Hebrews 11
1 Now faith is assurance of things hoped for, proof of things not seen.
Linu, Intumelo kukolwa zintu zosepa chakulibelele. Bupaki buamana ni zintu ziseni kubonwa.
2 For by this, the elders obtained approval.
Chebakalyakuti bazazi betanzi baba amuhelwa chetumelo yabo.
3 By faith we understand that the universe has been framed by the word of God, so that what is seen has not been made out of things which are visible. (aiōn g165)
Chetumelo tuzuwisisa kuti inkanda ibabumbwa chetaelo ya Ireeza, njokuti chibonekete kenezibapangiwa kuzwa hazintu zibabwenekete. (aiōn g165)
4 By faith Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he had testimony given to him that he was righteous, God testifying with respect to his gifts; and through it he, being dead, still speaks.
Ibali chetumelo kuti Abele apangile Ireeza chitabelo chihita cha Kaine, imi kuzwaho abapangiwa kuba yonjolwele, imi Ireeza abawambi bulotu kuamana ni chachitabelo chakwe. Imi chetumelo Abele usikwete kuwamba, nihafwile.
5 By faith Enoch was taken away, so that he wouldn’t see death, and he was not found, because God translated him. For he has had testimony given to him that before his translation he had been well pleasing to God.
Ibali chetumelo kuti Enoke abahindilwa kwiwulu, njokuti kanababoni ifu.” Kanabawaniki, kakuli Ireeza abamuhindi. “Mukuti naseni kuhindilwa kwiwulu, kubapakiwa kuti abakutabisa Ireeza.
6 Without faith it is impossible to be well pleasing to him, for he who comes to God must believe that he exists, and that he is a rewarder of those who seek him.
Linu chosena intumelo kahenakuhuba kumutabisa. Mukuti kwina nenza kuti zumwi hakeza kwa Ireeza uswanela kuzumina kuti kwena uhala imi kuti njimuhi wamipuzo yabo bamusaka.
7 By faith Noah, being warned about things not yet seen, moved with godly fear, prepared a ship for the saving of his house, through which he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith.
Ibali chetumelo kuti Nuwe, hamana kuhewa mulaezo kuamana nizintu ziseni kubonwa, chekute lyabuireeza awole kuzaka chikepe kuhuna bezubo yakwe. Chakutenda bulyo, abanyazi inkanda ni kuba muyoli wazinjolola ziyendelela chakuya chetumelo.
8 By faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed to go out to the place which he was to receive for an inheritance. He went out, not knowing where he went.
Ibali chetumelo kuti Abrahama, chosumpwa, abakuteki ni kuzwa nakaya kwabali kukatambwila kuyola chanda. Abazwi nakaya, nasezi kuti ukaya kuhi.
9 By faith he lived as an alien in the land of promise, as in a land not his own, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise.
Ibali chetumelo kuti abahali kuhala muchisi chesepiso nali muzwahule. Abahali kuhala mumatente ni Isaka ni Jakobo, babali bayoli besepiso iswana.
10 For he was looking for the city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God.
Mukuti abalolete kubusu kumuleneni wina mitomo, utenda kuti mufundeli ni muzaki uswanela kuba nji Ireeza.
11 By faith even Sarah herself received power to conceive, and she bore a child when she was past age, since she counted him faithful who had promised.
Ibali chetumelo, nihakubabulyo Sarah iyemwine kanabali kupepa, mukuti Abrahama abawani maata akupepa. Izi zibapangahali bulyo, nihakuba kuti chabasupele, sina hakuhupulwa chabusepahali kozi ababahi chibaka chesepiso.
12 Therefore as many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as innumerable as the sand which is by the sea shore, were fathered by one man, and him as good as dead.
Chobulyo, kuzwila kumukwame umwina, chabali kuboneka kufwile, njabazali bantu benjihite sina inkani mwiwulu imi sina isekeseke lyamwiwate, usawoleki kubalwa.
13 These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them and embraced them from afar, and having confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.
Ibali mwitumelo kuti bonse bafwile kana bababoni isepiso zabo. Linu, kuzwa hakubabona ni kubalumelisa chibasina kule, babazumini kuti bayezi imi bahitite munkanda isali yabo.
14 For those who say such things make it clear that they are seeking a country of their own.
Mukuti abo bawamba izozintu bawamba chabuniti kuti bakabusaka munzi wakwikala.
15 If indeed they had been thinking of that country from which they went out, they would have had enough time to return.
Haiba babali kuzeza inkanda kubabayendi, babakuwola kuba ni nako yakubola.
16 But now they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed of them, to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them.
Kono kuya kamukwikalile, ni balakaza inkanda ina hande, ili, yakwiulu. Chobulyo Ireeza kaswabiswa kusumpwa Ireeza wabo, chebakalakuti ababa lukisezi muleneñi wabo.
17 By faith, Abraham, being tested, offered up Isaac. Yes, he who had gladly received the promises was offering up his only born son,

18 to whom it was said, “Your offspring will be accounted as from Isaac,”
Ibali nji kwa Abrahama kuzibali kuwambwa, “Ibali chenzila ya Isaka kuti behwa babehwa bako kababikwe izina.
19 concluding that God is able to raise up even from the dead. Figuratively speaking, he also did receive him back from the dead.
Abrahama abahupuli kuti Ireeza wina maata akubusa Isaka kubafwile, imi kuwamba buniti, aba mubozekezwa.
20 By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau, even concerning things to come.
Ibali chetumelo hape kuamana ni zintu zakubusu kuti Isaka afuyole Jakobo ni Isau.
21 By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, and worshiped, leaning on the top of his staff.
Ibali chetumelo kuti Jakobo, mwinako yakufwa, habafuyoli zumwi ni zumwi wabana ba Josefa. Jakobo abalapeli, nazendamine hekoli yakwe.
22 By faith Joseph, when his end was near, made mention of the departure of the children of Israel, and gave instructions concerning his bones.

23 By faith Moses, when he was born, was hidden for three months by his parents, because they saw that he was a beautiful child; and they were not afraid of the king’s commandment.

24 By faith Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter,
Ibali chetumelo kuti Mushe, chokula, chakana kusumpwa mwan'a wa mwan'a Simwine wa mwanakazana.
25 choosing rather to share ill treatment with God’s people than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a time,
Chebakalyakuti, abaliketeli kunyanda ni bantu ba Ireeza, kuhita kulikola minyaka ya cheve chenakozana.
26 considering the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt; for he looked to the reward.
Abanahani kuti kunyanda kwakwichilila Jesu Christe kuhita chifumu chamwa Egepita. Mukuti ababikite menso akwe kuzetawane.
27 By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.
Ibali chetumelo kuti Mushe azwe mwa Egepita. Kanabatiyi bubengi bwasimwine, mukuti abanyandi sina yobwene yasabonwa.
28 By faith he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of the blood, that the destroyer of the firstborn should not touch them.

29 By faith they passed through the Red Sea as on dry land. When the Egyptians tried to do so, they were swallowed up.

Ibali chetumelo Rahaba wehule hasana abafwi nabana basana babakukuteki, kakuli abatambuli matwela chekozo.
32 What more shall I say? For the time would fail me if I told of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, Samuel, and the prophets—
Imi chinzi hape chiniwola kuwamba? Mukuti inako kayinizuminini haiba niniwamba kaza Gedioni, Baraki, Samsoni, Japhethah, Davida, Samwele ni ziamana ni bapolofita.
33 who through faith subdued kingdoms, worked out righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,
Ibali chetumelo hababahapi mibuso, kusebeleza buniti, imi babatambuli insepiso. Babeyali milomo ibandavu,
34 quenched the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, from weakness were made strong, grew mighty in war, and caused foreign armies to flee.
Babazimisi maata amulilo, baba banduki bukali bwamukwale, babahozwa kumatuku, bababi indwalume mukondo imi babakomi impi zakunze.
35 Women received their dead by resurrection. Others were tortured, not accepting their deliverance, that they might obtain a better resurrection.
Banakazi bababozekezwa bafwile babo chakubuswa. Bamwi baba nyandiswa, chakusamuhela kulukuluwa kokuti nibawane kubuswa kwina nenza.
36 Others were tried by mocking and scourging, yes, moreover by bonds and imprisonment.
Bamwi babakuliwa chakushengunwinwa ni kushumpwa, mane ni kuhambwa nisimbi ni kubikwa mutolongo.
37 They were stoned. They were sawn apart. They were tempted. They were slain with the sword. They went around in sheep skins and in goat skins; being destitute, afflicted, ill-treated—
Babapwacholwa ni mabwe. Babanokolwa zilama zobele. Babehayiwa chamikwale. Babazw ni kuyenda nibazabele makabi embelele ni ipene. Bababotanite, babalyatililwe, kunyandiswa.
38 of whom the world was not worthy—wandering in deserts, mountains, caves, and the holes of the earth.
Inkanda kana ibali kubaswanela. Babali kuyembana mwihalaupa, mumalundu, mumabwe, ni mumalindi mukunsi ke inkanda.
39 These all, having been commended for their faith, didn’t receive the promise,
Nihakubabulyo bonse bantu babapakwa ni Ireeza chebaka lyetumelo yabo, kana babamuheli insepiso.
40 God having provided some better thing concerning us, so that apart from us they should not be made perfect.
Ireeza abatuleleli zintu zina hande, kokuti kwande yetu, kete nibatendwe bashiyeme nenza.
