WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Vera je, pak, tvrdo čekanje onog čemu se nadamo, i dokazivanje onog što ne vidimo.
1 ES pues la fe la sustancia de las cosas que se esperan, la demostración de las cosas que no se ven.
1 Now faith is assurance of things hoped for, proof of things not seen.
2 Jer u njoj stari dobiše svedočanstvo.
2 Porque por ella alcanzaron testimonio los antiguos.
2 For by this, the elders obtained approval.
3 Verom poznajemo da je svet rečju Božjom svršen, da je sve što vidimo iz ništa postalo.
3 Por la fe entendemos haber sido compuestos los siglos por la palabra de Dios, siendo hecho lo que se ve, de lo que no se veía.
3 By faith we understand that the universe has been framed by the word of God, so that what is seen has not been made out of things which are visible.
4 Verom prinese Avelj Bogu veću žrtvu nego Kain, kroz koju dobi svedočanstvo da je pravednik, kad Bog posvedoči za dare njegove; i kroz nju on mrtav još govori.
4 Por la fe Abel ofreció á Dios mayor sacrificio que Caín, por la cual alcanzó testimonio de que era justo, dando Dios testimonio á sus presentes; y difunto, aun habla por ella.
4 By faith Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he had testimony given to him that he was righteous, God testifying with respect to his gifts; and through it he, being dead, still speaks.
5 Verom bi Enoh prenesen da ne vidi smrt; i ne nađe se, jer ga Bog premesti, jer pre nego ga premesti, dobi svedočanstvo da ugodi Bogu.
5 Por la fe Enoc fué traspuesto para no ver muerte, y no fué hallado, porque lo traspuso Dios. Y antes que fuese traspuesto, tuvo testimonio de haber agradado á Dios.
5 By faith Enoch was taken away, so that he wouldn’t see death, and he was not found, because God translated him. For he has had testimony given to him that before his translation he had been well pleasing to God.
6 A bez vere nije moguće ugoditi Bogu; jer onaj koji hoće da dođe k Bogu, valja da veruje da ima Bog i da plaća onima koji Ga traže.
6 Empero sin fe es imposible agradar á Dios; porque es menester que el que á Dios se allega, crea que le hay, y que es galardonador de los que le buscan.
6 Without faith it is impossible to be well pleasing to him, for he who comes to God must believe that he exists, and that he is a rewarder of those who seek him.
7 Verom Noje primivši zapovest i pobojavši se onog što još ne vide, načini kovčeg za spasenje doma svog, kojim osudi sav svet, i posta naslednik pravde po veri.
7 Por la fe Noé, habiendo recibido respuesta de cosas que aun no se veían, con temor aparejó el arca en que su casa se salvase: por la cual [fe] condenó al mundo, y fué hecho heredero de la justicia que es por la fe.
7 By faith Noah, being warned about things not yet seen, moved with godly fear, prepared a ship for the saving of his house, through which he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith.
8 Verom posluša Avraam kad bi pozvan da iziđe u zemlju koju htede da primi u nasledstvo, i iziđe ne znajući kuda ide.
8 Por la fe Abraham, siendo llamado, obedeció para salir al lugar que había de recibir por heredad; y salió sin saber dónde iba.
8 By faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed to go out to the place which he was to receive for an inheritance. He went out, not knowing where he went.
9 Verom dođe Avraam u zemlju obećanu, kao u tuđu, i u kolibama življaše s Isakom i s Jakovom, sunaslednicima obećanja tog.
9 Por fe habitó en la tierra prometida como en [tierra] ajena, morando en cabañas con Isaac y Jacob, herederos juntamente de la misma promesa:
9 By faith he lived as an alien in the land of promise, as in a land not his own, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise.
10 Jer čekaše grad koji ima temelje, kome je zidar i Tvorac Bog.
10 Porque esperaba ciudad con fundamentos, el artífice y hacedor de la cual es Dios.
10 For he was looking for the city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God.
11 Verom i sama Sara nerotkinja primi silu da zatrudni i rodi preko vremena starosti; jer držaše za vernog Onog koji obeća.
11 Por la fe también la misma Sara, siendo estéril, recibió fuerza para concebir simiente; y parió aun fuera del tiempo de la edad, porque creyó ser fiel el que [lo] había prometido.
11 By faith even Sarah herself received power to conceive, and she bore a child when she was past age, since she counted him faithful who had promised.
12 Zato se i rodiše od jednog, još gotovo mrtvog, kao zvezde nebeske mnoštvom, i kao nebrojeni pesak pokraj mora.
12 Por lo cual también, de uno, y ése ya amortecido, salieron como las estrellas del cielo en multitud, y como la arena innumerable que está á la orilla de la mar.
12 Therefore as many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as innumerable as the sand which is by the sea shore, were fathered by one man, and him as good as dead.
13 U veri pomreše svi ovi ne primivši obećanja, nego ga videvši izdaleka, i poklonivši mu se, i priznavši da su gosti i došljaci na zemlji.
13 Conforme á la fe murieron todos éstos sin haber recibido las promesas, sino mirándolas de lejos, y creyéndolas, y saludándolas, y confesando que eran peregrinos y advenedizos sobre la tierra.
13 These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them and embraced them from afar, and having confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.
14 Jer koji tako govore pokazuju da traže otačanstvo.
14 Porque los que esto dicen, claramente dan á entender que buscan una patria.
14 For those who say such things make it clear that they are seeking a country of their own.
15 I da bi se oni opomenuli onog iz kog iziđoše, imali bi vreme da se vrate.
15 Que si se acordaran de aquella de donde salieron, cierto tenían tiempo para volverse:
15 If indeed they had been thinking of that country from which they went out, they would have had enough time to return.
16 Ali sad bolje žele, to jest nebesko. Zato se Bog ne stidi njih nazvati se Bog njihov; jer im pripravi grad.
16 Empero deseaban la mejor, es á saber, la celestial; por lo cual Dios no se avergüenza de llamarse Dios de ellos: porque les había aparejado ciudad.
16 But now they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed of them, to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them.
17 Verom privede Avraam Isaka kad bi kušan, i jedinorodnoga prinošaše, pošto beše primio obećanje,
17 Por fe ofreció Abraham á Isaac cuando fué probado, y ofrecía al unigénito el que había recibido las promesas,
17 By faith, Abraham, being tested, offered up Isaac. Yes, he who had gladly received the promises was offering up his only born son,
18 u kome beše kazano: U Isaku nazvaće ti se seme;
18 Habiéndole sido dicho: En Isaac te será llamada simiente:
18 to whom it was said, “Your offspring will be accounted as from Isaac,”
19 pomislivši da je Bog kadar i iz mrtvih vaskrsnuti; zato ga i uze za priliku.
19 Pensando que aun de los muertos [es] Dios poderoso para levantar; de donde también le volvió á recibir por figura.
19 concluding that God is able to raise up even from the dead. Figuratively speaking, he also did receive him back from the dead.

24 Por fe Moisés, hecho ya grande, rehusó ser llamado hijo de la hija de Faraón;
24 By faith Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter,
25 i volje stradati s narodom Božijim, negoli imati zemaljsku sladost greha:
25 Escogiendo antes ser afligido con el pueblo de Dios, que gozar de comodidades temporales de pecado.
25 choosing rather to share ill treatment with God’s people than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a time,
26 Državši sramotu Hristovu za veće bogatstvo od svega blaga misirskog; jer gledaše na platu.
26 Teniendo por mayores riquezas el vituperio de Cristo que los tesoros de los Egipcios; porque miraba á la remuneración.
26 considering the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt; for he looked to the reward.
27 Verom ostavi Misir, ne pobojavši se ljutine careve; jer se držaše Onog koji se ne vidi, kao da Ga viđaše.

32 ¿Y qué más digo? porque el tiempo me faltará contando de Gedeón, de Barac, de Samsón, de Jephté, de David, de Samuel, y de los profetas:
32 What more shall I say? For the time would fail me if I told of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, Samuel, and the prophets—
33 koji verom pobediše carstva, učiniše pravdu, dobiše obećanja, zatvoriše usta lavovima,
33 Que por fe ganaron reinos, obraron justicia, alcanzaron promesas, taparon las bocas de leones,
33 who through faith subdued kingdoms, worked out righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,
34 ugasiše silu ognjenu, pobegoše od oštrica mača, ojačaše od nemoći, postaše jaki u bitkama, rasteraše vojske tuđe;
34 Apagaron fuegos impetuosos, evitaron filo de cuchillo, convalecieron de enfermedades, fueron hechos fuertes en batallas, trastornaron campos de extraños.

36 Others were tried by mocking and scourging, yes, moreover by bonds and imprisonment.
37 kamenjem pobijeni biše, pretrveni biše, iskušani biše, od mača pomreše; idoše u kožusima i u kozjim kožama, u sirotinji, u nevolji, u sramoti;
37 Fueron apedreados, aserrados, tentados, muertos á cuchillo; anduvieron de acá para allá [cubiertos] de pieles de ovejas y de cabras, pobres, angustiados, maltratados;
37 They were stoned. They were sawn apart. They were tempted. They were slain with the sword. They went around in sheep skins and in goat skins; being destitute, afflicted, ill-treated—
38 kojih ne beše dostojan svet, po pustinjama potucaše se, i po gorama i po pećinama i po rupama zemaljskim.
38 De los cuales el mundo no era digno; perdidos por los desiertos, por los montes, por las cuevas y por las cavernas de la tierra.

40 Proveyendo Dios alguna cosa mejor para nosotros, para que no fuesen perfeccionados sin nosotros.
40 God having provided some better thing concerning us, so that apart from us they should not be made perfect.

Why does my Bible say something different?
- Hebrews 11:21 and Genesis 47:31: Jacob’s staff or Jacob’s bed?
In the Hebrew text of Genesis 47:31 Israel bows “upon the bed’s head.” In the Septuagint he bows “on the top of his staff,” and Hebrews 11:21 quotes the Greek. The Hebrew consonants can be read either way; only the later vowel marks decide. The Orthodox Church reads “staff,” and St John of Damascus used the verse in defending the veneration of holy things.
What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
Faith needs a generous and vigorous soul, and one rising above all things of sense, and passing beyond the weakness of human reasonings. For it is not possible to become a believer, otherwise than by raising one's self above the common customs [of the world].

Let us take (for instance) Enoch, who, being found righteous in obedience, was translated, and death was never known to happen to him. Noah, being found faithful, preached regeneration to the world through his ministry; and the Lord saved by him the animals which, with one accord, entered into the ark.
… those places and times--being itself the while the same always and everywhere, not one thing in one place, and another in another; according to which Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and Moses, and David, and all those commended by the mouth of God were righteous, but were judged unrighteous by foolish men, judging out of man's judgment, and gauging by …
