Hebrews 11
1 It is because people trust [God] that they are sure that they will receive the things that they confidently expect [God to give them]. They are also certain [that they will see those things], though no one sees them yet.
Nene uyinnu sa uyenu, unere uyinnuari ule na unit dumun, idinin nayi akone ncaa nimomon, utabbas nimon ile na isa yene ba.
2 It was because our ancestors trusted in God that they pleased him.
Bara nanere acif bite iwa yinin nighinu bara uyinnu mine sa uyenu.
3 It is because we trust in God that we understand that he formed the universe by commanding [it to exist]. The result is that the things that we see were not made from things that already existed. (aiōn g165)
Kiti nyinnu sa uyenuari, tina yinin nworu iwasu makekewa kiti nbellu Kutelle, bara nworo imon ile na iwadi nyenju ba, iwa ke nanya nimon ile na idi sa uyenju. (aiōn g165)
4 It was because [Adam’s son] Abel trusted God that he sacrificed something better to God than what [his older brother] Cain offered to God. Because Abel did that, when God spoke well about what Abel sacrificed, God declared that Abel was righteous. And although Abel is dead, we still learn from him [about trusting God].
Uwadi kitene nyinnu sa uyenuari Habila wanii Kutelle uzaka dedeii na nafo gwane Kayinu ba, uwasa bara nanere iwa rughe bara lidu lilau, kutelle wa rughe bara uzaka na awa nii, bara nanere Habila duu nliru, nworu ana mal ukuu.
5 It was because Enoch believed [God that God] took him [up to heaven]. The result was that he did not die. No one found him, because he was taken up {[God] had removed him} from the earth [to heaven]. Before [God] took him away, [he] testified that Enoch pleased him well.
Nin nyinnu sa uyenuari wadi na iwa yaun Enok ku udu kitene na awa yenu ukuul ba, na iwa seghe ba, “Bara iwa woro awa poo Kutelle ayi kamin iwa yaun ghe udu kitene kani.
6 It is possible for people to please God only if they trust God, because anyone who wants to come to God must first believe that God exists and that he rewards those who seek [to know] him.
Tiwasa tipoo Kutelle ayi ba, asa ti dira uyinnu sa uyenu, bara ulenge na aba dak kiti Kutelle gbarsari ayinin au aduku, nin nworu adin nizu uduk kiti nalenge na idin piziru ghe.
7 It was because Noah trusted [God] that after he was warned by God {after [God] warned him} about [a flood that] had not yet happened, Noah [showed that he] revered God by building a huge ship to save his family. By doing that, he [showed all the people who did not believe him] [MTY] [that they deserved to be condemned] {[that God would] condemn them}. He was someone whom God declared to be righteous because of his trusting in God.
uwadi nin yinnu sa uyenuari, Kutelle was gbaru Nufu ku, mbellen nimon ile na Isa yene ba, nin durtu Kutelle akee uzirgi bara usu tucu kilari mye, bara usu nani amini wati uyu lawa anan ncaah nkuul, bara iwa da lawa anan fiu, Kutelle na udin dasu kiti nyinnu sa uyenu.
8 It was because Abraham trusted God that when he was told to go {when [God] told him to go}, he obeyed [God], he left [his own country], and went to a place that God would give him. Abraham left his own country, even though he did not know where he would be going.
Nin nyinnu sa uyenuari wati Ibrahim ku, kubi na Kutelle was yicilaghe, adofino anya udu kiti kanga na aba seru nafo ugadu, ame tinna anya sa uyiru kiti kaa na aba du.
9 It was because Abraham trusted God that he lived as though he was a foreigner in the land that [God] had promised to him. Abraham lived in tents, and his son Isaac and his grandson Jacob did also. God promised to give to Isaac and Jacob the same things that he promised to give Abraham.
Nin nyinnu sa uyenuari wati ghe adi so nkan kipin nafo kumara, adi so kudanga nin Ishaku a Yakubu, adodong ngadu nalikwali arume.
10 Abraham was waiting to live in a city [in heaven] that would exist forever [MET]. It was a city that God is building [DOU].
Nanere wadi bara ame wa yene ubun kiti nalenge na inughere wa kagbire ulenge na unan mbo likiye nin kewe di Kutelle.
11 It was because Abraham trusted God that God gave Abraham strength so that he [was] able to produce a son. Even though his wife Sarah was past the age [when women bear children], [God] promised [that he would give her a son], and Abraham considered that God would do what he promised to do.
Nin nyinnu sauyenuari Ibrahim nin wani mye saraya, iwa seru likara nmaru kube na iwadi ikunno gbongbong, na iwa yene Kutelle ulle na iba yinnu ninghe, ulenge na ana su nani alikawali ngono.
12 So, although Abraham was also too old to have children, so many people descended from that one man that they were as numerous as the stars in the sky and are as countless as the grains of sand along the seashore, [just like God promised him].
Bara nani tutun, unuzu nnit ulere ulenge na awa dak susut nkuu awa macu akara gbardang iwa so gbardang nafo iyini kitene kani, nafo licicin kurawa longo na iwasa iguro ba.
13 It was while they still trusted in God that all those people died. Even though they had not yet received the things that God had promised to give them, [it was as though] they saw those things in a distance. They were glad [to know] about what God promised. It was as though they admitted that they were not from this earth, but that they were only here temporarily.
Inughe vat wa kuzu sa useru nalikwali, nin nani iwa iyinna yene nin nse nmahabi a idutu piit, iyinna inug amarari nanya inye.
14 As for those people who talk like that, they clearly show that they long for [a place that will become] their true native land.
Bara alenge na iwa bellin ile ione wa nutun fong nworu idin piziru nilari nati mine.
15 If they had been thinking about [that place being] the place from which they had come, they would have taken the opportunity to return there.
Kidegen andi idin kpilizu mbellen kipin kanga na ina nuzuku, iwa se kubin nkpillu.
16 But, instead, they desired a better [place in which to live]; that is, they desired [a home] in heaven. So God has prepared a city for them to live [with him], and he is pleased [LIT] for them to say that he is their God.
Bara iwadi ncisu kibinai kipin kicine kinnere kitene kani, bara nani na Kutelle wa lanza icing iyicilaghe Kutelle mine ba, tunda na ana kele kagbir bara inughe.
17 It was because Abraham trusted [God] that he [was ready to] kill his son Isaac as a sacrifice when [God] tested him. This same man to whom [God] promised [to give] ([a son/many descendants]) was going to sacrifice [that same son], the only son [whom his own wife had borne]!
Uwadi nanya nyinnu sa uyenu, nworo Ibrahim kubi na iwa dumunghe anii Ishaku ku, eh ame ulenge nin liburi liboo awa seru alikawali awa nii gono mye kirume cas.
18 It was to Abraham that God said, “It is [only] from Isaac that I will consider your family to descend.”
Kitene nghari iwa bellin “unuzu Ishaku iba yicilu likura fe?
19 Abraham considered that [to fulfill that promise], God could make [Isaac] live again [even if] he had died [after Abraham sacrificed him]! The result was that when Abraham did receive Isaac back [after God told him not to harm Isaac], it was as though he received him back even after he died.
20 It was because Isaac trusted God that he [prayed that after he died, God would] bless [his] sons Jacob and Esau.
Nin nyinnu sa uyenu wati, Ishaku nin Yakubu ku nmari kitene nimon ncin dak.
21 It was because Jacob trusted God that, as he was dying, he [prayed that God would] bless each of the sons of [his own son Joseph]. He worshipped God as he leaned upon his walking stick [before he died].
Nin nyinnu sa uyenu kubi na awa cinu ukuu atah vat nonon Yusufu nmari, Yusufu tumuno Kutelle ayedine litin nca mye.
22 It was because Joseph trusted God that, when he was about to die [in Egypt], he anticipated the time when the Israelis would leave Egypt; and he instructed [that] his people [should carry] his bones [with them when they] ([left Egypt/returned to Canaan]).
Nin nyinnu sa uyenu, Yusufu na imalin mye ndah, alira nbellen nsunu nono Isiraila umasar, a belle nani iyiru akuu mye nanghinu.
23 It was because Moses’ father and mother trusted God that they hid [their son] for three months shortly after he was born, because they saw that he was so beautiful. They were not afraid of [disobeying] what the king of Egypt had commanded, [namely, that all the Jewish male babies must be killed].
Nin nyinnu sa uyenu, Musa kubi nmaru mye, annit was nyeshe ghe tipui titat, bara iwa yene ame gonari kicaut, na iwa lanza fiu nduka ngo ba.
24 The daughter of the [king, whom they called] Pharaoh, [raised] Moses, but when he had grown up, it was because he trusted God that he refused to [accept the privileges that would have been his if people] considered that he was (the son of the king’s daughter/the king’s own grandson).
Nin nyinnu sa uyenu, nworu Musa kubi na awa kunoo, anari iyiciliaghe gono nshono ngo Firiauna.
25 He decided that it was better for others to mistreat him for a time along with the Israeli people, than to temporarily enjoy living sinfully [in the King’s palace].
Nin nani afere ukosu nniu nan nanit Kutelle nan nworu alanza nmang un kulapi kubi baat.
26 This is because he decided that if he suffered for the Messiah, it would be worth far more [in God’s sight] than his owning all the treasures of Egypt [that he would receive as Pharaoh’s heir. He decided that] because he looked forward to the time when [God would give him] an [eternal] reward.
Awa yene ulanzu ncin ndortu Kutelle nafo use nimon nacara ri gbardang, ikatin imon nmasar, bara adin ncisu iyizi mye nse nduk unbun.
27 It was because he trusted God that he left Egypt. He was not afraid that the king would be angry [because of his doing that]. He (kept going/did not turn back) because [it was as though] he kept seeing [God], whom no one can see.
Nin nyinnu sa uyenuari, Musa wa suun umasar, na aw ba, bara awa ti ayi akone nyenju nlenge na idi nyenjughe baa latiza fiu tinana nayi ngo ba, bara awa ti ayi akone nyenju nlenge na id nyenju ghe ba.
28 It was because Moses believed [that God would save his own people] that he instituted the [festival called] Passover. He did that [by commanding that the people should kill lambs and] sprinkle their blood [on their] doorposts. They did that in order that [the angel who] causes people to die would not kill [EUP] the oldest male Israelites [when he killed the oldest sons in each Egyptian family].
Nin nyinnu sa uyenu awa su ubukin nkallu nkul nin zaminu nmii, bara unan nmolusu nonon nfari wa dudo nonon nfari Isiraila.
29 It was because they trusted God that [when] the [Israelite] people walked through [where] the Red Sea [had been, it was] as [though they walked] on dry land! But, when the [army of] Egypt also attempted to [cross that same water], they drowned, because [the sea came back and flooded them]!
Nanya nyinnu sa uyenuari ingu wa kafin kurawa kushine nafo kuteen ku kone, kubi na amasarawa wa woro isu nani, kurawe mila nani.
30 It was because the [Israeli] people trusted God that the walls around Jericho [city] collapsed, after the Israelis marched around the walls for seven days.
Nin nyinnu sa uyenuari azunu njeriko wa disu, kubi na iwa kiilin nanya nayiri kuzor.
31 Rahab [had been] a prostitute, but because she trusted God, she did not perish with those [inside Jericho] who disobeyed [God. Joshua sent some spies] into the city [in order] to find ways to destroy it, but God saved her because she welcomed those spies [peaceably].
Nin nyinnu sa uyenari Rahap ukilaki, awa nanna nan nalenge na iwa salin ndortu nliru, bara awa seru anan piziru nyinnu asu nani acine lau.
32 I do not know what more I should say [RHQ] [about others who trusted in God]. It would take too much time to tell about Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, Samuel, and the [other] prophets.
Ani iyaghari nbakuru nbellina? bara na kubi ba batini nwan bellin ubellen nan Gidiyon, Barak, Samsin, Jefita, Dauda, Samela, nan Kagisin na nan nliru nin nnu Kutelle.
33 It was because they trusted God that some of them [did great things for him]. Some conquered lands ruled by powerful men. Some ruled [Israel] and justly [punished those men and nations who rebelled against God]. Some obtained [from God] the things that he promised to give them [MTY].
Alenge kiti nyinnu mine sa uyennu iwa lii likara nilari tigo, isu katuwa kacine, isere alikwali itursu tinuu nazaki.
34 Some forced lions to keep their mouths shut. Some escaped from being destroyed by fire. Some of those people escaped from [being killed with] a sword [MTY]. Some of those [people who trusted God] were made strong {became mighty} again after they had once been weak. Some became powerful when they fought wars. Some caused armies [that came from foreign lands] to run away from them.
Ibico likara nlah, ukaala litang kieo, ishino nanya tikonu, iso anan naggan kiti likum, ita a soja amara ico.
35 Some women [who trusted God] received [their relatives] back again when [God] ([made them live again after they had died/raised them from the dead]). But [others who trusted God] were tortured until they died. They were tortured because they refused to agree when [their captors said, “We will] release you [if you deny that you believe in God.” They refused to do that], because they wanted to live with God forever, which is better than [continuing to live on earth] after having almost died.
Awani ba seru abbi nalenge na iba fiu nani, among iwati nani ineo, na iwa yinin ibunku nani ba, bara inan se ufitu nanya nkul ucine,
36 Other [people who trusted God] were mocked; [some had their backs] cut [open by being struck] with leaded whips. Some were chained and put in prison.
Kagisine wa neo nin ba'a nan ngbizu, eh nin ninyeng nan licin.
37 [Some of] those believers were stoned to death {People [killed some of those believers by] throwing stones at them}. Others were cut completely in two. Others were killed with swords. Others of these people who trusted God wandered around the land [wearing garments made only of] skins from sheep and goats. They did not have any money. They were continually oppressed and tormented {People continuously oppressed them and tormented them}.
Iwa filisu nani nin natala, iwuco nani, asari aba, iwa kalizu nami ata nin kusangali, itunna ngalu nin nakpa nakam, nan niyin, iwa so hem, imono nani nanzang.
38 [The people on earth who caused those who trusted in God to suffer were so bad that] they did not deserve [to live with people who trusted God. Some who trusted God] wandered in deserts and on mountains. Some lived in caves and in other [large] holes in the ground.
Bara inughe na uyee was caun nani ba, ngalu nanya kusho, nan nakup, a ataii, nan nagbongbon kuteen.
39 Although all these people were commended [by God] {[God] commended all these people} because they trusted him, God did not give them all that he promised them [while they were alive].
Vat nani Kutelle wa yinin nin nighinu, bara uyinu sa uyenu mine, na iwa seru imon ile na iwa su nani alikawale ba.
40 God knew ahead of time that what he would give us and them [later] would be better than giving [them immediately what he promised]. What God intends is that only when they and we are together will we have all that God intends us to have.
Kutelle se nani imomon dedei, ile imon na ikatin kiti bete, nanya noru sa arike, na iwa yitu lau ba.
