Hebrews 11
1 Now faith is being confident of what we hope for, convinced about things we do not see.
Ulyeteho ni lioli yalinayo umntu lwagolela ahantu ahamo hudandamazu. Ahantu hasanga haoneshe awe uyinga lioli.
2 For by this, the people of old were attested.
Nantele awababu wetu waheteshe kwa lweteho lwao.
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)
Kwa lweteho timenye aje munsi wahawombwelwe hundajizwa zya Ngolobhe, aje hala hahawoneha sagahahagombwilwe afume huvintu vivioneha. (aiōn g165)
4 By faith, Hevel 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.
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, Hanokh 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.
U Henoko ahali nulweteho ahengwilwe humwanya sagaahalolile ufye. “Sagaahawoneshe, kwa vile ilinenwa juu yake kuwa alimpendeza Ungolobhe ahamwenjile” humwanya.
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.
Bila lweteho sagauwajie hugwezye Ungolobhe, yawala hwa Ngolobhe ahnaziwa awe nulweteho aje Ungolobhe. Akhala naje ahuwapela izawadi wala wawahumwanzo.
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.
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, 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.
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 a land of promise, as a foreigner, living in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him 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 looked for the city which has foundations, whose architect and builder is God.
Huje ahasowenye ahwenje umji wapime na wazenje yu Ngolobhe yuyo.
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.
Ihali lweteho aje Ibrahimu, nu Sala yuyo wahaposheye ingovu zya amyemye ulwanda lakini wahali wagogolo hani wahombile Ungolowe aje golosu. Ahawasowezezye umwana wishilume.
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.
Huje afume hwamuntu oyo weka yahakaribiye afye wahapapwa awana wasagawazye. Wahali wichi nazi inzota zya humwanya na msanga wa hu bahari.
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.
Ewe wonti wahafyiye nu lwetiko sagawahaposhea ulusuwelo. Ila wahalolile wahakalibisizye hwahutali waheteshe aje wahali wajenu aje washila shila munsi yao wewo.
14 For those who say such things make it clear that they are seeking a country of their own.
Wala wawayanganga amambo nazi engo awashe wahuanza insi yao wewo.
15 If indeed they had been thinking of that country from which they went out, they would have had enough time to return.
Lioli nkawasewenga insi yawahafumile indi walininafasi ya wele, wangelikuwa na nafasi ya kurejea.
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.
Eshi shileho wanyonywa insi yilishinza ya humwanya. Eshi Ungolobhe sangaalola isoni akwiziwe Ngolobhi wao yuyo agombile umji khaajili yao.
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;
Ihali ilweteho u Abrahamu ahapata ingelo, ahafumya u Isaka. Umwene ahapashela ulusuwelo husheshelo, ahafumizye umwana wakwe weka,
18 even he to whom it was said, "In Isaac will your descendants be called;"
yuyuyo ahayangwile, “Afume hwa Isaka ishikholoshakwe azakwiziwe.”
19 concluding that God is able to raise up even from the dead. Figuratively speaking, he also did receive him back from the dead.
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, even concerning things to come.
Ihali lweteho aje u Isaka ahasaile uYakobo nu Esau ahusu amambo gagahuenza.
21 By faith, Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, and bowed over 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, when his end was near, made mention of the departure of the children of Israel; and gave instructions concerning 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, 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.
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 had grown up, 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 share ill treatment with God's people, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a time;
Pamande ahasaluye ahale na malawa peka na wantu wa Ngolobhe saga ahasungwenzye ianasa imbiwi izya papepe.
26 considering the abuse suffered for the Messiah greater riches than the treasures of Egypt; for he looked to the reward.
Ahasewele isoni ya hufuante uKristi aje uutajili ugosi kuliko imali ya Mmisri ahakazile amaso ahunye izawadi husiku zizihwenza.
27 By faith, he left Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.
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 firstborn should 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 land. When the Egyptians tried to do so, they 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 down, after they had been encircled for seven days.
Ihali lwetiho aje uluwumba wa Yeriko wahagwiye pasi, wahazwongolile isiku saba.
31 By faith, Rahab the prostitute did not perish with those who were disobedient, 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 What more shall I say? For the time would fail me if I told of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, 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, through faith subdued kingdoms, worked out righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,
aje ashilile ulweteho wahazimenile umwene wahawombile ihaki na wahaposheye ulusuwelo, wahazinjile amalomu gihanu,
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.
wahazimile ingovu zwonti zi moto wahaponjele uwonji wipanga wahapona afume hu mpungo, wahali wadandamazu iwho wahezele awalogo awajenu wahashembeye.
35 Women received their dead by resurrection. And others were tortured, not accepting the payment for 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 Others were tried by mocking and scourging, yes, moreover by bonds and imprisonment.
Awamo wahalawile, wahasoshele, wahashetwilwe, nantele wahapinywilwe mwijela.
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
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), wandering in deserts, mountains, caves, and the holes of the earth.
(ewo munsi sagabhahazwanga awe nao), wahaziongolaga ziongolanga mwihombe, mwigamba, magwenya, mmagondi igamusni.
39 These all, having had testimony given to them through their faith, did not receive the promise,
Lelo awantu wonti ewo Ungolobhe ahawenteshe wahali nulweteho, sagawahaposheye indangano.
40 God having provided some better thing concerning us, so that apart from us they should not be made perfect.
Ungolobhe ahalongeye hutupele ahantu ahiza, aje bilaante sangawawajie.
