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.
Mvngjwng doodubv rinam si ngonugv mvngtin nama paarungre vla mvngnam mv, ngonugv kaapa nyula manam oguogua jvjvbv dorungdunv vla mvngnamv.
2 It was because our ancestors trusted in God that they pleased him.
Krimklu gv nyi vdwv bunugv mvngjwng kolokv Pwknvyarnv gv torwksinama paayatoku.
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)
Mvngjwng lokv ngonu chindu Pwknvyarnv gv gamchar lokv chinggodogo nga pwklinyarlin pvnv, vkvlvgavbolo kaapanam vdw si kaapa manam lokv mvlin pvnv. (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].

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.
Mvngjwng ngv Enoknyi simu mato. Vmabvya, ninyia Pwknvyarnv gvlo naacha toku, yvvka ninyia mapa matoku, ogulvgavbolo Pwknvyarnv ninyia naacha rotoku. Darwknv kitaplo mindu ninyia naacha madv yika Enok Pwknvyarnvnyi mvngpu dubv ritoku.
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.
Mvngjwng kaamabv yvvka Pwknvyarnvnyi mvngpu dubv rinyu mare, yvvdw Pwknvyarnv gvlo aadudw hv Pwknvyarnv doorungdo vla mvngjwng rungtoka okv yvvdw ninyia makar dunv um amina jire.
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.

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.
Mvngjwng lokv Abraham Pwknvyarnv gv ninyia diringmooku jinvpv vla milv kunam diringmooku lo vnglin yikv vla kanamla minam ha tvvtoku. Nw ogolo vngtv dunvdw um chimatola atubogv diringmooku nga vngyula vngtoku.
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.
Mvngjwng lokv nw Pwknvyarnv gv ninyia milv kunam diringmooku lo nw nyebunyi gubvrila dootoku. Nw tombu lo dootoku, Isaak ka okv Jakob ka, bunyi Pwknvyarnv gvlokv milvvnam akin ha paatoku.
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].
Abraham Pwknvyarnv gv doobwng dubv lvngtung dwlwkla, kaapu tain dubv mvlwk rilwkla pamtv mvnam ha kaayala dootoku.
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.
Mvngjwng kolokv Abrahamnyi abu gubvrila moto, nw achialvbv nyikam kubvka okv Sara ka nyirium nvgobv rikubvka. Nw Pwknvyarnv gv milv nama rirungre vla mvngjwng toku.
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].
Abraham sikunv jvbv rikubvka, so nyi akin lokv nyido gv takar vdw jvbv okv svmasa gv adarai lo kila manam chokri aingbv husi hv doolin pvkunv.
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.
So nyi mvnwng si mvngjwnglo sinya toku. Bunu Pwknvyarnv gv milv kunam yikungyira vdwa naarwk sima toku, vbvritola adu lokv bunu kaapato okv bunu torwk sitoku, okv bunu sichingmooku so nyebunyi gubv okv ngookarkunv nyi gubv mvngbwk sutoku.
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.
Yvvbunudw svkvnv vdwa mindunv bunu atubogv lvgabv diringmooku ako makardu vla minbwk jitoku.
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.
Bunu bunugv vngyu rokunam diringmooku gv lvgabv mvngbvmato; bunu vbv mvngnv guilo, bunu vngkur dukubv agi paapikui.
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.
Vmabvya, bunugv paadubv vla mvngdv-mvngdv kunam diringmooku angv alvyaung nvgo, hv nyidomooku tologv diringmooku go. Okv vkvlvgabv Pwknvyarnv bunugv ninyia ngonugv Pwknvyarnv vla minjeka nw hinying matoku, ogulvgavbolo nw bunugv lvgabv pamtv go mvpvripv jitoku.
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]!
Vdwlo Pwknvyarnv Abrahamnyi rikwripak tokudw mvngjwng ngv Abrahamnyi nw gv kuunyilo Isaaknyi erinpeelwk segubv mvla jitoku. Abraham Pwknvyarnv gv milv jikunam angv, vbvritola nw atubogv kuunyilo akin a erinpeelwk riji dubv doya toku.
18 It was to Abraham that God said, “It is [only] from Isaac that I will consider your family to descend.”
Pwknvyarnv ninyia minto, “Ngoogv naa husi doolinre vla milv kunam anga Isaak gvlokv doolinre.”
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.
Pwknvyarnv Isaaknyi sinam loka turkur moreku vla Abraham mvngtinto—okv, vbv mvngku lokv, Abraham Isaaknyi sinam loka paakor toku.
20 It was because Isaac trusted God that he [prayed that after he died, God would] bless [his] sons Jacob and Esau.
Mvngjwng ngv Isaaknyi Jakob gvla Isau gv aainvlo bokta paaji nama milv motoku.
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].
Mvngjwng ngv Jakobnyi ninyigv sitv madvbv Josep gv kuunyilo vdwa bokta jilwk moto. Nw atubogv bangngi nga kvtor sila baabw tola Pwknvyarnvnyi kumtojotoku.
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]).
Mvngjwng lokv, Josep nw gv sitv tvrilo, Israel nyi vdwgv Ijipt lokv vnglin kuse nga minto, okv ninyigv svma nga ogubv rise ngvdw um gaam minla vvpv jitoku.
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].
Mvngjwng lokv Moses gv anv-abua ninyia bvngro kochingbv poolu pwvmgo vvsi nyutoku. Ninyia bunu kaapunv kuunyilo gubv kaanyato, okv bunu dvbv gv orto nga tvvmabv rise nga busu matoku.
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).
Mvngjwng lokv Moses vdwlo kai tokudw nw dvbv gv kuunyijar gv kuunyilo gubv minku svnga maakv vtoku.
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].
Nw rimur rila achukgo ayungjvma go himpukain bv svngse yanga kayu tvla Pwknvyarnv gv nyi vdwa lvkobv hirukaya yabv svngse nga mvngyato.
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.
Nw Ijipt gv nyitv nyigam nvnv yikungyira ngam svnga Kristo gv lvgabv hinching chingya svnga arv doya nvgobv mvngyato, ogulvgavbolo nw nyik v aainv amina kaagapto.
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.
Mvngjwng ngv Mosesnyi dvbv gv haachi a busu madubv mvtola Ijipt mooku a vngyu motoku. Ho nw kaapa lamanam Pwknvyarnvnyi kaapanam aingbv, nw vngkur kuse nga maakv vtoku.
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].
Mvngjwng ngv ninyia Israel nyi vdwgv kuunyilo bvngtu vdwa Sinv Nyidogindung vdwv mvki madubv naam agi gwngtung lo oyi paksak lakv vla mimula vbvrila vngbo dvmin ha rilin motoku.
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]!
Mvngjwng lokv Israel nyi vdwv lwngchingnv svmasa nga dvpw lo vngnam apiabv vngbola vngrap toku; vdwlo Ijipt nyi vdwv vbv ritv tvvtokudw, bunua isi hv dvmit toku.
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.
Mvngjwng lokv Israel nyi vdwv alu kanw go bunu Jeriko gv vlwng svlung vdwa vngyit karto kudw vlwng svlung vdwv yaktoku.
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].

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.
Ngo mindv dubvre? Ngo Gidion, Barak, Samson, Jepta, Dabid, Samuel okv nyijwk vdwgv lvkwng nga mindubv dw ngv chiyoma.
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].
Mvngjwngnam lokv bunu diringmooku mooku mvnwng dvdv nga nyimak pala paaya yatoku. Bunu tarwk nvnga rinyato okv Pwknvyarnv gv milv kunam ha naarwk sinya toku. Bunu abwngapa vdwgv gaam ha mvtum nyatoku,
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.

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.

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.

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}.

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.

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].

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.
