth. |
| ибо те, которые так говорят, показывают, что они ищут отечества. | For those who say such things make it clear that they are searching for a country for themselves. |
| И если бы они в мыслях имели то [отечество], из которого вышли, то имели бы время возвратиться; | And truly if they had kept in mind the country from which they went out, they would have had chances of turning back. |
| но они стремились к лучшему, то есть к небесному; посему и Бог не стыдится их, называя Себя их Богом: ибо Он приготовил им город. | But now their desire is for a better country, that is to say, for one in heaven; and so it is no shame to God to be named their God; for he has made ready a town for them. |
| Верою Авраам, будучи искушаем, принес в жертву Исаака и, имея обетование, принес единородного, | By faith Abraham made an offering of Isaac, when he was tested: and he with whom the agreement had been made gave up as an offering the only son of his body, |
| о котором было сказано: в Исааке наречется тебе семя. | Of whom it had been said, From Isaac will your seed take their name: |
| Ибо он думал, что Бог силен и из мертвых воскресить, почему и получил его в предзнаменование. | Judging that God was able to give life even to the dead; and because of this he did get him back as if from death. |
| Верою в будущее Исаак благословил Иакова и Исава. | By faith Isaac, blessing Jacob and Esau, gave news of things to come. |
| Верою Иаков, умирая, благословил каждого сына Иосифова и поклонился на верх жезла своего. | By faith Jacob gave a blessing to the two sons of Joseph, when he was near to death; and gave God worship, supported by his stick. |
| Верою Иосиф, при кончине, напоминал об исходе сынов Израилевых и завещал о костях своих. | By faith Joseph, when his end was near, said that the children of Israel would go out of Egypt; and gave orders about his bones. |
| Верою Моисей по рождении три месяца скрываем был родителями своими, ибо видели они, что дитя прекрасно, и не устрашились царского повеления. | By faith Moses was kept secretly by his father and mother for three months after his birth, because they saw that he was a fair child; and they had no fear of the king's orders. |
| Верою Моисей, придя в возраст, отказался называться сыном дочери фараоновой, | By faith Moses, when he became a man, had no desire to be named the son of Pharaoh's daughter; |
| и лучше захотел страдать с народом Божиим, нежели иметь временное греховное наслаждение, | Feeling that it was better to undergo pain with the people of God, than for a short time to have a taste of the pleasures of sin; |
| и поношение Христово почел большим для себя богатством, нежели Египетские сокровища; ибо он взирал на воздаяние. | Judging a part in the shame of Christ to be better than all the wealth of Egypt; for he was looking forward to his reward. |
| Верою оставил он Египет, не убоявшись гнева царского, ибо он, как бы видя Невидимого, был тверд. | By faith he went out of Egypt, not being turned from his purpose by fear of the wrath of the king; for he kept on his way, as seeing him who is unseen. |
| Верою совершил он Пасху и пролитие крови, дабы истребитель первенцев не коснулся их. | By faith he kept the Passover, and put the sign of the blood on the houses, so that the angel of destruction might not put their oldest sons to death. |
| Верою перешли они Чермное море, как по суше, --на что покусившись, Египтяне потонули. | By faith they went through the Red Sea as if it had been dry land, though the Egyptians were overcome by the water when they made an attempt to do the same. |
| Верою пали стены Иерихонские, по семидневном обхождении. | By faith the walls of Jericho came down, after they had been circled for seven days. |
| Верою Раав блудница, с миром приняв соглядатаев (и проводив их другим путем), не погибла с неверными. | By faith Rahab, the loose woman, was not put to death with those who had gone against God's orders, because she had taken into her house in peace those sent to see the land. |
| И что еще скажу? Недостанет мне времени, чтобы повествовать о Гедеоне, о Вараке, о Самсоне и Иеффае, о Давиде, Самуиле и (других) пророках, | What more am I to say? For there would not be time to give the stories of Gideon, Barak, Samson, and Jephthah, of David and Samuel and the prophets: |
| которые верою побеждали царства, творили правду, получали обетования, заграждали уста львов, | Who through faith overcame kingdoms, did righteousness, got their reward, kept the mouths of lions shut, |
| угашали силу огня, избегали острия меча, укреплялись от немощи, были крепки на войне, прогоняли полки чужих; | Put out the power of fire, got safely away from the edge of the sword, were made strong when they had been feeble, became full of power in war, and put to flight the armies of the nations. |
| жены получали умерших своих воскресшими; иные же замучены были, не приняв освобождения, дабы получить лучшее воскресение; | Women had their dead given back to them living; others let themselves be cruelly attacked, having no desire to go free, so that they might have a better life to come; |
| другие испытали поругания и побои, а также узы и темницу, | And others were tested by being laughed at or by blows, and even with chains and prisons: |
| были побиваемы камнями, перепиливаемы, подвергаемы пытке, умирали от меча, скитались в милотях и козьих кожах, терпя недостатки, скорби, озлобления; | They were stoned, they were cut up with knives, they were tested, they were put to death with the sword, they went about in sheepskins and in goatskins; being poor and in pain and cruelly attacked, |
| те, которых весь мир не был достоин, скитались по пустыням и горам, по пещерам и ущельям земли. | Wandering in waste places and in mountains and in holes in the rocks; for whom the world was not good enough. |
| И все сии, свидетельствованные в вере, не получили обещанного, | And not one of these got the good things of the agreement, though they all had a good record through faith, |
| потому что Бог предусмотрел о нас нечто лучшее, дабы они не без нас достигли совершенства. | Because God had kept some better thing for us, so that it was not possible for them to become complete without us. |
