< Hebrews 11 >

1 Is now faith of [things] hoped for [the] assurance, of things [the] conviction not being seen.
Ugbu a, okwukwe bụ inwe obi ike banyere ihe ndị a na-ele anya ha na inwe owuweanya banyere ihe a na-ahụbeghị anya.
2 In this for were commended the ancients.
Nʼihi na ọ bụ site nʼokwukwe ka e ji gbaara ndị ochie ama.
3 By faith we understand to have been formed the ages by declaration of God so that which not out of [things] being visible (the [thing] being seen *N(k)O*) becoming. (aiōn g165)

4 By faith a more excellent sacrifice Abel than Cain offered to God, through which he was testified to be righteous bearing witness to the gifts of him (God; *NK(o)*) and through it having died still (he speaks. *N(k)O*)
Ebel sitere nʼokwukwe chụọ aja dị mma nye Chineke karịa aja nke Ken chụrụ; nke e si na ya gụnye ya nʼonye ezi omume. Chineke kwuru okwu banyere onyinye ya. Ma ugbu a, ọ bụ ezie na ọ nwụọlarị ma ọ ka na-ekwu okwu site nʼokwukwe.

6 Without now faith [it is] impossible to please [Him]; To believe for it behooves the one drawing near to God that He exists and [that] to those earnestly seeking out Him a rewarder He becomes.
Ọ bụ ihe siri ike mmadụ ime ihe ga-atọ ya ụtọ ma ọ bụrụ na onye ahụ enweghị okwukwe. Nʼihi na onye na-abịakwute Chineke nso aghaghị ikwe na ọ dị. Na ọ bụkwa onye na-akwụghachi onye ọbụla na-achọsi ya ike ụgwọ.
7 By faith having been divinely instructed Noah concerning the [things] not yet seen having been moved with fear he prepared an ark for [the] salvation of the household of him, through which he condemned the world and of the according to faith righteousness [that is] he became heir.

9 By faith he sojourned in (the *k*) land of the promise as [in] a foreign [country] in tents having dwelt with Isaac and Jacob the joint-heirs of the promise same;
Okwukwe ka o jiri biri dịka ọbịa nʼala ahụ e kwere ya na nkwa, na-ebi nʼụlọ ikwu, ya na Aịzik na Jekọb, bụ ndị e kwere ya na ha otu nkwa ahụ.
10 He was awaiting for the foundations having city of which [the] architect and builder [is] God.
Nʼihi na ọ na-ele anya ala ahụ nke nwere ntọala, nke onye tụrụ atụmatụ ya ma wuokwa ya bụ Chineke.
11 By faith also herself Sarah ([being] barren *N*) power for [the] conception of seed received even beyond [the] opportune age (she brought forth *K*) since faithful she considered the [One] having promised.

Ndị a niile nwere okwukwe nwụrụ na-anataghị nkwa ahụ, ma site nʼebe dị anya ha hụrụ ma nabatakwa nkwa ndị a. Ha kwupụtakwara na ha bụ ndị ọbịa na ndị mba ọzọ nʼụwa.
14 Those for such things saying make manifest that their country they are seeking.
Ndị na-ekwu otu a na-ezipụta na ha na-ele anya obodo nke aka ha.
15 And if indeed that [one] (they were remembering *NK(o)*) from where (they came out, *N(k)O*) they had then would opportunity to return;
Ọ bụrụ na ha na-eche echiche banyere obodo nke ha hapụrụ, ha gaara enwe ohere ịlaghachi azụ.

Site nʼokwukwe Ebraham ji Aịzik chụọ aja mgbe a nwalere ya. Onye ahụ natara ihe ndị ahụ e kwere nkwa, dị njikere iji otu nwa ahụ o nwere chụọ aja,
18 as to whom it was said that In Isaac will be reckoned your offspring;
ọ bụ ezie na Chineke kwuru maka ya, “Ọ bụ site nʼAịzik ka a ga-akpọ mkpụrụ gị aha.”
19 having reasoned that even out from [the] dead to raise able [was] God, from where him also in a simile he received.

24 By faith Moses grown having become he refused to be named [the] son of [the] daughter of Pharaoh,
Site nʼokwukwe, Mosis e kweghị aza nwa ada Fero mgbe o tolitere.
25 rather having chosen to suffer affliction with the people of God than [the] temporary to have of sin enjoyment;
Ọ họọrọ isoro ụmụ Chineke keta oke na mmegbu ha karịa inwe aṅụrị nke mmehie.
26 greater wealth having esteemed than that (in *k*) (Egypt *N(k)O*) treasures the reproach of Christ; he was looking for toward the reward.
O kpebiri na ọ bụ ihe karịchara mma ịhụ ahụhụ nʼihi Kraịst, kama inweju akụ niile nke Ijipt afọ. Nʼihi na o nwere olileanya maka ụgwọ ọrụ dị nʼihu.

32 And what more shall I say? Will fail me for telling the time of Gideon, Barak, (both and *k*) Samson, (and *k*) Jephthah, David also and Samuel and the prophets;

Ụmụ nwanyị natara ndị ha nwụrụ anwụ, site na mbilite nʼọnwụ. Ndị ọzọ naara ntaramahụhụ, ha jụrụ ịnata mgbapụta ka ha nwee ike nata mbilite nʼọnwụ ka mma.
36 Others then of mockings and of scourgings trial received, in addition also of chains and imprisonment;
E ji ụfọdụ mere ihe ọchị, tiekwa ha ihe otiti, ọ bụladị ike ha agbụ na ịtụ ha mkpọrọ.
