< 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.
U hem in kaduer une uni be imum besa tizinu ube me.
2 It was because our ancestors trusted in God that they pleased him.
Barki ahira une uni acokoro aru wakem uhem Asere.
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 )
Ahira une uni a barki unee unu ubuka Asere uhana ati mumu be be hira daki abara ini usuro imum be sa daki iraa ni ba. (aiōn )
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].
Ahira une uni a barki unee unu ubuka Asere uhana ati mumu be be hira daki abara ini usuro imum be sa daki iraa ni ba. imumbe ya teki kondi its unu ree sa ya teki i kainu, barki ani mani a nonziko me, unu guna me unu biyyau ba Asere bini ma kem u hem wa sere barki sadiga ume sa manya, barki anime uye habila mazin in teze sa izi mumu wono.
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.
Usuro uhem u kadure aziki a nuhu uhana azesere barki kati ma iri iwon, daki a kem ba barki Asere aziki me, abuki aduku ziki me, unuguna ya sani iruba in gomo Asere.
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.
Idi zin ini casi akem de be sa madi romi Asere iruba, in daki unu nya nice ni kadure ba, barki ya cukuno vat de sa madi ge ahira Asere, ya cukuno gbas ini ma nya kadure barki uzina umeme, abanna de sa wa nyara imum ini ahira de sa wa nyara me.
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.
Ahira hem in kadure ka Nuhu mā kabi kadure ahira Asere ahira ati mummu sa daki a ira ba, ahira u nyinza u ti nanu nan tini pum, ma bari uzirigi ugmei barki maburi nice ni meme nan na hana me wu unee Nuhu makabi iriba neze ige be sa izin in kadure.
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.
Ahira uhem in kadure uni ibrahim, uganiya sa atiti me daki ma yeze nice ba madusa maha maka kaba imum be sa izi ime, madusa masuri daki marusi ahira sa ma hazin ba.
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.
Ahira uhem in kadure ma cukuno u uno anyanga be sa atirzi tize ti guna adi nyame, ma wusi ti cukum anyimo udanga nigo nan ki shaku a yakubu, anu ukaba imum tirza utize ti inde nan me.
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].
Barki ma hira nipin nizin in ni tin, unu ususo unipin me nan nu ira u nini memani Asere.
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.
Ahira atize tika dura ibrahim mā kem ugoo sa azi me nan nu nee umeme saratu tiwe tiweme ta wu piit, saratu maciki sarki uyoo makuri aki uganiya uyoo sa wa hem inde sa mawuzi we utirza utize unu ishew mani.
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].
Barki anenime, ahira unu inde ugino me, unu ge sa maciki kasi ikizi ini, a tuba unee ahira ameme, wa wu gbardang kasi iwirang ya zesere gusi ikiki uteku, ige sa daki adake ada dassa 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.
Wa wee vat uwe anyimo uhem in kadure azo uguna agi wa kaba tirza utize ba, ahira agino wa wa kabi wa awada piit, abinime wa hem una guna we agenu wani ana tanu unee.
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.
Abanna ande sa wa boo utize gino wa suro ama saa wa bezi uguna wa nyari manyanga mawe.
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.
Inda wa bassa manyaga sa wa suron, wada kem una ukuro.
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.
Abanna me sa azi, wa nyāra manyanga be sa mateki anu ree, mane mani mage samarā azesere, ine ya wuna Asere me daki magunna mu eh, ugunna a titi ugomo Asere ba, barki mabarka nipin barki we.
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]!
Ahira uhem u kadure ibrahim, uganiya uman sā a wuzi me, uguna ma witi vana umeme ishaku uhadaya.
18 It was to Abraham that God said, “It is [only] from Isaac that I will consider your family to descend.”
Memani vana u inde ahira meme cas, de be sa a tirzi tize unu guna, ahira ameme ani atubi bisana biwe me.
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.
Ibrahim ma batti iriba imeme Asere mazin in nikara nu hirza ishaku inki marā amu can muni ma, ani mani azi inki buki ni, usuro anu kize mani makuri ma kabi me.
20 It was because Isaac trusted God that he [prayed that after he died, God would] bless [his] sons Jacob and Esau.
Usuro uhem ukadure kani ishaku māwu yakubu nan isuwa anyo a re-re usuro imum be sa i eze inje.
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].
Ahira uhem u kadure yakubu, uganiya sa maraa una iwono, mawu ahana isubu wa-re me anyo are-re, yakubu ma tarsi imum re-re, ma hibina ubina umeme.
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]).
Usuro uhem u kadure ka isubu unganiya sa mawu u cokoro gbardang mā buki tize abanga usuro ahana isra'ila umaasa mabuki we abanga a ubo ameme.
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].
Ahira uhem u kadure ka musa, uganiya sa ayoo me, aka nco me wahuznze me tipeu ti taru barki vana ure-re māzi, daki wa kunna biyau bi inko tize tu gomo 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).
Ahira uhem u kadure kani musa ma gāme atisa me vana uca ufir, auna.
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].
Anyo anime ma hem uguna madi sii rere nan na Asere, asesere ugunna uronta umadini uku ganiya cingilin.
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.
Marusi anu guna uvente unucce barki utarsa ugomo Asere ire imum ini rere sa iteki ukem wanu masar ma inko aje ameme ahira imumbe sa i eze ina je.
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.
Ahira uhem u musa ma ciki u masar, daki ma kunna biyyau bi iriba ugomo ba, ma tiri iri ba kusi mahira ige be sa ada hira ini 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].
Ahira uhem ma wuzi u idi u keterewa, (u hangirka) wannu zanuka umaye, barki kati a huzi ahana u tuba wanu isra'ila.
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]!
Ahira uhem ukadure waka fa ubahan mahiya kasi adizi ahuū uganiya sa ma masarwa wa nyari ukafaa, ubar watuwe.
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.
Ahira uhem uni ugomibi u yerko wa rizi, sa wa keti uni atiye usunare.
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].
Ahira uhem u rahap vana u eh u tarsa ahana aru madi ma wee nigo nan ande sa wazo me me nyinza utinanu ba, barkin ma inki anu ugungizi no umanyanga akura ameme, ma kuri ma tibi anyimo ani huma.
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.
Nyanini tidi gu? uganiya udi sizige me inki indi bui tize anicce ni gidiyon, barki, kasu ana kadure katize ta Asere.
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].
Ahira uhem ukadure wari ni kono asesere ati pin-pin sasas wa wuzi katuma ka rere wanno wakabi utirziza utize, wa impi ti nyo timadaru.
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.
Wa huu nikara nuraa, wa suburka anyo aka sangali wanno wakem uhuma ahira tikoni, wacukuno ahana aruma anikono, uhuma aruma ani kono ubine ani wakem warii nikono asesere ama sojojin anu zatu tarsa Asere.
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.
Aneh wakabi anu aweme ande sa hirzawe amu cau a yonko aye, daki wa nyari ubari uweme ba barki wazinu ube uhira amu cau.
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.
Aye wasii nyarang nanu tira nan nu cobo, nan ninyang ani rere.
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}.
Avingizi we ina po, ahira we kani kara unu vira uwesi makayo. A huzi we in kasangali wazi nu kese in ma wāa mitam ham miman wasomi apatti we a yomiwe.
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.
Unee me daki waziki we anyo ire mum ba, wa maki ukese ujazza, nan na apo nan mabere, nan tiwa.
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].
Sa anu agino me anu hem Asere wani barki unu hem in kadure kawe, daki wakabi tirza utize me 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.
Barki ugomo Asere mabarka duru ire mum ire-re vat sa ida mara me ba senke nan harn.
