Hebrews 11
1 Now faith is being confident of what we hope for, convinced about things we do not see.
Mɔla li dandanli tie yaasanbili daani paani. Li tie yaala gu yali ke a daa la.
2 For by this, the people of old were attested.
Lanya po ti danba bo gaa Kristi.
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)
Li dandanli po, ti tuo ke li ŋanduli den tagi U Tienu buama po wan bua maama. (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.
Li dandanli ya po i, ke Abel bo teni U Tienu yaa padli n cie cain. Lanya po i ke ti den la ke li ŋani. Ke U Tienu bo pagi o o sala po. Li dandanli po, Abel bo maadi yaala n ñani o po.
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.
Li dandanli po i ke Enɔki den ñani ke ji la kuuma; «o den ji la kelima U Tienu bo ñani o» kelima ki fidi ban ñani o, o den yedi ke U Tienu pali mani o po.
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.
dandanli yaa ye li pa yeni U Tienu pali n yaa mani a po. Kelima yua gaa U Tienu baa yaa daani ke o ye.
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.
Li dandanli yapo ke Nowe bo bandi li sɔnbiŋanli. Ke o den kɔni yeni liŋandunli ki yendi li dandanli gaama.
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.
Li dandanli po i ke Abraham bo fidi ki gadi naani keo bo gaa o faali. O bo caa ke a bani wan caa naani.
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.
Li dandanli po ke bo ye ki tinpuonkagi nni o caani yeni.
10 For he looked for the city which has foundations, whose architect and builder is God.
kelima o den guu yaa dogupienu ke U Tienu maa.
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.
Li dandanli gaama yaa po i ke Abraham fidi ki baa ki biga yeni o pua Sara n bo tie ŋɔlga. Li den tieni yeni wan bo padi kuli kelima bi bo ye yeni bi dandanli yua n bo puonma po.
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.
Lanyapo i ke yeni wan bo ciandi kuli, ke o baa bacianli. Bi ji bo yabi nani i ŋmabinmu yeni nani mi ñinciamo tanbiiniyeni ke kan tuo cɔdi.
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 foreigners and temporary residents on the earth.
Bi kuli bo ye yeni li dandanli ke puoni ba kuli ki tieni. Bi bo bandi ke bi tie canba ki tinga po.
14 For those who say such things make it clear that they are seeking a country of their own.
kelima yaaba n maadi lanya maama kuli lingi ban baa yaa ye naani.
15 If indeed they had been thinking of that country from which they went out, they would have had enough time to return.
Bi bo yaa bua ban ñani yaa dogu, nani bi guani ki kuni.
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.
Bi bo lingi dogu ŋanu ke o diedo den tuo ki gaaba ki lingi u dogu bi po.
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;
Lan ya po i ke Abraham n bo la yaa ŋanma ke o teni Izaka, li bo tie o bija yenga keo bo tuo ki teni o wan bo la lidandanli.
18 even he to whom it was said, "In Isaac will your descendants be called;"
Abraham ke o bo yedi o. «ke izaki po ke o miana ba ñaa.»
19 concluding that God is able to raise up even from the dead. Figuratively speaking, he also did receive him back from the dead.
Abraham bo tuo ke U Tienu baa fidi ki fiini Izaka.
20 By faith, Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau, even concerning things to come.
Li dandanli po i ke Izank yadi mi yediŋanli Jakoba yeni Izai po. Yaala n den nua yaa bona n kpendi po,
21 By faith, Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, and bowed over the top of his staff.
Li dandanli po i ke Jakoba n bo n bo bua kpe yaa yognu ke o bo yadi yediŋanma o biga zozefa po. Zakoba bo ñii o lanbanli po.
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.
Li dandanli po i ke zozefakuuma bonagidi ke o maadi yeni Israel bibi bi Egipti gadima po ke madiba ke ban tugi yeni o kpaba kuli.
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.
Li dandanli po i ke Moyizi wan bo mali ke o danba bo wuoni o ŋmaalita i kelima o bo ŋani, ki pendi. Bi bo ki jie o bado mala.
24 By faith, Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter,
Lanya po i ke Moyize n bo kpaadi o bo yie ke ban daa yuu Farawon bisalo bija.
25 choosing rather to share ill treatment with God's people, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a time;
O bo tuo li mabili yeni UTienu yaaba ki cie yeni wan yaa ye o manu nni.
26 considering the abuse suffered for the Messiah greater riches than the treasures of Egypt; for he looked to the reward.
O bo tuo i fe yeni Kristi kani ki cie Egipiti baali kelima o nunbina kuli bo ye ya baali n kpendi po.
27 By faith, he left Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.
O bo tuo ki gaa Kristi ke li tie baa cianli o po ki cie Egipiti baali. O bo ki jie o bado, o bo tuo fala ki daani yua ke waa baa ki laa.
28 By faith, he kept the Passover, and the sprinkling of the blood, that the destroyer of the firstborn should not touch them.
Li dandanli po i ke o bo tuo yaala n ye Israyeli.
29 By faith, they passed through the Red Sea as on dry land. When the Egyptians tried to do so, they were swallowed up.
Li dandanli po i ke o bo puodi li mɔgi mɔnli nni naani ki tinkuonga po, Egipiti yaaba bo bigni ke ban puodi bi bo baa mi ñinma nni.
30 By faith, the walls of Jericho fell down, after they had been encircled for seven days.
Li dandanli po i ke Jeriko guona bo baa yaa yognu ke bo lindiba danalele.
31 By faith, Rahab the prostitute did not perish with those who were disobedient, having received the spies in peace.
Li dandanli po i ke Raaba li conconli bo kikpe.
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;
Ti bia baa fidiki pugni be? kelima o yognu pɔdi yeni tin maadi Gedewon, Baraka, Samison, Jepiti, Davidi, Samiali yeni a labaali muanda kuli maama.
33 who, through faith subdued kingdoms, worked out righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,
Yaaba n den fidi bi tuoma po ki paadi bi baditieba diema ki kuani mi yanduama, ki baa i puondi.
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.
ki go gbindiyaa fantama n co jama ki sanikifaabi bi yulamu jugisiemu ñona nni, ki paani i yiani, ki tua jakɔnda bu tɔbu nni, ki deli bi nilaba tɔgola.
35 Women received their dead by resurrection. And others were tortured, not accepting the payment for release, that they might obtain a better resurrection.
Li dandanli po den cedi ke potɔba baa ke bi kpiiba n kpe gɔ ki fii bi tinkpiba siiga. Bi den waani bi nitianba mo fala ke baa tuo ki ga mi faabima kelima bi den bua ki baa yaa tinkpifiima ŋani ki cie.
36 Others were tried by mocking and scourging, yes, moreover by bonds and imprisonment.
Bi den ṅuadi bine ki pua ba i baliji, ki go kpaa bi tianba ti kpaadi ki kuani ba li kpaadidieli nni.
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
Bi den lugidi bine a tana, ki go waani bi tianba yeni mu jugisiemu. Bi nitianba mo den tie luoda ki gɔgɔdi ki yie ti pegbanli yeni ti ŋuagbandi, ke bi niba bia bipo ki wangi ba fala.
38 (of whom the world was not worthy), wandering in deserts, mountains, caves, and the holes of the earth.
ŋanduna ki den pundi ki yaa pia laa nimoanba o niinni. Bi den gɔgɔdi mi fanpienma nni yeni i fali nni kuli.
39 These all, having had testimony given to them through their faith, did not receive the promise,
Baa ke bani kuli den baa ke U Tienu tieni bipo o siediŋamo kelima bi dandanli yaa po, baa den baa wan den niani ba yaala,
40 God having provided some better thing concerning us, so that apart from us they should not be made perfect.
kelima U Tienu den jagi tipo yaala n ŋani ki cie, kaa bua ban ŋanbi ki dagidi cain ke tii ye lienni.
