Hebrews 11
1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
Itungili u uhuiili ingi kulu kuulu nukete u muntu itungo nu sumbiiye i kintu ka kituunga ku ukamatiku. Ingi kulu kuulu a kintu naiiza ikili kigeeleka.
2 For by it the elders obtained a good report.
Ku nsoko iyi i isekulu itu ai akaminkiie ku uhuiili nuao.
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)
Ku uhuiili kulingile kina u unkumbigulu ai u umbilwe ku ilagiilyo nilang'wa Itunda, iti kina iko ni ki kigela shanga ai kizipigwe kupumiila ni intu naiiza ai yatulaa yukigeeleka. (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.
Ai ituile ku nsoko a uhuiili kina uHabili ai umupumiiye Itunda ipolya nila kuzipila kukila nai witumile uKaini. Ai ituile ku nsoko iyi kina ai ulumbiigwe kutula muya tai ane. Itunda ai umulumbiiye ku nsoko a masongelyo nai umaletile. Ku nsoko nanso, uHabili wakili witambuaa, anga ize wakulee.
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.
Ai ituile ku uhuiili kina uEnoko ai uhoilwe migulya hangi shanga aiwihengile insha. “Shanga ai wigeelekile, ku nsoko Itunda ai umuhoile” Ku nianso ai iganuwe migulya akwe kina ai umuloeeye Itunda ze yakilaa kuholwa migulya.
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.
Anga ize kutili u uhuiili shanga ihumikile kumuloeelya Itunda, ku nsoko nupembilye kung'wa Itunda kusinja wahuiile kina Itunda wikiie ni kina wi inkiilya isongelyo awo ni imudumaa.
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.
Ai ituile ingi ku uhuiili kina uNuhu, waze uhuguwe ni Itunda kutulinkana ni makani naiza shanga ai atuile igeelekile, ku ikulyo nila kinya Itunda ai uzipilye i safina ku nsoko a kuliguna i to nilakwe. Ku kituma iti, ai uulamue u unkumbigulu nu kutula musali nua tai ane naiiza ipembyaa kukiila uhuiili.
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.
Ai itule ingi ku u uhuiili kina uIbrahimu, nai witangilwe ai wigulye nu kulongola kai utakiwe kusingiilya aga usali. Ai upumile shanga waze ulingile kianza kii nai watuaa ulongoe.
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:
Ai ituile ku u uhuiili kina ai wikie mihi ilago anga muziila. Ai wikie mu nsalamida palung'wi nu Isaka nu Yakobo, asali auya ni ilago lilo liilo.
10 For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God.
Iki ingi ku nsoko ai usumbiiye ku kilija i kisali naza u munya ku kisiga nu muzengi nuakwe ai uzeetula Itunda.
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.
Ai ituile ingi ku uhuiili kina uIbrahimu, nu Sara mukola, ai asingiiye i ngulu nia kuusha i miligo anga itule ai atulaa anyampala lukulu, ku nsoko ai amuine Itunda kina muhuiili, nai iza ualagile ng'wana nua kigoha.
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.
Ku lulo ga nu kupuma ku muntu uyu nu ng'wi nai iza watuile uhumbee kusha akatugwa ana ni shanga akualigwa. Ai atuile idu anga i nzota nia kilunde hangi idu anga i nkuku nia mahalu mu nshemba a luzi.
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.
Awa ihi ai akule mu uhuiili ze shanga asingiiye ilago, Kwaala, aze atulaa ihenga nu ku ihumbeela ku kahelu, ai alapile kina ai atulaa aziila hangi ahumi migulya ihi.
14 For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country.
Ku awo ni iligitya i makani anga aya i ikaa kihenga kina idumaa ihi ao agozo.
15 And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from which they came, they might have had opportunity to return.
Ku tai, anga ai atule akusigiila ihi nai iza apembeeye, ai azeetula ni lyoma nila ku sukinkania.
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.
Kuiti anga ni yili, amihumiwe nsula ihi ni ibahu, nai iza, ingi a kinyilunde. Ku lulo Itunda shanga wihung'waa i minyala kitangwaa Itunda nuao, ku nsoko uzipiiye kisali ku nsoko ao.
17 By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son,
Ai ituile ingi ku uhuiili kina uIbrahimu ze yakilaa kugeng'wa, ai umupumilye uIsaka, Uugwa, ingi ng'wenso nai iza ai usingiiye ku ulowa ilago, ai umupumilye u ng'wana nuakwe nuing'wene,
18 Of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be called:
nai iza migulya akwe itambuwe, “Kupuma kung'wa Isaka utuugwa nuako ukitangwa.”
19 Accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead; from which also he received him in a figure.
uIbrahimu ai ulingile kina Itunda ai ukete u uhumi nua kumuusha uIsaka kupuma ku ashi, hangi ku kutambula ku ntambu a maluli, ai umusingiiye.
20 By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come.
Ai ituile ingi ku uhuiili kina uIsaka ai umukendepile uYakobo nu Esau kutulika makani napembilye.
21 By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed both the sons of Joseph; and worshipped, leaning upon the top of his staff.
Ai ituile ingi ku uhuiili kina uYakobo nai wakatula mu hali a kusha, ai uakendepile kila ung'wi nua ana ang'wa Yusufu. uYakobo akipolya, waze wipantamiiye migulya a mulanga nuakwe.
22 By faith Joseph, when he died, made mention of the departing of the children of Israel; and gave commandment concerning his bones.
Ai ituile ingi ku uhuiili kina uYusufu itungo nilakwe nila mpelo nai lihumbiie, ai utambue migulya a kupuma ku ana a Israeli ku Misri nu kualagiilya kuhola palung'wi ni enso i makupa akwe.
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.
Ai ituile ingi ku uhuili kina uMusa, nai wakatugwa, ai upihilwe ku myeli itaatu ni aleli akwe ku nsoko ai amihengile kina ng'wana mudabu nai watula muziza, hangi shanga ai atumbilwe ni ilagiilyo nila mutemi.
24 By faith Moses, when he had come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter;
Ai ituile ingi ku uhuiili kina uMusa, nai wakatula muntu mitunja, ai uhitile kitangwaa ng'wana nuang'wa munaanso wang'wa Farao.
25 Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;
Badala akwe, ai usague kihanguila mu lwago palung'wi ni antu ang'wa Itunda badala a kiloa u usambo nua milandu ki itungo.
26 Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt: for he had respect to the recompence of the reward.
Ai usigile i minyala a kumutyata uKristo kutula ingi ukamatiku ukulu kukila i matulyo a ku Misri kunsoko ai ukunkuie i miho akwe mi isongelyo ni litungo nilakwe nilipembilye.
27 By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.
Ai ituile ingi ku uhuiili kina uMusa ai upumile ku Misri. Shanga ai witumbile ku ikuo nila mutemi, ku nsoko ai ugimilye kugoza kung'wa ni shanga wigelaa.
28 Through faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of blood, lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them.
Ai ituile ingi ku uhuiili kina ai umiambile i pasaka nu kuminzila i sakami, iti kina u muganzanja nua mutuugwa nua ng'wandyo waleke kuhuma kuakumpya i atuugwa ang'wandyo nia kigoha nia Israeli.
29 By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians trying to do were drowned.
Ai ituile ingi ku uhuiili kina ai akiile mu luzi nula shamu anga mihi ni nyumu. Matungo i Misri nai agemile kukila, ai amiilwe.
30 By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they had been encircled for seven days.
Ai ituile ingi ku uhuiili kina ikiligo nila Yeriko ai ligwie pihi, ze yakilaa kulipilima ku mahiku mupungati.
31 By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them that believed not, after she had received the spies with peace.
Ai ituile ingi ku uhuiili kina uRahabu uyo u musambo shanga ai ulimie palung'wi nawo naza shanga ai atuile a lwijo, ku nsoko ai watulaa waasingiilya i apuka nkani nu kuaika iziza.
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:
Hangi ndigitye ntuni ikilo? Ndogoelyo i tungo shanga likondaniie kuganula nang'wa Gigeoni, Baraka, Samsoni, Yeftha, Daudi, Samweli, hangi nia anyakidagu,
33 Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,
naza kukiila uhuiili ai ai kiiye i ntemi, ai itumile i tai ane, hangi akalisingiilya ilago. Ai amagiiye i malangu a mahimba,
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.
ai alimisilye i ngulu nia moto, ai ahugile i nsonge nia mpanga, ai agunilwe kupuma mu ndwala, ai atulaa akomoli mu wikui, hangi ai asakilye i madale a aziila kumanka.
35 Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection:
iAsungu ai asingiiye i ashi ao ku nzila a u ukigwa. Auya ai agigwe, shanga akugomba kulekwa ilyuuku iti kina ahume kulija u wiziili nua u ukigwa nui bahu ikilo.
36 And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, and, moreover of bonds and imprisonment:
Auya ai agigwe ku usenswi nu kukuwa, ee, ga nu ku utungwa nu kuikwa mu kadulumu.
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;
Ai atulangilwe magwe. Ai adumuwe ku ipande nia misumeno. Ai abulagilwe ku mpanga. Ai alongoe ku ipalatu nia nkolo ni ipalatu nia mbuli ai atulaa inzi, aze alongolekile mu uwai hangi aze tendeelwa i mabi.
38 (Of whom the world was not worthy: ) they wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.
( nai iza u unkumbigulu shanga ai utakiwe kutula nu wenso), azeyunguya mihaka, mu malugulu, mu makulungu, mu makombo a mu mahalu.
39 And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise:
Anga itule antu ihi awa ai agombilwe nu Itunda ku nsoko a uhuiili nuao, shanga ai asingiiye nai ukilagile.
40 God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.
Itunda ai utongee kuinkiilya i kintu ni kibahu, iti kina shanga sese nai kuzeehuma kukondeeligwa.
