Ebilunba 11
1 Li dandanli tie yua n pia ti dugidi ki bani cain ke o baa ba wan sugini ki baa yaala, ki doagidi ki wani ke o pia, ba wan kaa da nua yaala.
And faith is of things hoped for a confidence, of matters not seen a conviction,
2 Bi kpiaba n den pia yaa dandanli yaapo n teni ke Utienu tendi bi siediŋamo.
for in this were the elders testified of;
3 Li tie leni li dandanli yaapo ke ti bandi ke ŋanduna den tagi leni U tienu maama. ki teni ke tin nua yaala moala ñani tin ki nua yaala yaa niini. (aiōn g165)
by faith we understand the ages to have been prepared by a saying of God, in regard to the things seen not having come out of things appearing; (aiōn g165)
4 Li tie leni li dandanli yaapo ke Abela den padi U tienu po yaa padili n ŋani ki cie Kayina yaali, kelima o dandanli yaapo U tienu den doagidi ki yedi ke o tiegi ki den ga o padili. li go tie laa dandanli yaapo ke o baa ki maada ba leni wan kaa ji ye.
by faith a better sacrifice did Abel offer to God than Cain, through which he was testified to be righteous, God testifying of his gifts, and through it, he being dead, doth yet speak.
5 Li tie leni li dandanli yaapo ke U tienu den taa Enoka ke waa den bandi mi kuuma baa go den laa o kelima U tienu den taa o. hali U tienu daa den taa o o den ba siedi ke o tie yua ke U tienu pali mani o po.
By faith Enoch was translated — not to see death, and was not found, because God did translate him; for before his translation he had been testified to — that he had pleased God well,
6 Lan wan yua n ki pia dandanli o kan fidi ki mangi U tienu pali. kelima li tie tiladi yua n bua ki nagini U tienu n daani ke U tienu ye, ke yaaba n lingi O kuli baa ba i panpaani.
and apart from faith it is impossible to please well, for it behoveth him who is coming to God to believe that He is, and to those seeking Him He becometh a rewarder.
7 Li den tie leni li dandanli yaapo, ke U tienu den liidi ki waani Nowe yaa bonla n baa tieni ba ke o baa kuli daa den nua la. ke U tienu fangili jeje den cuo o ke o den kpie ku ñindabiaciangu, ki baa faabi o diegunni yaaba. leni lani, o den buni ki cuo ŋanduna. o den ba U tienu kani li moamoansaali ke o tie nitegini ka yaali n baadi leni li dandanli.
By faith Noah, having been divinely warned concerning the things not yet seen, having feared, did prepare an ark to the salvation of his house, through which he did condemn the world, and of the righteousness according to faith he became heir.
8 Li tie leni li dandanli yaa po, ke Abalahama den tuo U tienu yiinu, ki den fii ki gedi wan baa ba ki diedi yaa diema yaa niini. o den gedi ba leni wan kaa den bani wan caa naani.
By faith Abraham, being called, did obey, to go forth to the place that he was about to receive for an inheritance, and he went forth, not knowing whither he doth go;
9 Li tie leni li dandanli yaapo ke o den gedi ki ban kali nani o nilamo yeni, U tienu n den niani o yaa tinga yaa niini. o den ye a gbandiena nni leni Isaaka leni Jakobo ban yaaba n den taani leni o ki ba laa ñoanianu.
by faith he did sojourn in the land of the promise as a strange country, in tabernacles having dwelt with Isaac and Jacob, fellow-heirs of the same promise,
10 Kelima o den guudi ki baa le yaa dogu yaa tanpuna n paa. naani ke U tienu wani O yaaba, n tie yua n diani laa dogu ki go tie u maalo.
for he was looking for the city having the foundations, whose artificer and constructor [is] God.
11 Li tie leni li dandanli yaapo ke Sala o yaaba, baa leni o bina n den pendi leni wan ma, U tienu den teni ke o fidi ki ba u buolu, kelima o den dugi yua n niano yeni yaapo. ki bani ke O tie dugika.
By faith also Sarah herself did receive power to conceive seed, and she bare after the time of life, seeing she did judge Him faithful who did promise;
12 Lan yaapo, leni jayendo, ba ke o den podi ki cuaga, o den mala yaa puoliŋuani n kaa pia cuali nani tanpoli ŋmabina, nani yaa tanbiima n ye mi ñincianma kunu ban kan fidi ki cuadi yaama.
wherefore, also from one were begotten — and that of one who had become dead — as the stars of the heaven in multitude, and as sand that [is] by the sea-shore — the innumerable.
13 Bi kuli den kpe leni li dandanli kaa den fidi ki ba yaa bonla ke U tienu den nianba, ama bi den tuodi ki la laa bonli kuli hali fuagima ki den mangi bi pala li po; ki tuo ke bi tie canba leni sancenba ŋanduna nni.
In faith died all these, not having received the promises, but from afar having seen them, and having been persuaded, and having saluted [them], and having confessed that strangers and sojourners they are upon the earth,
14 Yaaba n maadi yeni doagidi ki wani ke bi lingi bi doguceli.
for those saying such things make manifest that they seek a country;
15 Bi yama yaa den baali ban den ñani yaa dogu po, bi den baa fidi ki guani li po.
and if, indeed, they had been mindful of that from which they came forth, they might have had an opportunity to return,
16 Ama bi den lingi yaa dogu n ŋani ki cie; lan tie tanpoli diema. lan yaapo laa pia U tienu po fe leni wan tuo ke bi yini O bi Tienu. kelima O bogini bi po u dogu.
but now they long for a better, that is, an heavenly, wherefore God is not ashamed of them, to be called their God, for He did prepare for them a city.
17 Li den tie leni li dandanli yaapo, Abalahama ki baa padi Isaaka, U tienu n den biigo yaa yogunu ke o den tuo ki baa padi o bonjayenyenga baa ke o den ba U tienu ñoanianu.
By faith Abraham hath offered up Isaac, being tried, and the only begotten he did offer up who did receive the promises,
18 Wan yua ke U tienu den niani o ki yedi: leni Isaaka yaa kani a baa ba u puoluŋuanu.
of whom it was said — 'In Isaac shall a seed be called to thee;'
19 O den tia ki bani ke U tienu pia u paalu, O baa fidi ki guani ki fiini ba a tinkpila. lan yaapo O baa fidi ki guani ki fiini Isaaka baa o yaa kpe.
reckoning that even out of the dead God is able to raise up, whence also in a figure he did receive [him].
20 Li den tie leni li dandanli yaapo, ke I saaka den gaali Jakobo leni Esayu kelima yaali n kpendi yaa po.
By faith, concerning coming things, Isaac did bless Jacob and Esau;
21 Li tie kelima li dandanli yaa po Jakobo wan den baa kpe yaa yogunu, o den ñii o gbianu yuli po ki gaali Josefi bila, yendi yendo.
by faith Jacob dying — each of the sons of Joseph did bless, and did bow down upon the top of his staff;
22 Li den tie leni li dandanli yaapo, Josefi n den nagidi mi kuuma yaa yogunu, o den maadi I saleleenba yaaba buolu ñama Ejibiti diema nni, ki go den bili li ñoabonli yaali n tie o tinkpikpaba maama.
by faith, Joseph dying, concerning the outgoing of the sons of Israel did make mention, and concerning his bones did give command.
23 Li den tie leni li dandanli yaapo, ke Musa madi yogunu, o danba den wuoni o hali ŋmaali taa. kelima bi den sua ke ki bigi yeni den ŋani, baa den jie o bado ñoabonli.
By faith Moses, having been born, was hid three months by his parents, because they saw the child comely, and were not afraid of the decree of the king;
24 Li den tie leni li dandanli yaa po, Musa n den fandi, o den yie ban yino Falono bisalo bijua.
by faith Moses, having become great, did refuse to be called a son of the daughter of Pharaoh,
25 O den faadi ki taani leni U tienu niba ki lee fala ki cie wan mangi o pali leni ti tuonbiadi yemanma o yogunu waamu bebe yaa po.
having chosen rather to be afflicted with the people of God, than to have sin's pleasure for a season,
26 O den nuanla ke o yaa laa i fee nani Kilisiti yeni li tie o po piacianma ki cie Ejibiti ŋalimano kuli, kelima o den nua wan baa ba yaa panpaani liiga.
greater wealth having reckoned the reproach of the Christ than the treasures in Egypt, for he did look to the recompense of reward;
27 Li tie leni li dandanli yaapo, ke o den ñani Ejibiti dogu nni, kaa jie Ejibiti bado pabienli. o den se ke li pa o yanjagili nni kelima o den nua o baa kuli n ki nua yua.
by faith he left Egypt behind, not having been afraid of the wrath of the king, for, as seeing the Invisible One — he endured;
28 Laa dandanli yaa po o den teni ke bi bogini ki tieni pak, mi pendima janma, ke bi go den mii mi soama bi dienna buliñoana po. lani n tie mi kuuma Maleki n da sii Isaleleenba yaaba bonjakpiala.
by faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of the blood, that He who is destroying the first-born might not touch them.
29 Li de n tie leni li dandanli yaapo, ke Isaleleenba yaaba den tagini mi ñincianma nani ki tinkuongi yeni, ama Ejibiti yaaba, yaaba n den biiga ki baa laa ñincianma siiga, mi den naliba.
By faith they did pass through the Red Sea as through dry land, which the Egyptians having received a trial of, were swallowed up;
30 Li tie leni li dandanli yaapo, ke Jeliko bilinciamu den baa yaa yogunu ke Isaleleenba yaaba den cuoni ki lindi u hali dana lele.
by faith the walls of Jericho did fall, having been surrounded for seven days;
31 Li tie leni li dandanli yaapo, ke li poconconli Lahaba ki den taani ki bodi leni U tienu niyiekaaba kelima o den gaa Isaleleenba niba yaaba n den cua ki baa diidiu dogu. o den ga bi cangu bonŋanla ki den todiba.
by faith Rahab the harlot did not perish with those who disbelieved, having received the spies with peace.
32 N go baa yedi be ki pugini? mii pia o yogunu ki baa maadi Jedeyono maama leni Balaka, leni Samisona, leni Jefite, leni Dafidi, leni Samieli, leni bi sawalipuaba yaa maama kuli.
And what shall I yet say? for the time will fail me recounting about Gideon, Barak also, and Samson, and Jephthah, David also, and Samuel, and the prophets,
33 Ban kuli leni li dandanli, bi den koani ki paadi i dogi ki tieni yaali n tiega ki go den baa Utienu n nianba yaala, ki den luoni i yangbanli ñoana,
who through faith did subdue kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped mouths of lions,
34 Ki den gbindi mi fantanbiadima jama, ki sani ki ciadi leni mu jugisiemu, ki paagi leni i yiani, ki tie jakoanda bu toabu nni, ki teli bi nilanba toa tuada.
quenched the power of fire, escaped the mouth of the sword, were made powerful out of infirmities, became strong in battle, caused to give way camps of the aliens.
35 Puotanba den laa bi kpiiba ke bi den guani ki fii bi tinkpiba siiga. bi waani bi tianba fala hali ke baa den tuo mi faabima kelima bi bua ki baa yaa tinkpifiima n ŋani ki cie.
Women received by a rising again their dead, and others were tortured, not accepting the redemption, that a better rising again they might receive,
36 Bi den ñuadi bi ne, ki puaba leni i febi, ki loli ki kpa bi tianba, ki kuani bi ne a kpaadi diena nni,
and others of mockings and scourgings did receive trial, and yet of bonds and imprisonment;
37 Bi den teni ke bi lugidi bi tianba a tana, ki jia ki jendi bi ne, ki waanba o falaciamo, ki kpa bi tianba leni mu jugisiemu, bi tianba den yie ti pegbandi leni ti ŋuagbandi ki caa i kankaani kelima bi den luo li bonyiekaala, ke bi niba den bia bi po, ki go wangiba fala,
they were stoned, they were sawn asunder, they were tried; in the killing of the sword they died; they went about in sheepskins, in goatskins — being destitute, afflicted, injuriously treated,
38 ŋanduna naa den dagidi kaa pia laa nimoanba, bi den gaandi mi fanpienma nni leni a juana nni leni ti jualondi nni, leni i tinfali nni.
of whom the world was not worthy; in deserts wandering, and [in] mountains, and [in] caves, and [in] the holes of the earth;
39 Ba ke ban kuli den baa ke U tienu tieni bi po o siediŋamo kelima bi dandanli yaapo, baa den ba wan den nianbi yaala,
and these all, having been testified to through the faith, did not receive the promise,
40 Kelima Utienu n den jagi ti po yaa bonŋanla yaapo teni ke bi kan fidi ki ŋanbi ki dagidi cain li yaa tie leni tinba yaa ka.
God for us something better having provided, that apart from us they might not be made perfect.
