< Hebrews 11 >
1 Now our trust in God is the guarantee of what we hope for, the evidence of what we can't see.
Dafawaneyale dawa: su hou da agoaiwane gala. Ninia da hobea misunu dafawane hamoma: beyale dawa: lusu da dafawane misunu ninia dafawaneyale dawa: be amola siga hame ba: su liligi ninia dafawaneyale dawa: be.
2 People who lived long ago trusted God and this is what gained them God's approval.
Siba fi dunu mogili da amo dafawaneyale dawa: su hou lalegaguiba: le, Gode da ilima hahawane galu.
3 Through our trust in God we understand that the whole universe was created by God's command, that what can be seen was made out of what cannot be seen. (aiōn )
Gode da Ea Sia: (amo da hame ba: su liligi) amoga E da osobo bagade, mu amola liligi huluane (amo da siga ba: su liligi), amo hahamoi. Ninia da dafawaneyale dawa: su hou lalegaguiba: le amo dawa: (aiōn )
4 By trusting him Abel offered God a better sacrifice than Cain, and as a result God identified him as someone who lived right. God showed this by accepting his offering. Even though Abel has been dead for a long time, he still speaks to us through what he did.
A: ibele da dafawaneyale dawa: su hou lalegaguiba: le, gobele salasu liligi amo da Ga: ine ea iasu baligi, Godema i. Ea dafawaneyale dawa: su hou ba: beba: le, Gode da ea iasu hahawane ba: beba: le, E da A: ibele, moloidafa hamoi dunu ba: i. A: ibele da hemonega bogoi dagoi, be ea dafawaneyale dawa: su hou da wali eso ninima olelesu liligi gala.
5 By trusting God Enoch was taken to heaven so he didn't experience death. He couldn't be found on earth because God took him to heaven. Before this happened he was known as someone God was pleased with.
Inoge da dafawaneyale dawa: su hou lalegaguiba: le, e da mae bogole, dunu mae ba: ma: ne, Gode da e muagado lale gadoi. Gode Sia: da agoane dedei diala, “Gode da Inoge ea hou hahawane ba: lalu, Hebene sogega lale gadoi.”
6 You can't expect God to be pleased with you if you don't trust him! Anyone who comes to God must believe that God exists, and that he rewards those who are searching for him.
Gode da dunu amo da dafawaneyale dawa: su hou hame lalegagusia, hahawane ba: mu hamedei ba: sa. Nowa dunu da Godema misusa: dawa: sea, e da Gode da esala amola nowa da Gode Ea hou hogoi helesea, Gode E da ema bidi imunu, amo dafawaneyale dawa: beba: le fawane Godema doaga: mu logo ba: mu.
7 Noah trusted God, and was warned by him about things that had never happened before. Because Noah paid serious attention to what God said, he constructed an ark to save his family. By trusting God, Noah showed that the world was wrong, and received the reward of being set right by God.
Nowa: da dafawaneyale dawa: beba: le, e da Gode Ea sisasu amo hobea misunu siga hame ba: su hou, amo nabi. E da Gode sia: nababeba: le, dusagai hamone, e amola ea sosogo fi gaga: i dagoi ba: i. Amaiba: le, osobo bagade fi dunu huluane ilia fofada: nanu, bogosu dabe iasu lai. Be Gode da Nowa: ea dafawaneyale dawa: su hou ba: beba: le, amo dunu afadenene bu moloidafa hamoi ba: i.
8 Through trusting God Abraham obeyed when God called him to go to the land God was going to give him. He left, not knowing where he was going.
A: ibalaha: me da dafawaneyale dawa: su hou lalegaguiba: le, soge amo da Gode da ema imunu ilegele sia: i amola amoga doaga: musa: gadili masa: ne sia: i, e da Gode Ea sia: nabawane hamoi. E da ea soge yolesili, soge amo e da hame dawa: i soge, amoga doaga: musa: asi.
9 Trusting in God he lived in the promised land—but as a foreigner, living in tents, together with Isaac and Jacob who shared with him in inheriting the same promise.
E dafawaneyale dawa: beba: le, ga fi dunu agoane, soge amo Gode da ema hobea imunu ilegele sia: i, amo ganodini esalu. E da abula diasu ganodini esalu. Ea mano, Aisage amola Ya: igobe, da Gode Ea hahawane dogolegele iasu lai dagoi. Ela amolawane da abula diasu ganodini esalu.
10 For Abraham was looking forward to a city built on foundations that last, with God as its builder and maker.
A: ibalaha: me da moilai bai bagade amo Gode da hahamoi, hamedafa mugulumu moilai, amo ganodini esalumusa: e da ouesalebeba: le, gadili asili, abula diasu ganodini esalu.
11 By her trust in God even Sarah herself was given the ability to conceive a child though she was too old, because she trusted God who had made the promise.
A: ibalaha: me da mano hamomu hamedene da: i hamoi amola Sela da da: i hamoiba: le, mano lalelegemu hamedei ba: i. Be A: ibalaha: me da Gode da ema imunu ilegele sia: i dafawaneyale dawa: beba: le, e da mano hamoi dagoi.
12 That is why the descendants of Abraham, (who was as good as dead!), became as numerous as the stars of heaven, as countless as the sand of the sea-shore.
A: ibalaha: me ea bogomu da gadenene ba: i. Be amo dunu egaga fi misi dunu ilia da gasumuni idi defele amola wayabo bagade bega: sa: i idi (idimu hame gala), defele ba: sa.
13 They all died still trusting in God. Though they didn't receive the things God promised, they were still looking for them as it were from a distance and welcomed them, acknowledging that on this earth they were foreigners, people just passing through.
Amo dunu huluane da dafawaneyale dawa: su lalegaguiwane bogoi. Ilia da Gode Ea imunu ilegele sia: i liligi hame ba: i. Be fedege agoane, ilia amo liligi sedagaga manebe ba: i. Ba: beba: le, ilia hahawane ba: i. Ilia da ga fi dunu agoane, osobo bagadega ahoanebe, dunu huluane nabima: ne sia: su.
14 People who say such things make it clear that they're looking for a country of their own.
Agoaiwane sia: su dunu da ilia sogedafa amoga fimusa: hogosa, amo noga: le olelesa.
15 For if they cared about the country they'd left behind, they could have returned.
Ilia yolesi soge amoga bu sinidigimu logo hanaiwane ba: sa: besa: le, ilia soge yolesi amo bu hame dawa: lalu.
16 But they're looking for a better country instead, a heavenly country. That is why God isn't disappointed with them, and is happy to be called their God, for he has built a city for them.
Be ilia da baligili noga: i soge hogosu, amo Hebene soge. Amaiba: le, Gode da ilima esaloma: ne moilai bai bagade hahamoi dagoiba: le, ilia da Ema “Ninia Gode” dio asuliba: le, Gode da hame gogosiasa. Bai ilia hobea misunu dafawane hamoma: beyale dawa: lusu dafawaneyale dawa: i.
17 Abraham trusted God when he was tested and offered Isaac to God. Abraham, who had accepted God's promises, was still ready to offer to God his only son,
A: ibalaha: me da dafawaneyale dawa: su hou lalegaguiba: le, Gode da ema adoba: su oleleloba, e da eagofe Aisage gobele salasu Godema imunusa: dawa: i galu. Gode da A: ibalaha: mema fawane hobea imunu ilegele sia: i, be e da mae hihini ea mano Godema imunusa: dawa: i galu.
18 even though he'd been told, “It's through Isaac that your descendants will be counted.”
Gode da musa: ema sia: i galu, “Aisage ea mano lalelegemuba: le, digaga fi amo Na dima imunu ilegele sia: i defele da bagade ba: mu.”
19 Abraham had thought it through and decided that God could bring Isaac back to life from the dead. In a sense that's what did happen—Abraham received Isaac back from the dead.
Gode da Aisage ea bogoi bu wa: legadolesimusa: defele esala, amo A: ibalaha: me da dafawaneyale dawa: i. Amaiba: le, e da fedege agoane, Aisage bogole, bu ea mano esaloma: ne wa: legadoi, amo ba: i.
20 Trusting in God, Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau in regard to what the future would bring.
Aisage da dafawaneyale dawa: su hou lalegaguiba: le, e da Ya: igobe amola Iso elama Gode da hobea elama hahawane imunu ilegele sia: i.
21 Trusting in God, Jacob as he was dying blessed each of Joseph's sons, and worshiped God, leaning on his staff.
Ya: igobe da dafawaneyale dawa: su hou lalegaguiba: le, ea bogomu gadenenoba, e da Yousefe ea mano elama, ela da Gode Ea hahawane imunu hou ba: mu sia: i. E da ea daguluga ili, Godema nodone sia: ne gadoi.
22 Trusting in God, Joseph too, when his own death approached, spoke about the exodus of the Israelites, and gave instructions about what to do with his bones.
Yousefe da dafawaneyale dawa: su hou lalegaguiba: le, ea bogomu gadenenoba, e da Isala: ili dunu da Idibidi yolesili ga masunu sia: i amola ea gasa gaguli masa: ne sia: i.
23 Trusting in God, Moses' parents hid him for three months after he was born. They recognized he was a special child. They weren't afraid to go against what the king had commanded.
Mousese ea ame amola ada, da dafawaneyale dawa: beba: le, Mousese da lalelegeloba, ela da oubi udiana amoga e wamolegei. E da mano noga: idafa ela ba: beba: le, ela mae beda: iwane Felou ea sema hame nabi.
24 Trusting in God, Moses, when he grew up, refused to be known as the adopted son of Pharaoh's daughter.
Mousese da dafawaneyale dawa: beba: le, e da asigilabeba: le, e da Felou idiwi amo ea fofoi mano esalumu higa: i.
25 Instead he chose to share in the sufferings of God's people rather than to enjoy the temporary pleasures of sin.
E da eso bagahame wadela: i hou amo ganodini esalumu higa: iba: le, Gode Ea fi dunu defele gilisili se nabimu hanai galu.
26 He counted the rejection he experienced from following Christ to be of far greater value than the wealth of Egypt—because he was focused on the reward to come.
E da Gode Ea hobea imunu bidi dawa: beba: le, e da Idibidi muni amola liligi ida: iwane mae dawa: le, Gelesu Ea hawa: hamomuba: le se nabasu da baligili hou ida: iwane dawa: i galu.
27 Trusting in God, he left Egypt and wasn't scared of Pharaoh's anger—he kept going with his eyes fixed on the invisible God.
Mousese da dafawaneyale dawa: su hou lalegaguiba: le, e da Idibidi hina bagade ea ougi hou amoba: le mae beda: ne, Idibidi soge yolesili asi. E da fedege agoane, siga hame ba: su Gode amo ba: beba: le, hame beba: i.
28 Trusting in God he observed the Passover and the sprinkling of blood, so that the destroying angel would not touch the Israelites.
E da dafawaneyale dawa: beba: le, Baligisu Lolo Nasu hemoi. Ea sia: beba: le, Bogosu A: igele da Isala: ili magobo dunu mano mae medole legema: ne, Isala: ili dunu da ilia logoga sibi maga: me fogaga: la: i.
29 Trusting in God the Israelites crossed the Red Sea as if it were dry land. When the Egyptians attempted to do the same they were drowned.
Isala: ili dunu da dafawaneyale dawa: beba: le, Gode da Maga: me Hano ganodini hafoga: iba: le, degesu logo hamoi. Amoga, ilia da hahawane degei dagoi. Be Idibidi dunu da degemusa: dawa: beba: le, huluane hanoga na dagoi ba: i.
30 Trusting in God, the Israelites marched around the walls of Jericho for seven days, and the walls fell down.
Isala: ili dunu da dafawaneyale dawa: su hou lalegaguiba: le, ili da Yeligou moilai bai bagade eso fesuale sisiga: le mogodigili, Yeligou gagoi da mugululi sa: i dagoi.
31 Trusting in God, Rahab the prostitute didn't die with those who rejected God, because she had welcomed the Israelite spies in peace.
Aie heda: i uda La: ihabe da dafawaneyale dawa: beba: le, Isala: ili desega misi dunu aowale, wamolegei. Amaiba: le, Gode Ea hou hame nabasu dunu da bogogia: loba, e da hame bogoi.
32 What other examples should I give? I don't have time to talk about Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah; about David, Samuel, and the prophets.
Be bu sia: mu da hamedei. Olelemu da hamedeiba: le, na da Gidione, Bala: ge, Sa: masane, Yefeda, Da: ibidi, Sa: miuele amola balofede dunu, amo ilia hou hame olelemu.
33 Because of their trust in God they conquered kingdoms, did what was good and right, received God's promises, shut the mouths of lions,
Be ilia da dafawaneyale dawa: beba: le, soge fi bagade amoga gegenanu, hasalasu. Ilia hou ida: iwane hamobeba: le, Gode Ea imunu ilegele sia: i liligi afae afae lai. Ilia gasonasu laione wa: me ilia lafi ga: si.
34 put out blazing fires, escaped being killed by the sword, were weak but made strong, did mighty deeds in war, and routed enemy armies.
Ilia lalu bagade haba: dosu. Dunu da ili gobiheiga medomusa: dawa: loba, ilia hobea: i. Ilia da gasa hame ba: i, be bu afadenene gasa bagade hamoi. Ilia gegesu ganodini gasa bagade ba: su. Ilia ga fi dunu ilia gegesu dunu fane legei.
35 Women were given their dead family members back through resurrection. Others were tortured, refusing to compromise and be pardoned, because they wanted to be part of a better resurrection.
Dafawaneyale dawa: beba: le, uda da ilia fi dunu bogoi amo uhini wa: legadoi ba: i. Eno, ilia da eso huluane mae bogole Fifi Ahoanusudafa lamu hanaiba: le, ilia se iasu diasu logo doasi ba: loba hame hobea: i. Be dunu ilima se iawane medole legei, amo ilia hame higa: i.
36 Yet others suffered insults and whippings; they were put in chains and imprisoned.
Mogili, eno dunu da ilima gadesu amola fasu. Dunu eno da mogili sia: inega la: gili, se iasu diasu ganodini sali.
37 Some were stoned, cut in pieces, tempted, killed by the sword. Some dressed in sheepskins and goatskins: destitute, oppressed, and mistreated.
Mogili, dunu eno da igiga medoi. Mogili ilia soga mogoa hedofasu. Mogili ilia gobihei bagade amoga medole legei. Ilia da: i nabadowane, sibi o goudi amo ea gadofo houga: i amo fawane salawane, hame gaguiwane, se nabawane, enoga fasawane, udigili ahoanu.
38 The world was not worthy to have such people who wandered in the deserts and mountains, living in caves and holes in the ground.
Ilia da noga: le hamobeba: le, osobo bagade da ilia amo ganodini esaloma: ne defele hame ba: sa. Ilia ga fi dunu agoane, udigili gele gelabo amola uli dogoi amo ganodini golaiwane udigili ahoanu.
39 All of these people, even though they had God's approval, didn't receive what God had promised.
Ilia da dafawaneyale dawa: su hou lalegaguiba: le, mae dafane, ilia hou da ida: iwane ba: su. Be ilia da Gode Ea dafawane imunu ilegele sia: i liligi hame lai.
40 God has given us something even better, so that they can't be complete without us.
Bai Gode da baligiliwane ninima imunusa: , amola ilia amola ninia, gilisili moloidafa E da hamomusa: dawa: beba: le, ilia da amo imunu ilegele sia: i liligi hame ba: i.
