Hebrews 11
1 NOW faith is the realizing confidence of the things hoped for, and the demonstration of things unseen:
Ulyeteho ni lioli yalinayo umntu lwagolela ahantu ahamo hudandamazu. Ahantu hasanga haoneshe awe uyinga lioli.
2 for thereby the ancients obtained a testimony of approbation.
Nantele awababu wetu waheteshe kwa lweteho lwao.
3 By faith we understand that the worlds were exactly formed by the word of God, so that the visible objects were not made out of things which now appear. (aiōn g165)
Kwa lweteho timenye aje munsi wahawombwelwe hundajizwa zya Ngolobhe, aje hala hahawoneha sagahahagombwilwe afume huvintu vivioneha. (aiōn g165)
4 By faith Abel offered unto God a sacrifice of more excellence than Cain, by which he received a testimony that he was a righteous man, God bearing witness upon his gifts: and by this, though dead, he still speaketh.
Ihali kwa lweteho lwa Habili ahafumizizye Ungolobhe isadaka inyinza hushile u Kaini. Husababu eyo ahasombwelwe aje alinuugolosu. Ungolobhe ahasombele. Huje ahaletile izawadi, U Habili ayanga hata nkafyiye.
5 By faith Enoch was translated, so as not to see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he was recorded to have been acceptable to God.
U Henoko ahali nulweteho ahengwilwe humwanya sagaahalolile ufye. “Sagaahawoneshe, kwa vile ilinenwa juu yake kuwa alimpendeza Ungolobhe ahamwenjile” humwanya.
6 But without faith it is impossible to be acceptable; for he must believe, who cometh unto God, that he exists, and is a rewarder of those who diligently seek him.
Bila lweteho sagauwajie hugwezye Ungolobhe, yawala hwa Ngolobhe ahnaziwa awe nulweteho aje Ungolobhe. Akhala naje ahuwapela izawadi wala wawahumwanzo.
7 By faith Noah, being divinely warned respecting things not yet seen, filled with reverential awe, prepared an ark for the salvation of his household, by which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.
Ihali hulweteho aje uNuhu, ahasundilwe nu Ngolobhe humambo gasaga gahaoneshe, ishishi ya Ngolobhe ihagombile. Mbongoso yahukombole ikhaya yakwe. Ahawombile esho ahalonjile munsi, ahawa mlithi wa lioli eyo ihezele ashilile ulweteho.
8 By faith Abraham, called to go forth unto a place which he should in future obtain as an heritage, obeyed; and he went forth, not knowing whither he was going.
Ihali lweteho aje u Abrahimu, alipoitwa alitii na kwenda mahali ambapo alipaswa kupokea kama lwahakwiziwe aheteshe ahawalile ahaposhe ulithi ahasongoe bila amanye aje awala hwii.
9 By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as a foreign land, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the co-heirs of the same promise.
Ihali lweteho ahiishi hunsi aje jenu. Ahakheye hu mahema peka nu Isaka nu Yakobo, walithi awamwao wa ndagano yiyile.
10 For he expected a city having foundations, of which God is the planner and architect.
Huje ahasowenye ahwenje umji wapime na wazenje yu Ngolobhe yuyo.
11 By faith also that very Sarah, who was barren, received ability for the conception of seed, and past the usual time of life brought forth a child, because she accounted that he who promised it, would be true to his promise.
Ihali lweteho aje Ibrahimu, nu Sala yuyo wahaposheye ingovu zya amyemye ulwanda lakini wahali wagogolo hani wahombile Ungolowe aje golosu. Ahawasowezezye umwana wishilume.
12 Wherefore even from one person, and he become dead in respect to these matters, there sprang a race, as the stars of heaven for multitude, and as the sand, which is on the shore of the sea, innumerable.
Huje afume hwamuntu oyo weka yahakaribiye afye wahapapwa awana wasagawazye. Wahali wichi nazi inzota zya humwanya na msanga wa hu bahari.
13 All these died in faith, not having received the promises, but beholding them at a great distance, though believing and embracing them, and confessing that they were strangers and sojourners in the land.
Ewe wonti wahafyiye nu lwetiko sagawahaposhea ulusuwelo. Ila wahalolile wahakalibisizye hwahutali waheteshe aje wahali wajenu aje washila shila munsi yao wewo.
14 Now they who speak thus, shew evidently that they are in earnest search of their native country.
Wala wawayanganga amambo nazi engo awashe wahuanza insi yao wewo.
15 And if indeed they had fixed their minds on that from whence they had gone forth, they might have had opportunity to go back to it again.
Lioli nkawasewenga insi yawahafumile indi walininafasi ya wele, wangelikuwa na nafasi ya kurejea.
16 But now their longing desires are after a better country, that is, the heavenly one: wherefore God is not ashamed of them to be called their God: for he hath prepared a city for them.
Eshi shileho wanyonywa insi yilishinza ya humwanya. Eshi Ungolobhe sangaalola isoni akwiziwe Ngolobhi wao yuyo agombile umji khaajili yao.
17 By faith Abraham, when tried, offered up Isaac; and he who had received the promise, presented in sacrifice his only begotten son,
Ihali ilweteho u Abrahamu ahapata ingelo, ahafumya u Isaka. Umwene ahapashela ulusuwelo husheshelo, ahafumizye umwana wakwe weka,
18 unto whom it had been said, “That by Isaac shall there be a seed bearing thy name:”
yuyuyo ahayangwile, “Afume hwa Isaka ishikholoshakwe azakwiziwe.”
19 reasoning that God was able to raise him up again, even from the dead; from whence also figuratively he had received him.
U Ablaimu ahamenye aje Ungolobhe ahali ni ngovu wa huzyosye u Isaka afume hufyiye, ahayanjile hukabila ya shitenda wili ahaposheye.
20 By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau with regard to future things.
Ihali lweteho aje u Isaka ahasaile uYakobo nu Esau ahusu amambo gagahuenza.
21 By faith, dying Jacob blessed each of the sons of Joseph, and bowed down in adoration upon the top of his staff.
Ihali lweteho aje uYakobo lwahali lwahali karibu afye ahasaile awana wa Yusufu wekaweka. U Yakobo ahaputile ahategemee humwanya yi ndesa yakwe.
22 By faith Joseph, approaching his end, made mention of the children of Israel’s departure thence; and gave a charge respecting his bones.
Ihali lweteho aje u Yusufu uwakati wakwe wa malishe lwahakalibia ahayenje aje afume hwawana wa Israeli huMisri ahawalajizya ahweje peka amafupa gakwe,
23 By faith Moses, after he was born, was hid three months by his parents, because they saw the child singularly beautiful; and they were not intimidated by the command of the king.
Ihali lweteho aje uMusa iwahapapwilwe wahafisile amezi gatatu na awazazi wakwe wahanolile aje mwana usanga ya hali mwinza, sagawaahongope indajizwo izwa mwene.
24 By faith Moses, when he became a grown man, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter;
Ihali lweteho aje uMusa lwahali muntu ugosi ahakhanile akwiziwe mwana wa nendi wa Farao.
25 choosing rather to suffer afflictions with the people of God, than to have a temporary fruition of sin;
Pamande ahasaluye ahale na malawa peka na wantu wa Ngolobhe saga ahasungwenzye ianasa imbiwi izya papepe.
26 esteeming the reproach of Christ riches greater than the treasures of Egypt: for he looked earnestly to the recompence of reward.
Ahasewele isoni ya hufuante uKristi aje uutajili ugosi kuliko imali ya Mmisri ahakazile amaso ahunye izawadi husiku zizihwenza.
27 By faith he forsook Egypt, not intimidated by the wrath of the king: for he boldly persisted, as seeing the invisible Jehovah.
Ihali lweteho aje uMusa ahahepile huMisri. Sagaahogope ilioyo lya mwene, ahuenye gasanga gawoneha.
28 By faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of the blood, that the destroyer of the first-born might not touch them.
Ihali lweteho aje ahaikhente ipasaka na atonyelezwe idada, aje umiwi yananganya awawapapwe awahwande awashilume apotwe huwa khante, awaIsraeli.
29 By faith they passed through the Red sea, as on dry ground; which the Egyptians attempting to do were swallowed up.
Ihali lweteho aje wahashilile pahati yi isumbi ya shamu aje mahali pumu. Awamisri lwawahajezya ashile wahamililwe.
30 By faith the walls of Jericho fell, after being circled round seven days.
Ihali lwetiho aje uluwumba wa Yeriko wahagwiye pasi, wahazwongolile isiku saba.
31 By faith Rahab the harlot perished not with those who were infidels, having received the spies in peace.
Ihali lweteho aje u Rahabu ula umalaya sanga ahangamie peka na wala wasanga wahali wagolosu, ahawaopesheye wawahezele ahwenyelezye ahawa wehsele pinza,
32 And what more shall I say: for the time would fail me if I should make a narration concerning Gideon, and Barac, and Sampson, and Jephtha, and David, and Samuel, and the prophets:
Injanje zwoni hani? Amasala sanga gakwela ayanje u Gidioni, u Barak, u Samsoni, u Yeftha, u Daudi, u Samweli na awakuwa,
33 who by faith vanquished kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,
aje ashilile ulweteho wahazimenile umwene wahawombile ihaki na wahaposheye ulusuwelo, wahazinjile amalomu gihanu,
34 extinguished the force of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, they were made strong out of weakness, became mighty in battle, routed the armies of aliens.
wahazimile ingovu zwonti zi moto wahaponjele uwonji wipanga wahapona afume hu mpungo, wahali wadandamazu iwho wahezele awalogo awajenu wahashembeye.
35 Women received by a resurrection their dead: but others were tortured, not accepting a release; that they might obtain a better resurrection:
Awashe wahaposhe awafyewao hwidala la ufufulwe. Awamo wahalawile, saga waheteshe aleshwe shinza aje wawaje uzyoswo amwinza hani.
36 and others had trials of mockeries and whippings, yea and farther of chains and imprisonment:
Awamo wahalawile, wahasoshele, wahashetwilwe, nantele wahapinywilwe mwijela.
37 they were stoned, they were sawn asunder, they experienced the severest trials, they were slain by the edge of the sword: they went about wrapped in skins of sheep and goats, destitute of all things, pressed down with afflictions, suffering all kind of misery;
Wahakhomilwa amawe. Wahawolilwe. Mentu mentu. Wahabudilwe nu panga. Wahajendanga namakwembe gingole na makwembe gi mbuzi ewo wahazanga, wahawalanga shawavyaleye wahawombwelwanga amawiwi
38 of whom the world was not worthy: they wandered up and down in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens, and caverns of the earth.
(ewo munsi sagabhahazwanga awe nao), wahaziongolaga ziongolanga mwihombe, mwigamba, magwenya, mmagondi igamusni.
39 And these all though having obtained a testimony by faith, received not the promise:
Lelo awantu wonti ewo Ungolobhe ahawenteshe wahali nulweteho, sagawahaposheye indangano.
40 God having provided for us something better, that without us they should not attain to perfection.
Ungolobhe ahalongeye hutupele ahantu ahiza, aje bilaante sangawawajie.
