Hebrews 11
1 Now faith is the assurance of what we hope for and the certainty of what we do not see.
Woli elikilisha nikubha nechimali chinu anacho omunu omwanya gunu katendesha echinu chilebhe kwo kwisigilila. Nichimali che bhinu bhinu bhichali kubhonekana.
2 This is why the ancients were commended.
Kwa insonga inu bhajaji bheswe bhabhonekene ku lwelikilisha lyebhwe.
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. (aiōn g165)
Kwe likilisha echimenya ati echalo chamogelwe kwe chigambo cha Nyamuanga, koleleki chinu echibhonekana chitakolelwe ne chinu chinu chaliga nchibhonekana. (aiōn g165)
4 By faith Abel offered God a better sacrifice than Cain did. By faith he was commended as righteous when God gave approval to his gifts. And by faith he still speaks, even though he is dead.
Jabhee kwa insonga ye likisha ati Habili amusosisishe Nyamuanga ebhiyanwa bhinu bhyaliga bhiile okukila Kaini. Yabhee kwa insonga inu ati akuyibhwe kubha mulengelesi. Nyamuanga amukuyishe kulwainsonga ya bhinu asosishe. Kwa insonga eyo, Habili achali naloma, nolo kutyo afuye.
5 By faith Enoch was taken up so that he did not see 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.
Jabhee kwe likilisha ati Enoko agegelwe ingulu na atabhonekene na lufu. “Atabhonekene, kwa insonga Nyamuanga amugegele” kwa insonga jaikilwe ingulu yae ati amukondelesishe Nyamuanga achali kugegwa okuja ingulu.
6 And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who approaches Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him.
Jakabhee kutalio kwikilisha itakutulikana kumukondelesha Nyamuanga, kulwokubha unu kaja ku Nyamuanga nibhusibhusi ekilishe ati Nyamuanga alamile nati kabhayana ebhiyanwa bhanu abhamuyenja.
7 By faith Noah, when warned about things not yet seen, in godly fear built an ark to save his family. By faith he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness that comes by faith.
Yabhee kwe likilisha ati Nuhu, abhee aganyibhwe na Nyamuanga okulubhana na magambo ganu galiga gachali kubhonekana, kwe chibhalo che Nyamuanga akolele isafina koleleki akishe olwibhulo lwae. Kwo kukola kutyo, alamuye echalo nabha muli wo mwandu gwo bhulengelesi bhunu obhuja ingulu yo kwikilisha.
8 By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, without knowing where he was going.
Kulwa likilisha, Ibraimu ejile abhilikilwa, nekilisha nagenda muchalo chinu chaliga chili mwandu gwaye. Afulukile obhutamenya eyo ajaga.
9 By faith he dwelt in the promised land as a stranger in a foreign country. He lived in tents, as did Isaac and Jacob, who were heirs with him of the same promise.
Kulwa likilisha nekala muchalo cho omulago ali mugenyiNekala mumauna Ali na Isaka na Yakobo, abhali bho omwandu guliya.
10 For he was looking forward to the city with foundations, whose architect and builder is God.
Kulwokubha aliga neikanya okubhona omusi gunu omumbaki wagwo ni Nyamuanga ala enyele.
11 By faith Sarah, even though she was barren and beyond the proper age, was enabled to conceive a child, because she considered Him faithful who had promised.
Jaliga jili kwe elikilisha, Ibraimu, na Sara omwene, bhalamiye amanaga ago kugega inda nolwo kutyo bhaliga bhakokoye muno, kulwokubha bhabhwene ati Nyamuanga niwe echimali, okubha aliga abhalagile omwana we echilume.
12 And so from 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.
Kulwejo, okusokelela ku munu umwi oyo aliga alebheleye okufwa nibhebhulwa abhana about bhatakubhalwa. Bhaliga bhali bhafu lwa jinjota ja mulwile na bhafu Leo omusenyi gwa kumwalo.
13 All these people died in faith, without having received the things they were promised. However, they saw them and welcomed them from afar. And they acknowledged that they were strangers and exiles on the earth.
Bhanu bhone bhafuye bhali mulikilisha bhatolele omulago. Nawe bhagubhwene guli kula, bhaliga bhamenyele ati ni bhatusi na bhagenyi muchalo echo.
14 Now those who say such things show that they are seeking a country of their own.
Kubhanu abheganilisha kutiyo abhatula abhwelu ati abhalonda echalo chebhwe.
15 If they had been thinking of the country they had left, they would have had opportunity to return.
Bhachisanga bhacheganilisha echalo chinu bhasokele, bhakabhwene omwanya gwo okusubhayo.
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.
Nawe kutyo jili abhenda echalo cha kisi kuti cha mulwile. Kulwejo Nyamuanga atakwiswala okubhilikilwa Nyamuanga webhwe, kulwokubha abhelabhiye omusi gwebhe.
17 By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac on the altar. He who had received the promises was ready to offer his one and only son,
Jaliga jili ati kwa likilisha Ibraimu ejile asakwa nasosya Isaka. Mbe chimali unu alamile omulago akondelewe, asosisye omwana waye nyagumwi,
18 even though God had said to him, “Through Isaac your offspring will be reckoned.”
Unu alomelewe ingulu yaye, “Olwibhulo lwao olutogwa okusoka kwa Isaka.”
19 Abraham reasoned that God could raise the dead, and in a sense, he did receive Isaac back from death.
Ibraimu aliga name ya ati Nyamuanga alimwelula Isaka okusoka mubhafu, na kwa inyaika ye eminapi namulamila.
20 By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning the future.
Kwa likilisha Isaka ayanile libando Yakobo na Esau ingulu ya amagambo ganu galija.
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.
Jaliga jili ati kwa likilisha Yakobo alebheleye okufwa nayana amabhando abhana bha Yusufu. Yakobo nalamya, neyegeka ku nsimbo yaye.
22 By faith Joseph, when his end was near, spoke about the exodus of the Israelites and gave instructions about his bones.
Kulikilisha Yusufu munsiku jaye jokumalisha aikiliye ingulu ya abhana bha Israeli okusokamo muchalo cha Misiri na nabhalagilila okugega amawa gaye.
23 By faith Moses’ parents hid him for three months after his birth, because they saw that he was a beautiful child, and they were unafraid of the king’s edict.
Kulikilisha, Musa ejie ebhulwa, abhebhusi bhaye nibhamuseleka kulwokubha aliga ali mwana mulela akondele, ka bhatobhayile ichilagilo cho omukama.
24 By faith Moses, when he was grown, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter.
Kulikilisha Musa ejile akula nalema okubhilikilwa omwana wo omuasha wa Farao.
25 He chose to suffer oppression with God’s people rather than to experience the fleeting enjoyment of sin.
Nekilisha okubha mugaya lwa abhanu bha Nyamuanga, nasiga okwikondelesha mubhibhi kwo omwanya mufui.
26 He valued disgrace for Christ above the treasures of Egypt, for he was looking ahead to his reward.
Eganilisishe jinswalo jo okulubha Kristo bhubhe bhunibhi bhunene okukila ebhiyanwa bhya Misiri kulwokubha atunuye ameso gaye ku chiyanwa cho omwanya gwaye gunu oguja.
27 By faith Moses left Egypt, not fearing the king’s anger; he persevered because he saw Him who is invisible.
Kulwejo elikilisha asokelemo muchalo cha Misiri. Atobhaile ubhululu bhwa omukama Farao, kulwokubha ekomesishe neikanya okubhonana na unu aliga atakubhonekana.
28 By faith he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of blood, so that the destroyer of the firstborn would not touch Israel’s own firstborn.
Kulwe elikilisha agwatiliye Ipasaka no kusamulila amanyinga, koleleki omwiti wo omwibhulwa wokwamba, atagwatako abhebhulwa bhokwamba abhechilume abhe Echisraeli.
29 By faith the people passed through the Red Sea as on dry land; but when the Egyptians tried to follow, they were drowned.
Kulwe elikilisha bhalabhile agati ya inyanja ya Shamu lwakutyo abhatula muchalo chinu chumile. Abhamisiri bhejile bhalegeja okutulamo, nibhamilwa.
30 By faith the walls of Jericho fell, after the people had marched around them for seven days.
Kulwe elikilisha olugo lwe echikale cha Yeriko lwaguye ansi, bhejile bhamala okugwiinda ngendo musanju.
31 By faith the prostitute Rahab, because she welcomed the spies in peace, did not perish with those who were disobedient.
Kulwe elikilisha Rahabu uliya omusimbe wa muchilabho atasingalikile amwi na bhanyantongwa, kulwokubha alamiye abhapeleleji nabhabhika kisi.
32 And what more shall I say? Time will not allow me to tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, Samuel, and the prophets,
Naikeki okukila kutyo? Kulwokubha omwanya gutakwiya okusimula aga Gideoni, Barak, Samsoni, Yeftha, Daudi, Samwel ne ja bhalagi,
33 who through faith conquered kingdoms, administered justice, and gained what was promised; who shut the mouths of lions,
bhanu okulabha ku likilisha bhasingile amakama, bhakolele obhulengelesi, na bhalamiye omulago. Bhaganyishe eminwa ja jintale,
34 quenched the raging fire, and escaped the edge of the sword; who gained strength from weakness, became mighty in battle, and put foreign armies to flight.
bhasimishe amanaga go mulilo, bhebhejishe insonde ya imalo, bhaosibhwe amalwaye, bhaiga bhali bhakaka mubhulemo, na bhakolele ebhiijo bhya abhasilikale okusoka anja ye chalo chebhwe nibhibhilima.
35 Women received back their dead, raised to life again. Others were tortured and refused their release, so that they might gain a better resurrection.
Abhagasi bhalamiye abhafuye bhebhwe munjila yo bhusuluko.
36 Still others endured mocking and flogging, and even chains and imprisonment.
Abhandi bhanyansibhwe, obhutekilisibhwa okusigwa nibhetanya koleleki bhabhone okubhona obhusuluko bhunu bhuli bhwakisi muno. Abhandi bhanyansibhwe kwo kujimibhwa no kwokuchapwa, nakwokubhoywa nokutulwa mumabhoelo.
37 They were stoned, they were sawed in two, they were put to death by the sword. They went around in sheepskins and goatskins, destitute, oppressed, and mistreated.
Bhabhumilwe na mabhui. Bhatemelwe bhiinju ne misumeno. Bhetilwe kwe bhigwato. Bhagendaga kwa jinjai ja jinyabhalega na jinjayi ja jimbusi bhaliga bhalibhakene, bhagendelee mubhusasi na bhakolewe kubhibhi
38 The world was not worthy of them. They wandered in deserts and mountains, and hid in caves and holes in the ground.
(ganu echalo chaliga chiteile okolelwa abho), nibhayengela yengela mwibhala, mubhima, na mumananga na mumobho ga ansi.
39 These were all commended for their faith, yet they did not receive what was promised.
Nolo kutyo abhanu bhona bhanu bhekilisibhwe na Nyamuanga kwainsonga ye likilisha lyebhwe, bhatalamiye chinu aliga alagile.
40 God had planned something better for us, so that together with us they would be made perfect.
Nyamuanga elabhile okuchiyana echinu cho bhwana, koleleki atali eswe bhatakatulile kukumisibhwa.
