Hebrews 11
1 NOW faith is the realizing confidence of the things hoped for, and the demonstration of things unseen:
Ǹjẹ́ ìgbàgbọ́ ní ìdánilójú ohun tí o ń retí, ìjẹ́rìí ohun tí a kò rí.
2 for thereby the ancients obtained a testimony of approbation.
Nítorí nínú rẹ ni àwọn alàgbà àtijọ́ ní ẹ̀rí rere.
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)
Nípa ìgbàgbọ́ ni a mọ̀ pé a ti dá ayé nípa ọ̀rọ̀ Ọlọ́run; nítorí náà kì í ṣe ohun tí o hàn ni a fi dá ohun tí a ń ri. (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.
Nípa ìgbàgbọ́ ní Abeli rú ẹbọ sí Ọlọ́run tí ó sàn ju ti Kaini lọ, nípa èyí tí a jẹ́rìí rẹ̀ pe olódodo ni, Ọlọ́run sí ń jẹ́rìí ẹ̀bùn rẹ̀, àti nípa rẹ̀ náà, bí o ti jẹ́ pé o ti kú, síbẹ̀ o ń fọhùn.
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.
Nípa ìgbàgbọ́ ni a ṣí Enoku ní ipò padà kí o má ṣe rí ikú; a kò sì rí i mọ́, nítorí Ọlọ́run ṣí i ní ipò padà ṣáájú ìṣípò padà rẹ̀, a jẹ́rìí yìí sí i pé o wu Ọlọ́run.
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n láìsí ìgbàgbọ́ kò ṣe é ṣe láti wù ú; nítorí ẹni tí ó bá ń tọ Ọlọ́run wá kò lè ṣàì gbàgbọ́ pé ó ń bẹ, àti pé òun ní olùṣẹ̀san fún àwọn tí o fi ara balẹ̀ wá a.
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.
Nípa ìgbàgbọ́ ni Noa, nígbà ti Ọlọ́run, kìlọ̀ ohun tí a kóò tí ì rí fún un, o bẹ̀rù Ọlọ́run ó sì kan ọkọ̀ fún ìgbàlà ilé rẹ̀, nípa èyí tí ó da ayé lẹ́bi, ó sì di ajogún òdodo tí i ṣe nípa ìgbàgbọ́.
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.
Nípa ìgbàgbọ́ ní Abrahamu, nígbà tí a ti pé e láti jáde lọ sí ibi tí òun yóò gbà fún ilẹ̀ ìní, ó gbọ́, ó sì jáde lọ, láì mọ ibi tí òun ń rè.
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.
Nípa ìgbàgbọ́ ní o ṣe àtìpó ní ilẹ̀ ìlérí, bí ẹni pé ni ilẹ̀ àjèjì, o ń gbé inú àgọ́, pẹ̀lú Isaaki àti Jakọbu, àwọn ajogún ìlérí kan náà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀,
10 For he expected a city having foundations, of which God is the planner and architect.
nítorí tí ó ń retí ìlú tí ó ní ìpìlẹ̀; èyí tí Ọlọ́run tẹ̀dó tí ó sì kọ́.
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.
Nípa ìgbàgbọ́ ni Sara tìkára rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú fi gba agbára láti lóyún, nígbà tí ó kọjá ìgbà rẹ̀, nítorí tí o ka ẹni tí o ṣe ìlérí sí olóòótọ́.
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.
Nítorí náà ni ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ṣe ti ara ọkùnrin kan jáde, àní ara ẹni tí o dàbí òkú, ọmọ bí ìràwọ̀ ojú ọ̀run lọ́pọ̀lọ́pọ̀, àti bí iyanrìn etí Òkun láìníye.
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.
Gbogbo àwọn wọ̀nyí ni ó kú nínú ìgbàgbọ́, láìrí àwọn ìlérí náà gbà, ṣùgbọ́n tí wọn rí wọn ni òkèrè réré, tí wọ́n sì gbá wọn mú, tí wọ́n sì jẹ́wọ́ pé àlejò àti àjèjì ni àwọn lórí ilẹ̀ ayé.
14 Now they who speak thus, shew evidently that they are in earnest search of their native country.
Nítorí pé àwọn tí o ń sọ irú ohun bẹ́ẹ̀ fihàn gbangba pé, wọn ń ṣe àfẹ́rí ìlú kan tí i ṣe tiwọn.
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.
Àti nítòótọ́, ìbá ṣe pé wọ́n fi ìlú tiwọn tí jáde wá sí ọkàn, wọn ìbá ti rí ààyè padà.
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n nísinsin yìí wọ́n ń fẹ́ ìlú kan tí o dára jù bẹ́ẹ̀ lọ, èyí yìí ni ti ọ̀run, nítorí náà ojú wọn kò ti Ọlọ́run, pé kí a máa pé òun ni Ọlọ́run wọn; nítorí tí o ti pèsè ìlú kan sílẹ̀ fún wọn.
17 By faith Abraham, when tried, offered up Isaac; and he who had received the promise, presented in sacrifice his only begotten son,
Nípa ìgbàgbọ́ ni Abrahamu, nígbà tí a dán an wò láti, fi Isaaki rú ẹbọ: àní òun ẹni tí ó rí ìlérí gba múra tan láti fi ọmọ bíbí rẹ kan ṣoṣo rú ẹbọ.
18 unto whom it had been said, “That by Isaac shall there be a seed bearing thy name:”
Nípa ẹni tí wí pé, “Nínú Isaaki ni a ó ti pe irú-ọmọ rẹ̀.”
19 reasoning that God was able to raise him up again, even from the dead; from whence also figuratively he had received him.
Ó sì rò ó si pé Ọlọ́run tilẹ̀ lè gbé e dìde kúrò nínú òkú, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni, bí a bá sọ ọ́ lọ́nà àpẹẹrẹ, ó gbà á padà.
20 By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau with regard to future things.
Nípa ìgbàgbọ́ ní Isaaki súre fún Jakọbu àti Esau ní ti ohun tí ń bọ̀.
21 By faith, dying Jacob blessed each of the sons of Joseph, and bowed down in adoration upon the top of his staff.
Nípa ìgbàgbọ́ ni Jakọbu, nígbà tí o ń ku lọ, ó súre fún àwọn ọmọ Josẹfu ni ọ̀kọ̀ọ̀kan; ó sì sinmi ní ìtẹríba lé orí ọ̀pá rẹ̀.
22 By faith Joseph, approaching his end, made mention of the children of Israel’s departure thence; and gave a charge respecting his bones.
Nípa ìgbàgbọ́ ni Josẹfu, nígbà tí ó ń ku lọ, ó rántí ìjáde lọ àwọn ọmọ Israẹli; ó sì pàṣẹ ní ti àwọn egungun rẹ̀.
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.
Nípa ìgbàgbọ́ ní àwọn òbí Mose pa a mọ́ fún oṣù mẹ́ta nígbà tí a bí i, nítorí tiwọn rí i ní arẹwà ọmọ; wọn kò sì bẹ̀rù àṣẹ ọba.
24 By faith Moses, when he became a grown man, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter;
Nípa ìgbàgbọ́ ni Mose, nígbà tí o dàgbà, ó kọ̀ ki a máa pé òun ni ọmọ ọmọbìnrin Farao;
25 choosing rather to suffer afflictions with the people of God, than to have a temporary fruition of sin;
o kúkú yàn láti máa ba àwọn ènìyàn Ọlọ́run jìyà, ju jíjẹ fàájì ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ fún ìgbà díẹ̀.
26 esteeming the reproach of Christ riches greater than the treasures of Egypt: for he looked earnestly to the recompence of reward.
Ó ka ẹ̀gàn Kristi si ọrọ̀ tí ó pọ̀jù àwọn ìṣúra Ejibiti lọ, nítorí tí ó ń wo èrè náà.
27 By faith he forsook Egypt, not intimidated by the wrath of the king: for he boldly persisted, as seeing the invisible Jehovah.
Nípa ìgbàgbọ́ ni o kọ Ejibiti sílẹ̀ láìbẹ̀rù ìbínú ọba: nítorí tí o dúró ṣinṣin bí ẹni tí ó n ri ẹni àìrí.
28 By faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of the blood, that the destroyer of the first-born might not touch them.
Nípa ìgbàgbọ́ ni ó da àsè ìrékọjá sílẹ̀, àti ìbùwọ́n ẹ̀jẹ̀, kí ẹni tí ń pa àwọn àkọ́bí ọmọ má bá a fi ọwọ́ kan wọn.
29 By faith they passed through the Red sea, as on dry ground; which the Egyptians attempting to do were swallowed up.
Nípa ìgbàgbọ́ ni wọn la òkun pupa kọjá bi ẹni pé ni ìyàngbẹ ilẹ̀ ni: ti àwọn ara Ejibiti dánwò, tí wọ́n sì ri.
30 By faith the walls of Jericho fell, after being circled round seven days.
Nípa ìgbàgbọ́ ni àwọn odi Jeriko wo lulẹ̀, lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí a yí wọn ká ni ọjọ́ méje.
31 By faith Rahab the harlot perished not with those who were infidels, having received the spies in peace.
Nípa ìgbàgbọ́ ni Rahabu panṣágà kò ṣègbé pẹ̀lú àwọn tí kò gbọ́rọ̀ nígbà tí o tẹ́wọ́gbà àwọn àmì ní àlàáfíà.
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:
Èwo ni èmi o sì tún máa wí sí i? Nítorí pé ìgbà yóò kùnà fún mi láti sọ ti Gideoni, àti Baraki, àti Samsoni, àti Jefta; àti Dafidi, àti Samuẹli, àti ti àwọn wòlíì,
33 who by faith vanquished kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,
àwọn ẹni nípasẹ̀ ìgbàgbọ́ tiwọn ṣẹ́gun ilẹ̀ ọba, tí wọn ṣiṣẹ́ òdodo, tiwọn gba ìlérí, tiwọn dí àwọn kìnnìún lénu,
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.
tí wọ́n pa agbára iná, tí wọ́n bọ́ lọ́wọ́ ojú idà, tí a sọ di alágbára nínú àìlera, tí wọ́n dí akọni nínú ìjà, wọ́n lé ogun àwọn àjèjì sá.
35 Women received by a resurrection their dead: but others were tortured, not accepting a release; that they might obtain a better resurrection:
Àwọn obìnrin ri òkú wọn gbà nípa àjíǹde: a sì da àwọn ẹlòmíràn lóró, wọ́n kọ̀ láti gba ìdásílẹ̀; kí wọn ba lè rí àjíǹde tí o dára jù gbà.
36 and others had trials of mockeries and whippings, yea and farther of chains and imprisonment:
Àwọn ẹlòmíràn sì rí ìjìyà ẹ̀sín, àti nínà, àti ju bẹ́ẹ̀ lọ, ti ìdè àti ti túbú.
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;
A sọ wọ́n ni òkúta, a fi ayùn rẹ́ wọn sì méjì, a dán wọn wò a fi idà pa wọn, wọ́n rìn káàkiri nínú awọ àgùntàn àti nínú awọ ewúrẹ́; wọn di aláìní, olùpọ́njú, ẹni tí a ń da lóró;
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.
àwọn ẹni tí ayé ko yẹ fún. Wọ́n ń kiri nínú aṣálẹ̀, àti lórí òkè, àti nínú ihò àti nínú abẹ́ ilẹ̀.
39 And these all though having obtained a testimony by faith, received not the promise:
Gbogbo àwọn wọ̀nyí tí a jẹ́rìí rere sí nípa ìgbàgbọ́, wọn kò sì rí ìlérí náà gbà,
40 God having provided for us something better, that without us they should not attain to perfection.
nítorí Ọlọ́run ti pèsè ohun tí ó dára jù sílẹ̀ fún wa, pé láìsí wa, kí a má ṣe wọn pé.
