Hebrews 11
1 Now our trust in God is the guarantee of what we hope for, the evidence of what we can't see.
Ammanoy guussay, demmana gidi ufayssan ammanettidi naagiyabaanne nu be7onnabaa be7iyada oothidi ekkiyabaa.
2 People who lived long ago trusted God and this is what gained them God's approval.
Beni aawati ammanon Xoossaafe markkatethi ekkidosona.
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 g165)
Alamey Xoossaa qaalan medhettidayssa nu ammanon eroos. Qassi benttiyabay benttonnabaappe medhettis. (aiōn g165)
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.
Aabeli Qaa7elayssafe aadhdhiya yarshsho Xoossaas yarshshiday ammanonna. Xoossay Aabela imuwa ufayttidi ekkida wode I xillo gididayssa markkattis. Aabeli hari attoshin, hayqqidikka ba ammanuwan ha77i gakkanaw odees.
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.
Heenokey hayqqonna salo biday ammanonna. Xoossay iya ekkida gisho oonikka iya be7anaw dandda7ibeenna. Heenokey salo ekettanaappe sinthe I Xoossaa ufayssida asi gideyssi odettis.
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.
Ammanoy baynna oonikka Xoossaa ufayssanaw dandda7enna. Xoossaakko yaa oonikka Xoossay de7eyssanne bana koyeyssatas woyto immeyssa ammananaw koshshees.
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.
Nohey buroo benttonnabaas Xoossay iyaw odida wode Xoossaas yayyidi, bananne ba soo asaa ashshanaw ammanon markkabe keexis. Yaatidi ba ammanuwan alamiya pirddidi, ammanon benttiya xillotethaa Xoossaafe ekkis.
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.
Abrahamey laata oothidi ekkana biittaa baana mela Xoossay iya xeegida wode hari attoshin, I aw biyakko eronna ixxikokka kiitettiday ammanonna.
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.
Abrahamey Xoossay iyaw immana gida biittan bete asada de7iday ammanonna. Xoossay he immana gidayssa iyara issife laattana de7iya Yisaaqaranne Yayqoobara wolla dunkkaanen de7is.
10 For Abraham was looking forward to a city built on foundations that last, with God as its builder and maker.
I, Xoossay qoppidi keexida xaala baasoy de7iya katamaa naagees.
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.
Saara ba huu7en cimidabaa gidikkoka ufayssi immida Xoossay ammanettidayssa gideyssa erida gisho qanthatanaw wolqqa demmiday ammanonna.
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.
Hessa gisho, hayqqida asi daaniya issi addiyafe salo xoolintto melanne abbaa gaxan de7iya tayboy baynna shafe mela zerethay yelettidosona.
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.
He asay ubbay banttaw geetettida ufayssaa qaala ekkonna ammanon hayqqidosona. Shin haahora hessa be7idi, demmidaada oothidi, ufayssan ekkidosona. Qassi entti sa7an imathenne bete asi gideyssa eridosona.
14 People who say such things make it clear that they're looking for a country of their own.
Hessada giya asay bantta biittaa naageyssa qonccen bessees.
15 For if they cared about the country they'd left behind, they could have returned.
Entti he aggidi keyida biittaa guye qoppidabaa gidiyakko guye simmanaw dandda7osona.
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.
Shin ha77i aadhdhi lo77iya salo biittaa laamotosona. Hessa gisho, Xoossay enttaw katama giigisida gisho, “Entta Xoossaa” geetettidi xeegettanaw yeellatenna.
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,
Abrahamey paacettida wode Yisaaqa yarshshiday ammanonna. He ufayssa qaala ekkida Abrahamey ba issi na7aa yarshshanaw giigis.
18 even though he'd been told, “It's through Isaac that your descendants will be counted.”
Xoossay Abrahamekko, “Ne zerethay Yisaaqa baggara xeegettana” yaagidi odis.
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.
Xoossay hayqoppe denthanaw dandda7eyssa Abrahamey ammanida gisho, Yisaaqa hayqoppe paxi denddidaada oothidi zaari ekkis.
20 Trusting in God, Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau in regard to what the future would bring.
Yisaaqi wodeppe hananabaa eridi Yayqoobanne Eesawe anjjiday ammanonna.
21 Trusting in God, Jacob as he was dying blessed each of Joseph's sons, and worshiped God, leaning on his staff.
Yayqoobi hayqqana hanishe, issi issi Yoosefa nayta anjjidaynne guufe bolla katidi goynniday ammanonna.
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.
Yoosefi hayqqanaw matida wode Isra7eele asay Gibxefe keyanayssa odidaynne ba meqethaa oothanabaa entta kiittiday ammanonna.
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.
Musey yelettidaappe guye iya aayanne iya aaway mala lo77o na7a gididayssa be7idi heedzu ageena qottiday ammanona; entti kawuwa awaajjuwa yayyibookkona.
24 Trusting in God, Moses, when he grew up, refused to be known as the adopted son of Pharaoh's daughter.
Musey diccidaappe guye Gibxe kawuwa na7ee na7a geetettanayssa ixxiday ammanonna.
25 Instead he chose to share in the sufferings of God's people rather than to enjoy the temporary pleasures of sin.
Musey nagaran guutha wodes ufayttanaappe, Xoossaa asaara waaye ekkanayssa dooris.
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.
I wodeppe demmana woytuwa tishshi oothidi xeellida gisho, Gibxe shaluwappe aathidi Kiristtoosa gisho borettanayssi daro aadhdhiya duretethi gididayssa eris.
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.
Musey Kawuwa hanquwa yayyonna, Gibxefe keyiday ammanonna. Benttonna Xoossaa be7ida asada hanidi ba qofan genccis.
28 Trusting in God he observed the Passover and the sprinkling of blood, so that the destroying angel would not touch the Israelites.
Hayqo ehiya kiitanchchoy Isra7eele asaa bayra nayta wodhonna mela Musey Faasikanne suutha wurxetha wogaa oothiday ammanonna.
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.
Isra7eele asay mela biittara hamuttiyada hamuttidi, Zo7o Abbaa pinniday ammanonna. Shin Gibxe asay geli be7ishin haathay entta mittis.
30 Trusting in God, the Israelites marched around the walls of Jericho for seven days, and the walls fell down.
Isra7eele asay Iyaarkko katamaa shuchcha dirssaa laappun gallas yuuyidi, kunddidayssa ammanonna.
31 Trusting in God, Rahab the prostitute didn't die with those who rejected God, because she had welcomed the Israelite spies in peace.
Laymiya Ra7aaba biittaa wochcheyssata mokkida gisho, kiitettonna asaara hayqqonna attiday ammanonna.
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.
Hiza, haraa ta ay go? Gediyonabaa, Baaraqabaa, Samsoonabaa, Yofttaahebaa, Dawitebaa, Saamu7eelabaa, qassi nabetabaa odanaw taw wodey gidenna.
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,
Entti ammanon kawotethata xoonidosona; xillotethan aysidosona; Xoossay immana gida ufayssaa ekkidosona; gaammota doona gorddidosona;
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.
tama wolqqaa toysidosona; morkkata mashshaafe attidosona; bantta daaburan minnidosona; olan wolqqaama gididosona; allaga toora goodidosona.
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.
Maccasati bantta hayqqidayssati hayqoppe paxin ekkidosona. Qassi harati aadhdhiya hayqoppe dendduwa ekkanaw koyidi qashuwappe bilettanayssa ixxidosona.
36 Yet others suffered insults and whippings; they were put in chains and imprisoned.
Harati asan borettidi lisson garaafettidosona; harati santhalaatan qashettidi qasho keethan yegettidosona.
37 Some were stoned, cut in pieces, tempted, killed by the sword. Some dressed in sheepskins and goatskins: destitute, oppressed, and mistreated.
Entti suchchan cadettidosona; magaazen nam77a keyidi phalqqettidosona; paacettidosona; bison hayqqidosona; enttaw ubbabay dhayin metootidosona. Dorssa itenne deesha ite ma7idi yuuyidosona.
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.
Enttaw ha alamey giigonna ixxin bazzo biittan, dere bolla, gonggoloninne olla giddon yuuyidosona.
39 All of these people, even though they had God's approval, didn't receive what God had promised.
Xoossay entta ammanuwabaa markkattikokka, he ubbay geetettida ufayssa qaala ekkibookkona.
40 God has given us something even better, so that they can't be complete without us.
Xoossay nuus lo77obaa qoppi wothida gisho entti nuuni baynna polo gidokkona.
