Hebrews 11
1 Now faith is a well-grounded assurance of that for which we hope, and a conviction of the reality of things which we do not see.
Henu imani ndo hakika j'haajhe najhu munu bhwakati pailonda khenu fulani kwa bhujasiri.
2 For by it the saints of old won God's approval.
Ndo hakika jha khenu ambakyo kakona kubhonekana. Kwandabha ejhe bhakhokho bhitu bhathibitiki kwa imani jha bhene.
3 Through faith we understand that the worlds came into being, and still exist, at the command of God, so that what is seen does not owe its existence to that which is visible. (aiōn g165)
Kwa imani tumanyili kujha ulimwengu bhwabhombiki kwa amri jha K'yara, ili kujha khila kyakibhonekana kyatengenesibhu lepi kufwatana ni fenu ambafyo fibhonekeneghe. (aiōn g165)
4 Through faith Abel offered to God a more acceptable sacrifice than Cain did, and through this faith he obtained testimony that he was righteous, God giving the testimony by accepting his gifts; and through it, though he is dead, he still speaks.
Jhajhele kwa ndabha jha imani kujha Habili ampisili K'yara sadaka jhajhilondeka kuliko kya abhombili Kaini. Jhajhele kwa ndabha ejhe kujha atufibhu kujha ndo jhajhele ni haki. K'yara an'tufisi kwandabha jha zawadi syaaletili. Kwandabha ejhu, Habili bado ijobha, ingabhwa afuili.
5 Through faith Enoch was taken from the earth so that he did not see death, and he could not be found, because God had taken him; for before he was taken we have evidence that he truly pleased God.
Jhajhele kwa imani kujha Enoko atolibhu kunani na abhwene lepi mauti. “Abhonekenelepi, kwandabha K'yara an'tolili” kwa fela jhajobhibhu panani pa muene kujha ampendisi K'yara kabla jha kutolibhwa kunani.
6 But where there is no faith it is impossible truly to please Him; for the man who draws near to God must believe that there is a God and that He proves Himself a rewarder of those who earnestly try to find Him.
Bila imani jhibhwesekanalepi kumpendesya K'yara, kwa kujha jhaakumanyisya kwa K'yara lazima akierajhi kujha K'yara itama ni kabhele akabhapela zawadi bhala bhabhakan'kesya.
7 Through faith Noah, being divinely taught about things as yet unseen, reverently gave heed and built an ark for the safety of his family, and by this act he condemned the world, and became an heir of the righteousness which depends on faith.
Jhajhele kwa imani kujha Nuhu, ajhele aonyibhu ni K'yara kuhusiana ni mambo ambagho ghabhonekene lepi, kwa litengu lya ki K'yara atengenisi safina kwandabha jha kujhiokola familia jha muene. Kwa kubhomba naha, abhuhukumuili bhulimwengu ni kujha mrithi bhwa haki ambajho jhihida kup'ete'ela imani.
8 Through faith Abraham, upon being called to leave home and go into a land which he was soon to receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing where he was going to.
Jhajhele kwa imani kujha Ibrahimu, bho akutibhu ajhedekili ni kulota mahali ambapo alondekegha kujhamb'el'ela kama bhurithi. Ahomili bila kumanya mahali paloki pa aloteghe.
9 Through faith he came and made his home for a time in a land which had been promised to him, as if in a foreign country, living in tents together with Isaac and Jacob, sharers with him in the same promise;
Jhajhele kwa imani kujha atamili mu nchi jha ahadi kama n'hesya. Atamili mu mahema pamonga ni Isaka ni Yakobo, bharithi bhajhi ni bha ahadi jhelajhela.
10 for he continually looked forward to the city which has the foundations, whose architect and builder is God.
Ejhe kwandabha ategemeleghe kukabha mji ambabho n'kolo kuubuni ni njengaji ghwa muene ngaajhele K'yara.
11 Through faith even Sarah herself received strength to become a mother--although she was past the time of life for this--because she judged Him faithful who had given the promise.
Jhajhele kwa imani kujha Ibrahimu, ni Sara muene bhapokili nghofu jha kutonga mimba ingabhwa bhajhele bhaseya nesu kwa ndabha bhambwene K'yara kujha mwaminifu, ambajhe abhaahadili muana n'gosi.
12 And thus there sprang from one man, and him practically dead, a nation like the stars of the sky in number, and like the sands on the sea shore which cannot be counted.
Henu kabhele kuhoma kwa munu ojhu mmonga ambajhe akaribileghe kufwa bhakahogoleka bhana bhabhabhalangiki lepi. Bhajhele bhamehele kama matondo gha nani na bhamehele kama mbeyu sya n'sanga mu ndema bhwa bahari.
13 All these died in the possession of faith. They had not received the promised blessings, but had seen them from a distance and had greeted them, and had acknowledged themselves to be foreigners and strangers here on earth;
Abho bhoha bhafuili mu imani bila kupokela hadi jhejhioha jhela. Isipokujha, bhakajha bhasibhwene ni kusihegelela kwa patali, bhajhedekili kujha bhajhele bhahesya ni bhap'eta njela panani pa nchi.
14 for men who acknowledge this make it manifest that they are seeking elsewhere a country of their own.
Kwa bhala bhabhijobha mambo kama agha bhibheka bayana kujha bhilonda nchi jha bhene.
15 And if they had cherished the remembrance of the country they had left, they would have found an opportunity to return;
Bhukweli, kama ngabhajhele bhifikilila nchi ambajho bhahomili, ngabhajhele ni nafasi jha kukerebhuka.
16 but, as it is, we see them eager for a better land, that is to say, a heavenly one. For this reason God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has now prepared a city for them.
Lakini kama kyajhijhele, bhinoghela nchi jhajhijhele kinofu, ambajho ndo jha kumbinguni. Henu K'yara ibhonalepi soni kukutibhwa K'yara ghwa bhene, kwa kujha bhatayarisi mji kwandabha jha bhene.
17 Through faith Abraham, as soon as God put him to the test, offered up Isaac. Yes, he who had joyfully welcomed the promises was on the point of sacrificing his only son
Jhajhele kwa imani kujha Ibrahimu baada jha kujaribibhwa, ambosili Isaka. Ndo muene ambajhe ajhijhopelili kwa kuhobhokela ahadi, ambosili mwana munu ghwa pekee,
18 with regard to whom he had been told, "It is through Isaac that your posterity shall be traced."
ambajhee panani pa muene jhajobhibhu, “Kuhoma kwa Isaka uzao bhwa bhebhe wibetakutibhwa.”
19 For he reckoned that God is even able to raise a man up from among the dead, and, figuratively speaking, it was from among the dead that he received Isaac again.
Ibrahimu amanyili kujha K'yara ajhele ni bhuwesu bhwa kumfufula Isaka kuhoma kwa bhafu ni kulongela kwa lugha jha maumbo, an'njambelili.
20 Through faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau, even in connexion with things soon to come.
Jhajhele kwa imani ni kujha Isaka ambariki Yakobo ni Esau kuhusu mambo ghaghihida.
21 Through faith Jacob, when dying, blessed each of Joseph's sons, and, leaning on the top of his staff, worshipped God.
Jhajhele kwa imani tu Yakobo bhoajhele mu hali jha kufwa, ambariki khila mmonga ghwa bhana bha Yusufu. Yakobo aabuduili, ajheghemili panani pa ndonga jha muene.
22 Through faith Joseph, when he was near his end, made mention of the departure of the descendants of Israel, and gave orders about his own body.
Jhajhele kwa imani kujha Yusufu bhwakati bhwa muene bhwa mwishu bhoakaribili, ajobhili juu jha kubhoka kwa bhana bha Israeli Misri ni kubhalaghisya kutola pamonga ni mifupa ghya muene.
23 Through faith the child Moses was hid for three months by his parents, because they saw his rare beauty; and the king's edict had no terror for them.
Jjhajhele kwa imani kujha Musa, bho ahogoliki, afighibhu kwa miesi midatu ni bhazazi bha muene kwa ndabha bhambwene kujha ndo muana n'debe jha ajhele n'nofu, na bhatishiki lepi ni amri jha mfalme.
24 Through faith Moses, when he grew to manhood, refused to be known as Pharaoh's daughter's son,
Jhajhele kwa imani kujha Musa paibeta kujha munu mzima, abelili kukutibhwa muana ghwa mwali Farao.
25 having determined to endure ill-treatment along with the people of God rather than enjoy the short-lived pleasures of sin;
Badala jhiake, ahaguili kushiriki malombosi pamonga ni bhanu bha K'yara badala jha kuhobhokela anasa sya dhambi lukhombi.
26 because he deemed the reproaches which he might meet with in the service of the Christ to be greater riches than all the treasures of Egypt; for he fixed his gaze on the coming reward.
Afikilileghe soni jha kun'kesya Kristu kujha ndo utajiri mbaha kuliko hazina sya Misri kwa ndabha akasisi mihu gha muene mu zawadi sya wakati bhwa muene bhwawihida.
27 Through faith he left Egypt, not being frightened by the king's anger; for he held on his course as seeing the unseen One.
Jhajhele kwa imani kujha Musa abhokili Misri. Atililepi ligoga lya mfalme, kwa kujha asindemela kwa kulanga kwa jhaabhonekeneghe lepi.
28 Through faith he instituted the Passover, and the sprinkling with blood so that the destroyer of the firstborn might not touch the Israelites.
Jhajhele kwa imani kujha ajhikamuili pasaka ni kunyunyizila damu, illi kwamba wiharibiajhi bhwa jhaahogoliki bhwa kubhuandu asibhuasi kubhakamula bhahogolanu bhakubhuandu bha kigosi bha Israeli.
29 Through faith they passed through the Red Sea as though they were passing over dry land, but the Egyptians, when they tried to do the same, were swallowed up.
Jhajhele kwa imani kujha bhibetakulobhoka mu bahari jha shamu kama pandema. Bho bhamisri bhikitanga kulobhoka, bhajhibhisibhu.
30 Through faith the walls of Jericho fell to the ground after being surrounded for seven days.
Jhajhele kwa imani kujha lubhomba lwa Yeriko bhwabinili pasi, baada jha kubhusyongoka kwa magono saba.
31 Through faith the notorious sinner Rahab did not perish along with the disobedient, for she had welcomed the spies and had sheltered them.
Jhajhele kwa imani kujha Rahabu kahaba jhola ajhangamililepi pamonga ni bhala ambabho bhajhelepi bhatiifu, kwandabha ajhele abhapokili bhapelelezi ni kubhabheka panofu.
32 And why need I say more? For time will fail me if I tell the story of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, and of David and Samuel and the Prophets;
Na nijobhayi kiki nesu? Ndabha muda bhwitosya lepi kupanga gha Gideoni, Barak, Samsoni, Yeftha, Daudi, Samweli ni sya manabii,
33 men who, as the result of faith, conquered whole kingdoms, brought about true justice, obtained promises from God, stopped lions' mouths,
ambabho kup'et'ela imani bhasitobhisi falme, bhabhombi haki, na bhajhambelili ahadi. Bhafidendili misingi ghya simba,
34 deprived fire of its power, escaped being killed by the sword, out of weakness were made strong, became mighty in war, put to flight foreign armies.
bhasimisi nghofu sya muoto, bhajhepili ncha jha bhupanga bhaponyesibhu kuhoma mu matamu, bhajhele mashujaa mu ngondo, na bhasababisi majeshi mahesya kukhambela.
35 Women received back their dear ones alive from the dead; and others were put to death with torture, refusing the deliverance offered to them--that they might secure a better resurrection.
Bhadala bhajhambelili bhafu bhabhene kwa njela jha bhufufuo. Bhamana bhatesibhu, bila kujhendekela kulekibhwa huru ili kwamba bhabhwesiajhi kukabha bhuzoefu nesu.
36 Others again were tested by cruel mockery and by scourging; yes, and by chains and imprisonment.
Bhamana bhatesibhu kwa kujimulibhwa ni kutobhibhwa, naam, hata bhamana kufungibhwa ni kusopibhwa mu magereza.
37 They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, they were tried by temptation, they were killed with the sword. They went from place to place in sheepskins or goatskins, enduring want, oppression and cruelty.
Bhatumalibhu maganga. Bhadumulibhu fipandi kwa misumenu. Bhakhomibhu kwa bhupanga. Bhalotili kwa ngosi sya likondoo ni ngosi sya mene bhajhele bhahitaji, bhajhendelili mu maumifu ni kukhetibhwa mabhibhi
38 (They were men of whom the world was not worthy.) They wandered across deserts and mountains, or hid themselves in caves and in holes in the ground.
(ambagho ulimwengu ulondekeghelepi kujha naghu), bhalolod'ek'eghe mu nyika, fidonda, mu mapango ni mumal'ende gha bhud'opi.
39 And although by their faith all these people won God's approval, none of them received the fulfilment of His great promise;
Ingabhwa bhanu bhoha abha bhajhedekelibhu ni K'yara kwandabha jha imani jha bhene, bhajhamb'elili lepi kya bhaahidibhu.
40 for God had provided for them and us something better, so that apart from us they were not to attain to full blessedness.
K'yara alongolili kutup'ela khenu kya kuj'hele bora, ili kwamba bila tete ngabhabhwesilepi kukamilisibhwa.
