Hebrews 11
1 Now faith is [the] substance of things hoped for, [the] proof of matters not being seen,
Bhai ngulupai ni kutolelela kuti kweli ga indu ilolelwa, ni kukulupalila indu ikabhoneka.
2 for by this, the elders were well-attested.
Pabha, kwa ligongo lya ngulupai jabhonji ashinakulu bhetu bhashinkukong'ondelwanga ukoto na a Nnungu.
3 By faith we understand the ages to have been prepared by a saying of God, in regard to the things seen having not come out of things appearing. (aiōn g165)
Kwa ngulupai tunakumumanya kuti shilambolyo shashinkupanganywa kwa amuli ja a Nnungu. Indu ibhoneka yashinkupanganywa kopoka kuindu ikabhoneka. (aiōn g165)
4 By faith Abel offered a better sacrifice to God than Cain, through which he was testified to be righteous, God testifying of his gifts, and through it, he being dead, yet speaks.
Kwa ngulupai, a Abheli bhashinkushoya mbepei ya mmbone kwa a Nnungu kupunda a Kaini. Kwa ligongo lya ngulupai jabho gubhakwete aki kwa a Nnungu, pabha a Nnungu bhayene bhanonyelwe na mbepei yabho. Kwa jene ngulupaijo nkali a Abheli bhawileyo, launo ngulupai jabho jinabha shindu sha mmbone sha kaguya.
5 By faith Enoch was translated—not to see death, and was not found, because God translated him; for before his translation he had been testified to—that he had pleased God well,
Kwa ngulupai, a Eneko bhashinkutolwa na a Nnungu kujabhula pashilambolyo gwangali kuwa. Bhangabhoneka kabhili pabha a Nnungu bhashinkwaatola kwenda kunnungu. A Eneko bhakanabhe tolwa na a Nnungu bhatendaga nonyelwa nabho.
6 and apart from faith it is impossible to please [Him], for it is required of him who is coming to God to believe that He exists and [that] He becomes a rewarder to those seeking Him.
Ikabheje, gwangali ngulupai ikatendeka kwaanonyeya a Nnungu, pabha akwaajendela a Nnungu anapinjikwa akulupalile kuti Bhenebho bhapali na kuti bhanakwaapanganga shukilo bhene bhakwaaloleyanga bhala.
7 By faith Noah, having been divinely warned concerning the things not yet seen, having feared, prepared an ark to the salvation of his house, through which he condemned the world, and he became heir of the righteousness according to faith.
Kwa ngulupai a Nuu bhashinkukunda kuleywa na a Nnungu ga ipinga koposhela, bhali bhakanabhe kuibhona. Kwa kwaakunda a Nnungu, a Nuu gubhaeleye shapina nkupinga kuitapula bhayene na ashaalongo ajabho. Kwa ligongo lya ngulupai ja a Nuu, a Nnungu gubhashiukumwile shilambolyo ga lebha.
8 By faith Abraham, being called, obeyed, to go forth into the place that he was about to receive for an inheritance, and he went forth, not knowing to where he goes.
Kwa ngulupai, a Bhulaimu bhashinkukunda pubhashemilwe na a Nnungu bhajende kushilambo shibhalajilwe kupegwa kwa miadi shibhe ulishi gwabho. Gubhaleshile shilambo shabho, bhali bhakakukumanya kubhakwenda.
9 By faith he sojourned in the land of the promise as a strange country, having dwelt in dwelling places with Isaac and Jacob, fellow-heirs of the same promise,
Kwa ngulupai bhashinkutama mbuti bhajeni nshilambo sha miadi ja a Nnungu, gubhatemi mmakambi, malinga shibhatendilenje a Ishaka na a Yakobho kungai, bhalinginji bhalishi bha mmiadi jila na a Nnungu.
10 for he was looking for the city having the foundations, whose craftsman and constructor [is] God.
Pabha a Bhulaimu bhatendaga lolela kushibhona shilambo shishenjilwe kwa majumba ga shimilika, shilambo shikumbwiywe na shengwa na a Nnungu.
11 And by faith Sarah, herself barren, received power to conceive seed even after the time of life, seeing she judged Him who promised faithful;
Kwa ngulupai, a Bhulaimu nkali bhaaliji bhakongopa, na a Shala nkali bhaaliji nannii na bhakongopa gubhapegwilwe mashili ga jukuta shitumbo nikola mwana, pabha bhakulupalile kuti a Nnungu shibhakamilishe miadi jabho.
12 for this reason, also, from one—and that of one who had become dead—were begotten as the stars of the sky in multitude, and innumerable as the sand that [is] by the seashore.
Kwa nneyo, kwa ligongo lika mundu jumo aaliji nkulolela kuwa, gubhabhelekwenje bhandu bhabhagwinji malinga ndondwa ya kuliunde na malinga nng'anji gwa nnyenje bhaali ukakomboleka kubhalanganywa.
13 All these died in faith, having not received the promises, but having seen them from afar, and having been persuaded, and having greeted [them], and having confessed that they are strangers and sojourners on the earth,
Bhene bhandunji bhowebha gubhawilenje nngulupai gwangali kuposhela indu ya miadi ja a Nnungu ila, ikabheje bhaibhweninji kwa taliya nikuiangalila, niikunda kuti pubhalinginji bhajeninji na bhapita mpanda pa shilambolyo.
14 for those saying such things make apparent that they seek a country;
Bhandu bhabheleketanga nnei, bhanalangulanga kuti mubhalinginji nkuloleya shilambo shabhonji.
15 and if, indeed, they had been mindful of that from which they came forth, they might have had an opportunity to return,
Monaga bhakaganishiyenje ga shilambo shabhonji shibhashileshilenje bhukala, bhakapatilenje muubhujilo kweneko.
16 but now they long for better, that is, heavenly, for this reason God is not ashamed of them, to be called their God, for He prepared a city for them.
Ikabheje bhanapinganga shilambo shili sha mmbone kaje, yani shilambo sha kunnungu. Kwa nneyo a Nnungu bhakaakola oni kushemwa a Nnungu bhabhonji, pabha bhaeleye shilambo sha bhene bhanganyabho, yani kunnungu.
17 By faith Abraham has offered up Isaac, being tried, even the [one] having received the promises offered up his only begotten,
Kwa ngulupai, a Bhulaimu bhakalingweje na a Nnungu, bhashinkunshoya Ishaka abhe mbepei. A Bhulaimu bhashinkukunda kunshoya mwanagwabho jwa jika abhe mbepei, jubhapegwilwe na a Nnungu kwa miadi.
18 of whom it was said, “In Isaac will your Seed be called,”
Nkali a Nnungu bhaabhalanjile, kupitila kwa a Ishaka shinkole lubheleko shilushemwe lwenu.
19 reckoning that God is even able to raise up out of the dead, from where also in a figurative sense he received [him].
A Bhulaimu bhaganishiye kuti a Nnungu bhanakombola kunnyuya mundu awile, kwa nneyo ni malinga bhashikumpata kabhili Ishaka akaweje.
20 By faith, concerning coming things, Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau.
Kwa ngulupai a Ishaka bhashinkwaapanganga mboka a Yakobho na a Eshau nndamo ja mobha ga kwiya.
21 By faith Jacob, dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph and worshiped on the top of his staff.
Kwa ngulupai a Yakobho pubhaaliji tome na kuwa, bhashinkumpa mboka kila mwana jwa a Yoshepu nigubhaatindibhalile a Nnungu bhali bhaijegamile ntindisho gwabho.
22 By faith Joseph, dying, made mention concerning the outgoing of the sons of Israel, and gave command concerning his bones.
Kwa ngulupai a Yoshepu pubhaaliji tome na kuwa, bhabhelekete ga mobha gushibhashokangane Ishilaeli ku Mishili, nigubhalajile ga maupa gabho bhawaga.
23 By faith Moses, having been born, was hid three months by his parents, because they saw the child beautiful, and were not afraid of the decree of the king.
Kwa ngulupai, bhankwetenje Musha bhashinkunng'iyanga myei jitatu akabhelekweje, pabha bhashinkummonanga mwana jwa konja, wala bhakajogopenjeje amuli ja a mpalume.
24 By faith Moses, having become great, refused to be called a son of the daughter of Pharaoh,
Kwa ngulupai, Musha akakuleje, ashinkukana kushemwa mwana jwa abhiti Palao.
25 having chosen rather to be afflicted with the people of God, than to have sin’s pleasure for a season,
A Musha gubhaagwile na mbaya kutama maisha ga bhonelwa pamo na bhandunji bha a Nnungu, na nngabha kunonyelwa na maisha gakaalonjeya ga tenda yambi.
26 having reckoned the reproach of the Christ greater wealth than the treasures in Egypt, for he looked to the repayment of reward.
Bhashinkukunda kupotekwa malinga shibhapinga potekwa a Kilishitu, ni shindu sha mana kupunda utajili gowe gwa shilambo sha Mishili, pabha bhatendaga lolela kupegwa shukilo.
27 By faith he left Egypt behind, having not been afraid of the wrath of the king, for as seeing the Invisible One—he endured.
Kwa ngulupai, a Musha bhashinkujabhula ku Mishili gwangali jogopa nnjimwa ja a mpalume, bhashikwiikakatimila pabha bhaabhweni a Nnungu bhakaabhoneka bhala.
28 By faith he kept the Passover, and the sprinkling of the blood, so that He who is destroying the firstborn might not touch them.
Kwa ngulupai bhashinkukumbuya shikukuu ja pashaka nipakaya minyai pa nnango, nkupinga malaika nkubhulaga, anaabhulaganje bhana bhanabhalume bha lielo bha Bhaishilaeli.
29 By faith they passed through the Red Sea as through dry land, which having made an attempt [to cross], the Egyptians were swallowed up.
Kwa ngulupai, Bhaishilaeli bhashinkujombokanga bhaali ja Shamu mbuti pantaka nnjumu, ikabheje Bhamishili bhakalinganjeje kutenda nneyo, gubhatitimilenje mmashi.
30 By faith the walls of Jericho fell, having been surrounded for seven days.
Kwa ngulupai, makumba ga Yeliko gashinkugwa, Bhaishilaeli bhakagatimbililanjeje kwa mobha shabha.
31 By faith Rahab the prostitute did not perish with those who disbelieved, having received the spies with peace.
Kwa ngulupai, a Laabhu bhaliji lijajana, bhangabhulagwa pamo na bhaakanilenje a Nnungu bhala, pabha bhashinkwaaposhelanga bhanushishiya kwa ulele.
32 And what yet will I say? For the time will fail me recounting about Gideon, also Barak, and Samson, and Jephthah, also David, and Samuel, and the prophets,
Igala mbunde bheleketa nndi? Nne ngapinga kutalashiya ga ngani ja a Gidioni, na a Bhalaka, na a Shanshoni, na a Yeputa, na a Daudi, na a Shamweli na ashinkulondola bha a Nnungu,
33 who through faith subdued kingdoms, worked righteousness, obtained promises, stopped mouths of lions,
bhanganyabho kwa ngulupai, bhashinkukombolanga kupokonyola ilambo ya bhapalume, na bhashinkutendanga indu kwa aki, niipegwa ya miadi ja a Nnungu, bhashinkutabhanga kang'wa ya imba,
34 quenched the power of fire, escaped the mouth of the sword, were made powerful out of weakness, became strong in battle, caused armies of the foreigners to give way;
bhashinkuimanga malamba ga moto, bhashinkutapulwanga nkubhulagwa na upanga, bhakakwetenjeje mashili, ikabheje gubhapegwilwenje mashili, bhashinkukolanga makangala nngondo nikugakombola makundi ga bhajeninji bhakomana ngondo.
35 women received their dead by a resurrection, and others were tortured, not accepting the redemption, that they might receive a better resurrection,
Kwa ngulupai, bhanabhakongwe bhashinkuposhelanga bhandunji bhabhonji bhawilenje niyuywa. Ikabheje bhananji bhashinkupotekwanga niikana kugopolwa, nkupinga bhapatanje kuyuywa nibha nndamo jili jammbone kaje.
36 and others received trial of mockings and scourgings, and yet of bonds and imprisonment;
Bhananji bhashinkunyegaywanga nikomwa ndomondo, nitabhwa mindondolo niugalilwa mmagelesha.
37 they were stoned, they were sawn apart, they were tried; they died in the killing of the sword; they went around in sheepskins, in goatskins—being destitute, afflicted, injuriously treated,
Bhananji bhashinkubhulagwanga kwa komwa maganga, bhananji bhashinkugabhanywanga ipande na mishumeno, kubhulagwa na upanga, bhatendaga konangonanga bhali bhawetenje mapende ga ngondolo na mbui, bhalinginji nshilaje, bhalipotekwanga na tendelwa yangali ya mmbone.
38 of whom the world was not worthy; wandering in deserts, and mountains, and caves, and the holes of the earth;
Shilambolyo shikapwaileje kubha na bhandunji bha mmbonebha malinga bhanganyabho. Bhatendaga konangonanga nng'anga na mwitumbi, bhalitamangana mmashembo na mmaimbo.
39 and all these, having been testified to through faith, did not receive the promise,
Na bhene bhandunji bhowebho, bhashinkukong'ondelwanga ukoto na a Nnungu ga ngulupai jabhonji, ikabheje bhangaposhelanga ya miadi ja a Nnungu ila mpaka kungai.
40 God, having provided something better for us, that apart from us they might not be made perfect.
Pabha a Nnungu bhashinkulongolela kutubhishila indu ya mmbone kaje, nkupinga bhanganyabho bhanakamilishwanje gwangali uwe.
