11 — Hebrews

1Now, faith is the substance of things to be hoped for, the evidence of things that appear not.Or ella è la fede il fondamento delle cose da sperarsi, dimostrazione delle cose, che non si veggono.AND faith is, the substance of things to be hoped for, the argument of things not appearing.Est autem fides sperandarum substantia rerum, argumentum non apparentium. 2For by this the ancients obtained a testimony.Imperocché per questa furono celebrati i maggiori.For in this the old men obtained testimonie.In hac enim testimonium consecuti sunt senes. 3By faith we understand that the world was framed by the word of God: that from invisible things visible things might be made.Per mezzo della fede intendiamo, come furono formati i secoli per la parola di Dio, talmente che dell'invisibile fosse fatto il visibile.By faith, vve vnderstand that the vvorldes vvere framed by the vvord of God: that of inuisible things visible things might be made.Fide intelligimus aptata esse sæcula verbo Dei: ut ex invisibilibus visibilia fierent. 4By faith Abel offered to God a sacrifice exceeding that of Cain, by which he obtained a testimony that he was just, God giving testimony to his gifts. And by it he being dead yet speaketh.Per la fede offerse a Dio ostia migliore Abele, che Caino, per la quale fu lodato come giusto, approvati da Dio i doni di lui, e per essa parla tuttora dopo la morte.By faith, Abel offered a greater hoste to God thē Cain: by vvhich he obtained testimonie that he vvas iust, God giuing testimonie to his giftes, & by it, he being dead, yet speaketh.Fide plurimam hostiam Abel, quam Cain, obtulit Deo, per quam testimonium consecutus est esse justus, testimonium perhibente muneribus ejus Deo, et per illam defunctus adhuc loquitur. 5By faith Henoch was translated that he should not see death: and he was not found because God had translated him. For before his translation he had testimony that he pleased God.Per la fede Enoch fu trasportato, perché non vedesse la morte, e non fa trovato, perché traslatollo Iddio: imperocché prima della traslazione fu lodato come accetto a Dio.By faith Henoch vvas translated, that he should not see death, and he vvas not found: because God translated him. for before his translation he had testimonie that he had pleased God.Fide Henoch translatus est ne videret mortem, et non inveniebatur, quia transtulit illum Deus: ante translationem enim testimonium habuit placuisse Deo. 6But without faith it is impossible to please God. For he that cometh to God must believe that he is: and is a rewarder to them that seek him.Or senza la fede è impossibile di piacere a Dio. Imperocché chi a Dio si accosta, fa di mestieri, che creda che egli è, e rimunera que', che lo cercano.But vvithout faith it is impossible to please God. For he that commeth to God, must beleeue that he is, and is a revvarder to them that seeke him.Sine fide autem impossibile est placere Deo. Credere enim oportet accedentem ad Deum quia est, et inquirentibus se remunerator sit.

7By faith Noe, having received an answer concerning those things which as yet were not seen, moved with fear, framed the ark for the saving of his house: by the which he condemned the world and was instituted heir of the justice which is by faith.Per la fede Noè avvertito da Dio di cose, che ancor non si vedevano, con pio timore andò preparando l'arca per salvare la sua famiglia, per la qual (arca) condannò il mondo: e diventò erede della giustizia, che vien dalla fede.By faith, Noë hauing receiued an ansvver concerning those things vvhich as yet vvere not seen, seating, framed the arke for the sauing of his house, by the vvhich he condemned the vvorld: and vvas instituted heire of the iustice vvhich is by faith.Fide Noë responso accepto de iis quæ adhuc non videbantur, metuens aptavit arcam in salutem domus suæ, per quam damnavit mundum: et justitiæ, quæ per fidem est, hæres est institutus. 8By faith he that is called Abraham obeyed to go out into a place which he was to receive for an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing whither he went.Per la fede quegli, che è chiamato Abrahamo, ubbidì per andare al luogo, che doveva ricevere in eredità: e parti, senza saper dove andasse.By faith, he that is called, Abraham, obeied to goe forth into the place vvhich he vvas to receiue for inheritāce: and he vvent forth, not knovving vvhither he vvent.Fide qui vocatur Abraham obedivit in locum exire, quem accepturus erat in hæreditatem: et exiit, nesciens quo iret. 9By faith he abode in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in cottages, with Isaac and Jacob, the co-heirs of the same promise.Per la fede stette pellegrino nella terra promessa, come non sua, abitando sotto le tende con Isacco, e Giacobbe coeredi della stessa promessa.By faith, he abode in the land of promise, as in a strāge lād, dvvelling in cottages vvith Isaac & Iacob the coheires of the same promise.Fide demoratus est in terra repromissionis, tamquam in aliena, in casulis habitando cum Isaac et Jacob cohæredibus repromissionis ejusdem. 10For he looked for a city that hath foundations: whose builder and maker is God.Imperocché aspettava quella città ben fondata: della quale (è) architetto Dio, e fondatore.For he expected the citie that hath foundations: vvhose artificer and maker is God.Exspectabat enim fundamenta habentem civitatem: cujus artifex et conditor Deus. 11By faith also Sara herself, being barren, received strength to conceive seed, even past the time of age: because she believed that he was faithful who had promised,Per la fede ancora la stessa Sara sterile ottenne virtù di concepire anche a dispetto dell'età: perché credette fedele colui, che le aveva fatta la promessa.By faith, Sara also her self being barren, receiued vertue in conceauing of seede, yea past the time of age: because she beleeued that he vvas faithful which had promised.Fide et ipsa Sara sterilis virtutem in conceptionem seminis accepit, etiam præter tempus ætatis: quoniam fidelem credidit esse eum qui repromiserat. 12For which cause there sprung even from one (and him as good as dead) as the stars of heaven in multitude and as the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable.Per la qual cosa eziandio da un solo (e questo già morto) nacque una moltitudine, come le stelle del cielo, e come l'arena innumerabile, che è sulla spiaggia del mare.For the vvhich cause euen of one (and him quite dead) there rose as the starres of heauen in multitude, & as the sand that is by the sea shore innumerable.Propter quod et ab uno orti sunt (et hoc emortuo) tamquam sidera cæli in multitudinem, et sicut arena, quæ est ad oram maris, innumerabilis.

13All these died according to faith, not having received the promises but beholding them afar off and saluting them and confessing that they are pilgrims and strangers on the earth.Nella fede morirono tutti questi, senza aver conseguito le promesse, ma da lungi mirandole, e salutandole, e confessando di essere ospiti, e pellegrini sopra la terra.According to faith died al these, not hauing receiued the promises, but beholding them a farre of, and saluting them, and cōfessing that they are pilgrimes & strangers vpon the earth,Juxta fidem defuncti sunt omnes isti, non acceptis repromissionibus, sed a longe eas aspicientes, et salutantes, et confitentes quia peregrini et hospites sunt super terram. 14For they that say these things do signify that they seek a country.Imperocché quelli, che così parlano, dimostrano, che cercan la patria.for they that say these things, doe signifie that they seeke a countrie.Qui enim hæc dicunt, significant se patriam inquirere. 15And truly, if they had been mindful of that from whence they came out, they had doubtless, time to return.E se avesser conservato memoria di quella, ond'erano usciti, avevan certamente il tempo di ritornarvi:And in deede if they had been mindeful of the same from vvhence they came forth, they had time verely to returne.Et si quidem ipsius meminissent de qua exierunt, habebant utique tempus revertendi: 16But now they desire a better, that is to say, a heavenly country. Therefore, God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.Ma ad una migliore anelano, cioè alla celeste. Per questo non ha Dio rossore di chiamarsi loro Dio: conciossiachè preparata aveva per essi la città.but novv they desire a better, that is to say, a heauenly. Therfore God is not confounded to be called their God. for he hath prepared them a citie.nunc autem meliorem appetunt, id est, cælestem. Ideo non confunditur Deus vocari Deus eorum: paravit enim illis civitatem. 17By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son,Per la fede Abramo messo a cimento offerse Isacco, e offeriva l'unigenito egli, che aveva ricevute le promesse;By faith, Abraham offered Isaac, vvhen he vvas tempted: and his onlie-begotten did he offer vvho had receiued the promises: (Fide obtulit Abraham Isaac, cum tentaretur, et unigenitum offerebat, qui susceperat repromissiones: 18(To whom it was said: In Isaac shall thy seed be called:)Egli, a cui era stato detto: in Isacco sarà la tua discendenza:to vvhom it vvas said, That in Isaac shal seede be called to thee.)ad quem dictum est: Quia in Isaac vocabitur tibi semen: 19Accounting that God is able to raise up even from the dead. Whereupon also he received him for a parable.Pensando (Abramo) che potente è Dio anche per risuscitare uno da morte: donde ancor lo riebbe come una figura.accounting that God is able to raise vp euen from the dead. wherevpō he receiued him also for a parable.arbitrans quia et a mortuis suscitare potens est Deus: unde eum et in parabolam accepit.

20By faith also of things to come Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau.Per la fede Isacco diede a Giacobbe, e ad Esaù la benedizione (riguardante) le cose future.By faith, also of things to come, Isaac blessed Iacob and Esau.Fide et de futuris benedixit Isaac Jacob et Esau. 21By faith Jacob, dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph and adored the top of his rod.Per la fede Giacobbe, in morendo, benedisse ciascuno de' figliuoli di Giuseppe: e adorò la sommità del bastone di lui.BY faith, Iacob dying, blessed euery one of the sonnes of Ioseph: and adored the toppe of his roddo.Fide Jacob, moriens, singulos filiorum Joseph benedixit: et adoravit fastigium virgæ ejus. 22By faith Joseph, when he was dying, made mention of the going out of the children of Israel and gave commandment concerning his bones.Per la fede Giuseppe, morendo, rammentò l'uscita de' figliuoli d'Israele (dall'Egitto), e dispose delle sue ossa.By faith, Ioseph dying, made mention of the going forth of the children of Israël: and gaue commaundement concerning his bones.Fide Joseph, moriens, de profectione filiorum Israël memoratus est, et de ossibus suis mandavit. 23By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months by his parents: because they saw he was a comely babe, and they feared not the king’s edict.Per la fede Mosè, nato che fu, per tre mesi fu tenuto nascosto da' suoi genitori, perché avevan veduto, che era un bel bambino, e non ebber paura dell'editto del Re.By faith, Moyses being borne, vvas hidde three monethes by his parents: because they savv him a proper infant, and they feared not the kings edict.Fide Moyses, natus, occultatus est mensibus tribus a parentibus suis, eo quod vidissent elegantem infantem, et non timuerunt regis edictum. 24By faith Moses, when he was grown up, denied himself to be the son of Pharao’s daughter:Per la fede Mosè fatto grande negò di essere figliuolo della figlia di Faraone,By faith, Moyses being made great, denied him self to be the sonne of Pharaos daughter:Fide Moyses grandis factus negavit se esse filium filiæ Pharaonis, 25Rather choosing to be afflicted with the people of God than to have the pleasure of sin for a time:Eleggendo piuttosto di essere afflitto insieme col popol di Dio, che godere per un tempo nel peccato,rather chosing to be afflicted vvith the people of God, then to haue the pleasure of temporal sinne,magis eligens affligi cum populo Dei, quam temporalis peccati habere jucunditatem, 26Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasure of the Egyptians. For he looked unto the reward.Maggior tesoro giudicando l'obbrobrio di Cristo, che le ricchezze dell'Egitto: imperocché mirava alla ricompensa.esteeming the reproche of Christ, greater riches then the treasure of the Aegyptians. for he looked vnto the remuneration.majores divitias æstimans thesauro Ægyptiorum, improperium Christi: aspiciebat enim in remunerationem.

27By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the fierceness of the king: for he endured, as seeing him that is invisible.Per la fede lasciò l'Egitto, senza aver paura dello sdegno del re; imperocché si fortificò col quasi veder lui, che è invisibile.By faith, he left Aegypt: not fearing the fiercenes of the king. for him that is inuisible he susteined as if he had seen him.Fide reliquit Ægyptum, non veritus animositatem regis: invisibilem enim tamquam videns sustinuit. 28By faith he celebrated the pasch and the shedding of the blood: that he who destroyed the firstborn might not touch them.Per la fede celebrò la pasqua, e fece l'aspersione del sangue: affinché l'ucciso re de' primogeniti non toccasse gli Israeliti.By faith, he celebrated the Pasche, & the sheading of the bloud: that he vvhich destroied the first-borne, might not touche them.Fide celebravit Pascha, et sanguinis effusionem: ne qui vastabat primitiva, tangeret eos. 29By faith they passed through the Red Sea, as by dry land: which the Egyptians attempting, were swallowed up.Per la fede passarono pel mare rosso, come per terra asciutta: al che provatisi gli Egiziani, furono ingoiati.By faith they passed the redde sea as it vvere by the drie land: vvhich the Aegyptians assaying, vvere deuoured.Fide transierunt mare Rubrum tamquam per aridam terram: quod experti Ægyptii, devorati sunt. 30By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, by the going round them seven days.Per la fede caddero le mura di Gerico, fattone il giro per sette giorni.By faith the vvalles of Iericho fel dovvne, by the circuting of seuen daies.Fide muri Jericho corruerunt, circuitu dierum septem. 31By faith Rahab the harlot perished not with the unbelievers, receiving the spies with peace.Per la fede Rahab meretrice non perì con gl' increduli, avendo amorevolmente accolti gli esploratori.By faith, Rahab the harlot perished not vvith the incredulous, receiuing the spies vvith peace.Fide Rahab meretrix non periit cum incredulis, excipiens exploratores cum pace. 32And what shall I yet say? For the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, Barac, Samson, Jephthe, David, Samuel, and the prophets:E che dirò io ancora? imperocché mancherammi il tempo a raccontare di Gedeone, di Barac, di Sansone, di Jefte, di Davidde, di Samuele, e de' profeti:And vvhat shal I yet say? For the time vvil faile me telling of Gedeon, Barac, Sampson, Iephtè, Dauid Samuël, & the prophets:Et quid adhuc dicam ? deficiet enim me tempus enarrantem de Gedeon, Barac, Samson, Jephte, David, Samuel, et prophetis: 33Who by faith conquered kingdoms, wrought justice, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,I quali per la fede debellarono i regni, operarono la giustizia, conseguirono le promesse, turarono le gole a' leoni,vvho by faith ouercame kingdōs, vvrought iustice, obteined promises, stopped the mouthes of lions,qui per fidem vicerunt regna, operati sunt justitiam, adepti sunt repromissiones, obturaverunt ora leonum, 34Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, recovered strength from weakness, became valiant in battle, put to flight the armies of foreigners.Estinsero la violenza dei fuoco, schivarono il taglio della spada, guarirono dalle malattie, diventarono forti in guerra, misero in fuga eserciti stranieri:extinguished the force of fire, repelled the edge of the svvord, recouered of their infirmitie, vvere made strong in battel, turned avvay the campe of forainers:extinxerunt impetum ignis, effugerunt aciem gladii, convaluerunt de infirmitate, fortes facti sunt in bello, castra verterunt exterorum:

35Women received their dead raised to life again. But others were racked, not accepting deliverance, that they might find a better resurrection.Riebber le donne i loro morti risuscitati. Altri poi furono stirati, non accettando la liberazione, per ottenere una risurrezione migliore.vvomen receiued of resurrection their dead, and others vvere racked, not accepting redemption, that they might finde a better resurrection.acceperunt mulieres de resurrectione mortuos suos: alii autem distenti sunt non suscipientes redemptionem ut meliorem invenirent resurrectionem. 36And others had trial of mockeries and stripes: moreover also of bands and prisons.Altri poi provarono e gli scherni, e le battiture, e di più le catene, e le prigioni:And others had trial of mockeries and stripes, moreouer also of bādes & prisons:Alii vero ludibria, et verbera experti, insuper et vincula, et carceres: 37They were stoned, they were cut asunder, they were tempted, they were put to death by the sword, they wandered about in sheepskins, in goatskins, being in want, distressed, afflicted:Furono lapidati, furon segati, furon tentati, perirono sotto la spada, andaron raminghi, coperti di pelli di pecora, e di capra, mendichi, angustiati, afflitti:they vvere stoned, they vvere hevved, they vvere tempted, they died in the slaughter of the svvord, they vvent about in sheep-skinnes, in goates skinnes, needy, in distresse, afflicted:lapidati sunt, secti sunt, tentati sunt, in occisione gladii mortui sunt, circuierunt in melotis, in pellibus caprinis, egentes, angustiati, afflicti: 38Of whom the world was not worthy: wandering in deserts, in mountains and in dens and in caves of the earth.Coloro, de' quali il mondo non era degno: errando pe' deserti, e per le montagne, e nelle spelonche, e caverne della terra.of vvhom the vvorld vvas not vvorthie. vvandering in desertes, in mountaines and dennes, and in caues of the earth.quibus dignus non erat mundus: in solitudinibus errantes, in montibus, in speluncis, et in cavernis terræ. 39And all these, being approved by the testimony of faith, received not the promise:E tutti questi lodati colla testimonianza renduta alla loro fede, non conseguirono la promissione,And al these being approued by the testimonie of faith, receiued not the promise,Et hi omnes testimonio fidei probati, non acceperunt repromissionem, 40God providing some better thing for us, that they should not be perfected without us.Avendo disposto Dio qualche cosa di meglio per noi, affinchè non fossero perfezionati senza di noi.God for vs prouiding some better thing, that they vvithout vs should not be consummate.Deo pro nobis melius aliquid providente, ut non sine nobis consummarentur.
