1Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. |
1εστιν δε πιστις ελπιζομενων υποστασις πραγματων ελεγχος ου βλεπομενων |
|
2This is what the ancients were commended for. |
2εν ταυτη γαρ εμαρτυρηθησαν οι πρεσβυτεροι |
|
3By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God's command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible. |
3πιστει νοουμεν κατηρτισθαι τους αιωνας ρηματι θεου εις το μη εκ φαινομενων το βλεπομενον γεγονεναι |
|
4By faith Abel offered God a better sacrifice than Cain did. By faith he was commended as a righteous man, when God spoke well of his offerings. And by faith he still speaks, even though he is dead. |
4πιστει πλειονα θυσιαν αβελ παρα καιν προσηνεγκεν τω θεω δι ης εμαρτυρηθη ειναι δικαιος μαρτυρουντος επι τοις δωροις αυτου του θεου και δι αυτης αποθανων ετι λαλει |
|
5By faith Enoch was taken from this life, so that he did not experience death; he could not be found, because God had taken him away. For before he was taken, he was commended as one who pleased God. |
5πιστει ενωχ μετετεθη του μη ιδειν θανατον και ουχ ηυρισκετο διοτι μετεθηκεν αυτον ο θεος προ γαρ της μεταθεσεως μεμαρτυρηται ευαρεστηκεναι τω θεω |
|
6And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. |
6χωρις δε πιστεως αδυνατον ευαρεστησαι πιστευσαι γαρ δει τον προσερχομενον {VAR1: [τω] } {VAR2: τω } θεω οτι εστιν και τοις εκζητουσιν αυτον μισθαποδοτης γινεται |
|
7By faith Noah, when warned about things not yet seen, in holy fear built an ark to save his family. By his faith he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness that comes by faith. |
7πιστει χρηματισθεις νωε περι των μηδεπω βλεπομενων ευλαβηθεις κατεσκευασεν κιβωτον εις σωτηριαν του οικου αυτου δι ης κατεκρινεν τον κοσμον και της κατα πιστιν δικαιοσυνης εγενετο κληρονομος |
|
8By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going. |
8πιστει καλουμενος αβρααμ υπηκουσεν εξελθειν εις τοπον ον ημελλεν λαμβανειν εις κληρονομιαν και εξηλθεν μη επισταμενος που ερχεται |
|
9By faith he made his home in the promised land like a stranger in a foreign country; he lived in tents, as did Isaac and Jacob, who were heirs with him of the same promise. |
9πιστει παρωκησεν εις γην της επαγγελιας ως αλλοτριαν εν σκηναις κατοικησας μετα ισαακ και ιακωβ των συγκληρονομων της επαγγελιας της αυτης |
|
10For he was looking forward to the city with foundations, whose architect and builder is God. |
10εξεδεχετο γαρ την τους θεμελιους εχουσαν πολιν ης τεχνιτης και δημιουργος ο θεος |
|
11By faith Abraham, even though he was past age-and Sarah herself was barren-was enabled to become a father because he considered him faithful who had made the promise. |
11πιστει και αυτη σαρρα {VAR2: στειρα } δυναμιν εις καταβολην σπερματος ελαβεν και παρα καιρον ηλικιας επει πιστον ηγησατο τον επαγγειλαμενον |
|
12And so from this one man, and he as good as dead, came descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as countless as the sand on the seashore. |
12διο και αφ ενος εγεννηθησαν και ταυτα νενεκρωμενου καθως τα αστρα του ουρανου τω πληθει και ως η αμμος η παρα το χειλος της θαλασσης η αναριθμητος |
|
13All these people were still living by faith when they died. They did not receive the things promised; they only saw them and welcomed them from a distance. And they admitted that they were aliens and strangers on earth. |
13κατα πιστιν απεθανον ουτοι παντες μη {VAR1: κομισαμενοι } {VAR2: λαβοντες } τας επαγγελιας αλλα πορρωθεν αυτας ιδοντες και ασπασαμενοι και ομολογησαντες οτι ξενοι και παρεπιδημοι εισιν επι της γης |
|
14People who say such things show that they are looking for a country of their own. |
14οι γαρ τοιαυτα λεγοντες εμφανιζουσιν οτι πατριδα επιζητουσιν |
|
15If they had been thinking of the country they had left, they would have had opportunity to return. |
15και ει μεν εκεινης εμνημονευον αφ ης εξεβησαν ειχον αν καιρον ανακαμψαι |
|
16Instead, they were longing for a better country-a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them. |
16νυν δε κρειττονος ορεγονται τουτ εστιν επουρανιου διο ουκ επαισχυνεται αυτους ο θεος θεος επικαλεισθαι αυτων ητοιμασεν γαρ αυτοις πολιν |
|
17By faith Abraham, when God tested him, offered Isaac as a sacrifice. He who had received the promises was about to sacrifice his one and only son, |
17πιστει προσενηνοχεν αβρααμ τον ισαακ πειραζομενος και τον μονογενη προσεφερεν ο τας επαγγελιας αναδεξαμενος |
|
18even though God had said to him, 'It is through Isaac that your offspring will be reckoned.' |
18προς ον ελαληθη οτι εν ισαακ κληθησεται σοι σπερμα |
|
19Abraham reasoned that God could raise the dead, and figuratively speaking, he did receive Isaac back from death. |
19λογισαμενος οτι και εκ νεκρων εγειρειν δυνατος ο θεος οθεν αυτον και εν παραβολη εκομισατο |
|
20By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau in regard to their future. |
20πιστει και περι μελλοντων ευλογησεν ισαακ τον ιακωβ και τον ησαυ |
|
21By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of Joseph's sons, and worshiped as he leaned on the top of his staff. |
21πιστει ιακωβ αποθνησκων εκαστον των υιων ιωσηφ ευλογησεν και προσεκυνησεν επι το ακρον της ραβδου αυτου |
|
22By faith Joseph, when his end was near, spoke about the exodus of the Israelites from Egypt and gave instructions about his bones. |
22πιστει ιωσηφ τελευτων περι της εξοδου των υιων ισραηλ εμνημονευσεν και περι των οστεων αυτου ενετειλατο |
|
23By faith Moses' parents hid him for three months after he was born, because they saw he was no ordinary child, and they were not afraid of the king's edict. |
23πιστει μωυσης γεννηθεις εκρυβη τριμηνον υπο των πατερων αυτου διοτι ειδον αστειον το παιδιον και ουκ εφοβηθησαν το διαταγμα του βασιλεως |
|
24By faith Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be known as the son of Pharaoh's daughter. |
24πιστει μωυσης μεγας γενομενος ηρνησατο λεγεσθαι υιος θυγατρος φαραω |
|
25He chose to be mistreated along with the people of God rather than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a short time. |
25μαλλον ελομενος συγκακουχεισθαι τω λαω του θεου η προσκαιρον εχειν αμαρτιας απολαυσιν |
|
26He regarded disgrace for the sake of Christ as of greater value than the treasures of Egypt, because he was looking ahead to his reward. |
26μειζονα πλουτον ηγησαμενος των αιγυπτου θησαυρων τον ονειδισμον του χριστου απεβλεπεν γαρ εις την μισθαποδοσιαν |
|
27By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the king's anger; he persevered because he saw him who is invisible. |
27πιστει κατελιπεν αιγυπτον μη φοβηθεις τον θυμον του βασιλεως τον γαρ αορατον ως ορων εκαρτερησεν |
|
28By faith he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of blood, so that the destroyer of the firstborn would not touch the firstborn of Israel. |
28πιστει πεποιηκεν το πασχα και την προσχυσιν του αιματος ινα μη ο ολοθρευων τα πρωτοτοκα θιγη αυτων |
|
29By faith the people passed through the Red Sea as on dry land; but when the Egyptians tried to do so, they were drowned. |
29πιστει διεβησαν την ερυθραν θαλασσαν ως δια ξηρας γης ης πειραν λαβοντες οι αιγυπτιοι κατεποθησαν |
|
30By faith the walls of Jericho fell, after the people had marched around them for seven days. |
30πιστει τα τειχη ιεριχω επεσαν κυκλωθεντα επι επτα ημερας |
|
31By faith the prostitute Rahab, because she welcomed the spies, was not killed with those who were disobedient. |
31πιστει ρααβ η πορνη ου συναπωλετο τοις απειθησασιν δεξαμενη τους κατασκοπους μετ ειρηνης |
|
32And what more shall I say? I do not have time to tell about Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, Samuel and the prophets, |
32και τι ετι λεγω επιλειψει με γαρ διηγουμενον ο χρονος περι γεδεων βαρακ σαμψων ιεφθαε δαυιδ τε και σαμουηλ και των προφητων |
|
33who through faith conquered kingdoms, administered justice, and gained what was promised; who shut the mouths of lions, |
33οι δια πιστεως κατηγωνισαντο βασιλειας ειργασαντο δικαιοσυνην επετυχον επαγγελιων εφραξαν στοματα λεοντων |
|
34quenched the fury of the flames, and escaped the edge of the sword; whose weakness was turned to strength; and who became powerful in battle and routed foreign armies. |
34εσβεσαν δυναμιν πυρος εφυγον στοματα μαχαιρης εδυναμωθησαν απο ασθενειας εγενηθησαν ισχυροι εν πολεμω παρεμβολας εκλιναν αλλοτριων |
|
35Women received back their dead, raised to life again. Others were tortured and refused to be released, so that they might gain a better resurrection. |
35ελαβον γυναικες εξ αναστασεως τους νεκρους αυτων αλλοι δε ετυμπανισθησαν ου προσδεξαμενοι την απολυτρωσιν ινα κρειττονος αναστασεως τυχωσιν |
|
36Some faced jeers and flogging, while still others were chained and put in prison. |
36ετεροι δε εμπαιγμων και μαστιγων πειραν ελαβον ετι δε δεσμων και φυλακης |
|
37They were stoned; they were sawed in two; they were put to death by the sword. They went about in sheepskins and goatskins, destitute, persecuted and mistreated- |
37ελιθασθησαν {VAR1: επειρασθησαν } επρισθησαν εν φονω μαχαιρης απεθανον περιηλθον εν μηλωταις εν αιγειοις δερμασιν υστερουμενοι θλιβομενοι κακουχουμενοι |
|
38the world was not worthy of them. They wandered in deserts and mountains, and in caves and holes in the ground. |
38ων ουκ ην αξιος ο κοσμος επι ερημιαις πλανωμενοι και ορεσιν και σπηλαιοις και ταις οπαις της γης |
|
39These were all commended for their faith, yet none of them received what had been promised. |
39και ουτοι παντες μαρτυρηθεντες δια της πιστεως ουκ εκομισαντο την επαγγελιαν |
|
40God had planned something better for us so that only together with us would they be made perfect. |
40του θεου περι ημων κρειττον τι προβλεψαμενου ινα μη χωρις ημων τελειωθωσιν |
1믿음은 우리가 바라는 것들에 대해서 확신하는 것입니다. 또한 보이지는 않지만 그것이 사실임을 아는 것입니다.
2옛날 사람들도 믿음으로 인정받았습니다.
3믿음을 통해 우리는 이 세상 모든 것이 하나님의 말씀으로 창조되었다는 것을 이해합니다. 이것은 우리가 보고 있는 것들이 보이지 않는 어떤 것으로 만들어졌다는 것을 말합니다.
4아벨은 믿음으로 가인보다 하나님께 더 나은 제사를 드렸습니다. 하나님께서는 아벨이 드린 제사를 기뻐 받으시고, 그를 의인이라 부르셨습니다. 아벨은 죽었지만 여전히 그의 믿음을 통해 우리에게 말하고 있습니다.
5믿음으로 에녹은 죽지 않고 하늘로 옮겨져서, 아무도 그를 볼 수 없게 되었습니다. 하나님께서 그를 하늘로 데리고 올라가신 것입니다. 성경은 그가 이 땅에 사는 동안 진실로 하나님을 기쁘시게 하는 자였다고 증언합니다.
6믿음이 없이는 어느 누구도 하나님을 기쁘시게 할 수 없습니다. 하나님께 나아오는 자는 그가 계시다는 것과 그를 찾는 자들에게 상 주시는 분이라는 것을 진정으로 믿어야 합니다.
7믿음으로 노아는 아직 보지 못하는 일에 대한 하나님의 경고를 들었습니다. 그는 하나님께 순종해서 그의 가족을 구원할 방주를 지었습니다. 그는 믿음으로 세상이 잘못되어 가고 있음을 사람들에게 알리고, 하나님과 의의 관계를 맺은 사람이 되었습니다.
8믿음으로 아브라함은 하나님께서 그에게 약속하신 땅으로 가라는 하나님의 부르심에 순종하였습니다. 그는 가야 할 곳도 모른 채 자기 고향을 떠났습니다.
9그는 믿음 때문에 하나님께서 자기에게 약속하신 땅에 가서 살 수 있었습니다. 그는 그 곳에서 갈 곳 없는 나그네처럼 살았고, 같은 약속을 받은 이삭과 야곱과 함께 장막에서 거하였습니다.
10아브라함은 영원한 터가 있는 성을 기다리고 있었습니다. 그것은 바로 하나님께서 계획하고 세우신 성입니다.
11사라 자신도 아이를 낳기에는 나이가 너무 많았으나, 믿음으로 후손을 얻을 힘을 얻었습니다. 그것은 그녀가 약속해 주신 하나님을 신실한 분으로 믿었기 때문입니다.
12나이가 많아 거의 죽은 사람과 다름없던 한 사람으로부터, 하늘의 별과 바닷가의 모래알같이 셀 수 없을 정도로 많은 후손이 나왔습니다.
13이 사람들은 모두 믿음을 따라 살다가 죽었습니다. 그들은 하나님께서 그의 백성에게 약속하신 것을 받지는 못했으나, 앞으로 올 것들을 멀리서 보고 기뻐하였습니다. 그들은 스스로 자신들이 이 땅에서 나그네일 뿐이라고 고백하였습니다.
14이것은 그들이 진짜 고향을 찾고 있다는 것을 나타냅니다.
15만일 그들이 떠나온 고향을 생각한다면 다시 되돌아갈 수도 있었을 것입니다.
16그러나 그들은 더 나은 고향을 기다리고 있었는데, 그것은 바로 하늘에 있는 고향이었습니다. 그래서 하나님께서는 저들의 하나님이라고 불리는 것을 부끄러워하지 않으시고, 그들을 위해 한 성을 예비해 주셨습니다.
17아브라함은 하나님께 시험을 받았을 때, 믿음으로 이삭을 제물로 바쳤습니다. 그는 하나님께 약속을 받았는데도 아들을 바칠 준비를 한 것입니다.
18하나님께서는 그에게 "내가 네게 약속한 후손은 이삭을 통해 나올 것이다"라고 말씀하셨습니다.
19아브라함은 하나님께서 죽은 사람도 살려 주신다는 것을 믿었습니다. 아브라함은 이삭을 죽은 사람들 가운데서 다시 받은 것입니다.
20믿음으로 이삭은 야곱과 에서의 앞날을 축복하였습니다.
21또 믿음으로, 야곱은 죽을 때 요셉의 아들들을 축복하고, 그의 지팡이를 짚고서 하나님께 경배드렸습니다.
22믿음으로 요셉은, 죽을 때, 이스라엘 백성이 이집트에서 떠날 것을 말하였고, 자기의 시신을 어떻게 할 것인지도 얘기하였습니다.
23믿음으로 모세의 부모는, 그가 태어났을 때 평범한 아이가 아니라는 것을 알고 석 달 동안, 그를 숨기며 키웠습니다. 그들은 왕의 명령을 거역하는 것도 두려워하지 않았습니다.
24믿음으로 모세는, 성장한 뒤 파라오 딸의 아들이라 불리는 것을 거절하였습니다.
25그는 잠시 동안 죄의 즐거움을 누리기보다는, 하나님의 백성들과 함께 고난받는 것을 택하였습니다.
26그는 이집트의 온갖 보물을 가지는 것보다 그리스도를 위해 고난받는 것이 더 낫다고 생각한 것입니다. 그는 오직 하나님이 주실 상만을 바라보았습니다.
27믿음으로 모세는 이집트를 떠났으며, 왕의 분노를 두려워하지 않았습니다. 모세는 보이지 않는 하나님을 마치 보이는 듯이 바라보며 꿋꿋이 참았습니다.
28믿음으로 모세는 유월절을 준비하고, 문마다 피를 발랐습니다. 이 피는 죽음의 천사가 이스라엘 백성의 맏아들을 죽이지 않도록 하기 위해 바른 것입니다.
29믿음으로 그들은, 마른 땅을 건너는 것처럼 홍해를 지나갔습니다. 그러나 이집트인들은 그들을 따라가다가 물에 빠져 죽고 말았습니다.
30믿음으로 이스라엘 백성들이 여리고 성 주위를 칠 일 동안 돌자 성은 무너졌습니다.
31믿음으로 기생 라합은 정탐꾼들을 잘 대접하여, 하나님께 순종하지 않은 자들이 죽임을 당할 때 구원을 받았습니다.
32더 많은 이야기가 필요합니까? 기드온, 바락, 삼손, 입다, 다윗, 사무엘, 그리고 다른 예언자들을 다 말하려면 시간이 모자랄 것입니다.
33그들은 믿음으로 나라들을 정복하고, 옳은 일을 하였으며, 하나님께서 약속하신 것들을 받았고, 사자의 입을 막았습니다.
34또 큰 불을 막아 내며, 칼날을 피하였습니다. 그들은 약한 데서 강해졌으며, 전쟁터에서는 용감해져서 적들을 무찔렀습니다.
35여자들은 죽은 가족이 다시 살아나는 것을 보았습니다. 또 어떤 이들은 죽은 후에 더 나은 삶으로 부활할 것을 생각하면서, 고문을 당하고 풀려나는 것을 거절하기도 하였습니다.
36어떤 이들은 조롱을 받으며 매를 맞았습니다. 어떤 이들은 묶인 채로 감옥에 끌려갔습니다.
37그들은 돌에 맞아 죽었고, 몸이 반으로 잘리기도 하였으며, 칼에 찔려 죽기도 하였습니다. 양과 염소 가죽을 두르고 가난과 고난과 학대를 견뎌야 했습니다.
38그들에게 세상은 아무런 가치가 없었습니다. 그들은 광야와 산과 동굴과 땅굴에서 살았습니다.
39이 사람들은 모두 믿음으로 이름이 알려진 자들입니다. 그러나 그들 중 어느 누구도 하나님께서 약속하신 것을 받지는 못하였습니다.
40그것은 하나님께서 우리에게 더 좋은 것을 예비하시고 그들이 우리와 함께 완전해지도록 하셨기 때문입니다.
