Hebrews 11
1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
Tu in upna sia i lametna te atu in tha muanna a hihi, i mu ngawl nate om takpi hi, ci ki telsakna a hihi.
2 For by it the elders obtained a good report.
Banghangziam cile upna tungtawn in tanglai upa te in minpha nga uh hi.
3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which are visible. (aiōn g165)
Leitung sia Pathian thu taw a ki bitphua a hihi, tua ahikom a ki mu thei nate sia a ki mu thei nate pan in a ki vawt hi ngawl hi, ci sia upna tungtawn in i he thei hi. (aiōn g165)
4 By faith Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained the testimony that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.
Abel in Cain sang in a phazaw biakpiakna sia upna tungtawn in pia hi, tua upna tungtawn in ama sia thutang hi, ci na tetti nga a, tua hu in thi napi, thu hong hil lai hi.
5 By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.
Upna tungtawn in Enoch sia thi na tep ngawl tu in lumlet a; kuama in ama mu ngawl hi, banghangziam cile Pathian in ama sia lumlet zo a: a ki lumle ma in, Pathian lungkimsak hi, ci in tetti panna nei hi.
6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
Ahihang upna ngawl taw Pathian lungkimsak tu sia suak thei ngawl hi: banghangziam cile Pathian kung a pai peuma in Pathian om hi, ci le hanciam in Ama a zong peuma thaman pia pa a hihi, ci sia a up kul hi.
7 By faith Noah, being warned by God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.
Upna tungtawn in, Noah in a mu ngawl lai thu te sung ah, Pathian in kinginna a piak ciang in, Pathian lau a, a innkuan ngupna tu in tembaw sa hi; tua a upna hu in leitung mite mawsak a, upna tungtawn in thutang suana ngamhlua hong suak hi.
8 By faith Abraham, when he was called to move into a place which he should later receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing where he was going.
Upna tungtawn in Abraham sia a ngamlua tu mun ah pai tu in, Pathian in a sap ciang in, a pai natu mun he ngawl napi; thu ni in pai hi.
9 By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a foreign country, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise:
Upna tungtawn in kamciam ngam sung ah peamta in om a, ngamdang ah om bang in puanbuk sung ah kamciam kibangtek a nga Isaac le Jacob te taw teangkhawm uh hi:
10 For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God.
Banghangziam cile ama in Pathian i patsa, a saksa le a vawtsa khuapi kip sia lamen in ngak hi.
11 Through faith also Sarah herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised.
Sarah zong upna tungtawn in a kum val zawkciang, naupai tu in thahat na nga a, nau nei hi, banghangziam cile kamciam a pia pa sia thuman hi, ci ngaisun hi.
12 Therefore there sprang even from one, and him as good as dead, so many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable.
Tua ahikom ama sia mithi bang hi napi, khat sung pan in aksi za le tuipi vaal ah senneal za, a ki sim zo ngawl mihonpi te suaksak hi.
13 These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.
Hi mite sia kamciam te sang tha ngawl in a vekpi in upna taw thi uh hi, ahihang a khualapi pan in mu uh a, tua te in amate a kaizot uh hu in, khotak in pom a, hileitung ah peamta te le khualhaw te a hina pualak hi.
14 For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country.
Banghangziam cile tabang thu a hil te in amate sia ngam khat zong hi, ci sia thiangtak in phuang hi.
15 And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from which they came, they might have had opportunity to return.
Amate pusua na ngam sia thangai uh hile, heakkik theina hunpha nei hi.
16 But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.
Ahihang amate in a phazaw vantung ngam lungngul zaw a hi hu in, Pathian in, amate i Pathian, a kici natu sia maizum ngawl hi: banghangziam cile Pathian in amate atu in khuapi vawtkholsak hi.
17 By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son,
Upna tungtawn in Abraham sia, Isaac pia tu in kamciam a nga lai in, kamciam a nga na a neisun tapa pia hi,
18 Of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be called:
Tua a tapa thu sia, Isaac sung ah na suan le pal min kip tu hi, ci hi:
19 Accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead; from which also he received him in a figure.
Pathian in thina pan in thokiksak thei hi, ci ngaisun hi; tua mun pan in a tapa sia thina pan in a nga, ci telsakna a hihi.
20 By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come.
Hong pai pheang tu nate taw kisai in Isaac in Jacob le Esau te thupha pia hi.
21 By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed both the sons of Joseph; and worshipped, leaning upon the top of his staff.
Upna tungtawn in Jacob in a thi tu ciang in Joseph tapa ni te thupha pia a; a ciangkhut dawn neal kawm in, Pathian bia hi.
22 By faith Joseph, when he died, made mention of the departing of the children of Israel; and gave commandment concerning his bones.
Upna tungtawn in Joseph in a thi kuan ciang in Israel tate a sua natu thu son hi; a ngu taw kisai in thu pia hi.
23 By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months by his parents, because they saw he was a beautiful child; and they were not afraid of the king’s commandment.
Upna in Moses sia, a sua ciang in, a nu le a pa te in tha thum sung phual hi, banghangziam cile amate in nausen sia hoi mama hi, ci a mu uh hu in; kumpi thupiak zong lau ngawl hi.
24 By faith Moses, when he had come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter;
Upna tungtawn in Moses in, a khanthin ciang in, Pharaoh tanu i tapa, a kici tu sia nial a;
25 Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;
Tawmvei atu mawna sung ah lungkimna le nopsakna te sang in Pathian mite taw haksatna thuak tu teal zaw hi;
26 Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt: for he had respect to the recompence of the reward.
Egypt ngam i hauna sang in Christ hang in vawtsiatna sia thupi zaw hauna in ngaisun hi: banghangziam cile thamman a nga tu a mitsuan hang a hihi.
27 By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.
Upna tungtawn in ama in Egypt ngam nusia a, kumpipa thin-ukna zong lau ngawl hi: banghangziam cile a ki mu thei ngawl Pathian a mu hang in thuakzo hi.
28 Through faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of blood, lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them.
Tapa upabel siatsua pa in amate thutha ngawl tu in upna tungtawn in paisanpoai le thisan thee na vawt uh hi.
29 By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians trying to do were drowned.
Upna tungtawn in amate in lei ko tung tawn in san tuipi kantan uh hi: tasia Egypt te in zong a kan sawm uh ciang in tui in khum cip hi.
30 By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they had been encircled for seven days.
Upna tungtawn in Jericho luphung sia ni sali a kimveal zawkciang in cimtham hi.
31 By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them that believed not, after she had received the spies with peace.
Upna tungtawn in pumpi kizuak Rahab in ngalvil te kilemna taw a san hu in thu um ngawl te taw mangthang khawm ngawl hi.
32 And what more shall I say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gideon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthah; of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets:
Taciang bang son thua tu khi ziam? banghangziam cile Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, Samuel le kamsang te thu son natu hun kicing ngawl hi:
33 Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,
Amate in upna tungtawn in kumpingam te zo uh a, thutang suana te vawt in kamciam te zong sang a, humpi nealkai te kam te zong humcip siat hi,
34 Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, became valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens.
Meikuang lauhuai mamate zong mitsak a, namsau hiam pan zong suaktasak hi, thaneamna sung pan thahatsak a, ngal sim na mun ah hangsansak in, ngamdang ngalkap te tai in ki thethangsak hi.
35 Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection:
Nupi te in a mithi te nuntakna sung ah thawkiksak na nga uh hi: taciang a dang te in a phazaw thawkikna a san thei natu in suatakna sia sang nuam ngawl uh a vawtsiatna thuak uh hi:
36 And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, and, moreover of bonds and imprisonment:
Taciang a dang te in zawnsakna le vel na, tua bek domngawl koltang in thongtak nate taw ze-et na te:
37 They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented;
Suangtum taw den na, lua taw at in tan na, ze-et na, namsau taw thalup nate thuak uh a: zawngkhal tak in, vawtsiatna namcin thuak in, tuu vun le keal vun te sil uh a, ki le kakoai uh hi;
38 (Of whom the world was not worthy: ) they wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.
Amate atu in leitung sia omtak ngawl hi: amate leitung ah senneal ngam te, mual te, lei hawng le suang hawng sung ah kile kakoai in om uh hi.
39 And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise:
Hite theampo in upna hang in minpha sang uh hi napi, kamciam ahile sang tha ngawl hi:
40 God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.
Eite ki hel ngawl in, amate khuangkhim ngawl tu in, Pathian in eite atu in a phazaw te hong pia hi.
