Hebrews 11
1 Now faith is being confident of what we hope for, convinced about things we do not see.
Jumeinak tak ti hin käh mi hmuh thei ja mi äpeia khana mlung üpnaka kyaki ni.
2 For by this, the people of old were attested.
Ahlana khyange naw ami jumeinaka phäh ni Pamhnam naw a jah ksing ta.
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)
Am mi hmuh theinak üngka mi hmuh thei vaia khawmdek ja khankhaw sepbeiki cun Pamhnama ngthu ni tia mi ksingnak cun jumeinak üngkhyüh ni. (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.
Kaihnaha ngkengnaka kthaka daw bawkia ngkengnak Abelah naw Pamhnam üng a pet hin jumeinak kyaki. A jumeinaka phäh ngsungpyunkia Pamhnam naw a pyen, isetiakyaküng, Pamhnam amät naw a peta ngkengnak cun a doei pet ni. Abelah thi päng kyaw lüpi ania mawng cun a jumeinak naw pyen hamki ni.
5 By faith, Hanoch 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.
Jumeinaka phäh va Enawk am thi. Ani cun Pamhnama veia kai be lü u naw pi am hmu u, isetiakyaküng, ani cun Pamhnam naw a lak be ni. Cangcim naw a pyen ta Pamhnam jesakia kya lü Enawk cun Pamhnam naw a lak be ni.
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.
Jumeinak am taki au naw pi Pamhnam am jesak, Pamhnam veki tia jumnak ta lü Pamhnama vei law lü suileiki cun ngkhyengnak yah khai.
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.
Malama law khai am a hmuh thei Pamhnama mcäinak cun Nawe naw Jumeinak am ngjaki. Pamhnama pyen kcang na lü mlawngnu a saka phäh a imkyawng lätnak yahkie. Khawmdek cun mkümnak kham lü Nawe naw jumeinak üngkhyüh lawkia ngsungpyunnak yahki.
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.
Pamhnam naw khyütam lü a pet vai pe cua Abraham Pamhnam naw a khü üng a kcangnak cun jumeinaka phäha kyaki. Hawa a cehnak vai am ksing xa lü ani naw a pe cun hawih hütki ni.
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.
Ani cun jumeinaka phäh üng Pamhnam naw khyü a tam peta pe cua khina kba ngtuinglengki. Ani cun hjam üng ve lü Pamhnama khyütam yahki Isak ja Jakop pi acukba ve hngaki xawi.
10 For he looked for the city which has foundations, whose architect and builder is God.
Abraham cun naw angläta ngkhängkia Pamhnam naw a sawngsak peta mlüh cun k'äiheiki ni.
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.
Sarah cun am cana khawh ti lü Abraham pi xü ngvai tawng kyaw sepi jumeinak naw ani cun pa tia thawn law khawhki. Akhyütam cun a mänak vaia Pamhnam cun ümnaki.
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.
Abraham cun mtisa lama thi kyaw lüpi ani üngkhyüh mpanglai pei veki am mi kheh khawha mdihe ja khankhaw veki aisiea kba a tuca khawhah ve lawki ni.
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.
Ahina khyange cun jumeinak üng thikie. Pamhnama khyütam cun amimi naw am yahei u lüpi amimi cun khawmdeka cencawn u lü khinnghleia kba dokhamnak yahei khaie ti cun ajan üngkhyüh hmukie ni.
14 For those who say such things make it clear that they are seeking a country of their own.
Amimi naw ami pe vai suileikie ti cun ahi bange naw angsinga mdanki ni.
15 If indeed they had been thinking of that country from which they went out, they would have had enough time to return.
Ami hawih hüta pe cun am cungai ti u, acun hin ami cungaiha kyaküng nglat be khawhkie ni.
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.
Akdaw bawka pe khankhaw pe cun äpeikie ni. Amimia Pamhnam tia khü vaia Pamhnam cun am ngkeei, isetiakyaküng, Pamhnam naw amimia phäha mlüh cun pyangthamki ni.
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;
Pamhnam naw Abraham a cam üng Abraham naw jumeinaka phäh a ca Isak cun ngkengnaka kba Pamhnam üng peki ni. Abrahama vei Pamhnam naw a peta khyütam mata kya kyaw lüpi a ca mat däk cun ngkengnaka kba pe khaia ngtüneiki ni.
18 even he to whom it was said, "In Isaac will your descendants be called;"
Pamhnam naw ania vei, “Isak üngkhyüh ka ning peta khyütam na tucae cun na yah khai,” a ti.
19 concluding that God is able to raise up even from the dead. Figuratively speaking, he also did receive him back from the dead.
Pyen vai ania kyaküng, Abraham cun naw thihnak üngkhyüh Isak cun Pamhnam naw mtho be khawhki tia ngaiki, acuna kyase Abraham naw Isak cun thihnak üngkhyüh yahei beki ni.
20 By faith, Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau, even concerning things to come.
Jumeinak naw Isak cun malama law khai Jakop ja Etawa phäh dawkyanaka khyütam cun pawhki ni.
21 By faith, Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, and bowed over the top of his staff.
Jumeinaka phäh Jakop naw Josepa ca xawi am a thih ham üng dawkyanak jah peki ni. Lam a cehnak sawngkhe cun üng nghnganei lü Pamhnam cun hjawkhahki ni.
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.
Jumeinaka phäh Josep naw a thi law hlühnüh üng Isarele Egypt üngkhyüh ami ceh be vai ua mawng pyen lü a yawk cun ihawkba ami pawh vai cun jah mcuhmthehki ni.
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.
Jumeinaka phäh Mosi a hmi käna a nupa xawi naw khya kthum ami cüm ni. Hnasen cun ngtokia ami hmuha phäh käh kyühei lü sangpuxanga pyen cun kpetki xawi ni.
24 By faith, Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter,
Jumeinaka phäh Mosi adäm law üng Pharoa ca nghnua capaa ngsuinak cun hawihki ni.
25 choosing rather to share ill treatment with God's people, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a time;
Ani naw asäng mkhye üng jekyaia kthaka Pamhnama khyange am khuikha vai cun tängki ni.
26 considering the abuse suffered for the Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt; for he looked to the reward.
Ani naw Mesijaha khuikhanak hin Egypta ka khawhthema kthaka dawki ti cun süm lü malama vekia ngkhyengnak cun bük kyetki ni.
27 By faith, he left Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.
Jumeinaka phäh Mosi naw Pharoa mlung sonak käh kyühei lü egypt cun cehtaki ni. Am hmuh theia Pamhnam cun hmu lü a nglat law be vai maki ni.
28 By faith, he kept the Passover, and the sprinkling of the blood, that the destroyer of the firstborn should not touch them.
Jumeinaka phäh Isarelea ca kcüke Thihnaka Ngsä naw käh a jah hnim vaia ksawh naküt üng thi kthüih vai ja kphyawnnak cun tüneiki ni.
29 By faith, they passed through the Red Sea as on dry land. When the Egyptians tried to do so, they were swallowed up.
Jumeinaka phäh Isarele naw Mpanglai Sen cun kawnga ami ceha kba citkie; Egypt khyange cit khaia ami ngtün üng tui üng ngcum päihkie ni.
30 By faith, the walls of Jericho fell down, after they had been encircled for seven days.
Jumeinaka phäh Isarele naw Jerikho ngvawng cun mhnüp khyüh ami leng käna pyaki ni.
31 By faith, Rahab the prostitute did not perish with those who were disobedient, having received the spies in peace.
Jumeinaka phäh nghnumi kse Rahap naw Isarel msäke a püiea mäiha a jah dokhama phäha Pamhnam am kcangnakie jah hnimnak üngkhyüh lätki ni.
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;
Ka pyen ham khai aw? Sahmae ja Kihdong, Barak, Samson, Jephatah, Davit, Samuilah jah pyennaka kcün vai am lawk ti ve.
33 who, through faith subdued kingdoms, worked out righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,
Jumeinaka phäh amimi naw khyawngpe jah tu u lü jah nängkie. Akcang i ti cun pawh u lü Pamhnama khyütam i ti cun pi yaheikie ni. Hengsih hea mpyawng ami jah mkhüpsak,
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.
mei kdäie pi jah mthih lü kcim am jah hnimnak vai üng pi lätki he ni. Amimi cun ktha ngcek u lüpi kthamah law u lü ngtukahnak üng kthamah u lü khyangkce ami yee cun jah nängkie ni.
35 Women received their dead by resurrection. And others were tortured, not accepting the payment for release, that they might obtain a better resurrection.
Nghnumie naw jumeinak üngkhyüh thikiea ami mjüphyüie cun akxünga tho law bekie cun jah yahei bekie ni. Akcee ta xünnak akdaw bawk ami yahei vaia mhlätnak cun mah u lü mkhuimkhanak kham lü thikie ni.
36 Others were tried by mocking and scourging, yes, moreover by bonds and imprisonment.
Avang cun jah yaihyün lü jah kpai, akcee cun jah khun u lü thawng üng ami jah khyum ni.
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
Lung am ami jah khawng tawng, hlah am jah kthawt tawng lü kcim am ami jah hnim ni. Ami cun mpyenksekie, mkhuimkha kham u lü ami jah mdihmsuia kya lü toe ja meea vun cun suisa lü cit hükie ni.
38 (of whom the world was not worthy), wandering in deserts, mountains, caves, and the holes of the earth.
Khawmdek cun amimia phäh am daw ve! Amimi cun mdek khui ja khuikawke ja mcunge ja khawkhyawnga mpyenksea kba citcawn hükie ni.
39 These all, having had testimony given to them through their faith, did not receive the promise,
Ami jumeinaka phäh ahinea calang cun ami yah ni. Lüpi Pamhnama khyütam cun am yah u,
40 God having provided some better thing concerning us, so that apart from us they should not be made perfect.
isetiakyaküng, Pamhnam naw mimia phäh bünak akdaw bawk a mkhyah pänga phäh ni. Ania nümnak cun mimi ngpüi lü ami kümcei vaia phäh ni.
