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.
Nambeambe imani yabile nga hakika yabile nayo mundu muda atarajia kilebe pulani kwa ujasiri. Ni hakika ya kilebe chabile bado bonekaniya.
2 For by it the saints of old won God's approval.
Kwa mana yee apindo bitu batithibitika kwa imani yabe.
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 twatifahamu kwamba ulimwengu waumbilwe kwa amri ya Nnongo, ili kwamba chelo chatibonekaniya chatitengenezwa kwaa bonekana ni ilebe ambayo yabile yatibonekana. (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.
Ibile kwa mana ya imani kuwa Habili atikumtolea Nnongo sadaka ya kufaa kuliko kagapanga Kaini. Yaibile ni kwa mana yee atikusifiwa kuba mwene haki. Nnongo atikumsifu kwa mana ya zawadi yailetike. Kwa mana yoo, Habili bado abaya, ingawa atiwaa.
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.
Yaibile kwa imani kuba Enoko apotwilwe nnani na abonike kwaa kiwo.”Abonekine kwaa, kwa mana Nnongo atikuntola” kwa mana yabayilwe nnani yake kuba atikumpendeza Nnongo kabla ya kuntola 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.
Ntopo imani yatiwezekana kwaa kumpendeza Nnongo, kwa mana ywaisa kwa Nnongo lazima aaminiye kuba Nnongo abile nkoti ni huapatia zawadi balo bankengamite.
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.
Yabile kwa imani kuba Nuhu, abile akanyilwe ni Nnongo husiana na makowe ambago yaibile kwaa yatibonekine kwa heshima ya Nnongo kachuchengya safina kwaajili ya kulopwa familia yake. Kwa kupanga yee, atikuihukumu dunia ni kuba mrithi ba haki yaisa petya 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.
Yaibile ni kwa imani kuwa Ibrahimu, paakemilwe alowa kueshimu no yendya pandu paapalikwa pokya kati urithi. Ayei bila yowa pandu gani pabile atiyenda.
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;
Yabile ni kwa imani yabile yatiitama mu'nnema ya ahadi kati mgeni. Atitama mu'lihema pamope ni Isaka ni Yakobo, barithi babenge ni ahadi yeyelo.
10 for he continually looked forward to the city which has the foundations, whose architect and builder is God.
Ayee nga sababu atitarajia kuupata mji ambao ywaubuni na kuuchenga alowa pangilwa Nnongo.
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.
Yabile ni kwa imani panga Ibrahimu, na Sara mwene, wapokii ngupu ya tunga ndumbo ingawa babile apindo muno, kwa mana wamweni Nnongo kuwa mwaminifu, ywabile atiwaahidia mwana nnalome.
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.
Kwa eyo kae boka kwa mundu yolo yumo ywaabile atikaribia kiwo batibelekwa bana babalangika kwaa. Babile banyansima kati itobdo za kumaunde kati mbeyu ya mchanga katika fukwe ga 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;
Aba bote bawile katika imani bila pokya ahadi, ila, babile baibweni ni kuikaribisha kwa kutalu, batibaya panga babile ageni na apitaji nnani ya nnema,
14 for men who acknowledge this make it manifest that they are seeking elsewhere a country of their own.
Kwa balo balongela makowe kati aga babekite bayana kuwa waipala nchi yabe bene.
15 And if they had cherished the remembrance of the country they had left, they would have found an opportunity to return;
Kwa kweli, kati babile bakiiwaza nchi ambayo babokite, babile na nafasi ya kerebuka.
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 kati ya ibile, batamaniya nnema waubile bora, ambayo, ni ya kumaunde. Kwa eyo Nnongo abweni kwaa kiya kemelwa Nnongo wabe, kwa mana atiutayarisha nnema kwaajili yabe.
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
Yabile ni kwa imani panga Ibrahimu baada ya jaribiwa, atimtoa Isaka. Nga nyoo, ywatipokya kwa puraha ahadi, alimtoa mwana wake mwene,
18 with regard to whom he had been told, "It is through Isaac that your posterity shall be traced."
ambaye nnani yake atilongelwa, “Boka kwa Isaka ubeleki wako walowa kemelwa.”
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 atangite panga Nnongo abile na uwezo wa kumfufua Isaka boka mu. kiwo, na kwa longela kwa lugha ya maumbo, atimpokya.
20 Through faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau, even in connexion with things soon to come.
Yabile ni katika imani panga Isaka atimbariki Yakobo na Esau kuhusu makowe gaisa.
21 Through faith Jacob, when dying, blessed each of Joseph's sons, and, leaning on the top of his staff, worshipped God.
Ibile ni kwa imani panga Yakobo abile katika hali ya waa, atekumbarikiya kila yumo wa bana ba Yusufu. Yakobo aabudiya, kaegemeya nnani ya fimbo yake.
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.
Yabile ni kwa imani panga Yusufu muda wake wa mwisho ubile papipi, alongela nnani ya boka kwa bana ba Israel Misri na kabaagiza tola pamope nabo mifupa gake.
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.
Ibile ni kwa imani panga Musa, paabelekilwe, atibikana kwaa muda wa miyei itatu na azazi bake kwa sababu bamweni kuwa ni mwana nchunu ywabile mzuri, na bayogopa kwaa amri ya mpwalume.
24 Through faith Moses, when he grew to manhood, refused to be known as Pharaoh's daughter's son,
Ibile ni kwa imani panga Musa paabile mundu mpindo, akani kukemwa mwana wa nwawa wa Farao.
25 having determined to endure ill-treatment along with the people of God rather than enjoy the short-lived pleasures of sin;
Badala yake, achawa shiriki mateso pamope ni bandu ba Nnongo badala ya puraika ni anasa za sambi kwa muda nchunu.
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.
Awazile kiya ya kunkengama Kristo kuwa ni utajiri nkolo kuliko hazina za Misri kwa mana atumbwi minyo katika zawadi muda wake woisa.
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.
Ibile ni kwa imani panga Musa aboka Misri. Ahofia kwaa hasira ya mpwalume, kwa mana atipumilia kwa lolekeya kwa ywabonekana kwaa.
28 Through faith he instituted the Passover, and the sprinkling with blood so that the destroyer of the firstborn might not touch the Israelites.
Ibile ni kwa imani panga aikamwi Pasaka na kunyunyiza mwai, ili panga mharibu wa mbeleki wa kwanza aweze kwaa kubakamwa wabeleki wa kwanza analome wa baisraeli.
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.
Ibile ni kwa imani panga bapeta katika bahari ya shamu kati pannema nkavu. Muda bamisri batijaribu peta, balimezwa.
30 Through faith the walls of Jericho fell to the ground after being surrounded for seven days.
Ibile ni kwa imani panga ukuta ba Yeriko utombwike pae, baada ya kuuzunguka kwa masoba 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.
Ibile ni kwa imani panga Rahabu yolo kahaba aangamiya kwaa pamope ni balo babile kwaa atiifu, kwa sababu abile abapokii bapelelezi na kubahifadhi salama.
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;
Nibaye namani zaidi? Mana muda utosha kwaa longela ga Gideoni, Barak, Samsoni, Yeftha, Daudi, Samweli na manabii,
33 men who, as the result of faith, conquered whole kingdoms, brought about true justice, obtained promises from God, stopped lions' mouths,
ambao pitya imani batizishinda falme, bapangite haki, bapokya ahadi.
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.
Baikanikya mikanwa ya imba, batizima ngupu ya mwoto, bakwepite ncha ya upanga, baponywa boka mu matamwe, babile mashujaa vitani, na catisababisha majeshi ga ageni kupiya.
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.
Alwawa bapokii bandu ba kiwo babe kwa ndela ya ufufuo. Benge bateswile, bila yeketya kulekwa huru ili panga baweze pata uzoefu wa ufufuo ubile bora muno.
36 Others again were tested by cruel mockery and by scourging; yes, and by chains and imprisonment.
Benge batiteswa kwa dhihaka na kwa kombwa, eloo, hata kwa tabilwa na kwa bekwa muligereza.
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.
Bapondwile maliwe. Batitekwanikwa ipande kwa misumeno. Batibulagwa kwa upanga. Batiyenda kwa ngozi ya ngondolo na ngozi ya mbuzi babile babapala, batiyendelya katika maumivu na mapangilwe yanoite kwaa.
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.
(Ambayo ulimwengu wastahili kwaa kuwa nabo) batitanga tanga mmwitu, mukitombe, katika mapango na katika mashimo ga nnema.
39 And although by their faith all these people won God's approval, none of them received the fulfilment of His great promise;
Ingawa bandu bote aba batiyeketiwa na Nnongo kwa sababu ya imani yabe, bapokya kwaa chaatiahidia.
40 for God had provided for them and us something better, so that apart from us they were not to attain to full blessedness.
Nnongo atiyongolya kutupatia kilebe kibile bora. ili panga bila twenga baweza kwaa kamilishwa.
