Hebrews 11
1 Now faith is the persuasion of the things that are in hope, as if they were in act; and it is the manifestness of the things not seen.
Linu, Intumelo kukolwa zintu zosepa chakulibelele. Bupaki buamana ni zintu ziseni kubonwa.
2 And for it the ancients are well testified of.
Chebakalyakuti bazazi betanzi baba amuhelwa chetumelo yabo.
3 For by faith, we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God; and that things seen, originated from those that are not seen. (aiōn g165)
Chetumelo tuzuwisisa kuti inkanda ibabumbwa chetaelo ya Ireeza, njokuti chibonekete kenezibapangiwa kuzwa hazintu zibabwenekete. (aiōn g165)
4 By faith, Abel offered to God a better sacrifice than that of Cain; and on account of it, he is testified of that he was righteous, and God bore testimony to his offering; and in consequence thereof, though dead he yet speaketh.
Ibali chetumelo kuti Abele apangile Ireeza chitabelo chihita cha Kaine, imi kuzwaho abapangiwa kuba yonjolwele, imi Ireeza abawambi bulotu kuamana ni chachitabelo chakwe. Imi chetumelo Abele usikwete kuwamba, nihafwile.
5 By faith, Enoch was translated, and did not taste death; and he was not found, because God had translated him: for, before he translated him, there was testimony of him, that he pleased God.
Ibali chetumelo kuti Enoke abahindilwa kwiwulu, njokuti kanababoni ifu.” Kanabawaniki, kakuli Ireeza abamuhindi. “Mukuti naseni kuhindilwa kwiwulu, kubapakiwa kuti abakutabisa Ireeza.
6 But, without faith, a man cannot please God. For he that draweth near to God, must believe his existence, and that he will recompense those who seek him.
Linu chosena intumelo kahenakuhuba kumutabisa. Mukuti kwina nenza kuti zumwi hakeza kwa Ireeza uswanela kuzumina kuti kwena uhala imi kuti njimuhi wamipuzo yabo bamusaka.
7 By faith Noah, when he was told of things not seen, feared; and he made himself an ark, for the life of his household; whereby he condemned the world, and became an heir of the righteousness which is by faith.
Ibali chetumelo kuti Nuwe, hamana kuhewa mulaezo kuamana nizintu ziseni kubonwa, chekute lyabuireeza awole kuzaka chikepe kuhuna bezubo yakwe. Chakutenda bulyo, abanyazi inkanda ni kuba muyoli wazinjolola ziyendelela chakuya chetumelo.
8 By faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed, and departed to the place which he was to receive for an inheritance: and he departed, while he knew not whither he was going.
Ibali chetumelo kuti Abrahama, chosumpwa, abakuteki ni kuzwa nakaya kwabali kukatambwila kuyola chanda. Abazwi nakaya, nasezi kuti ukaya kuhi.
9 By faith, he became a resident in the land that was promised him, as in a foreign land; and abode in tents, with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise.
Ibali chetumelo kuti abahali kuhala muchisi chesepiso nali muzwahule. Abahali kuhala mumatente ni Isaka ni Jakobo, babali bayoli besepiso iswana.
10 For he looked for the city that hath a foundation, of which the builder and maker is God.
Mukuti abalolete kubusu kumuleneni wina mitomo, utenda kuti mufundeli ni muzaki uswanela kuba nji Ireeza.
11 By faith, Sarah also, who was barren, acquired energy to receive seed; and, out of the time of her years, she brought forth; because she firmly believed, that he was faithful who had promised her.
Ibali chetumelo, nihakubabulyo Sarah iyemwine kanabali kupepa, mukuti Abrahama abawani maata akupepa. Izi zibapangahali bulyo, nihakuba kuti chabasupele, sina hakuhupulwa chabusepahali kozi ababahi chibaka chesepiso.
12 Therefore, from one man failing through age, numbers were born, like the stars in the heavens, and like the sand on the shore of the sea which is innumerable.
Chobulyo, kuzwila kumukwame umwina, chabali kuboneka kufwile, njabazali bantu benjihite sina inkani mwiwulu imi sina isekeseke lyamwiwate, usawoleki kubalwa.
13 All these died in faith, and received not their promise; but they saw it afar off, and rejoiced in it; and they confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.
Ibali mwitumelo kuti bonse bafwile kana bababoni isepiso zabo. Linu, kuzwa hakubabona ni kubalumelisa chibasina kule, babazumini kuti bayezi imi bahitite munkanda isali yabo.
14 Now they who say thus, show that they seek a city.
Mukuti abo bawamba izozintu bawamba chabuniti kuti bakabusaka munzi wakwikala.
15 But if they had been seeking that city from which they came out, they had opportunity to return again and go to it.
Haiba babali kuzeza inkanda kubabayendi, babakuwola kuba ni nako yakubola.
16 But now it is manifest that they longed for a better city than that, namely, for that which is in heaven. Therefore God did not refuse to be called their God; for he prepared for them the city.
Kono kuya kamukwikalile, ni balakaza inkanda ina hande, ili, yakwiulu. Chobulyo Ireeza kaswabiswa kusumpwa Ireeza wabo, chebakalakuti ababa lukisezi muleneñi wabo.
17 By faith Abraham, in his trial, offered up Isaac; and he laid on the altar his only son, whom he had received by promise.
Ibali chetumelo kuti Abrahama, habali kulikiwa, kupanga Isaka chitabelo. Abali njiyeke mwana mukwame yabali kuha, iye yabatambuli insepiso.
18 For it had been said to him, In Isaac shall thy seed be called.
Ibali nji kwa Abrahama kuzibali kuwambwa, “Ibali chenzila ya Isaka kuti behwa babehwa bako kababikwe izina.
19 And he reasoned with himself, that God was able even to raise him from the dead: and therefore, in the similitude of a resurrection, he was restored to him.
Abrahama abahupuli kuti Ireeza wina maata akubusa Isaka kubafwile, imi kuwamba buniti, aba mubozekezwa.
20 By faith in what was to be, Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau.
Ibali chetumelo hape kuamana ni zintu zakubusu kuti Isaka afuyole Jakobo ni Isau.
21 By faith Jacob, when dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, and bowed himself on the top of his staff.
Ibali chetumelo kuti Jakobo, mwinako yakufwa, habafuyoli zumwi ni zumwi wabana ba Josefa. Jakobo abalapeli, nazendamine hekoli yakwe.
22 By faith Joseph, when dying, was mindful of the departure of the children of Israel, and gave direction concerning his bones.
Ibali chetumelo kuti Josefa, habona kuti mamanimani akwe chachunine, abawambi chakufunduka kwabana Baisilaele kuzwa mwa Egepita imi chabalaela kuamana ni zifuha zakwe.
23 By faith the parents of Moses, after he was born, hid him three months; because they saw he was a goodly child; and they were not deterred by the command of the king.
Ibali chetumelo kuti Mushe, hapepywa, bashemi bakwe babamuwungwile myezi yotatwe kakuli bababwene kuti mwana mulotu. Kana babatiyi bakeñi chetaelo ya Simwine.
24 By faith Moses, when be became a man, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter.
Ibali chetumelo kuti Mushe, chokula, chakana kusumpwa mwan'a wa mwan'a Simwine wa mwanakazana.
25 And he chose to be in affliction with the people of God, and not to live luxuriously in sin for a short season:
Chebakalyakuti, abaliketeli kunyanda ni bantu ba Ireeza, kuhita kulikola minyaka ya cheve chenakozana.
26 and he esteemed the reproach of the Messiah a greater treasure than the hoarded riches of Egypt; for he looked upon the recompense of reward.
Abanahani kuti kunyanda kwakwichilila Jesu Christe kuhita chifumu chamwa Egepita. Mukuti ababikite menso akwe kuzetawane.
27 By faith, he left Egypt, and was not terrified by the wrath of the king; and he continued to hope, just as if he saw the invisible God.
Ibali chetumelo kuti Mushe azwe mwa Egepita. Kanabatiyi bubengi bwasimwine, mukuti abanyandi sina yobwene yasabonwa.
28 By faith, they kept the passover, and the sprinkling of blood, that he who destroyed the first-born might not approach them.
Ibali chetumelo kuti abakuteki Ipasaka ni kusanselwa kwamalaha, kokuti musinyasinyi wa mwana wetanzi sanzi akwati bana betanzi bachiswisu ba Maisilaele.
29 By faith, they passed the Red Sea, as on dry land; and in it the Egyptians were swallowed up, when they dared to enter it.
Ibali chetumelo hababahiti mwiwate lisubila sina babali kuyenda muzumite. Maegepita habalika kutenda bulyo, babaminwa.
30 By faith, the walls of Jericho fell down, when they had been encompassed seven days.
Ibali chetumelo kuti mamota a Jeriko habawili hansi, kasamulaho akuzimbulukwa mazuba amana iyaza ni obele.
31 By faith Rahab, the harlot, perished not with them who believed not, when she received the spies in peace.
Ibali chetumelo Rahaba wehule hasana abafwi nabana basana babakukuteki, kakuli abatambuli matwela chekozo.
32 What more shall I say? For I have little time to tell of Gideon, and of Barak, and of Sampson, and of Jephtha, and of David, and of Samuel, and of the other prophets:
Imi chinzi hape chiniwola kuwamba? Mukuti inako kayinizuminini haiba niniwamba kaza Gedioni, Baraki, Samsoni, Japhethah, Davida, Samwele ni ziamana ni bapolofita.
33 who, by faith, subdued kingdoms, and wrought righteousness, and received promises, and shut the mouths of lions,
Ibali chetumelo hababahapi mibuso, kusebeleza buniti, imi babatambuli insepiso. Babeyali milomo ibandavu,
34 and quenched the force of fire, and were rescued from the edge of the sword, and were healed of diseases, and became strong in battle, and routed the camps of enemies,
Babazimisi maata amulilo, baba banduki bukali bwamukwale, babahozwa kumatuku, bababi indwalume mukondo imi babakomi impi zakunze.
35 and restored to women their children, by a resurrection from the dead. And some died under tortures, and did not hope to escape, that there might be for them a better resurrection;
Banakazi bababozekezwa bafwile babo chakubuswa. Bamwi baba nyandiswa, chakusamuhela kulukuluwa kokuti nibawane kubuswa kwina nenza.
36 and others endured mockings and, scourgings; others were delivered up to bonds and prisons;
Bamwi babakuliwa chakushengunwinwa ni kushumpwa, mane ni kuhambwa nisimbi ni kubikwa mutolongo.
37 others were stoned; others were sawed; others died by the edge of the sword; others roamed about clothed in sheep skins and goat skins, and were needy, and afflicted, and agitated;
Babapwacholwa ni mabwe. Babanokolwa zilama zobele. Babehayiwa chamikwale. Babazw ni kuyenda nibazabele makabi embelele ni ipene. Bababotanite, babalyatililwe, kunyandiswa.
38 persons of whom the world was not worthy, and yet they were as wanderers in the desert, and in mountains, and in caves, and in caverns of the earth.
Inkanda kana ibali kubaswanela. Babali kuyembana mwihalaupa, mumalundu, mumabwe, ni mumalindi mukunsi ke inkanda.
39 And all these, of whose faith there is testimony, received not the promise:
Nihakubabulyo bonse bantu babapakwa ni Ireeza chebaka lyetumelo yabo, kana babamuheli insepiso.
40 because God had provided the aid for us; so that without us they should not be perfected.
Ireeza abatuleleli zintu zina hande, kokuti kwande yetu, kete nibatendwe bashiyeme nenza.
