Ebrei 11

Riveduta 1927 (Italian) RIV

1 Or la fede è certezza di cose che si sperano, dimostrazione di cose che non si vedono.

2 Infatti, per essa fu resa buona testimonianza agli antichi.

3 Per fede intendiamo che i mondi sono stati formati dalla parola di Dio; cosicché le cose che si vedono non sono state tratte da cose apparenti.

4 Per fede Abele offerse a Dio un sacrificio più eccellente di quello di Caino; per mezzo d’essa gli fu resa testimonianza ch’egli era giusto, quando Dio attestò di gradire le sue offerte; e per mezzo d’essa, benché morto, egli parla ancora.

5 Per fede Enoc fu trasportato perché non vedesse la morte; e non fu più trovato, perché Dio l’avea trasportato; poiché avanti che fosse trasportato fu di lui testimoniato ch’egli era piaciuto a Dio.

6 Or senza fede è impossibile piacergli; poiché chi s’accosta a Dio deve credere ch’Egli è, e che è il rimuneratore di quelli che lo cercano.

7 Per fede Noè, divinamente avvertito di cose che non si vedevano ancora, mosso da pio timore, preparò un’arca per la salvezza della propria famiglia; e per essa fede condannò il mondo e fu fatto erede della giustizia che si ha mediante la fede.

8 Per fede Abramo, essendo chiamato, ubbidì, per andarsene in un luogo ch’egli avea da ricevere in eredità; e partì senza sapere dove andava.

9 Per fede soggiornò nella terra promessa, come in terra straniera, abitando in tende con Isacco e Giacobbe, eredi con lui della stessa promessa,

10 perché aspettava la città che ha i veri fondamenti e il cui architetto e costruttore è Dio.

11 Per fede Sara anch’ella, benché fuori d’età, ricevette forza di concepire, perché reputò fedele Colui che avea fatto la promessa.

12 E perciò, da uno solo, e già svigorito, è nata una discendenza numerosa come le stelle del cielo, come la rena lungo la riva del mare che non si può contare.

13 In fede moriron tutti costoro, senz’aver ricevuto le cose promesse, ma avendole vedute e salutate da lontano, e avendo confessato che erano forestieri e pellegrini sulla terra.

14 Poiché quelli che dicon tali cose dimostrano che cercano una patria.

15 E se pur si ricordavano di quella ond’erano usciti, certo avean tempo di ritornarvi.

16 Ma ora ne desiderano una migliore, cioè una celeste; perciò Iddio non si vergogna d’esser chiamato il loro Dio, poiché ha preparato loro una città.

17 Per fede Abramo, quando fu provato, offerse Isacco; ed egli, che avea ricevuto le promesse, offerse il suo unigenito: egli, a cui era stato detto:

18 E’ in Isacco che ti sarà chiamata una progenie,

19 ritenendo che Dio è potente anche da far risuscitare dai morti; ond’è che lo riebbe per una specie di risurrezione.

20 Per fede Isacco diede a Giacobbe e ad Esaù una benedizione concernente cose future.

21 Per fede Giacobbe, morente, benedisse ciascuno dei figliuoli di Giuseppe, e adorò appoggiato in cima al suo bastone.

22 Per fede Giuseppe, quando stava per morire, fece menzione dell’esodo de’ figliuoli d’Israele, e diede ordini intorno alle sue ossa.

23 Per fede Mosè, quando nacque, fu tenuto nascosto per tre mesi dai suoi genitori, perché vedevano che il bambino era bello; e non temettero il comandamento del re.

24 Per fede Mosè, divenuto grande, rifiutò d’esser chiamato figliuolo della figliuola di Faraone,

25 scegliendo piuttosto d’esser maltrattato col popolo di Dio, che di godere per breve tempo i piaceri del peccato;

26 stimando egli il vituperio di Cristo ricchezza maggiore de’ tesori d’Egitto, perché riguardava alla rimunerazione.

27 Per fede abbandonò l’Egitto, non temendo l’ira del re, perché stette costante, come vedendo Colui che è invisibile.

28 Per fede celebrò la Pasqua e fece lo spruzzamento del sangue affinché lo sterminatore dei primogeniti non toccasse quelli degli Israeliti.

29 Per fede passarono il Mar Rosso come per l’asciutto; il che tentando fare gli Egizi, furono inabissati.

30 Per fede caddero le mura di Gerico, dopo essere state circuite per sette giorni.

31 Per fede Raab, la meretrice, non perì coi disubbidienti, avendo accolto le spie in pace.

32 E che dirò di più? poiché il tempo mi verrebbe meno se narrassi di Gedeone, di Barac, di Sansone, di Jefte, di Davide, di Samuele e dei profeti,

33 i quali per fede vinsero regni, operarono giustizia, ottennero adempimento di promesse, turaron le gole di leoni,

34 spensero la violenza del fuoco, scamparono al taglio della spada, guarirono da infermità, divennero forti in guerra, misero in fuga eserciti stranieri.

35 Le donne ricuperarono per risurrezione i loro morti; e altri furon martirizzati non avendo accettata la loro liberazione affin di ottenere una risurrezione migliore;

36 altri patirono scherni e flagelli, e anche catene e prigione.

37 Furon lapidati, furon segati, furono uccisi di spada; andarono attorno coperti di pelli di pecora e di capra; bisognosi, afflitti,

38 maltrattati (di loro il mondo non era degno), vaganti per deserti e monti e spelonche e per le grotte della terra.

39 E tutti costoro, pur avendo avuto buona testimonianza per la loro fede, non ottennero quello ch’era stato promesso,

40 perché Iddio aveva in vista per noi qualcosa di meglio, ond’essi non giungessero alla perfezione senza di noi.

New International Version NIV

1 Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.

2 This is what the ancients were commended for.

3 By 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.

4 By faith Abel brought God a better offering than Cain did. By faith he was commended as righteous, when God spoke well of his offerings. And by faith Abel still speaks, even though he is dead.

5 By 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.

6 And 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.

7 By 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 is in keeping with faith.

8 By 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.

9 By 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.

10 For he was looking forward to the city with foundations, whose architect and builder is God.

11 And by faith even Sarah, who was past childbearing age, was enabled to bear children because she considered him faithful who had made the promise.

12 And 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.

13 All 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, admitting that they were foreigners and strangers on earth.

14 People who say such things show that they are looking for a country of their own.

15 If they had been thinking of the country they had left, they would have had opportunity to return.

16 Instead, 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.

17 By faith Abraham, when God tested him, offered Isaac as a sacrifice. He who had embraced the promises was about to sacrifice his one and only son,

18 even though God had said to him, “It is through Isaac that your offspring will be reckoned.”

19 Abraham reasoned that God could even raise the dead, and so in a manner of speaking he did receive Isaac back from death.

20 By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau in regard to their future.

21 By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of Joseph’s sons, and worshiped as he leaned on the top of his staff.

22 By faith Joseph, when his end was near, spoke about the exodus of the Israelites from Egypt and gave instructions concerning the burial of his bones.

23 By 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.

24 By faith Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be known as the son of Pharaoh’s daughter.

25 He chose to be mistreated along with the people of God rather than to enjoy the fleeting pleasures of sin.

26 He regarded disgrace for the sake of Christ as of greater value than the treasures of Egypt, because he was looking ahead to his reward.

27 By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the king’s anger; he persevered because he saw him who is invisible.

28 By faith he kept the Passover and the application of blood, so that the destroyer of the firstborn would not touch the firstborn of Israel.

29 By faith the people passed through the Red Sea as on dry land; but when the Egyptians tried to do so, they were drowned.

30 By faith the walls of Jericho fell, after the army had marched around them for seven days.

31 By faith the prostitute Rahab, because she welcomed the spies, was not killed with those who were disobedient.

32 And what more shall I say? I do not have time to tell about Gideon, Barak, Samson and Jephthah, about David and Samuel and the prophets,

33 who through faith conquered kingdoms, administered justice, and gained what was promised; who shut the mouths of lions,

34 quenched 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.

35 Women received back their dead, raised to life again. There were others who were tortured, refusing to be released so that they might gain an even better resurrection.

36 Some faced jeers and flogging, and even chains and imprisonment.

37 They were put to death by stoning; they were sawed in two; they were killed by the sword. They went about in sheepskins and goatskins, destitute, persecuted and mistreated—

38 the world was not worthy of them. They wandered in deserts and mountains, living in caves and in holes in the ground.

39 These were all commended for their faith, yet none of them received what had been promised,

40 since God had planned something better for us so that only together with us would they be made perfect.
