1
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
Nou is die geloof die sekerheid van die dinge wat gehoop word, die bewys van die dinge wat nie gesien word nie.

2
For by it the elders obtained a good report.
Want deur dit het die oues ‚'n goeie getuienis verkry.
3
Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.

5
By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.
Deur die geloof is Henog weggeneem dat hy die dood nie sou sien nie; en is nie gevind nie, omdat God hom weggeneem het: want voor sy wegneming het hy hierdie getuienis gehad, dat hy God behaag het.
6
But without faith [it is] impossible to please [him]: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and [that] he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
Maar sonder geloof is dit onmoontlik om Hom te behaag: want hy wat tot God kom, moet glo dat Hy is, en dat Hy ‚'n beloner is van hulle wat Hom ywerig soek.
7
By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.

Want hy het gewag op die stad wat fondamente het, wie se boumeester en maker God is.
11
Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised.

12
Therefore sprang there even of one, and him as good as dead, [so many] as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable.
Daarom is daar ook uit een, en hy so goed as dood, soveel gebore as die sterre van die hemel in menigte, en as die sand wat by die seestrand ontelbaar is.
13
These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of [them], and embraced [them], and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.
Hierdie almal het in die geloof gesterwe, nie die beloftes ontvang hebbende nie, maar dit van ver af gesien, en was oortuig van hulle, en het hulle omhels, en bely dat hulle vreemdelinge en bywoners op die aarde was.
14
For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country.
Want hulle wat sulke dinge sê, verklaar duidelik dat hulle ’n vaderland soek.
15
And truly, if they had been mindful of that [country] from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned.
En waarlik, as hulle aan daardie land gedink het waarvan hulle uitgegaan het, sou hulle geleentheid gehad het om terug te keer.
16
But now they desire a better [country], that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.
Maar nou begeer hulle ‚'n beter, dit is, ‚'n hemelse: daarom skaam God Hom nie om hulle God genoem te word nie: want Hy het vir hulle ‚'n stad berei.
17
By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten [son],
Deur die geloof het Abraham, toe hy beproef is, Isak geoffer: en hy wat die beloftes ontvang het, het sy eniggeborene geoffer,
18
Of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be called:
Van wie gesê is, In Isak sal jou saad genoem word:
19
Accounting that God [was] able to raise [him] up, even from the dead; from whence also he received him in a figure.

Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;

26
Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward.
Die smaad van Christus groter rykdom agtende as die skatte in Egipte: want hy het gelet op die vergelding van die loon.
27
By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.

And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and [of] Barak, and [of] Samson, and [of] Jephthae; [of] David also, and Samuel, and [of] the prophets:
En wat sal ek meer sê? want die tyd sal my ontbreek om te vertel van Gideon, en van Barak, en van Samson, en van Jefta; van Dawid ook, en Samuel, en van die profete:
33
Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,

34
Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens.
Die geweld van die vuur uitgeblus het, die skerpte van die swaard ontvlug het, uit swakheid sterk gemaak is, dapper geword het in die stryd, die leërs van die vreemdes op die vlug gedryf het.
35

(Van wie die wêreld nie waardig was nie:) in wildernisse ronddwalende, en in berge, en in gate en spelte van die aarde.
39
And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise:
En hierdie almal, hebbende ‚'n goeie getuienis deur die geloof verkry, het nie die belofte ontvang nie:
40
God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.
God hebbende iets beters vir ons voorsien, dat hulle sonder ons nie volmaak gemaak sou word nie.
