Hebrews 11
1 Now faith is assurance of things hoped for, a conviction of things not seen.
Bhai ngulupai ni kutolelela kuti kweli ga indu ilolelwa, ni kukulupalila indu ikabhoneka.
2 For by it the elders obtained a good report.
Pabha, kwa ligongo lya ngulupai jabhonji ashinakulu bhetu bhashinkukong'ondelwanga ukoto na a Nnungu.
3 Through faith we perceive that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that that which is seen hath not been made out of things which appear. (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 to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he received testimony that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts; and by it though dead he yet speaketh.
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, that he should not see death; and he was not found, because God translated him; for before his translation he had the testimony that he pleased God.
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 But without faith it is impossible to please him; for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of those who diligently seek 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, being warned by God of things not yet seen, moved with fear, prepared an ark for the saving of his house; by which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is 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, when called, obeyed to go forth to a place which he was afterward to receive for an inheritance, and went forth, not knowing whither he was going.
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 in a foreign country, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him 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 which hath foundations, whose maker and builder is God.
Pabha a Bhulaimu bhatendaga lolela kushibhona shilambo shishenjilwe kwa majumba ga shimilika, shilambo shikumbwiywe na shengwa na a Nnungu.
11 Through faith Sarah herself also received power to conceive, even when she was past age, because she accounted him faithful who had promised.
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 Wherefore there sprang even from one, and him become as dead, a race like the stars of heaven in multitude, and like the sand by the seashore which cannot be numbered.
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 These all died in faith, not having received the promised blessings, but having seen them from afar, and greeted them, and having professed that they were 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 they who say such things show plainly that they are seeking 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 out, they would have had opportunity to return;
Monaga bhakaganishiyenje ga shilambo shabhonji shibhashileshilenje bhukala, bhakapatilenje muubhujilo kweneko.
16 but now they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly. Wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God; for he prepared for them a city.
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, when tried, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises was offering up his only-begotten son,
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 he to whom it was said, “From Isaac shall thine offspring be reckoned;”
Nkali a Nnungu bhaabhalanjile, kupitila kwa a Ishaka shinkole lubheleko shilushemwe lwenu.
19 accounting that God is able even to raise from the dead; whence also he did figuratively receive him back.
A Bhulaimu bhaganishiye kuti a Nnungu bhanakombola kunnyuya mundu awile, kwa nneyo ni malinga bhashikumpata kabhili Ishaka akaweje.
20 By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau even concerning things to come.
Kwa ngulupai a Ishaka bhashinkwaapanganga mboka a Yakobho na a Eshau nndamo ja mobha ga kwiya.
21 By faith Jacob, when dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph; and worshipped, leaning upon 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, when dying, made mention of the departure of the sons of Israel, and gave directions 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, when born, was hidden three months by his parents, because they saw that the child was fair and they feared not the king's commandment.
Kwa ngulupai, bhankwetenje Musha bhashinkunng'iyanga myei jitatu akabhelekweje, pabha bhashinkummonanga mwana jwa konja, wala bhakajogopenjeje amuli ja a mpalume.
24 By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called son of Pharaoh's daughter,
Kwa ngulupai, Musha akakuleje, ashinkukana kushemwa mwana jwa abhiti Palao.
25 choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin 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 esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt; for he looked to the recompense 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 forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he endured as seeing him who is invisible.
Kwa ngulupai, a Musha bhashinkujabhula ku Mishili gwangali jogopa nnjimwa ja a mpalume, bhashikwiikakatimila pabha bhaabhweni a Nnungu bhakaabhoneka bhala.
28 Through faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of the blood, that he who destroyed the first-born 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 the Egyptians attempted and 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 down, after they had been encompassed for seven days.
Kwa ngulupai, makumba ga Yeliko gashinkugwa, Bhaishilaeli bhakagatimbililanjeje kwa mobha shabha.
31 By faith Rahab the harlot did not perish with those who disobeyed, after 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 shall I say more? For the time would fail me to tell of Gideon, of Barak, and Samson, and Jephthah, of 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, wrought righteousness, obtained promised blessings, stopped the 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 edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, became mighty in war, put to flight the armies of the aliens.
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 back their dead by a resurrection; but others were tortured, not accepting deliverance, that they might obtain 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 had trial of mockings and scourgings, and also of bonds and imprisonment;
Bhananji bhashinkunyegaywanga nikomwa ndomondo, nitabhwa mindondolo niugalilwa mmagelesha.
37 they were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword; they went about in sheep-skins and goat-skins, being destitute, afflicted, tormented,
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; they wandered in deserts and mountains, and caves and the clefts of the earth.
Shilambolyo shikapwaileje kubha na bhandunji bha mmbonebha malinga bhanganyabho. Bhatendaga konangonanga nng'anga na mwitumbi, bhalitamangana mmashembo na mmaimbo.
39 And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promised blessing,
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 for us some better thing, that they might not be made perfect without us.
Pabha a Nnungu bhashinkulongolela kutubhishila indu ya mmbone kaje, nkupinga bhanganyabho bhanakamilishwanje gwangali uwe.
