Hebrews 11
1 Now faith is being confident of what we hope for, convinced about things we do not see.
Ammanoy guussay, demmana gidi ufayssan ammanettidi naagiyabaanne nu be7onnabaa be7iyada oothidi ekkiyabaa.
2 For by this, the people of old were attested.
Beni aawati ammanon Xoossaafe markkatethi ekkidosona.
3 By faith, we understand that the ages were prepared by the word of God, so that what is seen has not been made out of things which are visible. (aiōn g165)
Alamey Xoossaa qaalan medhettidayssa nu ammanon eroos. Qassi benttiyabay benttonnabaappe medhettis. (aiōn g165)
4 By faith, Abel offered to God a better sacrifice than Cain, through which he was attested as righteous, God testifying with respect to his gifts; and though he died he still speaks through it.
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 faith, Enoch was taken away, so that he would not see death, "and he was not found, because God took him away." For before he was taken he was attested as having pleased God.
Heenokey hayqqonna salo biday ammanonna. Xoossay iya ekkida gisho oonikka iya be7anaw dandda7ibeenna. Heenokey salo ekettanaappe sinthe I Xoossaa ufayssida asi gideyssi odettis.
6 Now without faith it is impossible to be well pleasing to him, for he who comes to God must believe that he exists, and that he is a rewarder of those who seek him.
Ammanoy baynna oonikka Xoossaa ufayssanaw dandda7enna. Xoossaakko yaa oonikka Xoossay de7eyssanne bana koyeyssatas woyto immeyssa ammananaw koshshees.
7 By faith, Noah, being warned about things not yet seen, in reverence prepared a box-shaped ship for the salvation of his household, through which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith.
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 By faith, Abraham, when he was called, obeyed to go out to a place which he was to receive for an inheritance. He went out, 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 By faith, he sojourned in a land of promise, as a foreigner, living in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of 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 he looked for the city which has foundations, whose architect and builder is God.
I, Xoossay qoppidi keexida xaala baasoy de7iya katamaa naagees.
11 By faith, even barren Sarah herself received power to conceive when she was past age, and gave birth, since she considered him faithful who had promised.
Saara ba huu7en cimidabaa gidikkoka ufayssi immida Xoossay ammanettidayssa gideyssa erida gisho qanthatanaw wolqqa demmiday ammanonna.
12 Therefore as many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as innumerable as the sand which is by the sea shore, were fathered by one man, and him as good as dead.
Hessa gisho, hayqqida asi daaniya issi addiyafe salo xoolintto melanne abbaa gaxan de7iya tayboy baynna shafe mela zerethay yelettidosona.
13 These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them and embraced them from afar, and having acknowledged that they were strangers and temporary residents on the earth.
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 For those who say such things make it clear that they are seeking a country of their own.
Hessada giya asay bantta biittaa naageyssa qonccen bessees.
15 If indeed they had been thinking of that country from which they went out, they would have had enough time to return.
Entti he aggidi keyida biittaa guye qoppidabaa gidiyakko guye simmanaw dandda7osona.
16 Instead, they were longing for a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed of them, to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them.
Shin ha77i aadhdhi lo77iya salo biittaa laamotosona. Hessa gisho, Xoossay enttaw katama giigisida gisho, “Entta Xoossaa” geetettidi xeegettanaw yeellatenna.
17 By faith, Abraham, being tested, offered up Isaac; and he who had gladly received the promises was offering up his one and only son;
Abrahamey paacettida wode Yisaaqa yarshshiday ammanonna. He ufayssa qaala ekkida Abrahamey ba issi na7aa yarshshanaw giigis.
18 even he to whom it was said, "In Isaac will your descendants be called;"
Xoossay Abrahamekko, “Ne zerethay Yisaaqa baggara xeegettana” yaagidi odis.
19 concluding that God is able to raise up even from the dead. Figuratively speaking, he also did receive him back from the dead.
Xoossay hayqoppe denthanaw dandda7eyssa Abrahamey ammanida gisho, Yisaaqa hayqoppe paxi denddidaada oothidi zaari ekkis.
20 By faith, Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau, even concerning things to come.
Yisaaqi wodeppe hananabaa eridi Yayqoobanne Eesawe anjjiday ammanonna.
21 By faith, Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, and bowed over the top of his staff.
Yayqoobi hayqqana hanishe, issi issi Yoosefa nayta anjjidaynne guufe bolla katidi goynniday ammanonna.
22 By faith, Joseph, when his end was near, made mention of the departure of the children of Israel; and gave instructions concerning his bones.
Yoosefi hayqqanaw matida wode Isra7eele asay Gibxefe keyanayssa odidaynne ba meqethaa oothanabaa entta kiittiday ammanonna.
23 By faith, Moses, when he was born, was hidden for three months by his parents, because they saw that he was a beautiful child, and they were not afraid of the king's commandment.
Musey yelettidaappe guye iya aayanne iya aaway mala lo77o na7a gididayssa be7idi heedzu ageena qottiday ammanona; entti kawuwa awaajjuwa yayyibookkona.
24 By faith, Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter,
Musey diccidaappe guye Gibxe kawuwa na7ee na7a geetettanayssa ixxiday ammanonna.
25 choosing rather to share ill treatment with God's people, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a time;
Musey nagaran guutha wodes ufayttanaappe, Xoossaa asaara waaye ekkanayssa dooris.
26 considering the abuse suffered for the Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt; for he looked to the reward.
I wodeppe demmana woytuwa tishshi oothidi xeellida gisho, Gibxe shaluwappe aathidi Kiristtoosa gisho borettanayssi daro aadhdhiya duretethi gididayssa eris.
27 By faith, he left Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.
Musey Kawuwa hanquwa yayyonna, Gibxefe keyiday ammanonna. Benttonna Xoossaa be7ida asada hanidi ba qofan genccis.
28 By faith, he kept the Passover, and the sprinkling of the blood, that the destroyer of the firstborn should not touch them.
Hayqo ehiya kiitanchchoy Isra7eele asaa bayra nayta wodhonna mela Musey Faasikanne suutha wurxetha wogaa oothiday ammanonna.
29 By faith, they passed through the Red Sea as on dry land. When the Egyptians tried to do so, they were swallowed up.
Isra7eele asay mela biittara hamuttiyada hamuttidi, Zo7o Abbaa pinniday ammanonna. Shin Gibxe asay geli be7ishin haathay entta mittis.
30 By faith, the walls of Jericho fell down, after they had been encircled for seven days.
Isra7eele asay Iyaarkko katamaa shuchcha dirssaa laappun gallas yuuyidi, kunddidayssa ammanonna.
31 By faith, Rahab the prostitute did not perish with those who were disobedient, having received the spies in peace.
Laymiya Ra7aaba biittaa wochcheyssata mokkida gisho, kiitettonna asaara hayqqonna attiday ammanonna.
32 And what more should I say? For the time would fail me if I told of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, Samuel, and the prophets;
Hiza, haraa ta ay go? Gediyonabaa, Baaraqabaa, Samsoonabaa, Yofttaahebaa, Dawitebaa, Saamu7eelabaa, qassi nabetabaa odanaw taw wodey gidenna.
33 who, through faith subdued kingdoms, worked out righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,
Entti ammanon kawotethata xoonidosona; xillotethan aysidosona; Xoossay immana gida ufayssaa ekkidosona; gaammota doona gorddidosona;
34 quenched the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, from weakness were made strong, grew mighty in war, and caused foreign armies to flee.
tama wolqqaa toysidosona; morkkata mashshaafe attidosona; bantta daaburan minnidosona; olan wolqqaama gididosona; allaga toora goodidosona.
35 Women received their dead by resurrection. And others were tortured, not accepting the payment for release, that they might obtain a better resurrection.
Maccasati bantta hayqqidayssati hayqoppe paxin ekkidosona. Qassi harati aadhdhiya hayqoppe dendduwa ekkanaw koyidi qashuwappe bilettanayssa ixxidosona.
36 Others were tried by mocking and scourging, yes, moreover by bonds and imprisonment.
Harati asan borettidi lisson garaafettidosona; harati santhalaatan qashettidi qasho keethan yegettidosona.
37 They were stoned, they were sawed apart, they were put to the test, they were killed with the sword. They went around in sheepskins and in goatskins, being destitute, afflicted, mistreated
Entti suchchan cadettidosona; magaazen nam77a keyidi phalqqettidosona; paacettidosona; bison hayqqidosona; enttaw ubbabay dhayin metootidosona. Dorssa itenne deesha ite ma7idi yuuyidosona.
38 (of whom the world was not worthy), wandering in deserts, mountains, caves, and the holes of the earth.
Enttaw ha alamey giigonna ixxin bazzo biittan, dere bolla, gonggoloninne olla giddon yuuyidosona.
39 These all, having had testimony given to them through their faith, did not receive the promise,
Xoossay entta ammanuwabaa markkattikokka, he ubbay geetettida ufayssa qaala ekkibookkona.
40 God having provided some better thing concerning us, so that apart from us they should not be made perfect.
Xoossay nuus lo77obaa qoppi wothida gisho entti nuuni baynna polo gidokkona.
A Dove is Sent Forth from the Ark
